They even have a secluded space for pole dancing, if you're into that. Their goal is to "keep the western tradition alive with an authentic country experience. No once-a-week country music or wanna-be place here."

This college town spot has country nights on varying days of the month. Cover charge is cheaper for college students, but still carries a good crowd of all kinds of country music fans. Be sure to check the online calendar for specific events and workshops.
Specialty: Definitely wear your cowboy/cowgirl hat for the large group line dancing they have. Depending on the night, they may have beginners line dance workshops. Be wary of veteran dancers when the floor is packed—you will get bumped off if you can't keep up.
