I was so excited to come here with my friends and boyfriend and when we got there we thought it was $15 but it was $30 to get in. My boyfriend already paid to go in but, my friends couldn’t because of miner issues so, we stand out of line to talk on what to do for a couple of seconds. Out of nowhere the lady in front was very rude because she start to yell at us and told us to leave so, my friends did but I stayed because, I want to be with my boyfriend but, my boyfriend told me to leave and we will meet outside. So I did and when we got there he told me the reason why he told me to leave was because, they lady called security on me for no reason. I understand that she was frustrated but she could of ask us nicely to fix our issues outside instead of being rude about it. Not only that my boyfriend always have problems here because, how rude and disrespectful the employees are.

Good size venue. Plenty of room to watch live bands. Large dance floor. Giving it a 1 star because I got the date rape drug while I was there and security didnt really help my friends find the man who did it. Hope others have a better experience than mine.

This place is the really HUGE building for country dancing ever I have seen! Fun meet new faces and a few people know sign language basically!!! Dance makes you bust into a smileI feel the music, the beat flows into my heart. And then through my blood,causing me to move though I dont really hear that much.

We were impressed upon arrival with the size of the venue, size of the dance floor, etc. However, as it got closer to the start time of the main event, the crowd showing up just STANDS on the dance floor, filling up the only area that is designated for DANCING. It seems as though the venue itself may be allowed to accommodate for a certain amount of people, but the management of the venue should not consider the dance floor as part of the standing room when selling tickets for concerts, etc. You should not be allowed to stand on the entire dance floor because that completely defeats the purpose. If you are looking for somewhere to go and dance, look around before you settle for Cowboys- you may not even get that opportunity.

Big venue and plays great music. I had a great time but I wish that there would have been more line dancing. This is a great dance hall to go to if you know how to swing dance. But if you dont, you might end up sitting around most of the time unless youre asked to dance.

Went to a rodeo there! Yes there are rodeos there!! Not just dancing, half of this building is a dancehall, nice music, bar, dance floor, the other half is a small indoor arena area with bleachers for bull riding! I brought my 2 kids and we watched the bull riding. It was a nice small setting. We left around 1030. It was a safe area although a club is connected. Police on site and monitoring the area. We have went twice now and will be going again! Id like to have a date night there and enjoy the dancehall!

Always plays great music, 90s country, Texas country and more. Very little California/Nashville pop country. Perfect for two stepping.

Horrible experience at the Josh Turner show. Doors opened at 7, by 10:30 he still hadn’t made an appearance. We heard the same songs two or three times while waiting and were getting very bored. I asked the manager for a refund and was denied, told they were not responsible. The manager and doorman then proceeded to kick us out for complaining. We will never be back! Just a waste of money.Also the parking lot is full of broken glass and smells like urine.

Establishment is big. Plenty of room to move around. The dance for is nice and they have a great concert line up. If you really want a genuine rodeo atmosphere, then look no further, for they have an indoor rodeo arena. Plenty of bar areas, plenty of parking spaces. Really well done. Keep up the great work.

From what Im hearing about Cowboys Dance hall. Its a really nice place to hangout. And ride the manacial bull. Im not too sure when the full Rodeo arena is open. But you can bet Ill find out. If its half as good as Billy Bobs Texas. Ill be spending alot of time there. And bringing all my Redneck friends with me. Ill repost after I visit this coming Weekend. Get E Up, Big John B.

My wife and I were in town from Dallas over the weekend and we visited Cowboys Dancehall for the very first and last time on Friday night. The dance floor is huge so we were really excited to get on the floor but there were SO many people just standing on the dance floor it was very difficult to dance. What is worse is that there were SO many people with drinks on the dance floor that there was spilled drinks all over the dance floor. I think the only way to fix this club is to hire lots more bouncers and teach the clientele proper dancehall etiquette.

So I went to cowboys and they write stars on my arm to indicate that I’m a minor, what ever no big deal, but I go to wash my hands after using the restroom and notice it gets washed off but I didn’t think this would be a big deal as long as I don’t ask for and alcoholic drinks, but then 15min later I get 2 rude employees escort me out basically interrogating me. They should either use some better markers or use wrist bands as well as markers. Honestly worst experience I’ve had almost anywhere.

