We were greeted right away by the wonderful owner. This place is a dog HEAVEN! I love places that treat dogs like the royalty they are. The yard is spacious and mostly fenced in... it may be entirely fenced in when there isn't an event like the cruise night going on. Tons of places to sit. Great local beer selection. Friendly bartenders. This is a great place to stop just to relax in the shade with your best friend, or attend one of their awesome and often events. I'm already looking forward to the next one!

It honestly pains me to write this because I've really loved Penny's over the past six months…read more My husband and I started coming here in May 2025 because it was advertised as dog friendly and had great craft beer, something we both love and even brew ourselves. On our first visit, we learned about the late Penny, the dog the farm was built in memory of. The staff were kind, told us our dog was welcome to visit anytime, and we've been regulars ever since, usually stopping by once a week. Tonight, I arrived a few minutes before my husband and took our dog to the garden like we always do to pay our respects to Penny. After less than two minutes, a woman suddenly screamed at me to "get out immediately." I was shocked, since I'd never seen her before and thought she might be yelling at the nearby kids playing football. But it turned out she was yelling at me. I left right away and said, "I'm so sorry, I thought we were allowed in here. I've never been told otherwise." She shouted, "I'm the owner. Get your dog out of there." I said, "Ma'am, I'm complying, but your staff have always told me this was fine. You may want to clear that up with them." She replied, "I'll have a talk with them." I was really shaken up and waited for my husband to arrive. When we went inside, the owner asked to speak with me and said, "The only thing I'll apologize for is that the 'no dogs allowed' sign fell off. The woman I was with told me you sounded absolutely crazy and combative." My husband started recording because of how unprofessional she was being. I explained, "I think trying to talk across a field can make anyone sound upset. I just wanted to clarify that I've always been told dogs were allowed." She said again, "Well, you sounded absolutely crazy." I ended the conversation by saying, "We must have different communication styles. I'm going inside to enjoy the place I came to support tonight." Once inside, several other customers came up to me, telling me they'd had similar experiences with the owner's rude and combative behavior. To be clear, I completely understand if the owner doesn't want dogs in certain areas. That's her right. The issue is how this was handled. * The owner was unnecessarily aggressive and unprofessional. * There's no clear signage about where dogs are allowed. * The staff clearly haven't been trained consistently on this policy. Every other staff member I've met here has been wonderful, which makes this even more disappointing. I hope the owner takes this feedback seriously, because no customer deserves to be yelled at for following the same directions they've been given for months.

Axelrad is one of those spots that show up on every must visit in Houston list. After visiting a…read morefew times I can see why. Vibes are chill, beer selection is vast, they have some nice frozen drinks and cocktails as well. There's almost always some sort of event going on so it's a nice place to just stop by and check out if you have some time to chill. I've liked that there are random events and they can be hit or miss. Sometimes there's interesting musical guests, sometimes there are various vendors, sometimes there's a movie night. Regardless, I know I have a pretty good time and will be treated kindly by all the staff.

They have different events happening most nights and they're pretty laid back. I'll definitely come back.

Intro: Pearland doesn't have a ton of watering holes so I was excited when I heard about Rob Ray's…read moreTaproom from a friend. Located off of Fite Road, they have a gravel parking lot. We stopped by for Trivia Night on a weekday and the parking lot was completely full. I ended up parking on the street a few minutes away by foot. Ambiance (3/5): Rob Ray's is a casual, no frills, open air taproom. Most of the seating is at picnic-style tables. After a while, I grabbed a chair to have some back support. There's also no A/C so I imagine it can get pretty toasty when it's hot outside. The walls are covered with flags of different colleges. I found my alma mater, the University of Michigan, which was pretty awesome! Service (4.5/5): You order at the bar. The service is friendly and even Rob Ray was there. He introduced himself and asked if it was my first time. There was a bit of a line at some points but it moved quickly. Food (N/A): While they don't serve food, they do allow you to bring food. There's a taco joint across the street and they have a menu at Rob Ray's. You can call in and pick up your order. Drinks (4/5): Now this is what we're here for! They have a nice selection of beers on tap and bottled beer. I'm all about the variety and trying new beers so that's what I did. Every single beer I tried was one I had never had before. They also have some seltzers. If you're looking for a deal, you can buy tokens at a flat rate. They also allow you to make donations with your purchase to firefighters, nurses, police officers, etc. which is a really nice touch. It makes giving back easy if you'd like to do so! Overall: While I wish they had A/C and the seating was a little more comfortable, I would definitely return to try out some more of their beers. Trivia was a good time too. They had prizes for first and second place. While my team didn't win, we fought valiantly until the end!

Unfortunately, the experience was nothing like a sports bar. The music was blaring so loudly it felt more like a nightclub -- you couldn't enjoy the game, and you couldn't even have a conversation at the table.Several guests asked the manager on duty to turn the volume down so people could actually watch the games, and he refused, saying people were "paying to listen to the jukebox."It's disappointing to have a neighborhood spot that use to be a great place to watch sports but doesn't prioritize the actual sports experience. We won't be back for games. So much for having a cool sports bar nearby.

This is one of those spots that just makes a great low key neighborhood bar. The parking out front…read moreis small, but you can usually find a spot around if it's full. They have plenty of tables inside and seating at the bar. The patio area has a nice covered area with some TVs, typically with a local sports game on. Typically at least a couple of families are around, either playing a game or just enjoying the patio with a cold pint. Food & Drink - 4.75* Great local craft beer selection! Definitely give the wall a close look as there's probably something you haven't tried unless you frequent the place already. For food, they have plenty to choose from. Starter and shareables such as chips & queso, pretzels, flautas, or spinach & artichoke dip. For mains you can grab a salad or a guilty pleasure like burgers, wings, and chicken sandwiches. I've had plenty of the items and have never been disappointed. I definitely recommend the onion rings if you go with a sandwich meal. That's not to say the tots or fries are bad, it's just their onion rings are really on point. On Thursday they do ribeye night, so give it a go if you're looking for something a bit more substantial. Service - 4* I've found generally speaking the service is pretty good when ordering at the bar. They can get a little busy at times and slow, but never egregious. Everyone is quite friendly when you ask questions and looking for some recommendations. Cost - 4.25* Always subjective, for me, I find their pricing pretty good for an above average pint and burger. If I were to knock it a little, I think some of the larger brewers "easy drinking" lighter beers could carry a slightly less cost, or maybe run more "specials" to sell at volume with thinner margin. Just a suggestion. Overall, I've never been turned off by any of the pricing. It's definitely refreshing to support local brewers and a local bar more than going to some of the more corporate establishments that sit nearby. Overall - 4.5* Whether you live nearby or need a good meetup location for family and friends around the city, this is a spot I'd recommend to anyone seeking a laid back family atmosphere.
