The Cowboy Bar will be back

by cowboyemployee

Hold on to your hats, the Cowboy Bar will be back in Helotes before you know it! Estimates put it ready to two step again around the first of the year! (2009.. whooee!) Thanks for all the support, best wishes and fantastic memories we all share. The same fantastic manager will run it, though he is missing some hair and a finger... his heart has always been in Helotes! Look for your favorite staff members at other local haunts, they didn't stray too far from home. The Stockyards down by Sea World has a dance hall the same shape and set up, and you might be surprised by how many people you recognize when you walk in, along with Cold River Cattle Company (used to be) coat check behind the sound booth, solid mesquite bar tops, thick cut-log table tops and that never- big- enough dance floor we all miss so much.

• Pros: will have bigger bathrooms and more parking next time

Burned Down!

The cowboy bar burned down several months ago. Not sure about rebuilding process. Was a fun place!

Friendly Small Town Atmosphere

by cactushinge

At the door I was greeted with a smile, and a door opened as well as it was opened on the way out. Far from the thought of being ran through a shakedown as of some larger clubs. The service was excellent! As though the cigerette smoke was almost unnoticeable in the building, there was quite a bit of smoke odor in my clothes afterwards. The music from the band was great. Good sound system. Great country atmosphere. It was like being in an old time feed store. Don't miss the opportunity to visit "The Cowboy Bar".

• Pros: Inexpensive, Easy Parking, Friendly Staff
• Cons: Cigerette Smoke, No Imported Beer, Small Restroom
