The Sons of Hermann Hall on the corner of Elm and Exposition on the outskirts of Deep Ellum has been there for more than a century. Still used as a private lodge, the building is now a Texas Historic Landmark and is open to the public for some of the areas best concerts. Visit the downstairs bar for a drink and a game of pool or shuffleboard, take in a performance of your favorite musical act upstairs in the ballroom, or take a tour of the lodge's historical bowling alley. Not much has changed inside the Sons of Hermann Hall over time. It's like stepping inside a time machine set for decades ago.

Hours: Wed 5pm-12am, Thu 6pm-12am, Fri 6pm-2am, Sat 7pm-2am

2002 | Best Place to Swing

The large, renovated ballroom upstairs at Sons of Hermann Hall is the perfect venue for swing-dance nights, which it hosts every Wednesday. There's a refinished hardwood floor, smooth enough for twirling without friction but with enough... More >
2002 | Best Honky-Tonk

Though Gypsy Tea Room books many of the same acts, Sons has one big advantage: room enough to dance. That, and it reminds us of the dance halls we grew up in, sneaking a sip from a can of Lone Star when our grandpa wasn't looking, dodging the... More >
2001 | Best Honky-tonk

Built in 1911, Sons continues to be the one legit honky-tonk island in a sea of bland imitators. It's one of the few venues that still books Texas and roots-country acts, and even though the Gypsy Tea Room offers many of the same performers (the... More >

Sons of Hermann Hall to Erect Plaque Honoring The Fallen Musicians Who've Played The Venue

By Pete Freedman | Tue, August 9, 2011

Mike Snider is sick of area musicians dying. Worse, he's sick of seeing how the whole community comes together in the wake of a death -- not because there's anything wrong with that, he's quick to say More >

How long has it been since you' a show at Sons of Hermann Hall? Well, brother, that's too long. I started going to shows when I moved here in 89 and I still love the place. Part of the charm is that not much has changed in those 20 plus years. It is a great venue-smal

Wonderful historic venue with great bar on the ground floor and an intimate setting in the second floor stage room. Bonus - it has a old timey bowling alley in the back!
