Can’t see what will be featured, yet.
I must admit, I was a bit sad when Toby Keith’s joint called it quits at Syracuse’s mega shopping, dining and entertainment complex Destiny USA.
Not that I was a regular at the country music star’s restaurant and bar. But my dear wife Karen and I did share a meal and music at or three before owners of the third-floor spot and Destiny couldn’t come to agreement on contract money matters and out went the lights.
Heck, I even shouldered my way to a good spot when word came down that Keith himself was playing a three-song acoustic set on the stage before a full-blown night at the New York State Fair Grandstand in August, 2013.
So an eyebrow arched when I noticed this past weekend that the former environs have been boarded up with signs proclaiming the newcomers.
Yes, the innards that used to boast a mechanical bull and live country music will soon enough give way to a national chain called Cowboys Saloon. No, the football team did not leap to my mind.
Some research upon my return home found a story about the five-spot chain on Syracuse.com. It’ll be different and the same.
I think I shall visit when the boards come down and doors open up.
Have you been to a Cowboys Saloon, and if so, what did think? If not, would you go to the Cowboys Saloon? What’s your favorite type of bar, and why?

Always fun when a new restaurant opens in the neighborhood. Happens all the time here in Astoria.

Lots of country and western places in the Four Corners and beyond. Never have heard of this particular place before.

I think it’s fairly new to the scene all over, PJ. I’ll write and take photos when it opens here, for sure!

I don’t think I have ever been to a Cowboy/Cowgirl bar. Actually I can’t even remember the last time I went to a bar. Gosh, I kind of sound like an antisocial putz, don’t I?
