I'm surprised the rating is low Staff and customers were very welcoming. My husband and I came for the first time and we weren't intimidated to join the dance floor. Overall, friendly and welcoming environment. Staff was attentive and friendly. If you have cowboy boots or hats or attire...come on in! read more

This place truly is the last real Honky Tonk in America -- and it feels like it the second you walk in. It's been the backdrop for countless movie and music video scenes over the years, and you can absolutely tell why. The rustic, no-frills Western atmosphere is pure magic. The intimate setup puts you right up close to the live band, and they play five nights a week (Wednesday through Sunday). No other spot in California comes close to that kind of consistent, high-quality country music. The dance floor stays packed with a perfect mix of line dancing, two-stepping, and partner cha-cha all night long. When the band takes a break, the jukebox has all your favorites ready to go. Special shout-out to bartender Ashley -- she's an absolute rock star! She serves nearly the entire bar like a pro, never misses a beat, and does it all with a smile and great energy. One of the best bartenders I've ever seen. The regulars are genuinely super nice and welcoming. There's a fun subculture of two-steppers here who happily dance with newcomers, so you absolutely don't need a partner to come have a great time. Birthday parties happen almost every weekend, making it the perfect spot for large groups to celebrate. If you're looking for an authentic country night out with great music, dancing, and friendly people, this is it. Don't miss The Cowboy Palace -- it's a true California treasure! read more

We just now got home and had an absolute blast! Security, especially Charles, was great! Music was so lively and good, we are all learning to line dance, and I'm hiring a personal instructor for our friend group. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and fun. Will definitely be back read more

Cool country bar and one of the only places in the valley with live country music. The only thing I don't get is the $10 cover charge. I recently came on a Friday night, and the place was surprisingly dead. I honestly think charging $10 at the door keeps people away. If they got rid of the cover, I think this place would be packed. Other than that, it's a great spot. read more

went with my friends here and it was such a blast! we all loved the ambiance here and took so many photos! it felt intimate and gave me hannah montana the movie vibes! the people were nice and we would come back here again! read more

This place was amazing way better then expected and way better then I was told . Fair price drinks music good country music 100% live band was amazing read more

I'll give this 3 stars for the vibe, and eager crowd. While I'm not a country fan or line dancing fan I love that there seems to be a regular crowd coming out to enjoy. Was surprised with such a crowd that often there was just 1 girl behind the bar, so drink service for a big group of drinkers was very underwhelming. And the food. I rarely write negative reviews but seriously, there has to be something more you can do when the best thing on your menu is the Tyson frozen chicken tenders: Owners, get yourself a chef, a real menu, some fresh food, and a couple more bar staff on a Friday night and you'll make a killing. Didn't bother taking photos of the food and I can see why not many other reviewers have posted any either cos it really is shit. Sorry. Could be so much better. Good luck read more

This place is a fun time but I recommend you come with an open heart and mind. Yes, the dance floor does get crowded but like much of life, it's what you make of it. I encourage you to keep trying the beginner lessons and don't be intimidated or afraid to make mistakes because quite frankly, that's how you learn. In fact seeing the more advanced people made me want to attend regularly so I can learn all of the routines. I came for the beginner lesson tonight and while I got turned around a few times, I had fun and definitely broke a sweat. Also for anyone who is a person of color who might be hesitant about coming into a space like this, I want you to know that I don't think you will have any issues here whatsoever. There are many ethnicities and skin colors present here, and as long as you are here to respectfully have a good time, you might enjoy yourself here. The food was meh and was served to us cold. But you didn't come here to eat, did you? You came here to DANCE. I can't afford a trip to Nashville just yet so the $10 fee for the lesson will have to do for the time being. I just wish CP had a membership for people who want to attend frequently. read more

Blonde bartender named Ashley. If she's serving you, make sure to pay cash and not leave your card. This place used to be awesome years ago. But it's really gone down hill. Recently stopped by, $56 for 5 beers. Reading the comments it seems that's the new norm at this place. Find another place and don't get ripped off. read more

Ashley the bartender was on top of her game, shes a realist about bartending, she will get to you just be patient cause shes working hard as hell every Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday. To actually watch how fast she works is amazing. Dont believe the other reviews she is great read more

This place is a joke for line dancing. It says beginners on Friday from 6-7 but don't be fooled. It's a mafia of women in the San Fernando Valley who just come here as their personal show-off spot. You will NOT learn line dancing. The "instructor" Francine doesn't call the moves, she's a rude see you next Tuesday who kind of half calls a few moves and then gets lazy and stops. It's really sad because in the South, beginner hour is actually beginner hour. Intermediate hour is even worse because it's just them line dancing with absolutely no calling at all. read more

