Rodeo Cowboy sports bar brings bikinis and big-screen TVs to Grapevine
Grapevine has roped in a new sports bar in the vein of Twin Peaks, Hooters, et al: Called Rowdy Cowboy, it's a "breastaurant"-style spot with a Western twist newly opened at 1713 Crossroads Dr., along SH 121.
The bar takes over the space most recently occupied by D’Ambrosio’s Pizza, a short-lived deep-dish spot, but has seen a number of concepts cycle through such as Cultural Catch, Roscoe's NY Diner, and The Experience.
Rowdy Cowboy is owned by Curtis Wise and Kevin "Rich" Richardson, industry veterans who previously co-owned Fort Worth locations of the strip clubs Bucks Wild and Bucks Cabaret. (Wise is still an owner of Bucks, but Richardson is no longer involved.)
The sports bar is staffed by scantily-clad women in bikinis with thong-style bottoms and cowboy boots. The bar also has neon signs that say things like "saddle up," as well as logos fire-branded into the wooden bar top. Thus the "Western" theme.
The menu is a Southern and Tex-Mex twist on bar food with wings, brisket-stuffed jalapeños, brisket-stuffed jumbo pickles, and cheese fries. It has random ambitious touches here and there, like serving the onion rings on a horseshoe-shaped dispenser, and dishes like "croissant beignets," a cross between a French and a NOLA dessert.
Plus flautas, street tacos (with a choice of chicken, steak, or brisket), quesadillas, ribs, pork chops, ribeye steak, chicken fried chicken, and country fried steak.
The beer selection is better than your usual sports bar with 32 beers on tap, including IPAs, ambers, and seasonal choices, as well as bottled beers. Cocktails include “Reverse Cowgirl” with cucumber vodka and “The Wrangler,” which is Rowdy Cowboy’s version of a tequila old fashioned.
The bar runs 40 feet long and there are 64 flat-screen TVs throughout the space.
“This is going to be the spot where you want to watch all the sports games,” says Rowdy Cowboy General Manager Julia Smith. “I think we’ll bring some fun, excitement, and entertainment.”
