What we say

Cowboys galore in this country/western bar, come ready to two step.
You are in Texas after all, so do stop by Austin's Country Western bar for some two-stepping. Country music fills the air here as do tight jeans and cowboy hats.

***** Rude, Disrespectful, Lousy
Posted: August 19, 2008
While Thursday nights are worth a short visit, you can pretty much skip the rest of the week. If you do go on a Thursday, take some earplugs, because the over-played top 40 music will be played at a deafening decibel leaving you with temporary hearing loss. The manager (owner?) is incredibly rude and tends to act like her customers are more of a nuisance than her actual business. The DJ is rude, won't take requests, won't turn the music down to a more sufferable level, and won't change up the music even when no one is dancing. While there are about three bartenders worth their weight, the other bartenders are rude and slow. The bar is NOT trans-friendly...honestly, it's no one friendly unless you happen to have a personal connection to one of the bartenders or managers. The many bathroom debacles over the last two or so years speak volumes to how management feels about transgendered folks in their bar. SKIP IT!

***** Cowboys gone and Lesbians arrived by the thousands

I used to love going to dance at this place, now that the lesbian sister took over at DJ; the crowd has changed and WENT DOWN HILL FAST! Men tip the bartenders, lesbians don't....

***** I AGREE--an old favorite that's now a dump!

I have many fond memories of Rainbow Cattle Company before it was "remodeled" and turned into a total dump! It has nothing going for it.

***** Used to be awesome
Posted: August 02, 2008
I used to love going to RCC. Good music, good people, nice atmosphere. I hate it now---the owner has run it into the ground. They only play country music on Saturday and people just don't go there anymore.
