After searching for almost 7 years, we finally found our Fort Worth dance hall. I don’t know how we never found the Stagecoach before! We visited for the first time Saturday night. Upon entry we were struck by the traditional Texas dance hall atmosphere, and our eyes went straight to the 3,500 square foot hardwood dance floor. Good start! Jamie Richards and his band provided the live music — scheduled to begin at 8:30 they were about 20 minutes getting started. No big deal, for the prerecorded play list offered ample tunes to warm up our dance moves. The crowd included people of various dance abilities, so anyone can feel at home here. Age ranged from mid-20’s to seniors. I would guess the median age of most in attendance Saturday night were 50-ish. It was a well behaved, fun crowd. Succinctly stated, Stagecoach is exactly what we’ve been looking for. In the words of the Terminator — «we’ll be back»!

I love going to Stagecoach. It’s not perfect but it is the best place in town to enjoy dancing without being subjected to thick smoke and drunks. The patrons are civil and friendly and most of the time the band is good. Great large floor but the people there have no idea how to run a sound system. They need to stop trying to do it themselves and find a professional who knows what they are doing to set it up so the music sounds better. The place could use a lot of cleaning and fixing up. There are old unused ugly speakers that need to be removed. Dust caked all around the band stand. Many of the aquariums seem to get no maintenance and frequently look horrible. Basically they need to spend more time with upkeep and maintenance. I still love going there just wish they would not be complacent about keeping the place in good order. OH and how about spending a few bucks to get some better lighting on the dance floor? Can you say, non existent? At the very least how about putting a flood light on the mirror ball and make it spin? Spend a few of our dollars on the place and keep us coming back. Stagecoach is a great place but could use a little love.

This is a Country and Western Honky Tonk great dance floor very large. Good for 2 stepping. We came on a Saturday night to see a band. They always have a cover charge to get in. It was 12.50 that night. I do not like cover charges unless they have a band. Drinks on average are 3.50. The place is not that smokey like some bars. But you will smell like cigarettes when you leave. They have tables to sit at which go partly around the dance floor. This is not a S/M bar(Stand And Model). It mostly is husband and wife that are out for dancing. The average age was 50 but there were some 20 year old people just not many. Maybe they come out after 11PM. We left about at 1130PM. Stagecoach Ballroom plays good country music great for dancing. And they have great bands at different times. So check the web page for information.

Fun place to go boot scooting. Lots of room on the big dance floor and pool tables too. Taco Truck in the parking lot, how bad can that be?
