I wasn't old enough to go to Cowboys at the time, but I know my older brother spent tons of money in that place. It was also one of the clubs that was in Urban Cowboy, I believe.

---

The "uptown bar" where Pam took Bud in Urban Cowboy was at 1885 St. James Place a block south of San Felipe. It is now an office tower but was The Courtyard at St. James up until about 10 years ago. Rentable event place as I attended an awards event as well as a wedding there.

From 2011 google street view.

Just what I remember reading as it was some two story deal. I stand corrected.

Isn't that close to where the Ocean Club was located as well?

There was also another club in Urban Cowboy called Elan, and it was a 3 story club. A real high class swanky place.

Same building.

Does anyone remember the Winchester Club? On Bissonet, between Hillcroft and Chimney Rock. Isaac P. Sweat was the house band.

Oh hell yea! Use to go there couple of nights per week. Bunch of us regulars would meet there,usually grabbed the 2nd table on the left as you just walked in. Right near the front, close to the band

Did many a Cotton Eye Joe and Shaddish (sp?) there.

And thanks, I couldn't remember the name of the band


While we're at it, I remember more recently -1999 to 2003 - going to the Longhorn, was in the NW Mall parking lot

Wednesday nights, most any drink in the house was a $1. Used to regain consciousness on Thursday mornings going "How in the hell did I drop 80 bucks on dollar drink night?"

"I got plenty of friends
And the fun never ends
That is, as long as I'm buyin'!"

Name the song and band

Huh, apparently that's where the party rental place (formerly Aztec) is located now, 5714 Bissonnet.
Looks like they closed in '86.

*Also found this interesting clip from an older Winchester Club getting torn down on S Post Oak, between W Alabama & Richmond. Leon Pappy Self played fiddle at the demo in 1973:
