Parking:
You think it’s hard getting a table? It’s even harder to get a parking spot. There’s space to park in the streets behind Stanley’s and on the gravel by the train tracks. There are other spots to park nearby that are generally acceptable and you won’t get towed - but please be respectful of all of our neighbors. Please don’t leave valuables in your car and lock it up when you leave. Obviously. Rideshare if you want to avoid this. Uber and Lyft are available in Tyler.
Ticket Details:
All shows and tickets at Stanley’s are General Admission, standing room. Limited seating is on a first come/first served basis, and may consist of only a chair or stool. Tables and seats may have restricted line of sight due to a standing crowd. But being a part of that standing crowd is part of what makes a show at Stanley’s so intimate. Don’t be afraid to get up there close to the stage. You’ll never forget it!
Doors (Admission): 7 pm
Doors time simply means what time we start scanning tickets and charging admission at the door if there are any tickets left.
Showtimes:
7:15 pm - Support
8:30 pm - Headliner
Getting here early: Do’s and Don’ts
We encourage and welcome you to eat dinner with us before a show and we hope you will! We also understand that it’s great to have a table as “home base” during a show. But on nights with a big artist, there just aren’t enough to go around. We ask that you please not show up unreasonably early for a table as we are still operating as a restaurant up until doors time, which means some people just want to sit and eat before the show. They may not even know there is a show - they just want some of that award winning barbecue and will leave after they eat. So please be courteous to those that are just trying to grab some food. There’s often a nice turn over of tables around doors time. We encourage you to try and snag a spot then if you’re not joining us for dinner.
Dinner after Doors:
On busy show nights it gets really hard to track folks down to run food out. So, generally at doors or shortly thereafter, all food orders will be “To-Go” orders and you’ll need to pick your food up at the counter before you enjoy it on the patio or in the bar.
At the bar and Minors:
All patrons must be 21 years or older to drink alcoholic beverages and we will check ID’s, so be sure you bring yours. You will be asked to present your ID at the door and again at the bar! Multiple bartenders serving, be prepared to be asked more than once.
Under 21? While under aged patrons are welcome to see live music at Stanley’s, they are not allowed to drink. We enforce a zero tolerance policy for underage drinking. Anyone caught will be ejected, banned, and reported to the authorities and not necessarily in that order.
Bathrooms:
There are two single bathrooms in the bar area. There are more bathrooms located downstairs in the lobby area near the service counter in the BBQ joint. It’s worth the walk, but please don’t take your drinks out the front door of the bar to get there. Please head down the stairs to the left of the stage to access the lobby bathrooms.
Artist Merchandise:
All merchandise sales are 100% artist’s revenue. We don’t take a cut like some venues. Support these bands by buying their merch! Artist merch tables will generally be in front of the famous 6-eyed cow.
The Rules:
Stanley’s mantra is “Be Kind! Have Fun!” Please be respectful of all other patrons and staff so that we can all have a fun and safe time. Rowdy fans will kindly be asked to leave. Luckily, that barely ever happens. Let’s keep it that way. Thanks for coming and supporting live music!
