The brand was acquired by a developer who opened Gilley’s in Dallas in 2003.Īnd now a little bit of that Gilley’s history has found a home in the Choctaw Casino Resort. The original Gilley’s, founded by country singer Mickey Gilley in Pasadena, Texas, burned in 1989. Think Bedlam football with OSU versus OU. With 15 high-definition LCD televisions and one eight-foot projector screen, Gilley’s promises to be a great place to watch televised sports. But two-stepping isn’t the only action going on here. That makes for great people watching - on the dance floor and off. What’s more, there’s a 500-square-foot performance stage smack in the center of the venue offering 360-degree views. Gilley’s offers a full-service restaurant and night club with 176 seats, two bars with a draught beer system offering up to eight different beers on tap, a dance floor and, of course, a mechanical bull like the one seen in the movie starring John Travolta. Playing off the movie, Gilley’s offers a 32-ounce man-sized beer called Bud and a 16-ounce beer named Sissy. One of only three Gilley’s in the United States, Gilley’s at Choctaw is in the space previously occupied by the Diamondback Lounge.

Yep, the cowboy hot spot is now open in the Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant. Gilley’s, the iconic Texas honky tonk that was featured in the 1980 movie “Urban Cowboy,” has crossed the Red River into Oklahoma. Gilley’s Brings Texas Honkey Tonk Across the Red River
