Cowbells
- Thread starter trobe11
- Start date
I believe this establishment is frowned upon and has been since Boobiegate
But after 12 or so, there aren't many other options in Starkville.

Yes. Cowbells is the cultural epicenter of North America. As far as the surrounding area...think of it as a large hunting camp.
Don't go there. Nasty and they wouldn't let ANTHONY 17n DIXON in!! I will never give them money or send any their way.
Haven't been back in a while but its a DUI funnel in and out of that place. Stay away from the punching bag that measures how hard you hit, tends to be a hot spot. If you have a visible tribal tattoo you should be fine so no worries there. Only medium and smaller collarless shirts allowed. Your girlfriend has to have at least three different colors in her hair and a "I hate my family" piercing on her face. Now that you know the rules have fun!
To each it's own, but I would not step foot in that trash hole. The entire highland's neighborhood has gone to complete ****.
Don't go to COWBELLS!
Reasons not to go to cowbells:
1. They allow smoking.
2. There is a cover. (Usually 10 bucks)
3. They allow 18 and over. Attract a younger crowd
4. Trash
5. Rednecks
6. Don't be scared to fight
Also, the cotton district stays open til 1 on the weekends

If mommy and daddy paid for you to have friends in college (fratastic) then cotton district is your destination. Don't forget your costas, chacos, a pair of your girlfriend's/wife's shorts, and a fishing shirt.
Requirements for above attire:
rope for sunglasses
a douche bag to wear all clothing items
Things not required:
sun for sunglasses
white water for sandals
balls for wearing the shorts
fish for shirt
If you don't meet any of the above qualifications you can still go to the cotton district or anywhere else.

Well I must have been out of place with my normally sized collared shirt and not very fashionable Wrangler jeans and loafers last time I was there. I even went to Cowbells after (grudgingly). And I was in a fraternity! I must just not fit in anywhere!
...or you're illiterate, or you just missed the last sentence.
I'm still trying to figure out why I even responded. People take shots at one crowd but how dare they fire back. And to think this is the place that makes fun of the sheep!!!

I'd recommend the cotton district to out of towners, as long as you don't mind being cramped up in a small bar with rich kids. The talent will look much nicer there.
Zorba's and Old Venice can be good. Halfway House is my favorite, it attracts more of the grad-school age crowd.
Rick's attracts a little bit of everything, it has good and terrible nights.
Cowbell's...not for me.

100 percent spot on here..
To add my two cents also...Halfway House is one of the best bars in starkville, I've worked security there a few times and it doesnt allow anyone under 21 in there so the crowd is always more mature and less frat-tastic than the district
Old Venice and the Veranda are for the older crowds which is also nice
Steer clear of Dave's...I 17'n hate that grimy hole in the wall.

No ill will twoard the greek community from me but I still laughed pretty hard at this.
Or did you miss the part where I said I went to Cowbells, too. My post was a dig at everyone taking shots at the stereotypes, just so happened to add on to your post.
Just depends on how you want to party. If you want a Reggie's type scene - go to Cowbells or Ricks.
If you want a local college bar type scene that's more laid back - hit up the cotton district or downtown.

Damn..... you have to be one sorry son of a ***** to hate on the Cotton District
Pretty much the most laid back place on earth. You may be literally the first person Ive heard try and bash it.
Gotta love the frat bashing too. Very telling.

I actually like everywhere but the cottom district. Cowbells, veranda, daves, zorba, ricks, halfway house, etc.
I like the cotton district but hate the bars. They can only fit about 3 people in those cramped *** bars and the crowd is generally the young, frat sweep, fish shirt / marlboro light crowd. Not that there is anything wrong with that but I prefer to at least have a table or somewhere to sit. I dont mind loud *** music but I need a home base or Im pretty miserable.

Drink on campus or in the district in the afternoon early night. Go out to Daves at night. If broad generalizations are your thing.
Cowbells= affliction t shirts and nickleback.
Daves= Awesome, really really good crowd really great bar.
Cotton District= fun and cool area but gets to crowded and a lot of young frat people that are still learning how to drink, more talent.
Downtown and halfway house= Good bars, a lot like the cotton district maybe a bit older, talent is still strong
If you are serious about working at Halfway house, please read:
YOUR EMPLOYER HAS THE MARKET CORNERED ON WINGS. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING WINGS. THE OTHER FOOD IS GOOD TOO.
THE SERVICE IS ABSOLUTELY 17ING HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE. THE SERVICE IS LIKE "You play ball like a girl". HORRIBLE.
If they would do something about the service, number of servers, good common sense, etc., they'd take over the food industry in Starkville, Ms.
DID I MENTION THE WINGS ARE AWESOME AND THE SERVICE IS HORRIBLE??

The Cotton District is cool...
If you are underage. One girl honestly tried to pass off her friends ID that I had just saw 20 minutes earlier to me when I was working security there one night at one of the "smaller" bars. Apparently she was a regular there and I was told to go on and let her in. I perfer my crowd to be more mature but hey whatever works for you
Also forgot to add Rick's Cafe does a damn good 9 dollar steak dinner on sundays for those who will visiting this football season and plan to grab dinner before they hit the road.
