Went to this bar last night had a great time, the bartenders where quick an friendly as the bouncers also. Clean bar with different sections to hang out. There was live band an then later in the night the DJ turned up the dance floor with a good verity glad he put some hip hop in the mix. If your looking for great spot to hit up this would be it

It took quite some time to get a drink. There was only one bartender, so I can understand there being some wait. The karaoke side was a lot more fun for my group. The restroom experience is where they lost majority of their ratings. I walked into the restroom and saw a lady cleaning, so I simply asked if this was the men’s or women’s. She flipped out and threatened to send me “upstairs” bc I was the 5th person to ask her that question. I apologized. I meant absolutely no harm. The sign on the door was a little hidden due to the door being propped open. Then told me I was disrespectful. When washing my hands I saw she had a tip jar. If you’re working for tips from people that come into the restroom, that last thing you want to do is treat someone poorly especially when she was simply asked one question. Needless to say, after that encounter I wouldn’t care to even go back.

Tequila Cowboy has always been one of the of the absolute best places to go. If youre from out of town, or even a laid back local. Just coming here offers the best from a pop room upstairs that plays the top songs, or the country bar downstairs. Even if youre into karaoke, connected to tequila Cowboys is wannabes - Columbuss hands down absolute best karaoke. Dont just take my word for it, even though Im a Google reviewer, go see for yourself. Its one of the best places to go to.

Awesome place. Great live country music before the late hours. Pool tables and second bar upstairs are great with a view of the stage and dance floor. The karaoke bar was also a great time for everyone there!

Best bar ever!! Anthony and Brett hands down make the BEST margaritas in town!!! The mango margarita is my favorite(: Those two boys have always got me and my friends back when it comes to needing a good drink I can literally just tell them what kind of drink I’m looking for and they ALWAYS whip me up something amazing I’ve never had before!

Fun bar with frequent live entertainment, pool tables, and three bars, one on each floor. Drinks are rather expensive, comparatively to other bars in the surrounding area that Ive been to. Large dance floor, usually very busy on weekends. They also have a mechanical bull. Attached is a pizza place with pretty good pizza, and another bar.. and a karaoke bar in between.

Drinks were good size and proceed well. Great atmosphere. Excellent bartenders. We were there during a concert, and it was a lot of fun. Only complaint is the whole place has a peculiar smell to it that, at times, was distracting to the show and conversation.

Huge country-western/rock and roll venue. Live stage entertainment, multiple bars, a balcony area. Very fun to meet friends or take a date. Attached pizza restaurant with delicious pizza and bar food. Great after work watering hole and weekend party place. Great place to meet nice people.

Decent themed bar. Has a mechanical bull, live stage, 4 bars, dance floor, small outdoor section and two levels(pool tables upstairs) which is neat. There is a cover charge at the door for men and women if the women are with men when they arrive. Drink prices can be steep.

Review №19

I know this may be silly to some, but someone showed up at the bar on a busy day wearing a animal mask which is very disconcerting. We approached the staff and made it clear that it was uncomfortable and not safe and they brushed it off like it was nothing and said they haven’t seen anything even though the person stayed at the bar for about 3 hours. It was just very disappointing, safety should be number one in a crowded bar like this.

Great place to go see a band. Food was good but it took forever to get to our table. Appetizer arrived after the entrees. If youre going to eat do it on a night they dont have a live show and it will be a better menu and faster service.

Was there for a work party.. was supposed to be a buffet..but was more chips, veggies & dips.. There were some wings when they decided to fill the tray/ container.. the Bartenders were friendly & attentive.. No bull riding & saw no karaoke.. usually more activity happening, but was a nice gathering place.

Awesome place! Great set up! The only reason I took a star off was the waitress went m.i.a. and the food took forever to come out (an hour for nachos and cheese sticks). This place is great though. Drinks are reasonable the bar tender was very nice ave they had everything in one place ...corn hole karaoke and pizza?! Love.

