I was sitting for about 15 mins before being approached, prior to someone helping me i had to call out to 2 different security guys to get them to point a server to my table, finally redhead shorty came and handled, she got me right, cool interactions with staff, chicken tenders were fire and beer was cold. Glad i stayed. read more

I met friends at Tequila Cowboy for drinks and to see some live music. I liked the stage area as it was good to see and hear the band. There is a decent bar area. Our server was around to take drink orders several times. read more

Been here twice when I'm in town for a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game. Stopped in for a racing game and luckily found a seat even though the place was packed. Really just went here to get a drink and order of pierogies which I really enjoy here. Don't get the Pittsburgh very often, but when I do, these pierogies are a must for me. read more

You have to scan your ID and you can't bring in an unopened bottle of water. Even PNC lets bottles in. Took my business one bar over. No issues. Won't be back. read more

We stopped in during draft weekend and were pleasantly surprised by this place. Not only did they have delicious margaritas but the food was well above expectations. I had the Nashville hot sandwich(not too hot but great flavor) and my wife had the pulled pork sandwich. Fries were great as well. Our server was amazing as a bonus. read more

If you can snag a table in the back karaoke bar on a weekend or game day/night, this is definitely a fun spot to be. A group of us came in after a Pirates game on a Saturday night and were lucky enough to get two tables next to each other. We ordered a bunch of food and drinks and the service was quick, considering how busy they were. The food was great for bar food. I loved the crispy thick toasted bread on the brisket melt. The sandwich was loaded with tender brisket and cheese and the fries were a table favorite. The chicken quesadilla was as expected and definitely hit the spot after hours in the sun. Karaoke was great background entertainment. read more

This place is amazing. I was there yesterday while we waited for the Pittsburgh pirates game to start. First I'll start with the food. I got, a plain cheese burger and fries. There fries are absolutely amazing, id choose there fries over any other food. And the burger was delicious. (Perfectly cooked). Now the bathroom. I was very very surprised that's these bathrooms were the cleanest bathrooms I've ever been in. They have a huge stage and little LED light stages to dance on. The have a huge bar in there too! Now service. The ladies that took care of my drinks-food-etc. was so nice. They were so kind!! And they have a indoor to eat and a outdoor that's covered and not covered! Next time I hear "we are going to another pirates game!" I know where I'm getting my food again!! read more

It's not my vibe for going out but I've had a couple of fun times out here without it being overly packed or overwhelming. I also recently had a casual dinner and apps here with friends and their nachos & wings were amazing!! Super large sports bar, popular after sporting events in the North Shore. Miss the bull, but understand it was a liability. Love all the different rooms they have for karaoke and such. One time had a room to ourselves (me and my 4 friends, plus 5-6 other strangers) it was such a good time read more

Bartenders working on the night of 4/24/25 stole my credit card and cut it up because it had a flyers logo on it then lied to me about it saying they don't take credit cards when I never got my card back after paying for 1 drink. Staff is nothing but a bunch of scammers and robbers who live in poverty who are just looking to steal from there guests. My buddy 2 hours later (who I wasn't even with at the time) even got told not to come in because he was too intoxicated when he wasn't even drinking!!! Lmao absolutely terrible place to go way too many places on the north shore and downtown to go to then here. Don't ever go here ever. read more

Service was quick! Food and drinks are good. We went at 5:30pm on a Saturday and it was pretty dead but perfect read more

Visiting from San Diego and had an unforgettable experience at Tequila Cowboy Bar and Grill in Philadelphia thanks to John. My family and I were there celebrating my niece's White Coat Ceremony, a very special milestone, and John went above and beyond from beginning to end. I asked John if he could deliver a note to the singer on stage to honor my niece and also arrange a special treat for her. He didn't hesitate. He made everything happen seamlessly and with genuine care. What could have been a simple night out turned into a meaningful and memorable celebration because of him. John's service was attentive, thoughtful, and exceptional. He truly understands what hospitality is about and made our family feel valued and celebrated. He absolutely deserves to be recognized and honored for the quality of service he provides. I will definitely be back whenever I'm in town, and it will be because of John. He is AMAZING!! read more

