Gilley’s is a goner. Once it was the most famous of honky-tonks, a vast 70,000-square-foot beer joint on a gone-to-seed street lined with used car lots and pawnshops. John Travolta made the mechanical bulls here all the rage after he rode them in the movie “Urban Cowboy.”
How many acres is Gilley's?
There have been recent reports that the beloved and iconic honky-tonk dance hall will return to the Houston area. Gilley’s will be part of a 16-acre entertainment center construction in League City, just 17 miles south of its original location.
How big is Gilley's Club?
With Gilley’s indoor rodeo arena as an added attraction, the 48,000 square feet (4,500 m2) club hosted a packed house of thousands every night. The space fielded oversized bars and dance floors to accommodate crowds, and the club was so big that visitors could not see from one end of the building to the other.
