Stoney's North Forty

Was here for Coffey Anderson concert. It was a birthday present from my kids. We met a few times in the past, and he remembered me and had me come on stage and everyone sand "happy birthday."

I just witnessed the bull riding contest and I am traumatized. Although riders sign a wavier please rethink about the safety of the customers. The mechanical bull is surrounded by bar seating with metal bars and a glass window. Please consider redesigning the mechanical bull to meet safety requirements for future riders.

I really want to like this place, but the DJ ruins the vibe. Wayyy too much line dancing. If the only people on the dance floor are the employees change it up with MORE two step!! The long runs of line dance after line dance were chasing the customers out. We learned quickly that once the line dancing started we would be waiting at least 4-6 songs before they play another song we could two step to. If you’re concrete on playing line dancing at least play a two step song every other song. Fire your DJ and for gods sake learn to read your audience.

When I tell you this is the most fun I've had in so long in this city. I love country music and this was my first time here. My daughter thought she was going to be uncomfortable because she's not a big country music fan, but when I tell you we had SO MUCH fun. We didn't feel uncomfortable, not one time. We felt very welcomed. I'm about to check these classes out cause that was dope watching them doing them line dances.

First off they frisk you from head to toe, they don't serve any type of food. You have to go to the bar for drinks which can cause you to lose your seat. They have multiple tvs but just show advertising. For the price of the drinks you are better off at Fremont.

Music is so loud on the outside patio. It keeps us up at night, why the heck would you have pound music outside when that’s where people go to get away from the loud music and talk, for the love of god turn down the patio music. Please. Sincerely the whole neighborhood you are next too.

Enjoyed this venue! Showed up on a Wednesday night and discovered this is ladies night and well drinks are $2 for ladies! Great deal. Sierra was a great bartender. I never waited long for a drink and she gave great service with a beautiful smile. I just moved to the area and will definitely return for future visits.

Not enough tables to accommodate couples! Dance floor is too small!! Devoted too much too line dance !! Music not so much country but more like hip’hop!! CW should include 2& 3 step dance , waltz & of course SLOW dance with your special partner!! Dance lessons should be confined to happy hour R a 2hour period before the lights go down ( those that know how to dance R don’t particularly like line dance have sit out much of the time !! The club I attended in Dallas had a great idea!! They had tables to the Right of floor for couples only & left side for singles 👍

