Neon lights. Cold beer. Two-stepping. Live music. All of these images come to mind when imagining Texas honky-tonks. Places where folks from all corners come together to enjoy a good time after long days in the Texas sun. Now one of those beloved halls is up for grabs for someone wanting to continue Texas’ music legacy.
The Swingin Door’s Saloon in Terrell, east of Dallas, has been listed for $1.4 million by M&D Real Estate. First opened in 1997, the saloon has become known as the “Best Little Honky Tonk in Texas,” and offers enough space to host more than 300 people on any given Texas night.
“Inside is everything a Texas dance hall needs: a wood dance floor under a full production lighting rig, leather booth seating, 15 tall tops, a long stand-up bar, a dedicated pool room, and a smaller bar near the entrance,” the listing reads.
The Swingin Door’s stage has hosted the likes of Zach Top, Cody Kinks and Keith Whitley over the years, as well as countless others during live music shows on Fridays and Saturdays. In addition, the saloon hosted karaoke three nights a week and had a 15-year Wednesday-night APA Pool League, according to the listing. The pool tables, walk-in cooler, refrigeration, three registers, neon signage, jukebox, and security cameras will be sold with the property as “everything will go.”…
