Hi. Um. Okay. So... yeah. I came in around 11:00 pm because…read moreI was, you know, trying to see if there was live music or, like, a vibe. Not drunk. Not loud. Just standing there. Hydrated. Existing. At first it was cool. I met a couple of young guys. Super nice. Totally normal human interaction. We talked. It was fine. No problems. Excellent. Then they left. And, uh... yeah. Everything got weird. Like... record scratch weird. No bartender came over. No eye contact. No "hey man, what can I get you?" Just a lot of standing and looking past me like I was a ghost or maybe a very calm ghost. I tried to make casual conversation, because that's what people do in bars. And suddenly the room felt tense. Like I had accidentally walked into a staff meeting or a crime scene. At some point it hit me. Oh. They think I'm a cop. Not because I did anything. But because I was standing upright. And sober. And aware. Which, apparently, after 11 pm here is suspicious behavior. For the record, I am not law enforcement. I am just a guy who is cold and trying to hear music. I wasn't kicked out. I wasn't served. I was just... ignored. Like if they pretended I didn't exist long enough, I might fade away. So I left. Nothing dramatic happened. It was just awkward. Uncomfortable. And kind of impressive in a sad way. I walked into a bar and accidentally became a vibe check the place failed itself. This might work great for regulars or a younger crowd earlier in the night. But if you are a grown adult who knows how to behave in public, you may suddenly find yourself labeled "possibly undercover." Party on. I guess.

Closed Sunday because it's a family cuisines. I like that... friendly regulars. Cold ac on a hot June sunny day. cheap drinks. Fast service. Good music. Pool tables. Tv. Outside isn't very inviting but the inside is great. Happy I found it. I'll be back!

5 Stars because of 5 things: 1.) The staff are amazing…read more2.) The cover charge is $5, no matter the day with free Wi-Fi 3.) The pool tables (2), the food (Apps AND Entrees), and the dancers are all Grade A for price 4.) BYOB 5.) The location is stereotypical hole-in-the-wall, so mostly locals to compliment an already-friendly crowd New to Texas, let alone east Texas region. I've traveled to Longview, Marshall, Shreveport, and Dallas for nightlife entertainment and The Rendevous in Jefferson, TX stands as my top favorite "titty-bar". Stop for a few to admire the women, shoot some $1 games of pool including tournament brackets, or just meet the southern vibe and culture for a great night. Support small business, ya fool! Come early because parking and pool tables go fast (given there's just the two tables).

I'm just passing through town, saw this was one of two places that was listed as a sports bar with…read moreany reviews, called and asked if they were showing a game I cared about, az wildcats vs the ducks, they said, "if its on basic cable we can throw it on for you." Now, that's nice and all, but if you are a sports bar, you do NOT have basic cable only. I was going to rate two stars but read they have a drunk bus. That's very cool, and safe!

This is like a smoky and divey version of House of Blues in Texarkana on Arkansas side. Bar tenders…read moreare fast and convenient. Sound system is great and their air filters works great (it wasn't as smoky as I thought) The only reason I can't give it a five stars is because I've never seen anybody bus the tables and bar area except for one female server and for that lady who walks around selling the Confederate flag. It just really bothers me.

Her attention to detail and kindness went far beyond what you'd expect from a bar stop -- she brought me a rum and strawberries that was as refreshing as her energy. Toya has an incredible presence: smooth, calm, genuine, with long lashes and a glow that lights up the bar. You can tell she truly cares about her guests. In a world where good service is rare, she stands out as unforgettable. If you come to Connections, do yourself a favor and sit where Toya is working -- you'll walk away with more than just a good drink; you'll leave with a better day.
