361 Bar is one of those places that's easy to miss if you don't know it's there since it's tucked into a strip mall, but it's definitely worth stopping in. There's plenty of parking, which is always nice. Inside is clean and laid out well with enough space between tables to make it wheelchair accessible, which I really appreciated. They've got a full bar, friendly bartenders, pool tables, dart boards, video poker, big screen TVs, and fun decor that gives it a relaxed neighborhood bar feel. Just a heads up, smoking is allowed inside. Overall, it's a fun spot to hang out, grab a drink, and spend a few hours. read more

4 men cornered my husband over me playing a gambling machine. I pushed someone to try to get to him and was hit and asked to leave. I said I'll leave just stop plz. Not a good place to go read more

The service was great. They had a party and there was leftover crawfish that was incredibly good and the bartender said it was leftover so we could have all we wanted. Had a great time shooting pool they have darts and a big circular bar. Would recommend this bar to everyone. read more

Samantha is so fun! We had a great time. We visit Port Aransas about once a year and we discovered this place about three years ago. It's not touristy and so laid back. We always make sure we stop here while we are here. But really enjoyed this trip with Samantha behind the bar. She's hilarious! Made our evening! read more

They didn't serve food here which was fine. We didn't go for food. The service was great considering there was only two bartenders and the place was packed. The ambience was perfect. We played pool and they had a small band. It was exactly what we were looking for, and we had a great time! we will definitely visit this bar again the next time we are in Port A! read more

Great karaoke setup. The KJ Bubba Flex made his entrance from the outside on his jacked up bicycle with boom box blaring. Quite the spectacle. Terrific daily beer and drink specials. While we were the there, the specials were $2 Dos Equis or Busch and $4 Crown. A beer and a shot $5. Pretty sweet. I would say mainly a local hangout, but everyone was friendly. Go there when in the area. read more

Definitely not a "breathe of fresh air" as one reviewer stated. If you are a smoker than this is your place if you're not a smoker than do not come here. We made a mistake, one and done. I was inside for maybe 3 mins and stink of cigarette smoke! We went to the patio to finish our beers and leave and it smelled of cigarette butts which were littered everywhere and dog poop on the artificial turf! Never coming back read more

Holy breath of fresh air. This should be THEE bar of Port A. Good crowd, Julie was our bartender and she rocks!! Smilin and slangin drinks! If you're lookin for that "hole in the wall" place that's super lax and feels like your hometown neighborhood bar, get over to 361 and let loose! read more

361 Bar - a group of people sitting at a bar - Sports Bars Near Me - Port Aransas, Texas

Smoking allowed inside. Disgusting. Couldn't stand in there for even one minute, I was about to vomit. Can't believe you can smoke in a bar in 2022, thought the world in general was above this. Gross. read more

We come here after work 2/3 a week. LOVE the bartenders. We came in on Sat night and the guy playing was SO loud it was not enjoyable at all. He's good, the music and volume is too loud. One and done tonight. read more

I took one step in the door and backed out as fast as I could. The air was blue with cigarette smoke. WRETCH!!

Poor service cause no one came up to us ask for drinks or what we want to drink never will I go back there again and we are a family of 6 and they did not even try to Service us or not even look our way read more

I love to wind down at 361 and hang with the bartenders and locals. Great atmosphere and everyone makes you feel like famILY. =)

New owner recently, same bar, new staff and great atmosphere. One of my favorite stops in Port Aransas, has a new owner (sad to see that happen). So far nothing has changed, same place, same business, but glad that nothing did change! read more

Omg, we walked in to watch some sports. We were surprised by the people sitting at the bar smoking. Not nice. We left immediately.

I am from out of town and not from the area at all but we enjoy bars with pool tables so we came to check out 361 bar. The bar itself is pretty spacious, full bar, a little kitchen, and i think you can smoke in there too. The vibes were a little different compared to other bars we went to in the area, it was more of a "country back porch" kind of bar. Our bartender was very friendly, quick, and outgoing/welcoming. I didnt go late at night i went in the mid day so it was laid back not alot of people read more

Not a place for tourists. We had one guy fondling our friends arm, luckily he didn't have a watch on that he was obviously trying to steal. And thank goodness my husband was outside the bathroom waiting for me when I went. A guy tried to follow me in, my husband stopped him and the guy said sorry and walked away. He didn't have it confused for the men's bc he didn't go to the men's after that. VERY lucky that a) our friend didn't have his watch on and b) my husband was outside the bathroom door. Locals are ok here, but tourists are not. read more

Great location, awesome specials, cool ambiance. Jeff was more than welcoming and helpful. Bathrooms are super clean as well!

The ambience here is best described as occlusive, to the point almost of being hostile. Yes, we are tourists. However, with all of the competing bars and restaurants you would think this place would be a little more welcoming to new people. It's obviously the local watering hole and they want to keep it that way. Do yourselves a favor and steer clear! read more

Bar w good service and great ritas what more can you ask for ?? Mike makes em how every bartender should... less xxx sec more tequila! Perfection. read more

Greeted with an attitude from the female bartender to start.... only got worse from there margarita was horrible . Were down here asd supporting local biz after the hurricane and got nothing but attitude and bs only came in to watch game and have fun ...... pissed off and disappointed to say the least . Do not come here pls read more

Very nice bartender Jeff. Good bar games and apply stocked bar. Great beer specials daily. Definitely a local place and a good place to get some cold beer in a cool environment. Be aware this is a smoking allowed establishment. Didn't really bother us at the moment but later when we walked out smelling like smoke we decided we would only go back again in cooler weather and could sit outside on the nice patio. Nothing bad to say about the place and the Cancun restaurant next-door will even deliver food to you. Just not being smokers and would prevent us from rushing back. read more

