Temecula Stampede

"I literally never leave reviews and if you go on my profile this will probably be the only review. I came to this bar because a friend recommended it because she works at a sister bar. But the bartender and the manager are both racist. When I asked for a second shot they came up with a rule that shots are only allowed to be served 20 minutes apart. I had just ordered a bunch of food for the table and only asked for a shot for my friend. I Ubered to Temecula so I could drink not for someone to limit my alcohol, when I was okay. The white people at the bar were way more intoxicates than me and were still ordering shots and drinks at the same bar. In case you need reference, I’m typing this while I’m at the bar right now."

"I find the Stampede to be fun and time flies when I am there. I have ZERO experience with line dancing but I have participated in the "lessons" when they walk you through. I've read some of the other reviews about charging for water but we had no issues. When we asked for a glass of water, it is free. If you want bottled water then you will have to pay... Seems reasonable. My last visit there, I brought my cousin - who is HUGE into country line dancing and she said she had never heard the genre of music that the Stampede plays - she wanted to dance but did not know any of the songs until they played a "country song". So I guess I would have to agree with the other reviews that commented about the music... It is not typical "country line dance music". If you are a local and go there often, you will learn the dances that are taught for their music - if you are not local and visiting from out of the area and want to line dance to country music, you will only have a chance about one in ten songs...."

"This used to be a happening place back in the day. Disappointed to find it filled with teenagers and instagram influencers creating content minus country music. Talking to some of the regulars, they said the new owners have taken it another direction. I think that’s great but they may want to change the name. The wine choices are terrible which is shocking given all of the local wineries are located down the street. One star is generous"

"The Temecula Stampede is the ultimate destination for anyone seeking an authentic country western experience. It's not just a venue; it's the heart of country dancing, exciting concerts, and all-around fun in Temecula. With its mechanical bull, multiple expansive bars, a variety of games and pool tables, and the largest dance floor I've encountered in California, it's a place of non-stop entertainment. Additionally, the Stampede plays a pivotal role in the local music scene, hosting the annual Old Town Music Festival, featuring nationally acclaimed artists. This event alone is a testament to the vibrant atmosphere and quality entertainment they provide. For those planning a visit, I highly recommend checking their website to stay updated on the array of weekend concerts and events. The energy and ambiance at the Stampede are simply electrifying. Plus, their country-themed shop is a gem, offering the perfect attire for your weekend adventures, be it a stylish dress or a classic cowboy hat. Moreover, what truly sets the Temecula Stampede apart is its welcoming atmosphere to people of all races and backgrounds. As a Latina, I felt immediately embraced by the inclusive and friendly environment—and I brought my Lebanese and German friends! The staff and fellow patrons make it a point to ensure everyone, regardless of their heritage, feels at home. This level of inclusivity enhances the overall experience, making it a place where diversity is celebrated and everyone can enjoy the spirit of country western culture together. Whether you're there to dance, enjoy the music, or just soak in the ambiance, the Temecula Stampede is a shining example of community and unity in diversity. ¡Vamos a Bailar!! Whether you're a local or just passing through Temecula, the Temecula Stampede is a must-visit for a memorable and enjoyable experience."

"This place is extremely racist against Hispanics so if you are Hispanic or of Hispanic descent please stay clear of this place. The “manager” (girl in a grey sweater) was extremely rude and was not able to articulate why we could not go in. She was rude and could not offer a manager upon request. Would not recommend at all. 0/5 please see attached picture for the rude manager."
