I had a decent time here. The music and atmosphere were good. It was one of the more relaxed bars I went to on bourbon street. A lot of the other bars were unbearable. I’d come hang out here again if I had the opportunity. The bartender was pretty cool. I forgot her name to be completely honest but she had some piercings and tattoos. Really cool personality and she kept up with the flow of the bar no problem.

Fun bar! Good happy hour specials. Mechanical bull is a lot of fun to watch.

Always love this bar. Has a riding bull inside which always brings great enjoyment to watch! Draft Bottles are super cheap here. Also has an upstairs which overlooks Bourbon Street and is relatively clean!

Typical Bourbon Street nightlife bar. We popped in to grab a few drinks and shots. It gets really busy so you have to fight through the crowd a bit. Upstairs was much more chill of a vibe so we hung out up there and went out on the balcony to look out over Bourbon.

Wouldnt recommend renting the balcony for mardi gras. You have to rotate your amazing spot. So you dont get it for the whole time you pay for.

This is a really fun bar and I would give it 5 stars except for 2 reasons. The bartender overcharged us by adding shooters to our drinks which we never asked for or received. I watched him make the drinks and no shooters were added. Secondly. the lady selling shots literally forced them in the our mouths after we said no several times. Had to pay for those too. The atmosphere was great, the music awesome but they knowingly rip you off with no recourse but to pay.

I would give it a zero. My friends and I paid for balcony viewing and they just over booked it. It was not organized at all. We werent there for more than maybe 15 minutes before we were kicked out. The drinks that are included are watered down. There isnt enough tables and chairs for people to sit while waiting for the rotation. Best thing to do is to find a good dance club or bar for fat Tuesday if you dont want to be in the crazy packed streets.

Our stay in New Orleans wouldn’t have been the same if we didn’t come across the Bourbon Cowboy. From our bartender Maegon, the entertainment Jeff D, the DJ, security, the bull riding host, to the other patrons, it made our trip memorable. Drinks were cheap, bull ride was hysterical (yes if you tip well you will ride longer and you can also make sure your husband falls off instantly). This is a must go place if partying on Bourbon Street. Great people!

The service was great, the atmosphere is so much fun. The only downfall is how disgusting the washrooms are. But that goes to say for a lot of the publuc washrooms in the area.

Fun party place on Bourbon Street. However if youre going to write a review you may want to do it when you first get there. Theres a good chance that you may not remember anything the next morning.

I wanted to say THANK YOU for hosting our event Friday March 8. Honestly, my expectations were to walk into a bar and have people order drinks. I figured it would be a blank slate and we would throw some beads. Not so...I dealt with Sharon through the whole process and she was so quick with her responses and was super easy to work with.Y’all set out tables, with linens, and adorable little centerpieces! It was so unexpected and meant so much! Such a seeet gesture. The balcony was huge and was more than enough room for our guests to throw the beads we ordered. And that security guard was on point!Thank y’all for being so easy to coordinate with. It truly was a pleasure and it kicked off our wedding weekend in a great way!

This place had a lovely atmosphere. Awesome choices of Country music downstairs, while good choices of pop music played up stairs. Dont be a chicken, get yourself on that mechanical bull for a once in a lifetime experience. Gotta give some shout out to the roof top area too, it is the perfect place for the iconic bead throwing you come to expect on a busy Bourbon St night. 10/10 would Cowboy again.

Review №23

My girlfriends and i walked up to the balcony to enjoy a drink at this bar, where we were met at the top of the stairs with a shot girl who literally force fed us tube shots against our will even with us saying no. She proceeded to tell us we then owed her $40 plus tip for the 3 shots due to the “sexual favor” she provided by “feeding us” the shots, even though we verbally said no. A manager met us and stated we’d have to pay half of what she was charging but would give her a “talking to”. I’m posting this notify that if you are a young group of girls, DO NOT go to this bar. Management does not have your back against unsafe and aggressive employees. Not a safe choice, there are other safer choices on Bourbon Street.

Typical Bourbon street bar but with a mechanical bull. Great place to go if you want to be ignored by the bartenders. One played with her phone the entire time and waited on no one. She chatted with a few friends.

I had so much fun at the Bourbon Cowboy! You can ride the bull or just hang out and listen to this guy on the microphone ranking everyone out! Theyve got great deals on drinks and even had 3-fers the night that I was there! They also had some well-endowed women selling shots. We had a blast!

Review №44

Was kicked out of the bar because I asked the bartender to be nice to me. Approached him and asked for 3 beers and immediately started to insult me. I ended up tipping him because I planned on staying there for a while because I’m from Texas. He went and told the bouncer that I was being rude to him and they kicked us out because I asked him to be more nice and if he was I’d tip him. Prolly the worst bar iv been too since I just turned 21 the prior day.

Bull riding country bar in the middle of the French Quarter. Fun change of pace compared to the other bars in the area. Also a fun place to meet friendly strangers and do shots out of test tubes which seems to be a thing in New Orleans.

This place was fun but one of the bouncers made this a place to forget. Rather than slam doors and flicker the lights... Just ask people to go downstairs cause the top bar is closing. Wont be back.

This place would be cool if it werent for the shady servers. Also we bought at least 10 bull rides and the bartender wouldnt give us a free water.

Pretty good, typical Bourbon Street activities, with the addition of bull riding... A little crowded, little noisy and probably not the cleanliest, but it didnt seem like anyone cared...

Review №57

We were there just to get a drink but the pervert who passes out free bull riding tickets was trying to get some of our friends to go on it. One of our friends did it, the other (my partner) did not. The slimy perv with grey hair got mad when we said his approach was gross and sexist. After our friend rode the bull we decided to leave peacefully. As I walked out the man grabbed me by my bag, picked me up, then slammed me on the ground calling me a “little bitch”. He then proceeds to push me down the bar. I AM A WOMAN. The employees and bouncers did not protect me, instead they kicked me out when I was already leaving and protected this monster. If you put money into this place you are supporting sexual and physical violence. If I could I would give it no stars and light a match to this shit hole.

This place is fun if youre looking to ride a bull in New Orleans and get a few drinks while you wait. Its clean and a pretty cool spot, however the reason Im writing this review is because of the wonderful experience my friend and I had with a bartender named Courtney. She was quick, friendly, and not to mention incredibly gorgeous! She created a safe space for us late at night when Bourbon Street can get a little rowdy and uncomfortable, especially for two girls on their own. She told us to let her know if anything was wrong or if anyone harassed us. She made our experience really great, and for that reason we stayed longer, drank more, and tipped even better. Thank you Courtney! Those small gestures make a world of a difference.

Too many shot girls and ok drinks. Pretty decent environment and country music. They also show games on a projector and have a pretty diverse crowd. Pretty good to stop for a drink, but keep it moving. Has mechanical Bull too. But too many females being aggressive with shots.
