Billed as a genuine Texas honky tonk, Mo’s Place is the spot to get your groove on in Katy. Put on your Texas tuxedo – jeans, cowboy boots and cowboy hat, or your bedazzled cowgirl boots, and get ready to two-step to some hot-dang, slap-yer-granny, live country music at this no-frills dance hall. Sidle up to the bar and order yourself up a cold brew, margarita or other libation to fuel the fun. Food offerings include a large selection of appetizers, plus burgers, sandwiches and nachos at extremely reasonable prices. Up and coming musicians often hit the big time after playing here, so you might just get a chance to see the next big country superstar before they hit the big arenas. Dress code and cover charge applies. See the website for a schedule of shows.
