Mama Tried

Named after one of the greatest honky-tonk songs of all time (RIP Merle), Mama Tried is one of the best cowboy clubs across the Lone Star State. Billing itself as Dallas’ biggest country bar and honky-tonk dance hall, attendees can expect true-blue live Texas country tunes. Revelers can also play any number of kick-ass yard games: cornhole, washers and Jenga, for starters. As the name suggests, the music venue frequently hosts down-home Texas and outlaw country music, on top of a little bluegrass. Still, even those who aren’t country music stans can get a kick out of this golden Texas nugget. Throw on your finest cowboy boots and pearl snap flannel for a memorable night on the town, and be sure to bring your canines check out the dog-friendly patio.
