The Round-Up Saloon is known as "The Home of Good Times and Good People" and has been for many years. It is one of the best country western dance halls in the nation. There are some rumors that this location served as a significant bookmaking operation and was the home of the famed "Old Warsaw Restaurant." Some say that Mrs. Slavick's ghost still haunts the Saloon and loves C&W music. But if you want to know more about these stories, ask your favorite bartender. There are two-stepping and western swing dance lessons every week, along with karaoke, trivia, and drag shows. If you're interested in learning dance, the Round-Up has free dance lessons every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights.
