Horseshoe Tavern, Morristown

Most days of the week, Horseshoe Tavern looks like a classic bar, albeit one that frequently hosts bands and beer pong, cornhole, and flip-cup games. Sports play across the flatscreens above the bar, here, and patrons dig into flatbreads, burgers, and 20-ounce giant pretzels accompanied by mustard and cheese sauce.

On Wednesday nights, however, Horseshoe transforms into a honky-tonk, and suddenly, all of the Western decor starts to make sense. Country-music lovers flock to the bar on Country Night to boot, scoot, and boogie to DJ-spun country hits. And brave souls hop on the mechanical bull, gripping it for dear life to avoid flying off onto the inflated ring below. To fuel the revelry, Jim Beam is on special all night.