Review №19

Live music, pool tables, HUGE dance floor, and amazing events! If you go on a night that they are having a deal (like Wednesday) you can drink super cheap. Concert days you will spend quite a bit extra but that is standard and not nearly as much as you would spend at a typical event center. Safe environment with plenty of security guards and bouncers perfect for girls night out!

It’s a daycare there with little high school kids. If you want a good country dancehall go to wild west , bluebonnet palace , cooter Browns. Pretty much anywhere but here .

Great place to go dance! It’s very crowded on the weekends but it’s been a favorite dancing place of mine for years! Drinks are affordable and much to do other than dance. You can watch the live bands or play pool! Even bull ride! Check website for prices and events

Very dark, very loud, perfect if you like that kind of thing. House band is pretty good. Good size dance floor and people were using it. Lots of seating. Upstairs overlooks the dancefloor.

This is such a fun place to go. I didnt know how to dance but EVERYONE there is willing to teach you. Southern hospitality is a must there and I must say that I love it because manners matter. There bars and seating all around the dance floor and there is also bull riding. I was also there for a concert prior to this visit and it was very fun.

This is a cool place we have gone here for the Friday night fun as well as the 2 stepping lessons. Never a place you worry about being at late at night always decent staff at the bar and in the building. The atmosphere is great the music is stellar and the lessons were actually a lot of fun. The instructor was a great guy that seemed to ensure everyone learned and had a good time.

Review №32

Good music and good times, but I payed good money for table to a show and there was only 2 waitresses for the whole upper section. Had to wait over an hour an order of drink and stand in line for 30-45 minutes just to get a drink. What’s the point of paying extra if there no extra privileges

Love this place. Been a regular for all of my short stint in San Antonio training at Fort Sam Houston. Safe place (never felt threatened arriving/leaving), kind staff, bartenders were cool, fair drink prices/specials, fun dance lessons, big dance floor, varied music playlist (only complaint is that despite the variety of songs, they repeated them every time I showed up, but it didn’t take away from the experience), fantastic band, clean and well air conditioned. Lastly I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that free entrance being provided to military members is a game changer. Easily what I’ll remember most when I look back on my time in SA.

My wife and I were married December 16th, went to cowboys thinking we wouldn’t stay more than an hour. Once inside it started, staff started treating us like movie stars. Making a night my wife and I will never forget. Tara, the owner,manager,mechanical bull attendant and the bar patrons made us feel right at home. We love this place. We don’t always get to go out but any date night from now on, we’re going to cowboys. Thank you everyone at cowboys for making our wedding night so special

I had a great experience! I went with a group on a Friday night and there was no cover charge. The mixed drinks were a bit steep, but beer was priced average. I opened a tab and the bartender made a point to remember my face and called me by name to ensure she was charging the right tab. Early in the evening (7-8:30) they offer dance lessons for free, which was great for those looking to perfect their moves. After that, there were plenty of dance partners available. I danced all night long to the mix of DJ tunes and the live band. I cant wait to go back!

I always enjoy going here. This last i went it was to see BLAKE freakin Shelton i was so dang happy. Cowboys is always fun. The only thing the was annoying was that in section that you can pay for ( gold & silver ) sitting the guy letting people in was letting anyone in they didnt have the band that other people had to be in there & was pretty much blocking us from seeing the show only because they were standing & didnt have sits. When i mentioned it to the guy he acted like he didnt understand what was going on.

Probably the biggest dance floor in town with great light setup. Usually have live music and often notable concerts. It is a country music venue but they occasionally play hip-hop or dance music. A lot of different bars inside makes it easy to get drinks. Definitely a fun place to visit for dancing, drinking and/or music.

Great concerts, great venue. Plenty of beer stands in all corners of the place so no lines if you just want beer. They also have at least two full bars that usually move pretty quick also. Bathrooms are abundant and pretty clean - no lines.Nice sized dance floor but it sometimes fills up for live concerts so you may not be able to dance - but who cares?Domestic beers are $4.75. Since I only go for concerts, I am not sure what the cover on a normal night is.Staff (even the bouncers) are all nice and very respectful - unless you get out of hand I assume.

