Reviews for SkyBox Htown in Houston, TX
I really enjoyed going to this place. They do need more waitresses. I had to wait a bit to put in my food and drink order but... when I did get service it was exceptional. Food was great, drinks were great and I enjoyed the music. I'll be going backdefinitely. Read more
This place has so much potential to be amazing, highly profitable and popular sports bar. Sadly what they lack in morals for a... quick small gain will kill the business in the long run, as reviews and word of mouth get out. Tonight was my first time herewith my friend, great environment amazing music very happy to be here initially. after ordering food and drinks, well overtipping and complementary to waitress on her hard work and making sure that she's well taken care of financially for the hardwork that she's putting in. I am instead greeted with Low morals and lack of trust as I pay for a five dollar drink with a $20bill and ask her just to bring $12 back (pretty amazing tip for one drink that cost $5) and The tips like that kept going on thefood and all the other drinks I got before this. So after about 20 minutes goes by I have to go up and ask for the $12 that shetold me she was going to come back with. Her explanation was " oh I was just going to hold onto the cash just in case you wantedto order another drink" nope that has never happened to me ever in 100+ bars. All this to say I am here to spend money be niceand cordial and overpay for good service, but I do not want to be finessed or robbed or played games with my money. This wasobviously a play by the bartender to hope that I was drinking and would forget about the $12 that she could pocket at the end ofthe night when I left and forgot about the money. Sad to see very frustrated when I am nice complementary, and overtip time andtime again and get treated with this kind of service. Read more
So I barely even write or bother dropping reviews. But this time i had to! Visited Skybox on a Friday with my 3 friends, it... was my second time to visit; while first time for 3 of my friends. First upon arrival We met a tall black Security Officer withshort dreads at the door, he greeted us and from his accent we could tell he's African or something (No offense). But he wasextremely nice, had a nice smile and talked to us so politely and professionally, even welcomed us! This Armed SecurityOfficer made us feel so safe. Then we got inside, met this other rude short black frowning and very AGGRESSIVE Security guywho checked our ID'S and bags, one of myvfriends tried asking him a question and he Ignored.. She asked again and he StillIGNORED.. Gosh...... Very rude!!! Rest rooms was not working, the waitress was nice. Enjoyed music and food. You guys pleasefix your restroom ASAP! Read more
I always give places I visit at least three visits before I give a review. I?ve been with my boyfriend about five times now to... Skybox. We have been on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. It?s always almost empty, which is fine by us because we don?t likecrowded places. But if you like being around a large crowd, this is not the place for you. The food is great for a sports bar,the drinks are good and we like the mix of music. However the service is not the best. Like I mentioned the place is alwaysalmost empty. We arrived it took almost 40 minutes to get a waitress, mind you there were only seven people at the time. Itfelt like they didn?t even want to be there. No smiles just frowns. They appear upset when you want to order more drinksalso. Which is bizzare being that it?s your job. Overall the place is very nice and clean, the food is great, the drinks aregood, the music is good but the service is horrible. The only reason we will keep coming back is due to the small crowd andother pluses. The security was more friendly than the staff. Our interaction with the older white security Officer was great. Which is not common for security. He was helpful and smiling. Another plus I must mention. They always have three securityguys there, which we like. The older one is friendly, and he is always all over the place. He is def observing everythinggoing on. Overall if their service would improve, this place could be something. Read more
This was the worst experience ever. Security was highly rude once we arrived. We met the dress code but because we couldn?t hear... over the music, he instantly got annoyed when we told him we couldn?t hear what he was saying. We sat at the bar for a whilebefore a bartender came over?mind you we were 3 of the 4 people at the bar. The drinks were watered down?yes we saw them putlike 2tablespoons of vodka in the mixed drink. SMH then they were visibly upset when I didn?t tip for the one drink I ordered.And my friend and I ordered the same ONE no tip, and we later found out I was charged $3 more than my friend We left because wewere the staff was just rude. I?m sure others have had better experience but I can?t say the same Read more
Heard great things about your burgers. My other half and I ventured in a little after 7 p.m. on a Saturday. The place was dead... only 6 customers. We placed our order and waited for over an hour before finally giving up. Read more
The crawfish is good and you get sausage, corn and potatoes included in the price. The drinks are on point and they have a great... happy hour Monday through Thursday. First time here and I enjoyed myself. The bartender was very attentive, I forgot her name.Will be back soon! Read more
Jojo is an amazing bartender but came here on a Friday and they had a "Silent" party which killed my vibe since no music playing... since I didn't pay for the headphones but also no one offered them. Came back on a Saturday and the music was just okay.Would've liked more hip hop & r&b. A lot of people walked out throughout the night. Drinks was what really kept me here. It's abig venue and nice space just music was really off IMO. Read more
