A new country music venue is coming to Lancaster, and it's being built by someone who already knows how to get a crowd moving. A longtime dance instructor is opening Jillian Lillian's Country Bar, transforming a Broadway property into a honky-tonk designed around live music and dancing.
The venue, reported by Buffalo Business First, is described as a country bar in Lancaster that will feature a dedicated dance floor built upstairs. The outlet notes that the instructor is spearheading the transformation of the Broadway site into the new country music venue.
An Upstairs Dance Floor
The venue will include a dedicated dance floor upstairs.
Jillian Lillian's name may already be familiar to fans of line dancing around Western New York. Event listings from Diamond Hawk Golf show her leading free line-dancing lessons at The Hawk ahead of performances by the Dakota Brothers, billed as one of the region's hottest new bands.
How the Lessons Are Timed
Those sessions at The Hawk are scheduled for 6 p.m. and again during the band's break, with the Dakota Brothers set to start playing at 6:30, per the venue's listing. It's a format that gives newcomers a quick primer before the music kicks in.
Jillian Lillian's Country Bar joins a growing appetite for country and line-dancing nightlife in the Buffalo area, though specifics such as an opening date, hours, or admission details for the Lancaster venue have not been released.
