As some businesses in Fort\u00a0Worth’s historic Stockyards struggle<\/a>, one of the district’s beloved dancehalls has hosted its last shindig.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last week, longtime Stockyards bar Madame Pearl’s Dancehall & Saloon announced it would close its doors. The bar announced the news in a video with area Instagram page StockyardsReport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I’ve got some bad news to share. This weekend is going to be Madam Pearl’s Dancehall & Saloon’s last weekend here in the Stockyards. ” StockyardsReport host Tristan Dobbs<\/a> said. “Madam Pearl’s was the first place to ever put me under contract, [owners] Jen and Rick were the first people to believe in me, so it’s a bummer to see them go, but bars come and go in the Stockyards, it just is what it is.”<\/p>\n

July 4 was Madam Pearl’s last weekend, and the dancehall hosted one last open mic that Sunday<\/a>. According to Madam Pearl’s, the venue opened in May 2022 at 302 W Exchange Ave<\/a>. Tributes flooded Madam Pearl’s Facebook page<\/a> after they announced their sudden closure. Madam Pearl’s gave no reason for the closure and did not respond to Chron’s request for comment by publication time.<\/p>\n

“I’m so sad to hear this. We loved coming there and dancing. We will definitely miss y’all,” one commenter wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Karissa Ring, a former bartender and Fort Worth realtor, posted an emotional tribute to the venue days before its closure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This is a huge blow to West Exchange,” she said.<\/a><\/p>\n

Madam Pearl’s was known for its regular open mics and live music and regularly hosted country acts big and small nearly every weekend, according to its Facebook page<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The closure comes amid several business closures in the area. On June 30, Mexican restaurant La Playa Maya said it would close its Stockyards location<\/a>, though the company said it would keep other North Texas locations open. Biscuit Bar, a biscuit restaurant with locations throughout the Fort Worth area, also shuttered its Stockyards location after the business shut down<\/a> entirely.<\/p>\n

Madam Pearl’s closure also comes after one of Texas’ more prominent\u00a0dancehalls, Coupland, was saved from closing last fall.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
