Oh my goodness, let me just tell y'all about this precious little restaurant I visited the other day. I mean, from the moment I walked in, I could just feel the spirit of hospitality, and you know that matters--because as it says in Scripture, we are called to welcome others with a joyful heart. Now, first things first--the atmosphere? Absolutely darling. Soft lighting, fresh flowers on the table, and everything just so clean you could practically eat off the floor (though of course we behaved ourselves, bless it). It had that cozy, peaceful feeling that just makes you want to sit, sip your sweet tea, and talk about all the Lord's blessings. And the food... well, let me testify. I ordered the fried chicken, and honey, it was crispy in a way that felt almost divinely inspired. Juicy, flavorful, not a single corner cut. The mashed potatoes were smooth as silk--honestly, I told my husband they reminded me of what manna must've tasted like if it came with butter. And don't even get me started on the biscuits. Light, fluffy, and served warm--just the way the Good Lord intended. read more

Fun little bar right by the stadium. Bouncer / guy operating the mechanical bull the night I was there was dope. I believe his name was Kellen. I'd come back to pregame when in the area. Or for the afters. read more

The food was tasty and something worth eating if you want to watch a game or just to have a blast. Bartenders were very patient and professional as you decide what to order. Oh yeah, and the mechanical bull is mandatory to try out. read more

The best deal on munchies in Seattle I have found - their $5 burgers and Lumpia are fire!

STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS! Seriously go anywhere else. Tourist and locals alike stay away! One of the worst experiences I've had at a bar period. If I could give zero stars I would. This bar has a reputation for being one of the worst in Seattle. My friends and I are waited in line just to pay $82 for 4 well tequila shots which is an insane price even for Seattle. While we waited for drinks at the bar we were VOMITED ALL OVER ON by the person next to us at the bar. I'm talking it was in our hair, clothes, purse, etc, I politely went up to the bar to explain to a manager what happened and that while I understand it was not staffs fault I would like a refund. He was so rude and completely ignored us. I then talked to a lovely bartender who eventually led us to the back room of the manager who then gave us a refund after we explained the situation for the third time. During the whole process though, the original bartender made sure to chastise us for not "coming to her first". Sorry we can't read your mind! You think we'd all least get comped for the shots we ordered. But no, we were chastised for that too. We went home after that, our night completely ruined. I left with one of the worst tastes in my mouth about an establishment ever, including management.I feel sorry for anyone who has to patron this place. My friends were visiting Seattle and I'm embarrassed this was impression of our city's hospitality. To anyone visiting Seattle, here's where you can go instead :literally any dive bar in pioneer Square; head up to cap hill for tons of bars, monkey loft for dancing, Ozzie's in Queen Anne for Karaoke. You'll at least get treated with decency here and not ripped off. read more

Five of my friends and I went to this place where they have been before to have a drink. Wasn't that busy at first and it became really busy but they only had one bartender working. I didn't understand why there was only one bartender working. It doesn't cost that much to have an extra bartender working, and if its slow, you can always send that person home early. People were leaving after not being able to get a drink. That's bad management if you ask me. There were at least 50 people there. Eventually, another bartender came on around 12. We left right then. read more

Went there last night for my sisters birthday left to go get the bartender tip accidentally walked out of the restaurant security would not let me back in very disrespectful. They were very rude and my ID and card were still at the bar with my drink 10 out of 10 do not recommend at all and now I have to wait until after. I'm off work to go drive up there and get my ID and debit card do not go there at all. Security is awful. read more

Left a phone to charge and came back and they said they don't have it anymore. Security sucks disrespectful. Thieves. Never going here again don't recommend. read more

Who would of thought the best lumpia I had would be in a country dive bar. The service here is immaculate. The girls who work here are beautiful and attentive. The security guards do their job with professionalism. Got through the line quickly and efficiently in a respectable manner. Make sure to check this spot out when you are in town or around the area. read more

Update.. I went back with a group of friends after the game. Just going with the flow. The bouncer whose friends were beating on the kid who was not fighting back.. pulled me out of line. Tried to interrogate/harass/shame me in front of people about "calling the police on them." Asked me why I'd come back. Told me I only saw half of what happened. Blah blah blah. Lots of condescending questions in attempt to retaliate. He was extremely cocky & condescending. Like he got a kick out of it. lol. He was really enjoying it. However I called 911 because a human needed medical attention and was getting beaten without fighting back nor initiating a fight. Apparently the bouncer believes that if you're too drunk while inside the club that you deserve to be punched in the head and throat by multiple people. Again while not fighting back and trying to leave. He also said that his boss agreed and didn't think anything was wrong. And it's basically not their job to protect people. He was enjoying scolding me. He had no remorse nor did he care about the kid who his friends jumped. All he cared about was that I TRIED TO GET HIM FIRED, IT DIDN'T WORK and "they won." Haha. Gross. I will gladly let that security officer try to make me feel bad if it potentially helped someone not get seriously hurt or killed. So Cowgirls can make light of the situation, but nobody who is not fighting back or defenseless deserves to be brutally hit repeatedly. Instead of being professional by simply telling me I couldn't come in because I called the police, posted a bad review and sent an email (as asked by the owner). This man decided to rudely pull me to "have a talk" with me. Be dramatic and drag out some ridiculous conversation. He intentionally TRIED to embarrass & verbally harass me. I kept asking what are we doing here? He continued to speak down to me. I had to ask another guy at the door "am I getting in or not." Absolutely ridiculous and unprofessional. Apparently the owner condones this behavior and is perfectly fine with emotional and physical abuse. Looks like women get the brunt of it based on other reviews. read more