The real last honky tonk in Southern California where you can line dance without judgement! You can feel safe with the crowd plus they offer line dance lesson with an affordable fee. They are open from wed-Sunday with performance from different live country band. This place has accommodated scenes from some of the well known movies and music videos in the past as they truly offer genuine western country vibes. The only downside is the bar area. It takes forever to be entertained, the blonde girl is not that amicable unless you're a man, (I like the new brunette girl though) she's very friendly keep her there. Non alcoholic and alcoholic beverage choices are limited however, overall, I recommend this place if you are seeking for an authentic country experience! read more

Was there a few nights ago and paid for my drinks with my card. Total was $31, I left 0 on the tip because I left cash and they charged me $37. They added a $6 tip after I had already tipped them $5 in cash. I will definitely be calling my bank. read more

Just so-so for my first time checking this place out.. Walked in w/ my gf after security id check @door and was told at the bar by bartender (blonde) there was a "$10 cover-charge" along with our drinks! That's odd.. usually security collects that, plus I immediately noticed there weren't any people really wearing the colored wrist-bands given. So what's the deal with that? Hmm?? Anywho, good vibe for a small bar, crowded dance-floor, local-yokels, decent live-band. Also got molested by some drunk gals at bar hehind me & got offered a drink, in front of my gf, but I just laughed it off. ~ sheesh, Stay classy ladies!! read more

First and last time here. Be careful if your server is Ashley. She added $50 to our tab and she wasn't going to fix it until I asked her again, she finally came back with an attitude and gave us our correct total. read more

Celebrated my 30th here with some friends and had the BEST time! The bartenders were fast! The authentic cowboy feel was so fun! Also for some of my friends who hadn't oine danced before, the teachers and other patrons were so welcoming! We will definitely come back!! read more

If you love country line dancing, or have ever wanted to try, you have to visit Cowboy Palace! They have lessons that are suitable for beginners and the instructors are so friendly and helpful. I do wish the dance floor was a little bigger, but other than that it's a great place. They also have bar food and non alcoholic beer along with a full bar. The bar has been featured in music videos and tv and films, it's worth checking out! read more

Cowboy Palace Saloon - Dancing - Dance Clubs Near Me - Chatsworth, California

My friends and I came here on a Saturday night for "beginner" line dancing classes. Overall we had a fun time! The bar was packed, which is good for them but made it crowded and a little hectic for us. This is the only true country bar I've been to around LA and you will find a much more 'old school' country vibe hear vs what you will find in any city country bars. I have done line dancing before and I would not say the beginner line dancing classes are beginner at all. Most of the dances were complicated and the instructor for the classes was very hard to follow. We couldn't really see what the instructor was doing but still had fun. This is definitely a fun country bar but don't go there expecting to learn line dancing on a weekend. I knocked a star off because the bar really needs accessible water if there's dance classes. I would suggest having water jugs so patrons don't have to fight the crowd for the bar to get water. read more

Fun place went to hear a friend playing with Hollywood Hillbilly s. Band was great, enjoyed the vibe, lots of 10 gallon hats,people having fun. Good bar service read more

I go here all the time. I was born and raised in Chatsworth. But the last few times I was in here.... The customer service is lacking. I've know ashley for a while and love her. But the last couple of times have not been a great experience. I just sat at the bar and ashley served me a drink. Then another bar tender came on shift. She told my group that I'd we didn't but a drink from her we needed to move from the bar stools. I just bought a drink. I'm not buying another one until I finish this one. She was so rude. I understand you want to make money but I will never give her business after the way she treated me and my friends. Because of this I didn't go back for a while. Well i went again tonight and was extremely disappointed and left way earlier than planned. I always bring new friends and try and drum up Business for my local chatsworth community. I was so embarrassed tonight by the way they treated us. We sat at one of the barstools like many other times. And they had water bottles around the pillar at the table we sat at as well as all the other tables around. Some of my friends that came with me tonight are new customers and didn't know they charge for them. I did however but was at the bar at that time when two do them took one each to drink. We were just about to order a round of drinks when this rude older lady told my friends they stole the water bottles and they were going to be charged $5 for each water. Then a gentleman told us there was a $5 cover charge! I have been going to this establishment for years and never in my life been charged a cover charge. I've also been going to Hollywood clubs for years and never been charged in Hollywood, so the fact that I was going to be charged a cover charge in Chatsworth is absolutely ridiculous!!! My group of 8 walked out of there so fast after that. I don't even know if I want to go back after that. I try to think about the fun times I've had..... that's why the 2 stars..... but it's really hard to outweigh the two horrible times I've had recently! What happened to customer service? If they explained things nicely it would have been a much better experience. It's all about the way you word things to people. But when you excuse people of stealing...... I come from a family of police and firefighters.... I would never steel! Choose your wording better! Because of the way we were treated my friends will never go back they said. read more

