COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – A country-themed bar featuring a mechanical bull will soon open its doors at Easton Town Center.
PBR Cowboy Bar + Smokehouse, located at 3950 Gramercy St. -- the former location of Abuelo's Mexican Restaurant -- will open to the public at 9 p.m. Thursday after an invitation-only preview party.
The restaurant and bar will mark the concept’s first Ohio location and its 16th in the United States, with a majority of locations residing in the South. PBR stands for Professional Bull Riders, which is headquartered in Colorado.
The 8,400-square-foot bar and restaurant will feature a mechanical bull, line dancing, an LED media wall to watch sporting events and multiple bars. On top of its expansive whiskey and alcohol menu, the restaurant serves wings, ribs, burgers, sandwiches, tacos, salad and dessert.
After its opening night, the bar will host “Freedom Friday,” a monthly appreciation night for military personnel, veterans, first responders and public service members, starting at 4 p.m. Starting on Saturday, the venue will open for regular business hours.
The bar plans to offer special deals for wings, whiskey and tequila on Monday nights and deals on cocktails and food for ladies nights every Thursday. Regular hours for PBR Cowboy Bar + Smokehouse will be Sunday through Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.
