The bartender was amazing I never caught his name but he made all of our drinks really good, he even had some good recommendations for us. The drinks are not too expensive either read more

I love this bar It's my kind of place... We live in a small town and this place caters to locals and out-of-towners. They have live music, a touch tune music and an open mic night. The owner, Charlie, is so sweet, but won't take any bullshit! There are regulars, regularly sitting right up at the bar. They laugh, crack jokes, play dice, and welcome locals that aren't regulars. They have live keno and the regs will let you know how to play and help you out. This is my town and this is my bar!!!! read more

The cow track is a classic Oakdale spot where everybody knows each other. On any given Friday or Saturday night I can walk in and find at least one person I know. The owner, Charlie, is a nice, no-nonsense man who pours strong drinks and the other bartenders are just as friendly. On occasion they have live bands play on Fridays and during football season they do potlucks. The jukebox is great and they now have an outdoor area where you can bring your drinks out! read more

If you're of legal drinking age in Oakdale or its border towns...you've probably been to Cow track right? There's something about this place. I'm not sure if its the shuffleboard table, the bartender that looks like Tom Green or the really awesome tables made out of giant lacquered tree stumps...whatever it is, its fun. My husband has worked for the same company in Oakdale for about four years now and his work Christmas parties, or work birthday parties end up at Cow Track 99% of the time! We always have a great time. read more

Visited this place on a Sunday night, the place was DEAD. only me and 2 others. The owner I'm assuming was our bartender, and was very friendly. We ordered a few drinks, and had the bar too ourselves. They have shuffle board here which seemed cool. Never played before. IF i was ever back in the area (my aunt lives near by) and wanted to go out, I would probably come back, I heard it gets pretty fun on a weekend night, when there are actually people there. lol They also sell jerky here, which is yummy. read more

Best "scene" in Oakdale. Stop by on Wednesday's "Open Mic" night where you will be surprised to find a surging bluegrass revival amongst the younger musician folk. Or check your local listings for random shows by Oakdale's favorite bluegrassers: The Good Luck Thrift Store Outfit Band...it's some awfully good a pickin' and a singin'. Classic Oakdale. read more

Great country bar! Mixed crowd of young (newly 21) and old (mid-50) people. Wasn't crowded and we were there from 10:30 to midnight. Don't count on the security guard for diffusing a fight. read more

To H-B or to Cowtrack, that is the question when going out in Oakdale. Although there is 50% chance you will end up making an appearance at the Track, I often sway from spending too much time here. Why? I think its the space - I mean, New Deal, Cost less whatever right next door? That has always kind of messed with my mind when trying to chill out here. Although I love the large tables, the juke box and the large smoking area - I mainly find myself thinking that I'm in a van down by the river. However, this is still 3 stars for the Oakdizzle! Im pretty sure the owner is friends with my dad, grandma, and everyone else that is oakdale. Its like clockwork, I will be here again, and again, and again, like it or not :) read more

The best bar in Oakdale!!!!

Medium-ish locals bar featuring country-western in the reputed cowboy capital of California. It's a fun time. You'll find a mix of posh youngins and older regulars mingling and mixing. We came here with some friends from the area to see Lazy Train (Bluegrass) and had an awesome time. Beers go from 3.50-4.00 bucks but the bar is fully loaded. read more

reasonably priced drinks and shuffleboard? keystone in cans? One of the few things I miss now that I live in LA. fun mix of old and young patrons, charlie does a good job keeping the place at the center of the local nightlife. Live music. read more

I called in to find out about the boxing fight that's on tonight and whomever answered the phone was disrespectful and down right rude... When he recommended where to see it, I explained I was trying to find a place that wasn't chronic a cover fee. He said everyone has to because of the 1000.00 dollar fee to watch it.. I made a statement "that's weird because they are not charging that kind of fee on ESPN+" then he states them "STAY HOME AND WATCH IT!!!" I'm sorry but that was uncalled for. And to have no hesitation in thos comments, really! I hope they don't get any business tonight or any other night.. I'm a timetable where just about everyone is trying to overcharge and take every bit of money they can is out wrong for me, a disabled veteran to try and find a place to take my family for a family night out as cost efficient as possible without being confronted with this type of behavior.. That person had no business being apart of customer service.. If that guy would have gone through what I've gone through only to have gotten as little money as I have then he to would be trying to save as much as possible... What a jerk to make me feel like I'm some kind of cheapskate.. There was a time when you could take your family to places like this and not be treated like a bankroll.. If you're a company wasting to get a sporting event for your patrons great good for you but if you're doing it and just charging for it, then shame on you.. What are you going to stop charging if you get all your money back for the event.. "I don't think so".. So therefore you wouldn't be doing it for your customers, just doing it to take our money.. For that is the reason everything costs so much and you can't just take your family out for a fun night out... Any ways.. To the SIR that disrespected me on the phone I hope you have a shitty day.. read more