let me start by telling you this, if for YEARS, customers have been complaining about a certain bar tender, blonde and named Ashley, there is a huge PROBLEM!! I know the owners are not dumb, they just play dumb. I was born and raised in the SFV and have been around a lot of bars, and this one takes the first place ribbon for the bartenders being rude. My bf and I went there, I've been there, but he was a first timer. The blonde bar tender, Ashley, ignored us for 10-15 mins. She was taking her sweet Fn* time, flirting with some guys and catering to them. Helloooo, you have a full bar of customers waiting for you! she finally decides we are all worth her time. She comes and asks what we want, no smile no friendliness, with her shit ass attitude. we tell her, what we want, gives us our beers and ignores us for another 30 mins. If you are not a local, don't Bother coming here. ESPECIALLY, if You are of COLOR. save your little gold coins, and take your business somewhere else. its aesthetically pleasing, except for that huge confederate flag hanging, which should tell you everything about this bar. Also check your tab, the bar tenders like to add more than what you asked for. and keep tabs of the drinks you get. The bar tenders aren't very honest. this place Is a huge disappointment. read more

Great dive country bar, there were people line dancing, playing pool, and general debachery... Lots of boots and cowboy hats, gorgeous Bartender named Ashley, incredibly friendly and helpful about other attractions in the area. I was there late at night needed to blow off some steam after funeral and they did not have any food service at the time I was there so I'm not sure how the food is read more

4 people - cover band, 2 domestic beers, 1 white wine and a vodka/tonic -$185 no thank you - never again. read more

I love this place for drinks and dancing. Their food is not the best? 3 times now I have ordered the fries and each time they have not had Ketchup. Not in bulk not in packets. Nothing... while Ketchup is not for everyone. Please, come on... I figure if you can't get fries, even half right. Then I don't want to see what else they can mess up. Their bartenders are always good and attentive. That they have dance lessons every night they are open and a live band, are definitely a plus. read more

Wanted to try line dancing and this was one of the very few places suggested in the valley. The bar itself didn't have stellar reviews, but I figured I'd give it a try for dancing on a Friday night. They advertise a beginner class at 7 for a $10 fee. The teacher was 10 min late, ok that can happen. She took us thru the steps of one dance, which she did well. Clearly there were quite a few advanced students already participating on the very crowded small dance floor. In fact, some were hogging the front so I couldn't even see the teacher, really not cool. There is an advanced class @ 8 with more dancing afterwards. Couldn't these people let the newbies have the floor?! After that one dance, which lasted maybe 15 min, the teacher put on music, stepped away, and those advanced people started to dance madly, one song after the other. After watching this from the sideline for awhile, waiting in vain for another dance to be taught, I gave up and left. What a disappointment & waste of time & money. read more

I have been wanting to come here for as long as I've known about it, but have always felt really intimidated. But finally made it happen last night! I learned some steps from Mike (they have free lessons!) , drank some Coors Light, danced to LIVE MUSIC, and met some wonderful people. There was a very diverse group of people in attendance which made my heart sing! All ages, races, sexual orientations, and fashions. I am from the south, and I can tell ya, sometimes places aren't so welcoming to all. But, I got the feeling here all are welcome! The ONLY downside was, because it was Saturday night, at some point it did take a long time to get a drink. But, it wasn't because the bartenders were slacking! I've never seen such hard work! It was just so busy! I hope everyone tipped them well! I was glowing from the inside with happiness. You can take the girl out of the country, but...Thanks Cowboy Palace! I really want to try to make this a regular spot! See you soon! read more

I am currently at the Cowboy palace trying to have a good afternoon, but the band that is playing tonight is doing some sound checks and are very annoying for anyone listening to the drum bang bang bang over and over.

Omg so much fun. But it is country so the bartenders are just bartenders. Would like to see them be able to make better drinks and more choices in food. People do tend to get wasted over there. ‍ read more

Love this place but they recently began to charge a cover which I am fine with. My grievance is that the bartender collects the cover charge which gives off shady vibes. If you're going to have a cover charge have security collect it at the door so it doesn't feel like the bar staff can pick and chose who they charge. read more

Been there several times. And loved it when the band Westbound 66 would played. All my friends would go but,,, Unfortunately the band Westbound 66 hasn't been back in a while.

Very sad and disappointing, used to frequent here regularly back in the day, hadn't been in the last five years, but decided it was time. Wow, the place has changed and I'm afraid not for the better. None of the old timers were there, they played more hip-hop than country music, the band was terrible and they now charge a $10.00 cover charge with only two bartenders, making it almost impossible to order a drink. The bar was made up of primarily 25-year-olds, they did mostly line dancing with little to no 2-stepping, sure do miss the old days unfortunately won't be going back. read more

What a bummer.. this place is awesome but the blonde bartender Ashley is rude and down right mean. First she ignored us for a good 15 minutes, taking everyone elses order . Then she had to have over charged me and my friends for drinks. We only had 6 beers coming to a total of 78.00, putting each ultra at 13.00 each.. I aint a disneyland... on top of the 10.00 cover we got 3 of them and paid cash.. yet other people didnt have to pay. Was really disappointed. read more
