About Gruene Hall

Gruene Hall was built in 1878 by Henry D. Gruene and bills itself as the oldest continually operating dance hall in Texas. The 6,000-square-foot hall still has its high-pitched tin roof, side flaps for open-air dancing, a bar up front and a small stage in back, plus a big outdoor garden. Advertising signs from the 1930s and 1940s still hang inside. Free music plays daily alongside ticketed shows.
