Saloon Dining and Live Music
in Coolidge, AZ
At Gallopin’ Goose, we believe that great food and live music belong together, just like cold beer and good company. Our Western saloon in Coolidge, Arizona, has been serving up hearty meals, cold drinks, and unforgettable nights of live entertainment since 1935. Around here, we’re not just a place to eat or grab a drink. We’re where the spirit of the Old West meets the raw edge of rock ‘n’ roll, and where every night feels like a story worth telling.
When you step into the Goose, you’re truly stepping into Arizona history. We hold the first liquor license ever issued in Pinal County after Prohibition, and we’ve been keeping that license busy for nearly nine decades. What started as a small-town honky-tonk with a rodeo ring in the back has grown into a full-fledged bar, restaurant, and music venue that still carries the grit and soul of its roots.
The Stage Where Legends Played
Our live music stage isn’t just any stage: it’s the same one where Waylon Jennings himself got his start. Long before he was a country outlaw, Jennings was a regular here, playing his raw, honky-tonk style for the Coolidge crowd. It was in this very building that he honed the sound that would redefine country music: gritty, rebellious, and unapologetically authentic.
During his Coolidge years, Jennings pulled double duty as a DJ at KCKY radio (later KDDL) while gigging at the Goose. That period led to some of his earliest recordings, including songs from his album JD’s Waylon Jennings released on BAT Records in the 1960s.
We honor that legacy every year with our Waylon Jennings Birthday Bash, a celebration of the outlaw sound and the stage that helped launch it. And we keep the live music tradition strong with shows every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and every other Sunday. From local country acts to rock bands that shake the walls, the Goose is still where Coolidge comes to listen, dance, and cut loose.
Where the West Meets the Stage
At Gallopin’ Goose, we don’t just serve food and drinks. We serve up an experience and hospitality that’s steeped in Coolidge history and Arizona pride. Our saloon dining and live music scene also brings people together the way it’s always been done: with good food, cold drinks, and a sound that stirs the soul. So whether you’re here for a night of rock ‘n’ roll, a round of karaoke, or just a bite of the best burger in town, you’ll find yourself right at home.
Come grab a seat, order a Goose Burger, and stay for the band! From the legends who made history here to the locals keeping it alive, Gallopin’ Goose is where Coolidge still rocks, eats, and sings together under one roof.
