With Colorado’s western heritage, and the popularity of the National Western Stock Show,

it’s no wonder a western-themed restaurant would want to stake its claim in Denver. Cowboys Saloon American Bar & Grill has just opened in Stapleton’s Northfield Shopping area. For adults, there appears to be plenty of appeal – nightly line dance lessons, concerts and a mechanical bull. Southern-inspired scratch cooking includes some upscale twists such as truffle parmesan fries and fried green tomatoes in the caprese salad. But there’s also smoked meats, burgers and skillet cornbread as you’d expect.

Although there are kids meals offered every night (corn dog, mac and cheese, cheese burger and chicken cluckers served with a drink, fries or applesauce and a Cowboys sundae), Tuesday and Thursday are when things get really family-friendly: 

Tuesday 
Family Night: kids 12& under eat free (2 kids meals with the purchase of an adult entree )
2-10pm
Free Kids Line Dance Lessons 7-7:30pm.
Face Painting or Balloon Animal Artist 7-9pm.
Thursday  
Kids 12& under eat free (2 kids meals with the purchase of an adult entree )
2-10pm

Cowboys Saloon American Bar & Grill is located at 8230 Northfield Blvd., Denver, in the former location of Toby Keith’s. We’re glad to know that the giant guitar-shaped bar and the mechanical bull didn’t go to waste!
