My husband and I stumbled into this little bar after a concert last Friday night! It was lively and had a great vibe. Definitely a casual but fun place! The staff was friendly and attentive. We just had drinks but they did have a menu for food. It was mostly bar type food but looked good! There was a setup for a band but there wasn’t any live music playing but it was pretty late. However, I loved the music they were playing! Had a great 80’s playlist on! This is a great spot for people watching! Definitely looking forward to returning!

We had hummus & chips + pretzel sticks with some sort of sauce (see picture). Both were delicious! My friend had a frou frou drink and liked it. The dart board area could use some love (lighting & better quality scoreboards, in particular), but the game was playable there. I really like the place and will be back!

Cool little treasure in 77024. Located directly across the street from the professional buildings near the hospital. This bar is friendly and fun! The happy hour prices are reasonable, Keith & Maggie are very attentive and the space is cozy. The walls are filled with nostalgic photos, there are TVs throughout to watch the Astros (or whatever), there is a small stage for the live music & open mic nights and 2 dart boards in the back portion of the bar with extra seating. This review can't be complete without mentioning the great mix of music. It's a good spot to sit and Shazam tunes to add to your music library. In the couple hours I was there, I heard CCR, Waylon Jennings, Cody Jinks, George Jones and Chris Stapleton. 70's, true country and Texas country all mixed together. I did not try any of the food, so I will have to return to check that out along with open mic night on Wednesdays. One more thing I typically don't mention in my reviews: toilet paper. They have great toilet paper! Well done, guys! I will return.

Such a chill spot to get some great cocktails and catch up with friends. They have a limited food menu, but definitely get the hot dog with chili and tater tots. Keith, the bartender, is friendly and fast and makes some delicious drinks.

Classy dive bar. Never thought those two words would go together, but that’s how to describe the Cowboy Surfer. Everyone was very friendly, patrons and bartender, and open mic night was a lot of fun. May have just become my favorite local hangout.

Great hidden gem, the store front is very deceptive . Amazing staff, great liquor selection, short-order bar bites, and a quality micro sound stage for the music aficionados. Best open mic in the area hands down. Ask for John, he never fails.

Very lovely ambiance. Decor and music on point. Staff was awesome and patient with our group. Will def recommend this bar !

Definitely unexpected. The drinks were great, the customer service was enthusiastic, and the customers were much younger than I anticipated. I honestly thought it would be a crowd of older people that were trying to recreate their younger years in a bar they created, based on their website. But apparently it's their 22-29 yr old children they opened this bar for. My daughters (27 &28) loved it! NOTE: live music is only Monday -Thursday. I wish they had an interactive jukebox but we will be back. I didn't try the food, so that's next one list.

This is officially my new favorite Houston bar. This place has a really awesome vibe and the staff was very friendly and hard working. The live music was great and their Surfer and Cowboy beers were really good. You won’t be disappointed with this place!

New favorite place to! I needed a place to have a drink and catch up with a friend. PERFECT place! Small and unassuming secret place in a busy area. We were a bit nervous before we walked in because of the window paintings and the fact it was in a strip center. Soo glad we gave it a try! Attentive bartender. Drinks served in nice glassware. Great live music (Magnolia Brothers.) We didn’t try the food, but it looked good, served in the red picnic baskets to other patrons.

Burgers are delicious!! Drinks are made good and strong. Definitely worth the money. Staff is super friendly and very helpful

We caught a live music act, great sounds, and a cute stage. We didn't order food but several people around us did, smelled tasty. The drinks were good and reasonably priced. Be prepared to show your ID and sign up for a "free" membership. They require you to be a member in order to operate, I believe it's their proximity to certain businesses and schools. I'm looking forward to going back.

Love the Cowboy Surfer, but it portrays itself as a music venue, and it’s too long and skinny and small to seat people in a proper manner, and upon which to watch music. The bands coming through are few and far between. They obviously did the best they can with what they were given, which is a very skinny spot in a strip mall. The atmosphere is great, the customers are great as it is a local bar for the memorial area. Of course I keep going back.

Nice hidden gem! This is our go to before dinner when we are in the area. Great drinks…dark and stormy is my fave.

Love this place the staff is friendly. You do need to become a member before being served it doesn't cost anything they just do it because its a neighborhood bar but they have shows almost every day of the week and GREAT drinks. Very lay back cocktail bar.
