The
Round-Up opened on July 11, 1980. It has been dubbed the
home of Good Times and Good people for many years and
has some of the best dancers and Best Looking Cowboys
in DFW and the country!

It has hosted and still continues to host many charitable
events throughout the year including: The Easter Basket
Auction, TGRA functions, Turtle Creek Choral events,
PSSA and DIVA specials, Mr. and Miss Pageants, Texas AIDS
Bike Ride, Broadway Cares events, our own employee turn-about
shows, Razzle Dazzle Dallas support, Court Shows, cook
outs, The Denim Party, The Texas Flag coin toss collecting
cash during the Pride Parade, Home for the Holidays, The
Christmas Stocking Auction, and our original Rent-A-Cowboy

Up raises over $120,000.00 per year for Dallas charities,
thanks to our caring employees and generous customers!
On February 23, 1989 A six alarm fire started to cover
up a burglary in an adjacent office destroyed the Old
Round Up Saloon as we know it today. Within days the staff
and friends had relocated to the legendary "Tex's
Ranch" on Maple avenue. Construction began immediately
to rebuild the Bar at it's old location. Painstaking efforts
were made to recreate the Bar. The only thing left from
the fire were three chandeliers and the front door.
Rumor has it that this location once served as major bookmaking
operation, and later was the home of the famed "Old
Warsaw Restaurant" It is still rumored today that
Mrs. Slavick's ghost still haunts the Saloon and loves
C&W music. Just ask your favorite bartender about
some of the stories as there are to many to tell here.
In May, 1998, the Round Up was purchased by Gary Miller
and Alan Pierce. You may have noticed a lot of changes.
We've made several improvements to the club, added credit
cards, a premium Tequila Shack, The Loft, The Tool
Shed, covered the patio, reopened the Day Bar( now called
the Parlor.) And we ain't done yet!!!! Watch for
ever changing and improving the joint. Be assured
that The Round Up will ALWAYS be a clean and friendly
atmosphere, where you can kick up your heels and feel
at home in the COUNTRY!!