Best bar in the city so much fun for game days and everything else best waitress and bartenders

This is a very popular spot -- it's located very near Stage AE and the stadiums, so it gets pretty crowded after concerts and sporting events. Students from the local universities come here all the time. There are bars and ice carts with beers + seltzers all over the place. The main room has a pretty big dance floor, and there is another room with karaoke + some outdoor space. You'll probably have to wait to order at the bar, but not longer than any other bar. One thing I will say is that staff is all over you from the moment you walk in. I've never felt like I was being babysat so much. There are attendants in the bathroom, which helps keep it clean and stocked and keep things moving, so it was nice in that regard. And I understand they don't want there to be long lines or have people crowding there. But it made it tough to keep track of everyone in our group when we were constantly being shooed out of hallways and away from doors and alcoves -- pretty much the only place they just let you be is in the middle of the crowded floor. Overall not really my vibe, but it was fine. read more

If you're looking for the worst chicken sandwich in Pittsburgh you found the place. The food smelled and tasted like crap. Service was good. Ambiance was pretty good for my favorite sports bar. read more

The bartender was not trained properly, didn't know how to communicate with patrons. She was too busy flaunting her goods, due to nervousness coupled with scariness ! read more

Originally I thought this bar was way out of our age group but we decided to try it out while bar hopping with some girlfriends in north shore a few weeks ago let me tell you we had a blast! Danced and sang karaoke! The bathroom line for the ladies room took about an hour that was my only complaint we almost peed ourselves. The bartenders at the top made us feel like we fit right in with the rest of the 20 something crowd I don't remember their names but they both had blonde colored hair very sweet girls we would absolutely make another trip down for our next occasion read more

This review is 100% for "security" staff Kevin who was working the wannabe's karaoke area. At about 12 am I used a bar stool to rest my foot while tying it and Keving very aggressively took issue with this and put his hands on me. I love this bar and I'm never in town so I was y about to leave but Kevin is a piece of shit employee and needs to chill. Any acknowledgment or apology I'll fix this review but Kevin is probably the only thing wrong with cowboy now. You suck kevin take a chill pill read more

Came into town for the weekend, tried this place for dinner. The food was okay at best. I had the Diablo Pasta which wasn't really all that hot, & my fiancé had the Cowboy Mac & Cheese which she said lacked flavor. It was okay, but the food isn't this place's strong point. Service was great! Very attentive & friendly. Fantastic. The place is very well done. 3) separate bars, plenty of tv's. Nice vibe. Usually a college crowd, but not obnoxious. Prices were reasonable considering the location. Definitely worth checking out. read more

This place is so fun to go to with friends. It's more for the college crowd but it's still fun for older people. It gets Hella crazy though. The food is pretty good and the drinks are decently priced not too crazy for Pittsburgh. I love the fact there are multiple bars within the bar itself.... especially wannabes which is a karaoke bar! Must go if you love to sing! read more

Came in before a Steelers preseason game and the place was electric. They had a live band who was good. We came in after there set started and they never gave their name while we were there. The drinks were balanced well and there was plenty of police officers and security because this place can get a little rowdy. Our server was fantastic as we sat up by the tequila bar even though she was completely slammed. We had already had dinner but we ordered the pretzel app and it was solid. The highlight was while the country band was playing the Steel Line came in and took over when they finished a song. The band on stage had absolutely no idea that 35 drummers and a couple of horn players were going to take over. The place lost its mind and the band was recording everything for their socials. Hey, it's game day on the North Shore. The place is built to be what you think a country music bar is and has become. It's always a good time here. read more

Stopped by here after the Pirates game. We really enjoyed the outdoor patio and our service was prompt and quick. The drinks were solid and it was nice to get in and out of here quickly based on our plans. read more

Honestly, if you just fired that one blonde bartender I swear to you you'd get more customers. You're going to have a bartender representing your business that truly hates working there as it seems. Everything was lovely except for her. She had a black headband on. I'm sure I don't need to go into more detail on who she is, I know she's a problem for your business read more

Did not order Food but drinks, service and crowd great for game day. Would recommend checking it out. Was visiting from another state.

