I knew Cowboix Hevvven was located inside of Meow Wolf because I did some research beforehand, but for all intents and purposes, it's a divey speakeasy. The only way to get in is with a ticket to Meow Wolf.
Seating is first come, first served. We grabbed the first table we saw which happened to be right near the entrance. There's a cool photo op at the entrance, but it created a bottle neck because people kept stopping inside of the curtain entry to take photos. Inevitably, unsuspecting patrons kept bumping into people when they tried to walk in. We watched this happen multiple times. The bottle neck caused crowding around our table which quickly got old.
I didn't get our server's name, but she was very sweet. The bar was busy because it was adult's only night. The server went through the menu and gave us some time to figure out what we wanted to order.
None of the specialty cocktails on the "Fancey Shmancy" menu piqued my interest so I went with a G+T from the "Hooch" menu. I don't know what type of gin was used, but the drink was fine. Our server gave us lids for our drinks so we could take them with us through the rest of the exhibit.
Two of my friends ordered the Hot Slop which is their version of Frito Pie. I didn't try any, and honestly there's not much to say about it because it's Frito Pie.
The loud metal music that kept randomly playing was annoying. Our server told us that it turns on when someone presses a button (not sure where said button is located), however it is also on a loop so even if the button doesn't get pressed, it will eventually play. It totally wasn't our vibe.
There's a lot going on with the art in Cowboix Hevvven. We didn't take the time to explore because we were pretty much over it by the time we got to the bar. The one thing that was apparent is the good vs evil theme. If you care to know more about the art and the inspiration behind it, you can read about it on their blog.
