I don't care if you think cowboys is a dump.
Mostly because it IS a dump, but that doesn't mean it can't be fun.
It's the all high and mighty attitude that because you think cowboys is a dump you're better than everyone who goes there that's annoying.

I never said that dumps can't be fun. Hell I go to Rips all the time.

I just hate that A LOT of people think Cowboys isn't a dump. As long as you're honest about it and realize that it is an overhyped dump then that is cool.

Well seeing as I'm trying desperately to procrastinate I took the time to read some of the bios. I'm a big fan of Sam:

Favorite Stampede Memory: Dancing topless on the bar.
Somebody famous you met at Cowboys: Doug Reinardt. We hooked up twice and now he's dating Paris Hilton.
Goals: Naked News, Sunshine Girl 2x, and I hope to be in Playboy or Maxim one day.

Well, at least she's got goals. And Doug used her not only once, but twice. Be proud Sam, be proud.

I have never met another human being that liked Cowboys. I know a few people who don't hate it as much as I do, but never met anyone who likes the place.

I have absolutely no idea how or why Cowboys is popular. The place is a dump, the women are fake (and no hotter than any other bar in Calgary).

There is absolutely no redeeming factors to Cowboys. None. Zero. The place is a whole and they play bad bad music.

Cowboys is what it is. I haven't ever been to the new location, and I don't think I went to the old one for the last year or two it was open, but I went all the time when I was 17-19 and loved it. I'd never go now, but I get why some people like it.

From what Ive been told, the girls who worked at cowboys would always sleep with the bouncers, DJs, owners.

Wow, that's pretty depressing. Do you think she's actually that pathetic or just came up with that "bio" to help sell the show?

I dont get the hate for this place.

Its not my number 1 place to go but I have been there a few times and enjoyed myself.

I predict this webshow will do well. Mildly attractive women + boob jobs + acting sluttyer gets you better tips + skimpy clothes is always a revenue generator.

And sleeping with the managers and owners will get you up the ladder fast. This goes not only for bars but any restaurant.

Anyways, I thought Cowboys shut down years ago?

Hey at least the 'Dogfather' is right outside...

Not really...they just moved from down-own to the old Coyotes location (Olympic Way)

I haven't been there since they moved, but I guess they re-modeled the old Coyotes location to look just like the old down-town "original" Cowboys location.

I'd be interested to see if they show any of the move, what was done, etc, etc...sadly I know they won't.

Having been to Cowboys in the past, and having a good buddy who bartended there back then, I'd say that she's without a doubt that pathetic.

having at one time in my life worked in a penny lane venue for 3 years (don't judge, it was a restaurant that wasn't as seedy as cowboys) and having met many fellow penny laners, there is a group that i aptly titled 'penny lane whores', who were just that, whores for anything to do with penny lane. they think they're the creme de la creme because they work for penny lane and that it makes them seemingly more 'cultured' than the other 99% of the city because they can get discounts at penny lane venues that are 'cool' such as tantra and some of these restaurants. they were also aptly named such because of their inability to treat it simply as work, and the subsequent over-dedication to the company and the ensuing lifestyle...

every cowboys employee i've encountered is one of these people. so yes, that bio is dead serious and not built up for the show. it's where you work to get noticed for those types of things because there's a lot of networking opportunities within penny lane for that type of stuff...

Are you sure the women are that dirty? I work out at the same gym with one of the servers that works there and we chat sometimes - she skanks it up at the gym and I dont go there to pick up women but she doesnt seem that way, at least on an outward appearance. Anything is possible I guess.

I found the women at the Cowboys in Edmonton to be far more attractive and less "this boob job makes me look hot cause you arent looking at my face". Just IMO of course.

Which places are owned by Penny Lane? And Penny Lane is owned by that guy Vickers, right? (can't remember his first name)
He must be doing something right if he's got a legion of girls that do his bidding.

Ceili's, Cowboys, Tantra, Coyotes (now gone), Chicago Chophouse (I think??), Zen 8 (I think??)... I think there's probably more.

My husband's cousins worked at Ceili's (maybe still do). To me it all sounded a bit ridiculous, but the partiers in the family (i.e. other cousins) thought it was basically the coolest thing on earth to go and hang out with them and all the other Ceili's people.
