A few tips for trivia night:
Every Friday at 8:00 PM, Hendo's brings in local and regional artists for live sets. It's the easiest way to turn dinner into a full night out: come in for a steak or a smash burger, order a round of signature cocktails, and stay for the band.
If you want a table for your group, reserve ahead through OpenTable or call us at (951) 383-1706.
On the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month, from 5:30 to 7:00 PM, instructor Nita DancinFun leads line dancing at Hendo's. You'll learn the steps as you go, and the early start means you're done in time for dinner.
It's a fun midweek plan for friend groups, date nights, and anyone who has been meaning to learn a few dances before the next wedding. Learn more about line dancing nights in Temecula.
Hendo's Barrel House is owned by Dan Henderson, the former MMA champion, so combat sports are part of who we are. Hendo's Fight Night is our own live combat sports event, with a youth card in the afternoon and an adult card in the evening.
Fight Night dates are announced on our events calendar. For UFC events, boxing, and other big fights on our screens, check our live sports schedule.
| If You Want... | Go On... | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| A competitive night with friends | Trivia Tuesday | Arrive before 6 PM to settle in |
| Dinner and a show | Live Music Friday | Reserve ahead for groups |
| Something active and social | Line Dancing Wednesday | Wear comfortable shoes |
| A big-event atmosphere | Fight Night | Check the events calendar for dates |
| Cheaper drinks before the fun starts | Weekday Happy Hour | $5 drafts and $8 barrel cocktails, 2 to 6 PM |
Trivia and line dancing both start right around the end of happy hour. Come in early for happy hour specials like $5 draft beers, $6 house wine, and $8 barrel cocktails, then stay for the event.
Hendo's isn't the only place in town with something on the calendar. If you're mapping out a full week, here are a few other local options worth knowing, based on what each venue lists on its own website. Schedules change, so confirm with the venue before you go.
| Venue | Area | What They List | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temecula Sports Lounge | Jefferson Avenue | Sunday open mic jam session with a guest DJ (4 to 10 PM), Thursday singles party, First Friday house music, Saturday Urban Cowboy night with free line dance lessons from 8 to 9 PM | Late-night DJs and dancing |
| The Gambling Cowboy | Old Town Temecula | Live music at their chophouse and saloon | An upscale dinner in Old Town |
| Uncle Bob's | Temecula Parkway | Wednesday bingo at 6 PM (all ages, with prizes), Sunday family night with board games | Family-friendly game nights |
Temecula Sports Lounge runs later than most, with DJ nights going until 2 AM on Fridays and Saturdays. It's a good pick if you want to keep dancing after dinner.
The Gambling Cowboy pairs live music with a chophouse menu in Old Town, which makes it a dressier choice for a date night.
Uncle Bob's leans family-friendly, with bingo and board game nights instead of bands or trivia.
What makes Hendo’s different is the mix. None of the venues above list a regular trivia night, and Hendo's offers trivia, live music, line dancing, and fight nights under one roof, alongside steakhouse-quality food and weekday happy hour.

Plenty of Temecula bars book a band now and then. Hendo's runs a steady calendar that gives you something to do most weeks: trivia, line dancing, live music, and fight nights. You also get steakhouse-quality food in a casual gastropub setting, a full craft cocktail and beer program, and screens for every big game. It all comes from an owner who built his career on showing up and competing, and that spirit carries into every event we host.
Pick your night, grab your crew, and come see what's on. Browse the full menu, check the events calendar for this month's performers and dates, and reserve a table on OpenTable for Friday nights and big groups. Sign up for our newsletter and follow us on social media to hear about new events first.
