Cowgirl BBQ

על המקום הזה Cowgirl BBQ

Cowgirl BBQ on South Guadalupe Street is an institution of Santa Fe's social life that transcends any single demographic category — a large, rambling adobe restaurant and bar complex with an extensive patio, live music most evenings, a menu of New Mexico and Texas barbecue, a full bar, and an atmosphere of casual good humour that makes it welcoming to everyone. The LGBTQ+ community has claimed Cowgirl as a gathering point for decades, and the bar's culture reflects this: the staff are welcoming, the crowd is mixed, and the combination of good food, outdoor seating, and live music creates the kind of social environment where different groups of people naturally find themselves in conversation. South Guadalupe Street runs south from the Railyard district, and the restaurant's location makes it a practical starting point for an evening that might continue to Revolution Bar or end on the patio with a final margarita as the desert air cools. The extensive patio is the primary asset in good weather: Santa Fe's climate provides reliably dry evenings from May through October, and the high desert air at 7,000 feet carries a coolness even in summer that makes outdoor dining and drinking a pleasure. For visitors to Santa Fe, Cowgirl BBQ is the essential first evening stop — a place to orient to the city's particular character over a plate of ribs and a New Mexico green chile bloody mary.
