Mama Tried Honky Tonk

Named after the Merle Haggard song, Mama Tried is a sprawling indoor-outdoor oasis for fans of classic, Texas, bluegrass and outlaw country music. In addition to daily happy hours and events such as tailgate parties, cornhole tournaments and live band karaoke nights, the bar boasts a weekly roster of local and national country music DJs and live bands, most of which is on offer for free. And the Southern-style grub is no slouch either. Expect to chow down on the likes of everything from chicken fried steak to shrimp & grits and chile-rubbed turkey legs. Speaking of chowing down, don't sleep on the Sunday brunch.