Having experienced all iterations of local honky tonks since Gilley's at New Frontier (1999-2007), the country dancing culture at the current Stoney's North Forty is a break from the two-step tradition. Now that the smoke has cleared since it opened one year ago--in fall 2023--the winner is Generation Z. This club now caters almost exclusively to this crowd, which has created its own brand of country dancing where two-step has been eliminated. To be more specific: partner dancing that moves progressively around the perimeter of the dance floor in a counterclockwise direction. Instead, they only do line dancing and country swing, with a DJ who is happy to oblige. Two dance lessons are offered each night, at 7:30 and 8:30 p.m., from Tuesday through Saturday. The schedule is available on the website for a full month out. All are line dance lessons, except for the second lesson on Tuesdays, which is partner dancing. Currently, all of these partner dancing lessons are for country swing. None are for two-step or cowboy cha-cha, which have long been staples of country dancing in Las Vegas--and across the country. So, the business has doubled-down on the exclusive preference of its Gen Z crowd for line dancing and country swing. The absence of progressive partner dancing at North Forty is an anomaly among the honky tonks in town, where two-step and cowboy cha-cha are still alive. While the origins of country two-step trace back to the early 1800s, it became especially popular with the 1980 movie, Urban Cowboy, which featured the original Gilley's that the one in Las Vegas is named after. That tradition has been lost on the Gen Z target demographic of North Forty. Progressive country dances (i.e., two-step, triple two-step, cowboy cha-cha) are not on their radar--there is almost no concept of it in their world. In conventional country nightlife, the DJ announces when a round of two-step dances is coming up next, or what the next line dance is. At North Forty, a song with a two-step rhythm is played occasionally, but the DJ doesn't announce it as such. Instead, the Gen Z crowd dances country swing to it, leaving no room on the perimeter for anyone who might want to two-step. This is the culture that has been created here, which has displaced nearly 100% of folks from preceding generations in country dancing, who used to come here. Now that North Forty is one-year-old, time will tell how long it can hold on to this Gen Z business model with its one-track mind for line dancing and country swing. How transferrable is this limited skillset to other honky tonks? What happens if any of these kids travel to a honky tonk--in the real world--where country swing and line dancing aren't the only styles? Will they be puzzled every time the DJ announces a set of two-step songs and the patrons dance accordingly, or will they put their blinders on and dance country swing in the middle of the dance floor--like a bull in a china shop? It will also be interesting to see how this Gen Z business model will hold up during a recession, given such a narrow customer demographic. To be optimistic, maybe this Gen Z anomaly will one day discover the progressive country partner dancing (two-step, cowboy cha-cha) of their predecessors and add it to their repertoire. As it stands, folks from preceding generations are more versatile than them, because we can do all of it: two-step and cowboy cha-cha, in addition to country swing and line dancing. In closing, I'll mention two more pet peeves which are always in my reviews for this place. Both locations of Stoney's have no local craft beers. For example, no Atomic Duck IPA or Zombie Duck Hunter IPA, which are local favorites. None from Big Dog's Draft House, which is just down the street from North Forty. They do offer two bottled craft beers. Shiner Bock is mediocre, but 805 is stellar. Currently, the price is $10 each. There is a steady stream of one-star (competitor) and five-star (shill) Yelp reviews for this business that are obviously fake (and not caught by the automated Yelp filter). A telltale sign of this phenomenon is when the average rating for a listing is approximately three, which is the number you get by taking the average of one and five.

Long live country music and long live Stoneys North 40! My girl friend and I trekked up to this venue, located through the Santa Fe casino, because the Burn foundation was hosting an event featuring the up and coming, amazing country artist Coffey Anderson!! Coffey put on a fantastic show and he couldn't have done it without the support of the staff at Stoneys, they were nothing short of amazing! The sound was on point and they did a fantastic job hosting this event! I don't know about the libations or food because I didn't partake (long drive home) and an early dinner pre-show. If you're looking for a place to let your hair down, catch some fun, dance, enjoy live music and connect with friends, you can't go wrong with Stoney's North 40.

Stopped by Stoneys North Forty on a Sunday evening, it was dead. No cover charge which was nice. That staff was hit or miss whether they were nice or not but I don't have high expectations for bars like this. The decor was so nice, they had some comfy couches, high bar tops with great lighting. I love the size of the dance floor, seems about the same size as the original Stoneys. They had great country music playing! The outside patio was great, several games you can play (see pictures) can't wait to visit again on a busy summer night!

I'm torn on this place! It looks fun, great drink selection, the layout is cool but there's a few gripes I have with this spot..... No bathrooms - you have to leave the place and use the restroom in the casino. And secondly - NO WATER - I asked for water and the bartender said sure only bottled. I said no I'm fine with tap water and she said they aren't allowed to serve tap water! I just spent money on several rounds of drinks and you can't give me water? Where's the health dept - isn't this against the law?

It's okay, we have fun here but $10 cover and $8 Coors just doesn't sit right and before anyone barks up my tree about "it's vegas" I've lived here for 24 years I'm well aware and there are cheaper clubs downtown.

Had a great time and the service was great! We go there every Thursday night for ladies night now.

North 40 was a great environment. Had a couple issues paying the tab, but after further communication with the host everything I figured out and continue to have a great time.

It was our first visit. Around 1030. So we missed the real country music experience. The dj played a lot of non-country music that the crowd line danced to. Next time we will have to come earlier.

