Where Urban Cowboy Line Dancing Still Fills A Dallas Floor
Line dancing, a mechanical bull, and live bands fill this Cedars honky-tonk complex just south of downtown Dallas.
🤠 Boots on the floor
Gilley's Dallas carries the honky-tonk name made famous by the 1980 film Urban Cowboy, rebuilt as a multi-room entertainment complex on Botham Jean Boulevard in the Cedars, just south of downtown. Live bands work a lit stage most nights, and a wide wood floor draws two-steppers and line dancers between sets.
Near the dance floor, a mechanical bull still runs, a direct nod to the original Pasadena, Texas club that inspired the movie. Beyond the main hall, the venue books concerts, private events, and touring acts across several rooms, and a quiet weeknight looks nothing like a packed Saturday.
Regulars rate it 4.5 across more than 2,700 reviews. Arrive early on show nights to claim a spot near the rail, order a longneck, and watch the floor fill as the band counts in.
