Wildhorse Saloon   

The historic three-story warehouse on Second officially became The Wildhorse Saloon with a stampede of cattle. That was in 1994. The stampede through the Saloon's doors has never stopped, though cattle have been replaced with people -- over a million annually. The bar, dance club, restaurant, TV/radio studio, live-music venue and sports bar continues to be an award- winning country-western spot attracting tourists, lovers of country and cowboys wanting to get their "Electric Slide" on or simply desiring a country-western good time. A steady stream of limited engagements by the best in the entertainment world keeps the club's voltage at electrifying levels. As for the food, well, a restaurant doesn't place on the High on the Hog BBQ Championship and or walk out with first place in the Cookin' Up the Blues "Ribs" Category for nothing. All said, the Wildhorse is worth writing home about. -- Rebecca Malone Melo
