About
Come join our team at Cowboys for a fun filled visit in our Cowboy themed bar. Show us your skills on the Mechanical Bull or have a game of Pool or Shuffle Board with friends and family. You will find yourself singing along to all your favourite 70’s, 80’s and 90’s hits with a few catchy current songs and of course a little bit of country thrown in. Karaoke is always a fond favourite with the locals on Sunday night with free spicy chicken wings after 9.00pm. We look forward to seeing you soon. Yee-haw!

- Serene CooperWellington, New Zealand2 contributionsHospitality!! 11/10The bouncer set the tone for our night with the best warm greeting, which was carried throughout any other staff member we met that night. Drinks were flowing, music was pumping. Sadly, we came to late to ride the Bull, but the Karaoke made up for it. The owner and her staff are just beautiful. They really made our lastnight in QT the best night in QT. #buckmegentlydarling..Visited August 2020Travelled with friendsWritten 3 August 2020
- Barbara EWaihola, New Zealand8 contributionsA fabulous fun filled night out in QueenstownThis was a "must visit" bar in Queenstown NZ. The staff are experienced, kind, courteous and pre-empted our needs all evening. Free pizza per group. Great atmosphere, super exciting activities including bucking bronco riding. We will be back next visit Cowboys. Impressed with staff wearing masks too.Visited October 2020Written 27 November 2020

As a 31 year old female I felt completely misogynistically treated by security. I was trying to enter with friends who were 30, myself aged 31 and the security stated that I required my passport for additional ID. No one else in the group of 8 people I was with needed a passport. My drivers licence and bank cards were not apparently satisfactory. Such a shame because I love country music and I just wanted to enter the pub with my friend. The worst part was when I walked 30mins back to my accom to get my passport just to enter - many pub goers said no one else had to get their passport out for entry. Hence I felt this a misogynistic attack - stopping me from entering.

This was such a fun bar! Mechanical bull, cowboy hats and karaoke. The whole bar has a family vibe and everyone gets together to have a good time

What a great place. Even though the Bull wasn’t going we had a great night with friends. The staff were exceptional, friendly and efficient. Ordered pizzas that were lovely and came out quickly. Thank you

Country is not my thing, but my family wanted to go. Its a decent size bar, and they do karaoke which is also not my thing. The one thing that made me happy was the slight gay friendly vibe. I like to see that in bars. I felt very comfortable with my boyfriend even though it was all country folk. Great sized beers for $16, and you need an ID just to get in. I would say check it out, its fun. Oh and they have a mechanical bull.

Great looking bar and loved the 80’s music, pitty the staff would not be capable of organising a sleep in a mattress factory, arrogant or just plain dumb I do not know but the service was as good or as useful as calling the fire brigade after your house has burnt down and you neighbours have tidied up one week later. A real disappointment since last visiting several years ago, obviously changed hands since.

The bars done really nice lots of cool things to look at. There was good. But the guy behind the bar look like the manager if you don’t like your job mate quit you grumpy bugga. Didn’t smile. When we gave back our billiard balls, no conversation, no smile just gave us back your ID and the money rude.

Best night out ever as a first timer in Queenstown, the best staff that love to party along with you. Number one bar for karaoke. My favourite bar tender is Patrick ♥️

Racist staff 100%. One of my friends had an issue with the guy at the door because he let a drunk white person to go in and when questioning he clearly specified that the way they physically looked different was the reason why one could go in and the other could not.
The guy with the MANAGER shirt was the most

The members of staff were so rude as soon as we entered the bar and acted like they didn’t even want you there. I had a drink and was stood by the bar, then I looked around and my drink was gone! I told a member of staff my drink had gone and she said ‘well i didn’t take it’ (brunette hair) and i said ’that’s fine, i know you didn’t take it, but maybe a member of staff cleared my drink without knowing i was still drinking it’ (it had a third still left), this woman then literally looked at me and shrugged her shoulders and walked away,
I thought this was so rude considering i bought this drink about 10 mins ago.
This then happened a second time!! my drink got cleared and the same girl acted like that was normal.
Also i really wanted to go on the bull ride and the person in charge told me i needed a $2 coin and to go to the bar to get one.
Iwent to the bar and they told me they didn’t have any. I waited for over an hour all the while other people were able to get coins and go on the same ride then other people were able to get some coins so then i asked if i could and a different, very kind member of staff helped me and changed my coins.
Anyway i think this bar needs to talk to its employees about making people feel welcome. i am here on holiday and this was the first bar i came to in queen town and honestly you were were so rude and unkind to us! I was with other friends who live in Queenstown and they told me this bar has a reputation for really unfriendly members of staff and to only go if you’re going with good people as the staff will not make u feel welcome at all.
