Branson's hottest night spot has now been in business one year. Wranglers Honky Tonk, one year after opening, is busier than ever.
Managed by Tonya Newman, with help from one of Branson's most well-known musical families—Melody Hart, Wayne Massengale and sons Garrett and Dillon—Wranglers Honky Tonk offers something for everyone.
Wranglers celebrated their one-year anniversary with special guests, specials on food, and drink specials all night. But the fun didn't stop there. The management and staff of Wranglers don't need an occasion to have a good time—there is always something fun to do at Wranglers.
"We have line dance lessons every Wednesday from 6:30 to 7:30," explained Melody Hart. "Live music starts at 7:30. Thursdays, we have the Jukebox Winos from 5 to 7, then we start on stage at 7 p.m. Fridays we have Mel and Kim Barber from 5 to 7, then our band on stage at 7 pm. Happy hour is from 5 to 7. Saturday, the live band starts at 7:30 and happy hour is from 5 to 7. We have a music dance mix from 11 to 1 on weekends."
The band that Hart refers to is Melody Hart and the All Star Band, featuring Hart and her family and some special friends.
"My husband Wayne Massengale on fiddle, our son Dillon Massengale is the bass player and featured vocalist, and son Garrett Massengale is our drummer and featured vocalist," Hart explained. "We have Dino Strunk on guitar and Robby Springfield on steel. We play a variety of mix with our songs. We take requests and try to play what they like to dance to."
In addition to great music, Wranglers Honky Tonk is also known for delicious food, prepared by Dowd's Restaurant of Lebanon, Missouri. Wranglers specializes in catfish, steaks, shrimp and burgers. A well-stocked bar offers a variety of beer, specialty drinks and more.
Wranglers often hosts special events.
"We have the Heart of Texas Show this Friday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.," explained Hart. "The 26th we have Jason Pritchett doing a concert and that night, we still have only the $5 cover charge. We have plans to be open on Thanksgiving and are taking reservations for the New Year's extravaganza."
The Heart of Texas Road Show Hart spoke of features Barbara Fairchild, Roy Morris, Tony Booth, Mary Lou Turner, Travis Scott and the Playboys. The Road Show is hosted by Tracy Pitcox of Brady, Texas, a well-known radio personality, tour guide and founder of Heart of Texas Country.
Another special event is set for October 29, when the Hopeful Hilarity Comedy Show takes the stage at 7 p.m., featuring several talented comedians.
Located at 625 State Highway 165, Wranglers is open Wednesday through Saturday, beginning at 5 p.m. Theirs is one of the few night spots open late, after the Branson shows end.