This bar has come so far! The hours have improved, the atmosphere, the selection, all of it! This bar is clean, comfortable, and very accommodating. Best place to catch any sports or tv event; they have TVs everywhere with awesome sound. Also one of the few places you can enjoy a $2 beer AND high-end craft beers and cocktails. Can't say enough about this bar! read more

Went on a Friday evening in June around 10:30 and the place was dead. The karaoke guy even left at 11:00. Beer tasted fine, how can you mess that up? It was fine for seating down and having a few drinks with friends, but that's about all. read more

Nice, quiet, clean, non smoking atmosphere. Several flat screens and two big screens for sports. Service is okay. A nice break from the heat in the summer. read more

If you're not a local....don't go there! You won't be welcome. Bartender ignored us to the point we walked out after sitting there for quite awhile. Heavy smoking, dogs inside and a little fight between the two broke out. Wierd vibe. read more

So disappointed! Looking at reviews, this bar was supposed to be "smoke free"! I was so excited about getting to see Bubba Flex and left because the bar was like walking into a smoke house! read more

We walked in expecting a laid back place to chill and relax. Based upon reviews we were expecting a beach town bar that was nice and not too much of a dive. We walked in and THREE persons were at the bar and we were immediately smacked with the strongest reek of cigarette smoke. We looked at each other and left, will never go back. Disappointed for sure!! read more

I just want to say that I enjoyed this bar so much! My friends and I all work in the service industry and made this trip to Port A for much needed vacation. When I looked up a bar near our place 361 popped up. The reviews weren't the best, however if you are looking for a dive, great atmosphere and an awesome bartender (Mike) please go here! It's super laid back and my friends loved playing pool there! Thank you 361 for being the best! read more

I tried to give this business NO stars as the new owners have no interest in enforcing ethics, integrity, or adequate customer service. First and foremost, The highly protected bartender Lisa loves Don Julio and will help herself and her friends to as much of it as she sees fit on YOUR tab. My boyfriend and I were charged for 24 Don Julio shots that we didn't order between 8pm and 10pm when we left back to the condo. My friend closed our tab for us @ approx 12:15am and questioned the $451.00 tab that had been racked up in 3 hours by 4 people. Lisa said yeah it's correct and who cares it's not your card. Needles to say the owners refuse to do the right thing and take the bottle of Don off our tab after 3 weeks. They also claim THEY HAVE NO VIDEO SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS when asked for video proof of the shots being ordered and passed over the bar. I just want some justice and it's blatantly obvious that no matter how much fact or math is presented to the owners; they refuse to admit and remedy their personnel issue. DO NOT ENTER this establishment unless you intend to pay cash for every round or you will be robbed! read more

I love the no smoking. So hard to have a few beers or wine in a clean non smelly environment. The Coastal Club has it. Wish they had a Texas Hold'em night..lol I could bring lotsa my "Winter Texan" Friends read more

New bartender Raquel is so awesome.... she is welcoming and on top of things... the service was incredible and this bar is still a blast... even though i am no longer there miss tina (the new manager) has done an excellent job on hiring and running this place. I totally recommend stopping in to meet raquel... customer service is outstanding and meet thei the manager tina, She is more than willing to make your trip a memorable one. Still no smoking so they made their patio so much more comfortable for us who want to have a cig. Definitely still the place to visit on the island. I have left this bar before to work at another place and to be honest never wanted to recommend it at that time.... Raquel is the reason i will be back on my nights off!!! read more

Nice to have a smoke free bar but the bartender smokes and she spent all her time outside on the back porch smoking and sitting with her friends. To get service we had to disrupt our conversation and leave our table, go outside and find her, ask her to come in and serve us. Irritating. Why not stay home and fix your own drinks. This is a nice club but the owners need to pay closer attention to who is running the place. read more

They have the tools. Outdoor seating, big tvs, pool and air hockey. Went on Sunday afternoon during NFL time and it was dead. Good service,needs a little TLC for ambiance. read more

361 Bar - Sports Bars Near Me - Port Aransas, Texas

Fun bar! Clean and newer than most in Port A. We visited twice while in town and bartender was friendly and tabs were reasonable on both visits. They have pool, darts, golden tee, and ntn games and had karoke on Tuesday when we were there. They also had a patio, but we stayed inside as it was a little cool during our visit. Overall, we had a great time at 361. read more

To start with the new transplant owner went on and on about hating locals and, even with his diminuitive stature, he had threatened to "break the neck" of one patron. Over and over he said it. He obviously likes young bartenders more than his wife, who was also there. Beer is beer and bar food is what it is. Nothing special and we will not likely go back. They should leave the patrons alone or hire someone who has a clue how to hostess, with less aggression. He obviously has issues about having been fired from his last job, which He should keep to himself anyway. Yes i know far to much about them from only one visit read more

Love this bar! Clean, comfortable, and relaxing. The owner and staff are fun, fast, and friendly. The prices are right. The music is great, and ladies the bathrooms are spotless. read more

Lisa is a great manager and bartender. She makes very one feel well me. Great specials on shots. Good music line ups and cold air conditioning and SMOKE FREE!!!!! Best part is no smoke read more

We wondering in here before checking into our rental house. It had just opened so it was relatively empty but the bartender was friendly and drinks were reasonably priced. Most of the other people in there appeared to be regulars which always gives it a great vibe. Next time we will definitely stop back in an evening and especially to check out the live music. read more
