Friendly people. Good drinks. Diverse crowd. Saturdays are not super busy if you're looking for a chill place to have some drinks. They do smoke inside. There's a pool table and slots.

One thing for sure Sunday at the Playground is Funday! Vibes and Atmosphere is chill. Gotta hand it to the Band! They got a cool jam set. All kinds of good music. Sweet Child of mine was on point! Got me on Dance Floor bumping and grinding even with my hip replacement I tore it up. Outdoor patio is a very nice plus.

This is a nice local bar on highway 3, they have local bands during the weekend gotta follow them on FB & social media if you want to know the schedule. But it’s a good time and a nice place if you like to dance to Tejano music and all other genres. They even at times have snack food for their customers. One of the best Mexican Candy shots around town for sure. Plus good vibes atmosphere and even got pool table and little makinitas. Jazmine is such a sweet bartender as the other girls are too.