You think you're going for a fun night out with a mechanical bull and fun atmosphere. Then turns out strippers are on the bar the whole time. Distasteful, and not recommended, save it for the strip clubs and bring back just a fun country bar read more

Please avoid this bar. If I had read the reviews ahead of time, my friend and I never would have come here. The incident started when we were waiting in line to ride the mechanical bull. After waiting for a while, a couple cut in front of us. When I finally spoke up and said it wasn't okay, I was immediately grabbed by the bouncers without any explanation and told to leave. My biggest concern is that they put their hands on me right away without saying anything. I'm a fairly small woman, and the situation felt very scary and unnecessary. After looking back at other reviews, I realized similar things have happened here before. Long story short, this place does not feel safe. I regret not pressing charges, because grabbing someone and causing physical harm without cause is unacceptable. read more

Seem like a cool place but watch out for the security they are just itching for a fight even if you aren't doing anything wrong. They kicked me out cause I hurt one's ego. read more

I came to Seattle for a work trip. I was assaulted by the security at this location. The "security" shoved a metal door open (when I was asking for help due to a fight going on outside) and resulted in my eye socket being crushed. The door hit me right in the face. The security guard then laughed and walked back inside, with me on the floor severely injured in my right eyebrow. Jason Powell, the manager, showed me the footage and admitted the security guard used more than excessive force and would be put on suspension. Upon requesting for medical compensation, Jason refused and decided to want to take the legal route of a subpoena, lawsuit, etc -- regardless of the clear (and many angles) of the assault I endured. DO NOT GO! Also, "Fletch" is another loose cannon. This establishment will be hearing from my attorney & police. read more

Cowgirls - Injury from the security - Sports Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I had my birthday celebration with about 20+ people and had tables reserved for my party, they gave us 2 complimentary champagne bottles, as well as an amazing server who was so sweet and super fast!! The staff, bouncers, and manager were all very kind and everyone who came said they had a great night there! I definitely recommend hosting a party/get together at Cowgirls! Email them in advance to get a table reserved, they answered quickly and were super helpful with all my questions! Thanks again for such a great night! read more

Absolutely unacceptable experience. I was excited for a fun night and "Fledge" the bouncer took my ID and told me I'd have to call the police to get it back, despite me being of legal age. He didn't even offer me the chance to provide another form of identification. This led to a completely unnecessary 911 call, which could have taken resources away from a real emergency. I told him I needed my ID for my flight back home because I am not from Seattle and he did not even give me a chance to speak. Extremely awful experience. Would not recommend this place unless you want to have a negative vibe the whole night. read more

Such a great place! Just like coyote ugly with bartenders having a dance on the bar top in between working the bar and super girl friendly. I don't understand the bad ratings of this place as I had no problems there with my group of friends that include guys. It is a dive bar with a mechanical bull. They do have designated spots to dance so that there's flow of people moving around. Lots of security so I felt safe and they mean business so don't get in their way and let them do their job of keeping the place safe. read more

Cowgirls was an awful experience. The bouncers were on a power trip talking down to people, acting superior, and treating guests like they didn't matter. We were singled out for no clear reason, and it genuinely came across as racial profiling. Instead of being professional, they were rude and dismissive when asked for an explanation. A place open to the public should never treat people like that. I won't return and I don't recommend it. read more

5 stars for the doorman Kellen, we are from out of town and he helped us with getting a Uber to our Airbnb safely, we chatted with him for a while outside and he is probably the best thing about the whole bar. read more

This can go on the list for a bachelorette party if you are in for a fun time. Their major highlight is of course the mechanical bull. They have some games around the place like pool and other video games. It's a fun place. The drinks were good. Don't go with high standards for food in a bar. But food was decent which was finger food. The service is really good. read more

Came in on a Thursday night and the employee grabbed my waist to forcefully move me out of his way so I pushed his arm off me, grown man yells at me "I work here get the f out of my way" and pushes me. I don't recommend coming here! Trashy place no respect for women which shows in the men they hire read more

