It's not actually closing on the 20th as Papa Roach is playing there on Jan 29th ... Based on most of the responses I've read on this board, I'm clearly in the minority in my opinion about the bar. I think Byron (one of the doormen) is one of the nicer people you'll ever get a chance to meet.
For most of this year, I was a regular and I met some of the most amazing people who just happened to work there. Perception and reality are often very different things and I can honestly say that a large portion of the staff at that bar are awesome.
I have more stories than people likely care to hear ... but MC Hammer and Dennis DeYoung of Styx at Stampede this year were definitely surreal experiences ... 25 cent draft night doesn't really represent the scene at Cowboys because:
1. People have way more to drink than they normally would because it's "cheap"
2. People who wouldn't normally go to Cowboys go because they have "cheap" beer
Anyway, I just felt I needed to add my 2 cents about a place where I met some of my closest friends.
