Western Roots? The only time "Cowboys" plays country music is during stampede it is hardly a "country" bar. People in straw cowboy hats and diesel jeans do not make a country club.

Again, I don't get all the hate. Tons of clubs have come and gone but Cowboys has remained successful for 10+ years. They had to move twice because of getting kicked out of their buildings for development not because of lack of business or rowdy behaviour. If you don't like that kind of club there are plenty of other clubs in the city focused on other genres.

Personally, I am too old for the club scene and not a big country fan so it's not my kind of place. That being said, it's a great business model for a nightclub in this city IMO for the 20 something crowd.