I'm born in raised in Texas and I've lived in Vegas for the last 6 years. I've been beyond depressed and sad about being away from home and family. I went to Stoneys for the first time tonight and my husband made me feel like the best princess. Unfortunately, security said my husband can't whistle while I dance and security kicked my husband and friends out for being disruptive? I've never cried harder. I finally had an ounce of encouragement and it got taken away. Honestly words can't describe my pain and embarrassment. I never want to step into that establishment ever again.

We went once on a Friday night at 11pm and it was packed with a younger under 30 crowd. We really like the outdoor seating this location has compared to the Town Square location since we don't dance. At the other stoneys, good luck getting a seat if you don't reserve a table. This location you can always find a table! We went again on a Friday at 8:30 and it was a lot less busy with a crowd of 40+. We didn't mind! Cover is $5 a person. We love coming here to hang out with friends!

Decided to check out the new location on Wednesday and it was packed! Aside from it being packed the bartenders killed it super friendly and quick!! Dj was awesome!! Decided to come back tonight and did not disappoint. Dj played different songs not sure if it was the same one or not but similar bartenders and she remembered us from Wednesday as well as our drink order which I was super impressed by being she probably served well over 100 people that night. Forgot her name but she was closest to the exit doors. Family had a great time, great for all ages and will be back!!

We are always looking for a good place for a happy hour. Bar food and a couple of drinks. The Santa Fe put up a big sign about stoney's happy hour, so we thought we'd give it a try. Looked at their menu online and it looked pretty good. Showed up, they wanted to charge us a cover charge, and the guy at the door said they didn't even serve food. What a bunch of crap. Ended up going to Ole Red. Great food no cover charge.

The dj never plays country music unless it's a two step and when he does do an actual line dance that's a country song he speeds it up so everyone is off and no one can keep up. The drinks are overpriced. Only star is for the service.

This is an absolutely awesome venue, but they blow their foot off by not having a Country band in this incredible Country themed venue. If I want to hear Bruno Mars, I'll go to the strip. #Fail

as a die-hard country fan i'm so glad we finally have a Stoney's in the Centennial area!! it's hard living far away from any exciting bars especially with dancing & games!! $5 cover during happy hour till 7pm with $4 wells, wine & busch drafts & $2 for the ladies on Wednesday's, why would i want to pregame anywhere else?? it seems no one posting reviews on here actually follows the stoneysnorthforty instagram for updates LOL! there's also a free drink on the house for first responders, military, teachers & nurses on Thursdays! (my sweet friend they took a picture of here!!)

Ya know, other than security, I actually love this place. Bartenders Brandy and Silvara are fuckin great. Good vibes all around and no drama. But it's kinda sketchy when you literally haven't had any run ins with security but when you go to one of your favorite spots to have a few cold ones and told you have a 60 day ban, that's a little weird. But I know apparently one of the main security guards is in fact friends with this guy I have issues with and had a small encounter a couple weeks ago. Nothing serious nor physical. Didn't even talk to security. But because of them having a friendship, I received a ban. Bad security drops a 5 star to a 3.

Not as much fun as the Stoney's location in Town Square. Just not as many people yet. Looking forward to seeing this location grow.

Joe the bartender is super, besides being totally cool, during the night she hops up on the bar and dances. Love the drink happy hour prices. We go early for social time with friends, then enjoy the dance lessons. Like that the dj mixes up the music too! Inside and outside atmosphere is great there. Plenty of room so you don't feel squished in there. They also have plenty of games for everyone to enjoy. Total bonus the location being inside the Santa Fe hotel and casino.

NO BATHROOMS in the place. You have to walk through the Santa Fe Casino to find one. Guys will get patted down EVERY time you come back in. NO FOOD except if you order by scanning the QR code on the table from an Italian place. You can bring food in from the Santa Fe Food Court. Drinks cannot leave or come in to the Bar, even though it's in the Casino. (they have separate liquor licenses from the casino). Outdoor area was ok, shuffle board inside is free, pool tables wouldn't take dollar bills and an employee said we could get quarters in the casino (and then get patted down again when re-entering). Music and dancing was good. Overall atmosphere was good.

