Grapevine has a new sports bar in the vein of Twin Peaks, Hooters and the like: Rowdy Cowboy. It’s a “breastaurant” style bar with a western twist that recently opened at 1713 Crossroads Dr., along SH 121.

The bar takes over the space that was recently home to D’Ambrosio’s Pizza, a pizza restaurant that lasted a short time. It has since been home to a number of concepts, including 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 strip clubs Bucks Wild and Bucks Cabaret. (Wise still owns Bucks, but Richardson is no longer involved.)

The sports bar is staffed by scantily clad women in bikinis with thong bottoms and cowboy boots. The bar also has neon signs that say “saddle up” and logos branded into the wooden bar top, hence the “Western” theme.

The menu is a Southern, Tex-Mex take on bar food, featuring wings, brisket-stuffed jalapeños, brisket-stuffed jumbo pickles, and cheese fries. It has random ambitious touches here and there, like serving onion rings in a horseshoe-shaped dispenser and dishes like “croissant beignets,” a cross between a French and a NOLA dessert.

And then there are flautas, street tacos (with a choice of chicken, steak or beef brisket), quesadillas, spare 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 seasonals, as well as bottled beers. Cocktails include the “Reverse Cowgirl,” made with cucumber vodka, and “The Wrangler,” which is Rowdy Cowboy’s take on a tequila old fashioned.

The bar is 12 metres long and there are 64 flat-screen TVs spread throughout the space.

“This is going to be the place where you want to watch all the sporting events,” said Julia Smith, Rowdy Cowboy’s general manager. “I think we’re going to bring fun, excitement and entertainment.”
