The Famous Cowboy Country Saloon

Cowboy Country Saloon, 3321 E. South St., Long Beach, CA 90805

Cowboy Country, located off of South Street, just east of Downey Ave. and 1 mile south of the 91 Freeway, has been cited as being the last of the honky-tonk bars in Southern California. So, be warned the lineup of Harleys in the Parking lot can be a little intimidating! But, don’t let that stop you, come on in and drink this place in! It’s a large 15,000-square-foot dancehall and saloon. There’s a total of three dance floors, a pool room, a short-order kitchen, and two full bars. And, of course, a stage for the live band that plays every night they are open (Wednesday, Friday & Saturday).

Cowboy County is indeed a genuine honky-tonk bar and dance hall. And, I think like a lot of honky-tonks it has its own unique personality and flair. To begin, the layout of the club is a bit odd. The main dance floor for line dancing and partner dancing is a weird shape that you step up to. The second dance floor (actually closer to the entrance) is used for people, say, wanting do a cha-cha or do some extra practicing when there’s a line dance happening on the main floor.
