Night Life

The Brandin’ Iron is the Inland Empires longest running Honky Tonk since 1969.....The Brandin’ Iron is located in the historic 1953 Citrus Bowl building.....The brassy and classy authentic saloon interior and 3" thick huge maple dance floor has made this place literally world famous.....But it wasn't always so....After one of the original owners, Bob Hill died in 1987, the famous building and salon sat empty and forlorn until 1992, when Bill Thomas rode into town and brought the Brandin' Iron back to its glory.

We visited the BI as the current owner refers to the place several times during the 90's, generally after work of course, and just during work....I had the privilege of delivering and recording the legal documents at the recorders office when the place reopened for business in 1992....One reason i decided to go back and revisit this place...I liked what I saw and loved the smell of the Kitchen.

There are some hot hangouts scattered across the Inland Empire that offer live music, jazz, rockin' roll and soul and rap. There's something for everyone if live entertainment is what you are looking for.

There is the Vault Martini Bar & Grill in Redlands for example. Only 11/2 years old, the Bar boasts talented live bands singing jazz, punk, funk and more on Wednesday and Saturday nights.
