Best KPortal Reviews
Our group had a great time grabbing lunch here. I'm really glad they strive to stand out with their uniqueness and that there seems to be a lot going on. Pool tables, pong table, karaoke and live music. What's not to love? Can't wait to come back and have some fun here ????
Hard to believe this place is located where it is. But then you realize there's a dairy processor, so it is perfect. Very original place to have a drink and quick bite. You can tell it has its regulars, whom are very friendly. Nice selection of beer and finger food. As in any place, make sure to order the specific liquor brand you want, otherwise they will reach for the bottom of the bottom shelf, with a guaranteed headache.
I felt very uncomfortable and unwelcome. Rebecca the bar tender which I had assumed was just a patron. Failed to acknowledge our presence. We waited over 10 min at a very empty bar. Finally, I went up to the part of the bar that actually has the entrance to the kitchen to see if there was a bartender to be seen. She proceeds to get up from her bar stool and get a plastic bag for someone. Directly in front of me about 1 foot from my body. I say, "Oh! You are the bartender?" And I asked is she serving this part of the bar? We are sitting right over here. She said, what do you want? I asked if she serves Cabernet. And my friend is over there and she would like to order what she would like. She says she will come. She asks for our IDs. I get mine out my friend gets hers and Rebecca walks away to hang out at the bar. We sit for another 10+ minutes and she doesn't acknowledge us at all. My friend goes up to her and a customer says, " You have a customer." Rebecca replies, "well if she wants something, then she can ask me."
And another 10 minutes we are STILL sitting here.... and now there is another bartender also. And they both are taking drink orders from everyone else except for us.
If I could give this place zero stars I would. Not sure why we were discriminated against. I would be very wary to anyone coming to this place.
***This is only a review for the drag show that was held on Wednesday night march 27***
It was Soo much fun!!!
I did not go to the restroom so I can't say how the bathrooms are but the cazador margaritas where great and theJello shot too.
The vibe was just FUN the place was fun too!!
The bartender was ok (the place was packed so not too friendly and it did take a while for me to get serviced but it is understandable)
They had pool tables in a separate place from the show and the bar was also in a separate place from the show they had tables and booth chairs.
I would definitely recommend going on a drag show night I would go again!!
If you love a good dive bar and you love good people, The Cowshed is your spot. Rough and tough; warm and welcoming. ❤️
San Marcos classic you really don't know what you have until you walk inside. This place is amazing! Very wide open with a nice bar, pool tables, places to sit & eat and live music
This is a fun little dive bar in my neighborhood. I really like it but I do think that the bartenders need to be a little bit more attentive. I had to wait about 10 minutes to get my card back, and I never got a "hey, i will be right with you" I never even got eye contact. And this was not the first time, but it won't stop me from going back. They had karaoke Saturday night.... that was fun. If you're busy, just say hey I'll be right with you. It's really no effort, right?
Positives: Drinks were good, when karaoke was happening the vibe was great, the "mature" bartender dressed as a cow was really nice, the dive bar atmosphere (decor) was great. Negatives: Very expensive drinks. $10 for a vodka (well) drink and $7 for a beer and they closed early for no reason given (at 130am). Closing time is advertised as being 2am. This ruined the entire nights' vibe for me. I'm visiting a local friend and we were planning on coming back originally later in the week; may go somewhere else instead only because of this early closing situation. Not cool that they can pick and choose when to close without explanation to customers.
