Cowboys Dance Hall

Trying a bit too hard to be a country concert hall and the upstairs games area was under construction but still an ok place to go if the drinks weren’t crazy priced (stampede pricing??). Plenty of room inside until it’s after midnight. It’s nice you can leave for a bite outside the hall and just walk right back in with a stamp.

The screeners at this place are racist. They denied me re-entry. They stated the picture when i entered the first time is a different person. When i informed him that i left my hat at the car. He called multiple guards to escort me out. Did not listen to my explanation at all. They didn't even refund my purchase. Do not go if you’re a minority!!

Showed up at around 11 the other day, the people I was meeting weren’t there yet so I got in line up to the point where I could see that entry to the dancehall was 30 dollars???? That itself is outrageous. Eventuallly my friends texted me that they were there (they are from Australia and didn’t know where to go) so I stepped out of line and went to the back of the line to wait with them. After finally reaching the door for the second time, the entry had gone up to $40. What an absolute scam. I had to transfer some money over from my savings as I didn’t expect the price to go up within fifteen minutes… and asked if I could just step aside for a second, to which the security guard rudely kept denying me and telling me to get in the back of the line FOR THE THIRD TIME. Not even worth it whatsoever, DJ plays really bad music and it’s overall disappointing. The musical festival is probably the only thing I’ll go to from now on, and even that is a huge money grab. They say the artist/band comes on at 9-9:45 and then they don’t come on stage until 11 at the earliest…they just want you to buy more outrageously priced drinks ($13 a beer) even the drinks on the actual stampede grounds don’t cost that much. Bartenders and other employees are awesome so I feel bad for writing this review, but it’s just really disappointing to see.

⭐ One Star – Because Zero Isn’t an Option** If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to party inside a biohazard site with really shitty country music blasting in the background, welcome to Cowboys Dance Hall. The last time I went, I didn’t just lose my dignity. I lost my footing on a puddle of someone else's vomit conveniently left by the bar like a little *" yeehaw surprise ."* Did staff rush to help? Did anyone care? No. This place is filthier than a gas station bathroom during Stampede. I wouldn’t be surprised if the floor has its own ecosystem by now. If you’re into questionable hygiene, sticky boots, and the faint scent of regret, you’ll love it here.

Had my friend come to my home, sick, and unable to get his coat from coat check (with his house keys in it) at 2:30am with the casino open. They told him no. Who lets someone clearly inebriated go home without their personal items? You don’t know what you’ve checked along with someone’s coat. Very thankful I was awake and he had somewhere to stay. Even more thankful that this wasn’t a woman being left without her keys in the middle of the night

I don’t normally leave reviews, but my last experience at Cowboys Dance Hall crossed a line. The bouncer pocket pooled me, seriously, and was coming on way too strong. As a man, I rarely say this, but I genuinely felt unsafe. There’s a difference between doing your job and invading someone’s space, and this was far beyond that. On top of that, they’ve taken away the community skatepark just to set up their music festival. That’s not just inconvenient, it’s a huge slap in the face to the local community. There were so many other options for where to host the event. Honestly, you could have pocket pooled me again and I would have been fine with it compared to this. Stop holding the skatepark hostage. Give the community their space back.
