Where each level sits

What a Weekend Night Looks Like

Friday and Saturday, the restaurant turns into the best dance floor in McCurtain County.

  1. 8:00 PMWe seat our last dinner tables. Not a hard cutoff — just when it usually happens.
  2. 9:00 PMThe restaurant closes sharp. Security filters the crowd and checks credentials — if you don't have a show ticket yet, you'll need one to stay in the building.
  3. 9:30 PMTables and chairs move out of the way and the dance floor opens.
  4. 10:00 PMLive music kicks off. If there's no band that night, our DJ starts spinning.
  5. 1:30 AMLast call.
  6. 2:00 AMOur double swinging doors lock up tight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tickets are available at the door on show nights from 7–10pm. You can also buy in advance: every show's Get Tickets button takes you to wherever that show's tickets are sold. Buying ahead is the surest way to know you're getting in, since shows can sell out before the night.

We DO NOT TOLERATE underage consumption of alcohol at the Hochatown Saloon. Guests under 21 must purchase a special Under-21 Ticket and be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Under 21 is not allowed after shows — you will be asked to leave once the show ends. If no Under-21 Tickets are available for purchase, the event is 21+ only.

A QR code, scanned at the door. It's in the confirmation email from whoever sold you the ticket — Prekindle, the show's promoter, or us. Show it on your phone, or print the email and bring it; both scan the same. We don't mail tickets and there's nothing to collect at the venue. Bought here on our site? Your email also links to your live ticket, where every ticket in the order gets its own code, so a group can split up and each person walks in on their own phone. Groups of 15 or more who want to skip the door should contact us in advance.

Our events happen rain or shine, and every ticket takes a spot someone else could have had, so tickets are non-refundable. The rest depends on where you bought yours. Bought here on our site? You can add the Refundable Ticket option at checkout, which lets you cancel for any reason, no questions asked — and if we cancel a show and don't reschedule it, you get everything back automatically, without having to ask. The full terms are on our Ticket Terms page, and there's a refund request form on the site. Bought through Prekindle or a promoter's ticket page? Refunds go through whoever sold you the ticket, and if a show is cancelled they refund you.

We reserve the right to remove any guest at any time for any reason we deem unacceptable. We do not condone or allow drug use on our property, including marijuana and THC-related items. Firearms, knives, and other weapons are strictly prohibited. Guest safety is one of our highest priorities.

Our events team can get your group in without waiting at the door. Available Monday–Friday, 10am–6pm.
