White Elephant Saloon, Western saloon in Fort Worth Stockyards, United States.
The White Elephant Saloon is a bar in the Fort Worth Stockyards featuring traditional wooden furnishings, pool tables, and a large dance floor. The interior displays cowboy memorabilia throughout, creating an authentic Western atmosphere.
The establishment was founded in 1884 by gambler Luke Short and experienced a notable shooting conflict in 1887 between Short and city marshal Jim Courtright. This incident shaped the venue's reputation in local history.
The saloon serves as a gathering place where people come together to enjoy country music and dance with others. Visitors experience the local tradition of line dancing and feel the energy created by live performances throughout the week.
The venue is located on Exchange Avenue in the Stockyards area and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors should know that daytime hours are quieter, while the full energy builds in the evenings and late into the night.
The ceiling and walls are decorated with cowboy hats left behind by rodeo champions, musicians, and historical figures who visited over the decades. This collection silently tells the stories of all the people who gathered here.