Review №32

I’ve been here a handful of times and I always have a great time! Yes it’s loud, and the dance floor isn’t the biggest but it’s a fun place! Never seen serious drama or anything unsafe. The only complaint I have is about the dance floor. For a bar this big I would think they would make more room especially when the weekend comes it gets really busy & packed. But other than that it’s a fun place :)

This is a fun place to enjoy with group of friends who likes not only rock music but also country music, they had a live band singing country music and sometime later rock music and i love the range of music they place from the 80s till now. The place is like a maze theres a lot of space/corners to sit and hang out my favorite place is the karaoke they have this amazing DJ that sings very well and if its a duet and you sing alone he will sing with you! People are decent but maybe depending on the time, when it was closing soon I am glad theres only a few thats wasted but didnt create any scene. It can be crowded and busy but staff are friendly you just need to be patient with your order if its too crowded. Lastly I love, love and love the ladies toilet! I Feel I am in a 5 star hotel I am blown away with the branded lotion, liquid soap, and perfume thats there and they have a selection of bath and body works, victoria secret and a lot more and there is a designated staff to help.

The DJ choice has gotten better for line dancing but the dance instruction needs to be done earlier or by an instructor that doesnt take 40 minutes to teach a dance.

First time was a blast, mechanical bull was down for the event of the evening, but that wasnt an issue. Didnt try the food but drinks werent too pricey considering I see it more as a venue rather than a bar/grill spot. Great country atmosphere!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Its a great meeting spot for friends. You can hangout, play pool, watch karaoke or dance. I am a returning customer because of mine and my friends favorite bartenders, Bretly and Anthony. These guys are the faces of TC. They are what makes it They always have smiles on their faces and make us all laugh. Their smiles are contagious and you cant help but have a great time when theyre there. I keep coming back over and over because of those 2. Love them and love this bar!!!!

Most fun place for an evening out. The best band ever. It was my birthday celebration weekend. It was a great place to start. Met the nicest people. The bartenders were courteous, took food and drink ordersOne bartender made the best ever Pina Colada..delicious. The food we had was tasty, good presentation and reasonably priced for an evening out. This was a surprise for my birthday...loved it.

Great place for a fun night out! Basically 4 bars in one. They have a main floor bar with dance floor and mechanical bull. And they have a bar that overlooks the main floor with pool tables and darts. In the Next Room they have a great karaoke room /bar. Its so much fun to watch people try and sing! In the Next Room is a pizza place with dance floor and Bar.

Its loud, they have beer, karaoke and a bull. Definitely quite an experience for the location. Food isnt terrible either. If youre looking to learn country dancing, you can get practice too. Ill be back, with low expectations, and will be pleased. Its huge so theres usually plenty of space too.

Tequila Cowboy is a nice place to visit for dining or just dropping by to eat at the bar. Great Texas All American place to hang with family and friends. Food choices are plentiful and can be shared with 2 people. (large portions). Entertainment is present at times and theres evening a mechanical bull for those who dare. Call ahead to get details about entertainment schedule.

The only good thing about this place was the bartender, that guy was an angel none of us deserve. The wait staff took 30 minutes for our patience to run out and find them to make an order. A few people in our party were served cold food. They took our leftovers after I asked for a box, they ran out of glasses and drinks. They were incredibly disappointing.

Review №51

I visited TC last night for a concert and it was really great once we fought the crowd to get closer to the front. They had plenty of people on staff at the bar so the wait for drinks was minimal. The sound system is on point but youll want to stand out in front of the big bar for the best acoustics. All the decorations are super fun! Theres this giant guitar on the ceiling and giant photos of country singers everywhere. The stage seems small, but it really makes for an intimate concert experience. Thats all good and well, but lemme just tell you about the bathrooms. THEY ARE FANTASTIC!! If youre like me and need a reliable bathroom when youre drinking, this place is great! There was literally no wait which is super rare for the ladies room, but it gets better than that. In the bathroom there was plenty of TP, tampons and pads if you need them, and CANDY. They even had a bathroom attendant. LOOK GIVE THIS LADY A RAISE BECAUSE SHE WAS THE BEST! She was right there giving people towels to dry their hands, cracking jokes, letting you know which stalls were available. She told us about all the things you cant see that are available like contact solution. She said youre not going to be SOL in the TC because the bathroom has everything you need. I had a great experience at the Tequila Cowboy!

Don’t judge a book by its cover!! The name may fool some into believing that this place is for one specific type of crowd but it’s just the opposite. There’s line dancing, karaoke, a game room wil ping pong and Jenga and what not. Definitely worth checking out for anyone!

Review №57

I hate country music but I was honestly surprised about how much fun I had. The community and staff there are a great time. Joe, the bathroom attendent, is the absolute man! Their drinks are good but a little pricey compared to other places. They do have a section that plays hip hop and rap songs but unfortunately its pretty small compared to the rest of the place. Overall, I definitely recommend at least going to this place on time even if you hate country like myself.