I genuinely wish I could give this place zero stars. What happened here was unprofessional and dangerous. My fiancé's friend was being asked to leave (for reasons still unclear), and when my fiancé simply asked why, he was shoved down the stairs at the entrance by staff. In the heat of the moment, he threw a can ( he regretted this immediately) but instead of handling the situation responsibly, staff escalated it even further by throwing him outside and punching him in the head twice. I was in the bathroom during the incident, and when I came out and asked what happened, the staff conveniently left out the fact that they had put hands on him first and punched him after the fact. They clearly knew they were in the wrong and were trying to cover for each other. We called the police, but unfortunately, there was nothing they could do, and it felt like justice just slipped through the cracks. This place is unsafe, the staff is aggressive, and if this is how they handle conflict, I seriously fear for anyone else who walks through their doors. I will never return, and I strongly urge others to think twice before going here. read more

My review is for the security guard working Saturday night 10/18! I had slipped in the rain and my knees were bleeding so we had pulled over to stop at the Cowgirls front door to ask for a bandaid. There was no line, but the main security guard/bouncer let us in and made sure i got antiseptic wipes & clean bandaids before we headed back out. So kind and went out of his way to help. read more

All of my belongings were stolen here on a night out after the NFL. Thankfully they have appeared a while later and the staff are posting them back to me- thanks. read more

THIS PLACE IS TRANSPHOBIC! Please do not support this business, my friends and I went here and one of my friends (a cis female) had an issue when trying to go to the bathroom: The girls bathroom was being blocked and she asked some dudes in line if she could use the boys bathroom really quick and they said yes. (This is something I have done plenty of times at other Seattle bars without issue). Then a worker came up to her and threatened to kick her out if she went into the mens room. Her and the other dudes argued with him about gender and he was like if your ID doesn't match your gender you cant use the bathroom. CLEAR TRANSPHOBIA. She didn't feel safe and she has the privilege of being a cis female. So please do not support this business!!!! read more

We visited Cowgirls as part of a crawl and it is a great place. Our huge group shows up with our discount coupons and even with 2-3 deep at the bar for a bit the service was excellent as were the drinks. read more

Just wanted to give a shoutout to the security team. Destinee, Randy, and Kellen were all so attentive and add so much value to the ambiance and value of safety. read more

blad headed guy is super nice. so helpful all night so nice do spree coat je love him to the end drinks were good would 10/10 come back

Do not recommend this place solely due to the risk of getting attacked by security. I spent a good amount of money buying drinks and had a great time dancing and watching the football game. The bar staff were really friendly and made good drinks. After about an hour at Cowgirls, my friends were inexplicably told to leave and when I asked why they were being removed the security guy told me I also had to leave. When I got to the stairs by the entrance I was thrown down them and knocked into the door really hard. After this happened I regretfully responded by throwing a can at the security guy in self defense. After that I was pushed out into the sidewalk and punched multiple times in the head. I have two huge swollen spots on my head. Cops came and told me there is only so much they can do in this situation and basically told me they are allowed to hurt people. After looking this place up on yelp there seems to be a patter of the security staff escalating situations and assaulting patrons. read more

We were visiting from out of town and had a group of 14 girls for my bachelorette! It was super crowded when walking in, but we were so well taken care of as a group! They let us dance on a table all night where we had a drink server and the bouncer PJ was SO nice to all my girls! He was looking out for us all night and let me (the bride) dance on the actual bar for a song. Highly recommend if you're going to celebrate a bday or bachelorette. read more

Cowgirls - The sweetest bouncer! - Sports Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Ugh. I am torn between giving Cowgirls two or three stars. I had fun with all with my friends here on a Saturday night, but there were some major issues with this place that just makes me upset when I think about it all over again. My friends and I came here on a Saturday night and it was 80's-themed music, so gotta love that! Staff was super friendly and we enjoyed the fun, lively atmosphere. Plus, there's a mechanical bull here, so that always makes for an interesting time. The issues we experienced here were the food and drinks. Since we were here for a themed pub crawl, they expected our crowd, so offered a drink special, which was a specific shot. When we asked about what went in the shot, the bartender literally said, "A little bit of this and a little bit of that." She wanted it to come across as intriguing which it did; so we all ordered a shot of it. Come to find out later, the shot was not even a freaking shot. It was less than half a shot and it tasted like fruit punch; where was the booze? What a waste of money. When we ordered well drinks, we saw that the cup size was smaller than the water cups. Lame. And even though you don't necessarily come here for the food, it should still be edible. We had the buffalo chicken wings, which were drenched in so much sauce that I couldn't stand eating another. Yuck! Come here for the fun times that you'll make yourself since they'll stiff you on drinks (and food). Drink beforehand, dance to the music (especially if you like country music, which they're known for) and ride the mechanical bull! read more
