Wild Country

Wild Country is OK most of the time.  Some nights it is really dead, and some nights it is the place to be.  They have country concerts there, and it is always packed for those.  I love attending the concerts, but for the rest of the time I would go to Starlite Station in killeen.

We came on a Saturday night during a bar hop and were promptly charged $5 for cover.  I don't believe in having to buy the right to spend my money at the bar, especially for a club in a town like Killeen, but what can you do when there aren't many choices around?

The atmosphere's what you would expect for a country-themed bar/club, and I had fun with my friends.  I like that you can smoke here, and the bartenders are fairly on-game, especially if you tip.  (I noticed that most of the crowd here doesn't tip, so when you slip a few ones for your drinks, you get served right away the next time you go for another round.)  The dance floor is always entertaining, as drunk dancers fly into each other.  Just make sure you have moderately heeled shoes; you'll need them to walk over the puddles of piss men leave on the bathroom floor.

The only gripe I have is you get decidedly un-friendly looks from some of the rodeo clowns in the crowd (Who are you kidding, most of these posers never saddled a horse in their lives.)--this stare-down contest will be especially pertinent if you're male and of an ethnicity other than Caucasian.  Fortunately, most of the crowd is indifferent, and a lot of folks are real social.

First off, I am going to announce that I hate country music. If I liked it, I might be able to justify more stars.

Second...it's a bar. People smoke in bars...if you don't like it, drink at home, or move to California or New York.

The staff here is really nice. The drinks aren't bad, and don't seem too overpriced. Also....watching the people dance is truly hilarious. Seriously...if I ever need a laugh....I know where to go. I know it's gross, but I almost pissed myself just from laughing so hard.

My biggest and only real problem with the place is that the bathrooms are pretty icky. I know it's a bar, and bars have gross bathrooms...but this place is huge and should really put some more effort into keeping shit cleaner.