Good layout, great location! Enjoyed the band and heard this place books some great acts. Food was good and portions are sized to share with friends. Watch out: Drinks are expensive! And to close out the night, theres a karaoke bar attached! Not really my thing, but fun to go watch folks sing after theyve had a few drinks!

Review №59

Discrimination is real at this spot... my family and I went to this bar around 11:30 pm on Saturday. They ID us at the gate. We had first round of drinks no problem. We went for second round with different a bartender and she asked us for Our ID. Mind you she served 7 or 8 white people without asking for ID. We asked her why she ask for our IDs and she stated that because people being inside the bar. We don’t even look like 21 years old.. totally disappointed. The only reason she asked for our ID because of our skin color(black)

Review №62

Ill admit Im not one for the usual bar scene, so take my review as biased as it is. The staff show very little personality, though I credit this more to the place being pretty busy the past 4 times Ive been there so I dont think thats worth holding against the employees. The main thing that makes this place a no go for me is the customers. Every time Ive been there, a fight has broken out between different groups of people there. A couple of times Ive had intoxicated older men confront girls in the group I go with. Theres not much the people working there can do to change their customer base and I dont think anyone working there should be blamed, but it doesnt make me like the place and better.

Review №64

Really fun place for people looking for a club atmosphere, a chill atmosphere, or a wild night out. Tequila Cowboy is primarily a country bar that books plenty of great bands (or so from what I hear). Theres been plenty of country music stars that have gotten their start here, or so Im told. Theres about 5 maybe 6 pool tables upstairs, and the upstairs also has a great view of the stage where the band plays. Bars upstairs and down. If youre tired of the country music, or want a change of scenery, Tequila Cowboy is attached to another bar called Wanna Bes that has karaoke. That place gets wild! Fun time there! Tequila Cowboy is also attached to a pizza place, so you can knock out dinner and dancing, or just a fun time all in one place.

This place is constantly disappointing. The workers are RUDE. I was there a couple of weeks ago, and after riding the bull, I sat on the floor next to the bar to put my knee high boots on, and within seconds, a worker hustled over to tell me that I was in VIOLATION for sitting on the floor. I explained to him that I wasnt drunk, just putting boots back on, and he continued to inform me that this was a nice establishment and I couldnt sit and put my boots on. (Short brunette male, the same guy who was checking IDs tonight).Rude employees, crappy music. The girl in the upstairs bar makes weak drinks.

My work had a happy hour here and there was plenty of room for everyone to stand and talk. They did play the music a little loud which was kind of a disappointment but its probably typical for the type of establishment. The waiters I think were trainees so they didnt really know what was available in the bar but they were very helpful otherwise. The bull riding experience they had was hilarious

Food= bland/overpriced, beer= WAY overpriced ($4 for a 12oz bottle?), service?= yeah right, good luck! (and they have a bathroom attendant that tries to guilt you into a tip by promoting his movie and handing you a paper towel. Really?) The ONLY good thing about this place is they book good entertainment- otherwise, HARD pass (they even removed seats around the bar before the headlining act and people had to stand)! Same experience on 3 separate occasions.

I wish it was possible to give this establishment less than 1 star. While I had an excellent experience with most of the staff relating to me being a guest there was a bouncer at the end of the night (a bigger gentlemen) who insisted on trying to create a problem with only 3 minutes left before everyone should leave. Having over 15 years of experience in the restaurant industry, I want to be clear in explaining that the rest of my time spent there was excellent with the rest of the staff, however because of this one bouncer, not only will I never be back, but I will do everything In my power to convince everyone I meet to never go to this establishment. I apologize to the owners for leaving a bad review due to one employee, but, thats how bad it was. Hopefully this review is taken as positive criticism and this establishment can do some research into their one horrific, lazy, incompetent employee. The proof is in the pudding, just watch the tapes.in·com·pe·tent/inˈkämpədənt/adjective1.not having or showing the necessary skills to do something successfully.a forgetful and utterly incompetent assistantsynonyms:inept, unskillful, unskilled, inexpert, amateurish, unprofessional, lacking ability, bungling, blundering, clumsy, unproficient, inadequate, substandard, inferior, ineffective, deficient, inefficient, ineffectual, no good, not good enough, wanting, lacking, leaving much to be desired
