Stampede is a fun, inexpensive place to go, not to mention a great workout! A lot of the line dances (which I prefer to couples dances) are complex and exhausting, and really get your heart pumping. One word of caution, though- try to take advantage of the line-dancing lessons offered Wednesday nights before trying the dances out on the floor with everyone else. Some of the regulars there, particularly the women, are real snobs and will literally push you out of the way if they feel you're getting too close or turning the wrong way. It kind of turns what is supposed to be a fun bar experience into a competitive dance sport. I have actually gotten into several fights with people like this over line dances, but then again, what's a country bar without a barroom brawl?
Pros: Cheap cover, free drinks for ladies on Wednesdays and Saturdays, informative lessons
Cons: Uppity cowboys/cowgirls, not enough line dances, a regular aptly nicknamed Dirty Joe
