The Branding Iron

Great live music!
It was a fun atmosphere last night! Bouncer and other staff were very nice and helpful.
This place can get pretty rowdy. But it was fun and had a wide range of age groups enjoying themselves.
Good times

Great little Honky Tonk. Good drinks, great live music and very friendly staff and patrons. Will definitly go back!

I ignored this place until my late 20s because i didn’t want to hang out at the «hick bar». As it turns out Im a friggen idiot because i had a blast! Country and rock band playing lots of 90s tunes to dance to. No one sits at this bar, everyone dances. As far as small town tri cities crap goes this place is not half bad.

Yup, I was goin’ to a cowboy bar, and I’m Native (well y’know they say Indians make the best cowboys!).
My friends were in a Western mood. Western dancin’, that is. And I had to oblige. I’ve walked by (and ignored) The Branding Iron for years, but I finally made it to this olé saloon.
I was taken aback by how big and crowded the joint was. You see, we went on a Friday and there was a band. Now, I have ZERO line dancin’ skills and can’t Texas two step for the life me, but my friends were here, so I went to play cheerleader.
First things first — off to the bar. The bar was surprisingly small, but you have all you need back here. They have all your country libations: Bud, Miller, and Coors, of course. I just had to get something different – luckily they had a Long Hammer IPA on tap. Boom. So, after a short wait in line I was good.
Then it was off to absorb the music and merriment. My friends danced a few times. I played wall flower and watched them dance as well as all the other people. The band played about 65% country and 35% rock. It was nice watchin’ some old timers boot scoot their ladies around. But, mostly there were lots of baseball capped jocks and normals out there (I thought the country fad faded! Wasn’t that back in the ‘90s? Oh, we ARE in the Tri-​Cities though!)
All in all, this was a decent night out. If you want to change things up for a night out, this is definitely an option.
))) And, in case you were wondering: NO. I didn’t get to get into a fight! Oh well. Next time! (((

The wedding party from my wedding came here last summer and had a pretty good time. We were a little out of place but didn’t feel to unwelcome, if you didn’t know this is a country western bar that has live music and line dancing. The best thing about this place by far was 1 $ beers on Thursday nights.
Someone ordered a pizza which was not bad, and someone else ordered shots which were not bad either. All in all I had a pretty good time here, probably because I was drunk and with all of my best friends. The bartender was kind of rude but she was an ugly old ho anyway so I cant blame her for being mad about it.
