Yes, you read that right. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"67\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/fannation\/rodeo\/news\/reigning-prca-world-champion-bareback-rider-rocker-steiner-undergo-neck-surgery\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rocker Steiner<\/a> has opened a new bar and dancehall in Texas&#8217; famed Fort Worth Stockyards. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6c\">According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rckrroadhouse.com\/about-us\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">RCKR Roadhouse website<\/a>, the destination is a &#8220;high-octane epicenter for cold drinks, loud music, and unbridled Texas energy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RCKR Roadhouse<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6s\">With a description fitting of its high-energy and electric owner, RCKR Roadhouse has a mechanical bull, streams rodeo and other sports action, and embodies everything &#8220;cowboy bar.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6x\">While the jump from bareback rider to bar owner may seem unusual to some, business ownership is a family tradition for the Steiners. The Steiner Ranch Steakhouse in Austin, Texas, is a highly-rated fine-dining experience overlooking Lake Travis. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"72\">The Steiners may be one of the most dedicated families in rodeo, but they are also a family of savvy businessmen and businesswomen. Rocker is simply following in the footsteps of the generations before him and setting up his future beyond rodeo, as both his grandfather, Bobby, and father, Sid, have.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"77\">Known for embracing their authentic selves inside and outside of the arena, the Steiners have trademarked their own brand of what it means to be a cowboy. Although Sid and Rocker are rarely dressed in tradtional cowboy attire aside from competition, you would be hard-pressed to find harder working athletes. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7c\">Unfortunately, 2026 has been a roller coaster of emotion and unexpected challenges for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/fannation\/rodeo\/news\/reigning-world-champ-rocker-steiner-shares-recovery-starts-now-after-neck-surgery\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rocker<\/a>. After capturing his first gold buckle at the end of 2025 and riding high into 2026, he was sidelined for neck surgery in early June. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7h\">Steiner led the World Standings by a huge margin coming off the winter and spring runs, when he discovered he needed to have lingering issues surgically addressed to save his career long-term. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7m\">While the four-time National Finals Rodeo (NFR) qualifier intended to return to competition by the end of summer, he recently shared that his doctor recommended he give his spine more time to heal. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7r\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/fannation\/rodeo\/news\/world-champion-rocker-steiner-steals-show-surprise-stage-moment\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Steiner <\/a>had entered his first rodeo back, but released following his final doctor&#8217;s visit prior to competing, when he was advised not to push his recovery. He has not shared another update on when he hopes to be back in the arena. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7w\">Though fans are missing Steiner&#8217;s rides in the arena, we know no one misses it more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/fannation\/rodeo\/news\/reigning-world-champion-rocker-steiner-return-arena-after-neck-surgery-delayed\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rocker<\/a> himself. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"81\">In the meantime, everyone can swing by the RCKR Roadhouse, have a cold one, ride the mechanical bull, and catch some rodeo action streaming live at the bar. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow si.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=si.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" preventdefault:click=\"\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\" on:pointerenter=\"q-C062CtoO.js#s_1NOcOpHWmT0\" on:touchstart=\"q-DgiJr5iH.js#s_R8AiGTDeM28\" on:focus=\"q-aJXX_vKM.js#s_gxiTM6qMMu8\" on:click=\"q-BvJ-Tz3y.js#s_lDqay9E5m5g[0]\" q:id=\"87\">Follow<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The reigning World Champion Bareback Rider has entered a new chapter: publican.
