The Cabaret Dance Hall in Bandera, Texas was a longstanding focal point for social life in Bandera. The Cabaret opened in 1936 and was a venue for live music and dancing. It was open for many years and hosted a variety of musical performers, both local and nationally known.

Some of the artists that performed there include Ray Wylie Hubbard, Two Tons of Steel, Kinky Friedman, Kevin Fowler, Willie Nelson, Bob Wills, Ernest Tubb, Hank Williams and more.

The Cabaret changed owners over the years, eventually closing for good in the twenty teens. It was supposed to be 'remodeled', but what actually happened was the building was torn down, leaving the metal roof as the only remnant of its former glory. Eventually even that was removed, effectively erasing a Texas legend. Many locals were shocked and angry that this landmark was demolished against the community's wishes.

The last show there was Kevin Fowler and his band.
