What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Cowboy Stadium is a popular spot for live music, particularly Zydeco, and energetic club nights. Visitors often praise the lively atmosphere and the thrill of seeing performers like Keith Frank indoors. However, some reviews mention concerns about drink quality and music variety, suggesting a need for careful selection of events and drink orders.
"I had an absolutely fantastic time at Cowboys Venue during Mardi Gras and the Keith Frank concert! This place is definitely a five-star venue in my opinion.
The drinks were reasonably priced, and although the bar was really packed, I felt like I got my money's worth. I wish I could remember my bartender's name—he was the one closest to the stage at the very end near the exit door. He was a really cool guy! Even though it sometimes took a while to get my drink, he made up for it with his engaging personality and friendliness.
The atmosphere was great, and I truly enjoyed myself. Keith Frank sounded amazing, and it was a thrill to finally see him perform indoors in one of my favorite cities. The last time I tried to see him in Texas, the event got rained out, so being inside this time was a huge plus!
Overall, my experience at Cowboys Venue was wonderful, and I highly recommend it. Huge shoutout to the bartender for his excellent service, and of course, to Keith Frank for an unforgettable performance!
Can't wait to come back!"

"I haven't been to a club in 6 years. I had so much fun. The bartender was absolutely amazing. As a former bartender I give her props. Very difficult to get to the bar tho."

"I came from out of town for a show at Cowboys. The place was packed, the music was great. I’d never been to a zydeco before but my only issue was the alcohol. I’m an avid drinker. I drink my whiskey neat and my beer ice cold. You can’t fake beer, but you can fake that liquor and what I thought was a double shot of premium whiskey turned out to be well swill instead. It instantly turned my stomach and the night seemingly went south. I’d go again for the vibe, but I’d never order drinks here again. My wife had two drinks that were over $10 each and I could taste the well liquor in hers too and I know I ordered too shelf."
