The Electric Cowboy is Terrible

One advantage to having a website is that you can clear your mind when you are upset about something. Instead of lighting a place on fire, you can cuss it out on your site and hope that the 12 people that actually visit heed your advice.
Well, after the Derby and discussions of what to do, we for some reason decided to venture on down to the Electric Cowboy, in the heart of Southwest Jefferson County. I call the Southend home, always have, and truly believe that the Southend really does get a bad rap for some reason.
It also takes a lot for me to cuss out someone who tries to run a successful business in Valley Station or PRP. But, the people running the Cowboy are an absolute joke.
First off, we get there at about 11:45 and the line is pretty legit so we’re thinking this might be alright. We finally get to the front and I am asked to leave because of my jacket, which is apparently gang-related. You know, a grey zip-up jacket. But, I’m a lil’ fatigued from a long day so my smart mouth doesn’t even enter the ring and I just walk away.
I go to the car and drop off the jacket and walk back in and pay my $10. I then find out it was only $8 before midnight and I was obviously there before then. So I walk up to ole dude who made me take my jacket off and tell him and he’s like it’s cool, we’ll take care of ya.
Apparently, ole dude didn’t get the memo. He talks to the man at the register and he’s says no. I run my mouth a lil’ bit, he says talk to this guy. So we jab at it for a couple minutes and he runs excuse after excuse and we get nowhere. Basically, I say I was there before midnight, he says I wasn’t there before midnight in dresscode. It’s a pointless convo and I really don’t care that much about the $2.
I just hate the Electric Cowboy. I live two minutes away and will not go back. Did they not realize that this was going to be their busiest day of the year? Apparently not, because they did not have one single Yump!!! working for them. In all honestly it was kind of disgusting. If you wanna dress up your girls in revealing clothes, please have some sort of standards.
We left in 30 minutes and I would have paid another $5 just to leave the place. It sucks. I will not go back and I advise the 12 loyal Pinkie Readers that we have to do the same.
If you are going to venture out to the Dixie, go to Batt N’ Putt. Leave the Electric Cowboy alone. It is garbage and their management is garbage.

I have been to the Electric Cowboy once and all it is is a bunch of weed smokers with t-shirts down to their ankles. I can’t believe they wouldn’t let you wear a jacket on a chilly night but allow thugged out shirts taht are three times to big. Advice heeded.
I believe that was my first trek back since they refused to let me in cuz I was wearin me a sweet ol’ Ryne Sandberg gray road jersey… yep, I’m a gangbanger as well in the EC’s eyes. And let us not forget the fact they almost made Phillipoussis dispose of his fedora on Derby night… A FEDORA!!!!! IT IS A DRESS HAT!!!! MORANS!!!!!!
Unreal how bad this place was. If it wasn’t for the one girlie showing massive amounts of side-boob, we’d have been out in 10 min. I may or may not have contracted a raging case of herpes from sitting at a table, also. Note to self: If the Cowboy urge hits again, cut off a body part. Honestly not worth it-I can see side-boob anytime, just by looking in my neighbor’s front window. Mr. Jenkins sure does like his bikini tops…
I feel you bro man! I went to EC in a very nice outfit with a sports jacket, and I was denied entry due to my fancy hat! I looked around at the gansters wearing read hats turned sideways and pants hanging down to their testicles…..I haven’t been back since. You guys should do a party round up every other week, in which you go to three or four bars and write about the experiences you have at each. We did a party round up in college for a radio station….it went over great. Plus, when businessed get wind of this, they will give you red carpet type treatment. I do know I will not step foot into the gheto-fied Electric Cowboy. And that’s coming from someone born and raised in the southend…..which I love!
All there girls are butt fugly too, man. I remember when they first opened they at least had halfway decent looking girls. NOw its like they have a 175-lbs or over rule for their waitresses lugging around shots and beers. The place is just not good. Why would you not just drive to bardstown or 4th street to have a good time? Why would strait pinkie go to the electric cowboy on derby anyways? Seems like this is your fault.
It’s an excellent point to ask “why would strait pinkie go to the electric cowboy on derby anyways?” There’s no answer. No rhyme. No reason. We are definitely the ones to blame for making the decision in the first place. We tried to support a local establishment, help out the South End, it just ain’t gonna happen until we roll out the Pinkie’s first bar/club/restaurant on the Dixie… You can be assured that establishment will be LEGIT.
This was a retarded night at the EC. I walked in with phillipoussis who was asked to remove his fedora. I had on a backwards hat kicked slightly to the left, and they said nothing to me, but you ask a man to take off a fedora?? WTF? The place was packed and sadly, I think I was the best looking person in the building, including girls. I would have rather touched myself than any girl their..and I did… I had been drinking for appox. 14 hrs at this time and prolly would have only yump’d one or two girls. THAT IS SAD. Also, what the hell happened to all the hot chicks that used to work their?? I also want to TANK Calvin Borel for being an awesome human.
I hope you are a female but I am really doubting so that you entered with your hat backwards. To hear you say you honestly believe you were the best looking person in the building is kind of sick and sadistic. The cowboy does suck though. it was decent for about six months and will be gone within the year. RIP Electric Cowboy right next to Total Eclipse.
Very useful story: Will come back soon.
