The Golden Stallion, San Antonio, TX

Also known as The Golden Stallion Dance Hall. Back in Kirby's early days, "The Golden Stallion Dance Hall," was the town's hot spot. If you were a local looking for a good time, more than likely you'd end up visiting this dance hall which was located just outside of the Kirby city limits. Today, San Antonio Auto Auction operates on what used to be the local family dance hall. The city's present mayor spoke to me about his experience at the dance hall. It was a time where families went together, ate good American food, and danced to music played by a real live band. The hall is where the very first Kirby's Founders Day Celebration was held. The nationally known western hot spot opened its doors for private and public parties in 1967. The business was sold in 1983. In its time, it is said to have hosted numerous top selling country artist's shows, as well as many trail riders during rodeo time.
