You don't go to Cowboys to pick up a classy lady.
Cowboys is also the spot where a lot of famous celebrities will go. I told Teemu Selanne he sucked for beating Calgary, met Kevin Costner, Tie Domi, Dion Phaneuf, and drank out of the Grey Cup.
I agree that there are places like Broken City, or Hi-Fi, which actually play good music and the crowd isn't there to get ripped. But you have to remember that each establishment has their place.
One other thing, out of the large nightclubs (Cowboys, Mynt, Tantra, Roadhouse, Whiskey, Coyotes, Back Alley, etc.) Cowboys has the fewest undercover cops on duty, because they have the fewest number of fights. I believe they have 2 cops, whereas some bars have up to 12. They were also the first ones to install metal detectors.

HAHAHA!
Well, to be fair Simmer, you are there about 150 days out of the year, so the chances of you experiencing something cool like that are much higher than your average bar goer, myself included.
That is interesting about Cowboys having the fewest number of fights, do you think it has any link to the way they tend to screen their clientelle?
Edit: Stated differently - Simmer, can you give any insight on the issue whether Cowboys screens their crowds at the door? Specifically, have you had any discussion on the topic with the management you know, or is the topic sort of taboo in those parts?
