This is one of the oldest Dancehalls in Texas and has just recently been re-opened! They always have good bands and LOTS of two-steppin' fun!! We'll meet here for dinner and dance the night away!

THE HISTORY OF COUPLAND

In 1887 Civil War Major and former Travis County sheriff, Theodore Van Buren Coupland, founded a small town on inherited land.

THE OLD COUPLAND INN AND DANCEHALL

This building, built in 1904 began as the Coupland Drug Company in 1911. It was also called Albers Drug Store in 1948. Three doctors practiced medicine and used a handpowered x-ray machine. The Coupland Tavern, built in 1910, was formerly a hardware store, where pun-offs were held there quarterly. It also housed a newspaper called the Coupland World Globe News.

A bar/bar-back from the Old Tavern that was formerly in the Old Schlunberg Hotel is over 100 years old. It was bought and moved to the now Coupland Dancehall by the Worthy’s. It has bullet holes in the bar. The other bar/bar-back came out of a River Boat on the Mississippi River and the Worthy’s moved it from Louisiana to Coupland.
