    The band
    Anna L.

    This place is literally across the street from the tattoo shop I was getting work done at so we stopped by. It looked like it was going to be empty until we walked inside and saw that the entire place was packed. There was a band playing apparently and we had no clue, we walked in while they were taking a break. We barely found a seat at the bar and were not greeted by either bartender nor did they make eye contact, it was odd. Finally the male bartender asked for our drink order then came back and said the total was $30...for two drinks, I was shocked. Without any explanation or even a hello..turns out he charged us a cover charge for a band we were clueless about...that was not a nice surprise and we ended up leaving before finishing the one drink each. Bad vibes for me and not my style of music either. Way over crowded and unfriendly, unfortunately I do not recommend this place.

    Came here for a date night and loved it so much my boyfriend and I came back for New Year's Eve. Great music, and atmosphere. The owners are a married couple they are very personable, & helpful. If u could give them 10 stars I would.

    Live music - great talent!

    I absolutely loved this place! Perfect little hometown bar that was once an old jail. Great live music on a nightly basis and the happy hour is awesome. Bartenders and patrons were fantastic and I really enjoyed just hanging out chatting with everyone. Owner is also a great guy! I highly recommend stopping by here if you're in town!

    Strong but yummy

    This place use to be a Jail in the 1930's and it has kept the original cell bars which is quite interesting. There is live music there and they play those old Blues which is really smoothing when you're having a couple of drinks. Great customer service from all the bartenders especially Angie, she's very accommodating and makes amazing strong drinks. Also the owners are there as well and they make you feel so welcomed. This place is very laid back, good vibes and plenty of people to chat with. This will be my go to spot from now on.

The bar is clean, along with the restrooms, which have surfboards as handles, which is cute & unique. They also have bar food, which is good. We went to see Al Bettis & his band and they were great! The sound in this bar is very good, no echo just pure sound! They are a tight band! Now let's get to the service... a big HUG shout-out to LOREN!! She became our favorite server as the drinks kept coming, as they should! She is cute, friendly & a good sense of play!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

    I happened to be in Kingwood for my friend's engagement party and decided to stop by Cowboy Surfer…read morefor a night cap. I've been to the original location in Spring Branch, but this was my first time visiting this location. The bar is located in a shopping strip off of 59. Parking is plentiful. Unlike the original location, you do not have to scan your ID (if you've been to the Spring Branch location, then you know what I'm talking about). It was pretty early on a Saturday evening, so it wasn't terribly busy. I sat at the bar. I don't know the bartender's name that served me, but she was nice. I ordered the Kingwood which is a gin based cocktail with cucumber. The drink was fine, but it was a little tart for my preference. A splash of simple syrup would have balanced it out. I did request for it to be less spicy (it has jalapeño in it). They have live music, though when I was there, they didn't have a band playing. They serve typical bar food like burgers, salads, and nachos. The vibe wasn't quite the same as the location in Spring Branch, but it was fine. This is a nice option for craft cocktails in Kingwood.
