Cowboix Hevvven, a bar located inside the Meow Wolf art museum in Houston, was named the Best Dive Bar for the 2026 Best Of Houston awards.
The venue is situated within the abandoned radio station section of the Meow Wolf exhibit. Visitors must navigate a series of hidden rooms and secret doors to reach the bar. The path includes landmarks such as a giant slice of toast, a room filled with imaginary beer cans, and an alien vehicle.
The bar serves a limited menu of alcoholic beverages. Options include a mandatory Lone Star, Saint Arnold beer, whiskey, vodka, and tequila. The establishment also offers food, including hot dogs, sandwiches, and sweet treats. The venue describes itself as an afterlife purgatory honky tonk.
Cowboix Hevvven is available for private rental for special events. The bar creates custom cocktails to coincide with concerts held in the adjacent room. During a Paul Wall performance earlier this year, staff prepared a drink called Purple Drank.
The Houston Press included the bar in its annual list of local favorites. The award recognizes establishments that provide affordable drinks and a relaxed atmosphere. Other named dive bars in the 2026 list include Lola’s on Montrose and the Cozy Corner in Westbury.
The bar functions as a place for adults to consume beverages while experiencing the surreal art installations at Meow Wolf. The venue aims to help patrons distinguish between imagined and real elements in their daily lives. Contact for the location is 866-636-9969.
