Cowboy Grill is the kind of place where you come for one beer and stay for three, which is partly the food's fault. The grill menu is the main draw — sisig in particular, served properly sizzling on a cast-iron plate, and gambas al ajillo cooked in more butter and garlic than is strictly necessary. Order something off the charcoal, get it with a round of cold San Miguel, and settle in. The bar does its job without theatrics.
It is a popular spot with locals, which means it fills up on weekend evenings and the noise level rises accordingly. The energy is good rather than rowdy. Cowboy Grill works as a starting point for a night out or a place to end one — the kitchen stays open late enough that you can eat properly after other options have closed. Worth knowing about if you want grilled food and a comfortable place to drink rather than a restaurant-style meal.
