We had a Celebration of Life for my Son at the Cowboy Club. I was very impressed with their hospitality and service & Ambiance.

Showed up at 5:30. Sign on door says after 7:30 you must have an ID to enter. No worries. Just here to grab some dinner. We will be gone by then. Entered and was immediately asked by bartender for ID. Told the bartender my wife was not carrying her ID. Bartenders response was she needed to check "the list" against our ID. What list? Realized we had no recourse, so we left and ate elsewhere. One chance and we're done. read more

Not very welcoming, or friendly folks, cracks in the walls you can see the outside. Not a fan of it at all.

LGBTQ+ couples should be aware My girlfriend and I went to this bar last night, and unfortunately, we left feeling singled out and unwelcome. When we first arrived, the owner did not have any issue with us. It wasn't until she realized that my girlfriend is a woman and that we were a couple that her behavior toward us changed. After that, she repeatedly gave us extremely dirty looks and shook her head at us from across the bar. Eventually, she came over specifically to us and told us that we were being "disrespectful" and "fondling" each other. We were singled out from the rest of the bar, and we were not causing a disturbance or bothering anyone. If the establishment has rules about physical affection, those rules should be applied consistently to everyone. Being approached and reprimanded only after the owner realized we were a same-sex couple felt discriminatory and made us extremely uncomfortable. We ultimately decided to leave rather than continue spending our money somewhere we felt unwelcome. I'm leaving this review because I think LGBTQ+ customers deserve to know about our experience before deciding whether they want to support this business. read more

Excellent staff, extremely clean, great prices, good drinks, pool table, darts, live music on Fridays, fantastic bbq style food, and a couple new slot machines. Greatly appreciate the owners do not put up with nonsense. Thank you for such a great establishment. read more

Cowboy Club - Brisket sandwhich - Bars Near Me - Van Alstyne, Texas

Best small town bar! The bartender was very friendly, I believe she said she's the owner's daughter. We were there in the middle of the day so they weren't busy. We sat at the bar and chatted with one local patron and the cook who came out when he overheard us bragging about the delicious food! I had the brisket sandwich which was amazing and hubby had the patty melt. Needless to say we'll go back! read more

Staff is aggressive and acts out of line. Made it a not fun environment and felt threatened. Would not recommend.

Stopped in during a motorcycle ride and had a delicious burger cooked just right. It's a cool little bar, very welcoming patrons with friendly waitresses. Check out the bear wrestling photo album at the end of the bar. read more

Always a good time with some good people and all around solid prices. The spot of Van Alstyne for sure!

The owners are all great people with nothing but good intentions. They keep the place friendly and dont allow any type of fighting or bickering. Probably the best food I've had anywhere locally, and by far the best burgers I've had in a long time. My personal favorite is the spicy chicken quesadilla! If you're looking for a cozy, safe, and reliable home town bar, this is the place for you read more

Food Service was amazing. Customer service was 110% on point. Great atmosphere, definitely a place I would love to come back to. Good selection on drinks. If you haven't checked this place out, I would highly recommend it 10 out of 10 read more

Love this little bar. Like family home away from home . Always a good time and laughs . Great service and food is amazing. Always feel safe and having lots of fun. Sandy and John Mandy are awesome ! read more

When I moved to Van Alstyne, I must admit that I was nervous to go in. I was afraid it would be a very clickish (sp?), white Texans only kind of place. Boy was I wrong. These people are as inclusive as they come and helped me feel more at home and a part of the Van Alstyne community than any other establishment in town Momma Sandy (the owner) does run a tight ship. She has learned from years in the business that certain things create tension - such as using the F word or disrespecting anyone, especially a lady, etc. And tension and alcohol don't mix well. So, yes, they run a tight ship and I appreciate that If you're going to order food, may I suggest the bacon cheese burger and onion rings. I now will NOT order a hamburger anywhere else. Yes, the wait can sometimes be a bit sometimes but that's only because they have a small kitchen and are carefully crafting each order exactly the way you want it If your desire is to step back in time to an old honky tonk when they were the community watering hole and not a commercial reenactment of one, this is your place read more

Great experience with great service. Highly recommend. This place feels genuine and realistic.

Been going to the CBC for more than four years. This is a family owned establishment, with old school values. There is no fighting allowed, no loud cussing and the Burgers are OUTSTANDING. Always a cold beer to have, friendly to bikers and cowboys alike, and all are welcomed like family if you treat others with respect. Can't say enough good things about this small town atmosphere and group of people. read more

Found this bar online and heard good things about it. Online it's listed as open until 12am. It was 11pm so I was just gonna have a beer and go home. My first visit and when I walk in at 11:15pm the owner tells me "state law says I can't serve you anything" motions for me to leave and turns off the open sign. Total waste of my time and gas. If you can't serve anything after 11. Put that online! read more

Best cowboy club I've been to in a really long time. The place starts out slow and mellow and winds up to a full blown honky-tonk at night. Has indoor and outdoor seating with a couple of arcade game to play and two pool tables that are FREE. What a deal. The alcohol flows nicely at this bar with its happy friendly patrons and incredibly talented bartenders. They have a few basic beers on tap. The bar was pretty decent size. Easy to order drinks. Great live country music with a stage and dance floor that get wild later into the evening. The food was basic bar food but wonderful. I had a burger and some fries. The burger had on of the fattest patties I have ever seen. I will definitely be coming back to this cowboy club joint. I had a really great time here and the staff was lovely.. read more

See all

It took 45 minutes for a burger that wasn't cooked the way they said. It was cold when it finally got to me and the fries felt like ice. The person behind the counter was too busy laughing with a friend to see to anyone else's needs. read more

Everyone that is ever served to me has been wonderful. The prices are beyond less expensive than most establishments! I really enjoyed JONATHAN and his wife Mandy. The conversation was really uplifting and inspiring! read more

Great fun place. Owner and Staff are great. Everyone friendly and met a lot of wonderful friends. Clean and feel safe.

One of the best around, make sure you don't skip this place. Good people, drinks, and food!

We arrived late afternoon about 6pm It was empty besides the bartender He scanned my ID to join some club. I had a beer and my girlfriend (she became a member too) had a coke. She later said her coke was flat. My beer was cold and tasted good. We ordered a cheeseburger and a CBC burger and we both enjoyed them. When we ordered the burgers I mentioned that my GF likes her burger cooked rare. He said he doesn't do rare - she seemed to like it anyway. We had 1 order of fries They were good & hot. The place was a nice temperature maybe a lil on the chilly side. The service was ok & the price is quite reasonable. No music was playing there was a baseball game on a TV. read more

Thanks Sandy, Dante, & Jonathan. Love the look and feel of the bar now. Especially the NO SMOKING!!

My husband and I have been to this bar a couple of times and we have nothing but good things to say. It's a small little bar where everybody knows everybody, everyone's there to have a good time and make friends. It's the genuine atmosphere of a good old small-town country bar. We love going and enjoying the company as well as the staff because they are also friendly. Mama's place is the best place. read more

We love the CBC. Great atmosphere, amazing people, reasonably priced food and drinks! 10/10

My husband and I moved out here about 6 months and were missing our local bar until we found this place. We went for a drink and the bartenders, Dante and DJ, we nice. The owner, Mama, is friendly and takes care at of everyone. Love this place. Feels like home away from home. We are going to miss it when we have to move again. read more