Cute layout. Good band. Somebody complained about being patted down in a review, probably had a weapon. Somebody complained about no bathrooms. Well, welcome to Casinos. Place was great. Minimal douches.

Szoie is the best! She what spot one with everything we asked for and made sure we were taken care of!!! Love you!

Stoney's North Forty is the greatest thing since sliced bread!! Everything here hits home like mommas cooking after church on a Sunday! From the exceptional service to the friendly face, you just can't go wrong with this place. The DJ and line dance teacher, Manda Ryan has the most amazing songs that creates the most perfect atmosphere I have been apart of! She is always down to play any recommendation you request and always mixes up the slow and fast songs perfectly! Manda is truly a special DJ that never disappoints. If you are a local or a just a traveling visitor I highly recommend rolling through Stoney's to see what all the noise is about.

Very fun place and full of nice people. The DJ's Amanda and Montana do a very good job at keeping the energy fun. I love going to the lessons Whitney and Amanda break it down very well and make it easy to learn.

We have a group that meets for happy hour once a month, with 3 to 15 people in attendance. We're been interested in Stoney's North Forty since it opened. A mechanical bull, live music, food , drink and a happy hour from 4 to 7 . My hubs and I decided to check it out today, arriving at approximately 4:15. NO ONE WAS THERE. The bouncer?/ doorman at the front checked our ID from the code on our drivers license. " Why are you scanning the code? "We asked. " To be able to keep out trespassers " he answered. " Do you get many trespassers in a bar ?" " We need to know when there is trouble". He responded. D and U hubs, ( decorative and useful) has worked in law enforcement and the gaming commission , was not pleased with such a thoughtless answer. Guy didn't know what he was talking about. But in we go. Chatted with the bartender re: when does the bar liven up? Answer, closer to 6. Dancing lessons at 7:30 and 8:30. Persistent as I am, I asked for the happy hour menu. There was not one! Only three draft beers were available on a happy hour price. No food! We thanked the lovely young girl with a smile and a goodbye and exited stage right. Again a smile and goodbye to bouncer/ doorman. Stoney's will probably be a fun time after nine o'clock. They should stop advertising a happy hour. There is none

We were excited to finally check it out. It was dead but it was only 6pm on a Friday so maybe it gets busy later. We grabbed a seat and waited 10 minutes. Finally we walked up to the bar where female server and male bar back were talking. I had to say excuse me to get their attention. I asked if we had to order food and drinks at bar. The female server with long Blake curly hair turned her head, no greeting, no smile, and said "well we don't have food here and I'm the only one here so yea you have to order at the bar" and started taking again. I walked away, grabbed my friends and we walked out. Management definitely needs to work on training engaged employees in the hospitality industry with so many places to choose from. Extremely disappointed and awful first impression.

Horrible selection of beers both domestic and foreign. The DJ is on a power trip. If you go to the OG Stoney's, expect the vibe to be 10+years older

trash venue boring as fuck literally everytime idk why I continue to go the ori Stoneys has this place beat 10 fold and then some

The night manager on Saturdays, she's rude AF. My wife and I finally got a night out so we wanted to check out the new "LOCAL" place. My dad met us. So we go check it out, and it's a $15 dollar cover! Boom not even in the door yet and damn near spent $50. We ask is there a drink included? Trying to make it worth our while. Me and my wife don't get out much and we aren't trying to break the bank just to get in somewhere. That's why we tried to stay close to home. Local spots. Anyways the manager comes out and is like is there a problem? We go yeah it's a local place and your charging us $15 a head just to get in! The place is brand new! It's dead btw. She goes "if you don't like it you can go somewhere else but you guys will be back." Just a total B about the whole situation. Not a LOCAL PLACE. Totally could've been like you know what yeah here's 3 free drinks. And we would've easily spent another $100 inside. Instead we went to the CHROME SHOWROOM FOR FREE. And saw yellow brink road. This place will not last.
