Love the live music and beer selection! Bartender was a bit rude when I was just trying to let her know some girl is stuck in... the toilet without paper. Then we got the food which turned out to be inedible because of how highly seasoned it was. Maybe itwas just a bad night? Other than that I usually enjoy the atmosphere Read more

Kinda sad to leave this place two stars but I feel I got played with the taco tuesday deals they had going on for beer. I?m NOT... complaining about the tacos. They were amazing, and well worth it. My complain is with the beer deal. Their insta made a postwhere beer was on sale for $2 on tuesdays, but that only applied for ONE beer (out of many available options). Their insta postread ?$2 beers?, word for word. Maybe it was my fault for not asking beforehand, but I think if you have beer on sale you shouldspecify whether it?s all available beers or just one beer in special. Other than that it?s an amazing place thats?s worthchecking out. It would have just been nice to have some more transparency. Read more

This place has a great vibe. Funky. Dive-ish. A little bit of everything, from the decor to the food. Menu offerings are limited... but interesting and tasty. Large selection of beers. There is live music at times and also a midsize outdoor venue with a stage.Indoor and outdoor seating, including graffiti covered picnic tables. The recorded music was too loud to carry on a conversationunless you sat around the corner. The food portions are small. Order food and drinks at the bar. Read more

The ambiance is amazing, the customer service is incredible, and there is always a variety of things to do here. My only thing... is that the food is pretty pricy for the amount you get, although the quality is absolutely incredible. I got pork belly tacos,fries, pretzel, and Korean wings. The tacos are a nice Mexican/Asian fusion, they are incredibly well done and delicious. Thefries are well seasoned and their sauce was pretty good as well just wish they also offered ranch. The Korean wings were supercrispy and crunchy on the outside and nice and juicy on the inside, although I would have preferred a bit more sauce on them butbesides that the seasoning was perfect. Their pretzel was nice and soft doughy, they give you 3 sauces one is a cream cheeseranch blend which was just perfect and the other two are spicy mustard and regular mustard. Overall the food is great just a bitpricy for the amount, but it's a bar so I know most people don't really come here for the food. Sorry I didn't get a pic of thewings and pretzel. Read more

Cozy place with a good mix of indoor and outdoor seating. The meals are perfect for small plate sharing, and the prices are... amazing for what you get. Great place to take a date before going out for some drinks, or after you've had a couple and need tosoak up the booze. Beer selection isn't huge at the moment, but offers a really nice variety of Texas beers. The staff was superattentive and explained everything to us. I wouldn't expect a huge dinner menu, but if you aren't looking for a serioussit-down then this place is great before a night out, or to cap off a night out. Read more
