Sometimes those of us in metropolitan Atlanta just want to forget we're living in the urban capital of the South, and let our hair down at a real country joint – to “get in touch with my inner redneck,” as one friend puts it. Remember Miss Kitty’s Dance Hall in Marietta or Hoss ‘n Saddle in Doraville? You can capture that same down-home honky feeling at Cowboys Atlanta – actually located in Kennesaw, a couple of miles west of Town Center Mall and Interstate 75.
Often voted one of Atlanta’s top country music clubs, Cowboys has three levels of seating and bars overlooking the largest two-stepping dance hall in Cobb County. Like many country clubs, Cowboys has free line dance lessons every week. But if you’d rather stay seated, mosey over to the Texas Hold’Em games that are constantly in play at the poker table. Ladies get in free on Thursday nights, and there is live music Wednesdays through Saturdays. Cody Collins, the new lead singer for Lonestar, was “discovered” at Cowboys when he was lead singer for 151, Cowboys’ house band. LeeSa, Tuff and 151 performs four nights a week as well as open for the big touring acts that visit the club.
Cowboys is usually pretty quiet until about 10 p.m. A busy weekend or a big-name act can draw thousands, but there’s plenty of room to spread out and a host of gorgeous bartenders who keep the drinks flowing.