We dined in the night of a concert at Stage AE and it was packed and they were understaffed. The waitresses did their best but the service was terribly slow and the food was mediocre at best. They ran out of french fries and just substituted chips without telling us. I would recommend stopping in for a drink but I would eat someplace else. Good ambiance for young crowd but we all miss the bull! read more

This place is extremely racist. I'm mixed and they watched me the entire time and on my way out thought I was going to steal some money. I have my own money and could care less about yours. I was looking for a good time with my friend singing karaoke and they ruined it. I'll never go back to this racist place. read more

It is mu favorite place to go out in Pittsburgh. There's usually a good atmosphere on a Friday or Saturday night. Drinks are good in general, I am not sure about the food because I've never eaten there. The service is pretty good except when it gets really busy. Just be careful going there on new years eve. Last NYE was super crowded. read more

Food is so eclectic Burgers 10/10 Nachos 10/10 from what i heard Chicken fences tho 1000/10 big marg also rly good read more

Love coming in to tequila cowboy always a good time it never fails to amaze me had great service (besides being shooed from the bathroom hallway for waiting) and the chicken tenders are thick and delicious Kayla and Emma are my favorite bartenders they always make sure I have a full drink always kind to me which in return keeps me coming in to see them almost every weekend if they are working different bars I always make a point to say hello to both of them throughout the night overall great bar mostly a younger crowd but you see all ages read more

