Graham Central Station

Unfortunately not a hopping spot on a Saturday night. We were told it is much busier when a band is playing. Staff wasn’t very friendly… they seemed like they were doing us a favor by being there.
These places are such a great venue and have so much potential but don’t seem to consistently draw the crowd. Might help to offer dance lessons like they do in other states to draw in people who want to learn to 2-​step or whatever else is popular here.

I remember going to this place with it first opened up. Fun times. But I haven’t been in many years. A few friends were going to the Randy Rogers concert. Walking up. The looong lines were nothing new.
45 minutes later. Finally made it to the door. Only to find out they raised the ticket price to $ 25 from $ 15. And that was just the beginning. When we all get in. The walk to get some drinks. We see plywood on the ground, covering a hole. Wow! The small bars along the walls, black trash bags for ice. And the inexperienced bartenders lacked the knowledge for basic drinks. I was surprised to see the big hole in the brick wall finally repaired after a year+. And the stage, all black and what looked like wires dangling from the ceiling.
Doubt I’ll attend another concert at this place. It was disappointing to see the lack of maintenance and/​or renovations over the years

This place is not bad, compared to other bars ive been to. Cheap cover, cheap beer. They had a live country band when i went and i gotta say they were pretty good. The real action is at the country room. All in all i had a good time.

Man, you’d think that for a place with multiple bars/​clubs inside of one big building that they’d have somewhere fantastic for the rock music lover, but nope.
If I go to Graham’s I can basically go to a country bar (ick) a tejano bar (yuck) a bar with slutty chicks dancing on the bar top (I think not) or the karaōke bar, so I always just go to the karaōke where I have to watch that annoying little mousy girl dance and sing around and I am sorry folks, but she’s not entertaining, she looks 15 and annoys the piss out of me.
They need one section that is just like hole in the wall rock bar and I’d be happy to go once in awhile.
Always too crowded, I swear there are a ton of underage kids and if you ever go when the place is empty you’ll see that they didn’t bother much with the décor.

Good Olé Country Bar. Can’t beat that.
