BarFly's Review of American Cowgirls (CLOSED)
CLOSED. Now Bar 84
Former review - Barn-like proportions, made all the more spacious by a general lack of crowd. Country theme is carried out with assorted saddlery and cowhide accents, a rustic, open beam ceiling, and a deejay booth fashioned of an old Chevy truck cab (new country and classic rock, natch). Great service, and the bartenders put on a show - flair bartending is the house specialty. Dancing on the bar, a la Coyote Ugly, is very much encouraged, as is taking a spin on the amateurs-only stripper pole. Open 11am-2am W-Sat, 4pm-2am Tuesdays. Dark Sun, Mon.
Definately not a country bar which is fine by me. Very wide range of music old and new. Overall friendly up beat atmosphere from the security to the bar staff. Definatly cheaper than going down town too. Would definatley go back.
A girl friend and I went for happy hour before a concert and we were highly disappointed by the lack of people. Also all they played were rap songs and a little kid rock. Very disappointed. I dont recommend this bar if your wanting country-dont be fooled by the name.
Definetly not a country bar. Not sure why it's classifed as one. I went on a Saturday night, i guess my first clue should have been the 3 brass poles on the tiny dance floor...bartenders were nice and the people there were attractive, just not a country bar.
We walked here all the way from the Rose Garden after Rascal Flatts and it was well worth it. Friendly doorman. Fast service. Good music. Fun dancing to watch. Whole mix from tatoos to big hair from the suburbs. We will be back!
Recess sports league had our end of season kickball party here. I was suprised. The place was cool inside. Less cowboy bar than I expected. Or maybe it was just that we were the only people in there (there were like 300 of us) and we were all cool? Of course, this was before there was the MECHANICAL BULL! (for you Mr. Ritter)
A mere four blocks north of the Ararat? Hmmm . . . I'm going to have fun imagining the American Cowgirls and Russian Vixens accidentally showing up to shake their respective booties at the wrong place. Natasha is riding a bull and complaining about the low quality of American beverages, and Dolly is line dancing on the disco dance floor to the Vengo soundtrack.