I simply have no reason to give this place below 5 stars, however - keep in mind I'm writing this review from a lunch/beverage kind of visit and not their typical club night they had let's say before the pandemic. I've gone here on those kind of nights a year or so ago and it is HECTIC with some bad and good bartenders . Anyway, back to our luncheon - we came in March as the pandemic slowly comes to an end, (hopefully): -ID checked when you walk in - they don't require the customers to wear masks but they certainly encourage it - find your own table (can't sit at the bar but they have high tops pushed up against it ) - employees all wearing masks - sanitizer stations at different spots in the building All in all - this was an awesome experience . Watched the penguin game while enjoying some jumbo margaritas (picture submitted in this review ). Bartenders / servers were super busy on a Saturday afternoon yet they were still SUPER accommodating and pleasant ! I am a bartender myself and I know how quickly your mood can unfortunately change when you feel busy and overly stressed . These ladies still held a positive attitude . Great afternoon with the hubby , thanks tequila cowboys . read more

~~~ Wanna B's Karaoke Bar inside TC ~~~ 10pm - 7 people ahead of me. I can see the list. There's 8 of us. 11pm - 7 people ahead of me. Ok cool let's change the song then since it's taking so long... (We both know I got bumped but whatever maybe he thought I was gonna be trash?) Lose Control by Teddy Swims? - "I don't have a karaoke version" This is what heartbreak feels like by jvke - "I don't have that either" 11:45ish - Asked if it was still 7 since it's been 2 hours since I signed up. Staff asked my name, I was irritated and said I was gonna head out. Cooled off and was like you know what? I wanna know why. Went in and asked dude why he wanted to know. "First, no reason to be a dick but I could get you up next." Ok one, how is that not shitty of this dude and wouldn't you be a dick right now? and two, why do I have to complain to get up there? It's been 2 hours. "What probably happened was 20 people came up and gave him money." So I gotta bribe you to sing? I would've had more than two drinks so everyone's losing money, esp the bartenders, and I won't be coming back. "Look how many people are here bro." I gotcha, so you don't need my money and don't care if I come back. "Not really but I'll get you next." Got that pity play - and the DJ stopped the track mid song I mentioned it on a Facebook group and apparently this is pretty par for the course there (and only there,) so that's cool. Other thing of note: Had to use the restroom and there's an attendant staring at his phone. One stall was dirty, another had piss alllll over, the third was manageable but the seat cover dispenser was kicked in and empty and $8.50 for a vodka redbull with cheap vodka so that's cool... Called and spoke with a manager. She was not about that life and apologized. She was very disappointed in the staff member. She also said that this situation was an issue they tried to resolve by getting a new KJ because old reviews are based on a guy they had problems with, and she's very disappointed to learn this happened. She said she will discuss with staff, manager, and KJ and hopes to see me back. read more

Bring. Back. The. Bull. Is what my friends told me to include in this review. This was my first time coming here after hearing non stop "tequila cowboy this, tequila cowboy that." After having gone, I can't say it quite lived up to the hype, but that may be a personal opinion. I'm really not big on dancing, but if you are then this place is for you. There are at least two dance floors from what I got to explore. The energy is very dance bar-esque (I can hear how stupid I sound in saying this) and if you are in the market for that then this is the place. I do think the addition (or re-addition, rather) of a mechanical bull would make this place more appealing to more people. Overall, this was alright. Not sure I'd become a regular here, but there's a time and a place for everything. And for those times and places there is Tequila Cowboy. read more

Great drinks and friendly bartenders. A bit dark around the bar but they have fire pits outside which makes it nice to sit by and people watch. read more

Honestly the food was really good came here before the steeelrs game for some drinks and some food and honestly the chickens tenders are at the same price point as stadium food and sooo much better. Me lady got the pretzels and those were equally delicious, the quesadillas are pre made so we could not take the chicken out so for me lady's vegetarianism that was hard but that is also on us. HOneslty if you are looking for pre game meal i would recommend this over Mcfaddens, next time i will try the wings so i can do a one to one review. read more

RUDE staff and lack of service, would not recommend. College game day rush just cleared out, walked in sat at an empty bar while the 3 bar tenders just stood in the back corner and chatted... waited a good 10 minutes watching them chat and then walked out. Bouncer was so rude when coming in not like we are young kids, 43 and 70 years old and he was total D! read more

I love this place! One of my fave bars in PGH. Each time I go there is live music. Last night (Friday), got there around 9 pm. There wasn't a cover charge. And the food is pretty good and reasonably priced. It's a good place to watch the games too. I just wish they had better tvs, actual big screen tvs. There 'big' screens are a joke. read more

The music is absolutely terrible. They play the exact playlist in the same order every time. I want to have fun with my friends and listen to good music but it's hard to here...so disappointin. My friend went up to the dj and asked if he could play rap and he said go to mccfaddens lol. read more

It's a cool idea...big place multiple bars...but there's no AC it's so damn hot...so packed...they let way too many people in. Expensive drinks for no reason at all. Honestly. It's so overhyped it's not much fun, Mcfaddens down the street is a much better night scene IMO. Also we got tacos from the taco stand outside at TC...it's literally ground beef and cheese and worse than what I could've made at home lol. With how expensive that place is for drinks n stuff they couldn't even splurge on some pico. Taco rating = 5.4 UPDATE. Do not get the tacos from the stand they have outside. Insane food poisoning today. read more

Im interning in Pittsburgh this summer and Tequila Cowboy had to be the first bar I went to. My first day there was really good, a lot of young people my age and they are strict with ID so there is no under 21 people coming in, which is good. Something I would say about it is that there are a lot, and I mean a lot, of older gentlemen just sitting by themselves. At first I thought it was me and it only weirded me out, but after talking to a couple people they felt the same way. I think it just makes the vibes super weird specially when sitting by themselves next to a group of young girls. read more
