As you pass by the entrance of this dance bar, you can't help but look twice to make sure your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. Is that a life-size cow suspended over the doorway? It is, and it even has a pierced nipple. You've stumbled upon the Holy Cow, a dance bar featuring music from the '70s, '80s and '90s. The Cow gets packed to the udders with European tourists and 20-something locals because there?s no cover charge and ever-changing drink specials. With the prerequisite disco ball in place and Day-Glo posters covering the wood paneling, your head might spin from the visual stimulation. Take a break and venture into the "Chill Space", a dark room that's heavy on black lights and a tiki atmosphere. The Holy Cow is also a promising pick-up joint for straight 20-somethings. People can get wild and you might be yelling the bar's name at some of the shenanigans going on. --

Cool spot
By Tangie510 on 06/18/2009
I only go to H.C. on Thursday when drinks are 1/2 price from 9-12 and the place usually starts getting packed sometime between 10-1030. Line to get in is always quick (I have never had to wait myself tho).lol. Security and Bartenders are cool. You can just kick back and chill, play pool or dance on the stage if you're a chick. Fellas usually get kicked off... This is a cool place to go if you like a mixed crowd of people, unlike some other places.

Great place

I've been here a few times and had a good time. Drinks are cheap, ratio is 50/50 (but it does tend to attract big girls, occasionally you'll get some hotties here), no cover, a few corner bars nearby, always packed on the weekend, and plays good dancing music (mostly top 40).
