Gnats in bar, leaky faucets lead to low score at Cowboys Dance Hall

SAN ANTONIO – Cowboys Dance Hall was ordered to go through a reinspection last month after a city health inspector found gnats and fruit fly-like insects in its bar area.

The dance hall, located in the 3000 block of NE Loop 410, received a 79 after racking up a long list of violations that also included leaky faucets and soiled beverage dispensers and ice machines.

You can read the full report by searching the Metro Health website.

The San Antonio Metropolitan Health District's scoring of food establishments is based on a 100-point demerit system.

The inspection reports, which establishments are required to post in public view, feature a number score at the top and bottom of the front page. A separate placard with the number score and a letter grade (example: 100/A) is also available upon request from the food establishment. Posting the placard is voluntary.
