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 2020Traveled with friendsWritten August 3, 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 November 27, 2020

Walked in after having dinner, attempted to order. Only to be refused service without explanation or even attempt of discussion why. Was only told we couldn't stay at the premises... Poor staff and manger with no poeple skills or hospitality service. Probably lucky queesntown is so busy or they would have no buisness at all from interaction they gave us.. distasteful all round.

The workers were awesome! Such a friendly atmosphere. The bull machine made it such a fun place to be in as well. To be honest, my husband and I were more gutted that we only found this place when it was close to our departure date hence why we extended our stay for a few more nights just to come back to Cowboys! You will not regret the music and the memories you will make there. We will definitely be back. Thanks Cowboys Queenstown.

Fantastic bar! Spent 3 nights in Queenstown and went here every night. The staff were very accommodating and fun. The manager, Patrick, was extremely friendly and made every night fun, his service was impeccable. Will be returning on the next visit!

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 ♥️

We stumbled across this bar and visited it for a quick drink. However after ordering our drinks they offered us a free pizza, one of the best I have tasted. Loved the authentic Cowboys decor and the Iron bucking bull, great night

The bar is really cool. Nice environment, cheap beer. However, our night there was ruined by a bartender who threatened my friend. There's a mechanic bull in there and we wanted to ride it. My friend asked twice to this bartender when could we do it and the very cranky guy got pissed of and threatened him. We then decided to leave and went to other bars.

Was told I was to drunk to enter the bar whilst I was sober and had not touched any alcohol that evening. Upon waiting 15 minutes to enter and meet friends I was treated terribly by the staff and hassled again by security and said bouncer. This guy works most weekends and I know many who refuse to go to Cowboys due to this man. Such a shame as it has a very cool setup.

This place looked good from reviews but on arrival security were way to scrutinizing. Hastled at the front door and hastled when going to the toilet for asking where the dam things are. We were basically bullied out of the venue by these dudes.
Looks like i will have to find somewhere else to get my 80s glam fix and terrible treatment.

So bizzare. I was shocked to find out this isn't a gay bar. Cowboys behind the bar, 80's pop music videos and "americana" style hunting lodge decor... this place is a hot mess with a mechanical bull to top it all off. Surely this place is suffering from an identity crisis. 100% gay bar. I watched 2 David Bowie and a Wham music video in 30 minutes. SUPER GAY.
