Review of TheCowboy Lounge, Denver’s New Country Bar in Lodo
The dÃ?©cor hasn’t changed at all either. It’s still the same faded, poorly painted multi color walls and same sticky floor. It’s still extremely dark unless you are standing by the dance floor. The light show casts just enough light to see the few people dancing. You can just make out the DJ in the booth but this is because he’s wearing a cowboy hat. The bathroom however is a little different, not as much trash and paper towels on the ground and graffiti on the walls. Of course this may have been due to the lack of people in the bar, (Have I mentioned there weren’t many people there??) As I said before the folks working the bar are very nice and mix some pretty good drinks. They do charge a $5 cover on Thursday but that includes all the drinks you can handle till 11:00 pm. Not too shabby unless you actually get there at 10 minutes till 11:00 like we did. For the smokers like me they do have a thin patio out front where you can feel like a loser and puff away. We get the last laugh because as it turns out, it has the best view in the club. Granted it’s of the lucky folks going to Lodo’s Bar and Grill across the street and The Tavern next door. I felt like the last child in an orphanage watching the other kids get picked by new mommies and daddies heading off to a new life while I was left behind, rejected and suicidal. (I wasn’t really suicidal, just really really really depressed). I’ve heard form other folks that it’s much better on other nights. I however think this is much like the existence of a white elephant. It may be true but I’d have to see it to believe it. I don’t think I’ll be spending 2 hours of my life to find out. I’d rather sit at home and watch Project Runway reruns on Bravo. I can’t believe I just admitted that.