Dance with the best looking girls n Texas...While I was in town working the Hail Storms a friend of mine took me to a few hot spots in SA, and this place is amazing for a Georgia boy like me to experience what Texans do on a Saturday night. The large dance floor is the center location with the Bull riding to the right through the doors. Some of the best looking girls on the dance floor doing the two step will make you want to come back for more

Review №73

Its a great place if you enjoy hanging out with lots of kids under 21 and unfortunately they dont play much country music.. I understand there is a need to change up the music, but when you are billed as a country dance hall and less than 50% of your music is actually country, maybe its time to get a new DJ. :( This place was so much fun a few years ago, and now its one of the last places I choose to go, and when I do its only because a friend has decided to have their birthday celebration. Would love to see RR go back to what it used to be....

Review №74

This place is gross and only gross ppl go here. Bad experience. Also lots of underage drinking going on. Feels like the are aware of this and the teenage sex that I witnessed. They even have a teen night specifically for this heathenism. Parents of these kids just dont care. This place just dont care. Ive witnessed so much n one night I wont allow my teens there. This place is shameful. This place should be shut down.

Review №75

I love the fact that it is a large country dance hall, but it is the worst. They are all rude there except for some of the bar tenders that bust their butts especially on the busier nights. Ill never forget how they told me I could not get into a concert that I had already purchased tickets to. Then they told me that I would be refunded. They never refunded me...

Jo
Review №76

It would not surprise me if this place has trouble getting repeat business from customers considering while wating for three hours before a concert we heard the same songs at least 4 times from the DJ. Not only that but the opening act sang some of the same songs the DJ had been playing. The DJ should know what is on the set list and not play these songs beyond the fact that they should not repeat songs in the same night. There are thousands of song choices for couples dancing and the selection was pathetic at best. I noticed that a good portion of the attendees were of age 40 or older and Im sure they wouldnt minding dancing to a variety of country from the past decades.

Review №77

Always a fun time, i go as often as possible with my friends and we always make some awesome memories each time. great music, great dance floors, bouncers are so nice & the people in general are fun... would recommend if you are into the country stuff... the only weird thing is when gangster type people go in there i feel uncomfortable like Im a country girl i wouldnt walk up in a booty popping club in some wranglers and boots and just look at everyone... why come into cowboys in Js and sagging pants and look at everyone like theyre crazy... but other than the occasional thing like that its a great place.

If you come for your birthday grab the birthday package they offer to you on your way in the door. I thought it would be smarter to have them hold on to it behind the entrance desk until I left that night but the employees must have lost it because upon leaving the bouncer had no idea what I was talking about. Hope someone enjoyed the birthday present.. :(

Review №83

Ladies, real cowgirls, do not go here if you wear something that covers everything a city girl thinks a real cowboy needs to see to get a good mans attention. You be very disappointed. Youll stand there all night shaking your head at the street walkers in boots smile and dance with the urban cowboys knowing that those girls cant mend elk fence, work cattle, or put in a long backbreaking 14 hour day of laying 12 inch gated flood irrigation pipe for as far as the valley will let you see in Wyoming and missing real cowboy that wouldnt have given them a second look. And DJ that screamed Welcome to Texas B**** to the outside speakers as I was walking to my vehicle, that is plated in Nebraska, thank you. But since I didnt have a way to reply I just wanted to let you know I actually spent the first like 5 years of my life here in Fort Hood, Texas. My family and I traveled to Germany for 3 years after Texas,Louisiana, I finished​ high school and a few year of college in Michigan, some southern states, then Wyoming in 2007, Nebraska for the last year or so ish, then made a big loop. You would have known all this if you would have no judged me on my clothes, boots, hat, skin color, where you thought I was from or about. But thank you from the bottom of all of us real cowgirls and cowboys hearts for having packed like this to keep those city folk where they belong. And to the one couple I could find that didnt look like they were going to a Vegas Rhinestone Rodeo and being respectful of this woman and she had enough confidence to not show her goods, thank you for recommending some better places in Austin. You were right.

Main reason why I dont like going to clubs/bars is ppl drinking and dont know how to handle their liquor.
