| - Although I've had a yelp account for a while, I haven't yet been motivated to write a review until now. Over this past Saturday, I had the luxury of organizing a bachelorette party for one of my good friends. I had the perfect downtown adventure planned for us, combining a series of destinations that would feature the best places for food and drink that I could think of for the party, and this plan went out the window when we stopped into Cowboy Monkey. Whereas we had only anticipated staying for 30 minutes to get a quick post-dinner round of drinks, we ended up staying until the lights were hit and the barstools were flipped.
Our group entered around 10:00, where the cute bartender enthusiastically greeted us and offered a round of shots to start the night. Amongst the initial options he gave us, we went with some strawberry kamikaze type of shot--Yum! They seriously tasted like a liquid form of Skittles. After taking our drink orders and making our group some overall pretty tasty drinks, he offered to push some tables around so we could sit together (which was great, as it was way too cold and rainy to even consider sitting outside!).
As the night progressed, the place got busier and busier with people coming to see the DJ show, and the bartenders kept up with our drinks and still remembered my order throughout the night (Jack and ginger ale, of course). While this type of DJ event wasn't necessarily my type of scene, my friends enjoyed dancing the night away. We also ordered some guacamole and salsa, which provided us with delicious and much needed fuel at some point in the night. The evening flew by, and before we even stopped to look at the hour, closing time hit and we happily concluded our bachelorette party out on the town.
I needed to provide a fantastic night out, and Cowboy Monkey delivered for us insomuch that we abandoned the rest of our plans to stay there. I will definitely be taking my friends out this way in the future!
