History

On October 11, 2014, Rawlings, Alex Mendonsa (who ran the House of Blues Las Vegas), [3] talent buyer Peter Ore (former Vice President of Talent Live Nation Denver) in addition to brothers Mike and Dan Flaherty [4] of United Commercial Realty, [5] started Gas Monkey Live at the location where the former Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill was established [6] in Northwest Dallas. [1] With a footprint of 3,500 m2 (38,000 sq ft), [7] [8] the facility is used predominantly for live music and can hold up to 3000 people. [1] American punk rock band Social Distortion [9] performed at the location on opening day. [4]

Midway through their " All Bad Things Must End" tour, [10] American rock band Mötley Crüe started in November by working with Dodge [11] for a free show [12] named "Dodge Rocks Gas Monkey", [13] which was restricted to only owners of Dodge Charger, [14] Challenger [15] and Viper vehicles. [16] At the performance, Dodge presented the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat as well as the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. [17] [18]

In May 2020, the venue closed. [2]
