Visited March 6th, 2021 with my little Mini Aussie and had a great time. Great beer. Atmosphere was amazing and peeps pouring the drinks were chill af. First time there and really enjoyed the "..honey.." something. Don't recall the whole name but it was great. Also for food, on this particular day there was a pizza truck. Will visit again. read more

Great little brewery near the Village. VERY dog friendly, In fact i think you have to have one to enter. Jk. Could have used a little more variety then a bunch of IPAs but I guess thats the market. read more

I was super excited about a brewery down the streets from where I lived. The brewery is only opened on the weekend so keep that in mind when you're trying to come here. The place is small with the parking somewhere (not entirely sure since I biked here). It gives off a fun chill vibe as the place is an opened space. The brewery is very simple with a limited selection of beers to choose from. The beers are darker than how I like mine to be but still good. I love how dog friendly this place is though with the giant dogs as the wall background. Come check out this place if you're in the area! read more

Brand new in the Rice Village area. Basically across the street from Under the Volcano. This has a great laid back vibe, with a long bar, a few tables inside, and a significant outdoor area. They serve proper imperial pints and half pints. I always appreciate that. Service is great. The owners and bartenders try to accommodate everyone, and do a good job of that. Right now they only have 4 taps. A SMASH IPA, a West Coast IPA, Stout, and Honey Wheat. I was really impressed with how clean and balanced they are from the start. The SMASH is among the better IPA's in Houston as is. They have room for about 18 taps, I don't know if they plan on having unique beers for each, doubling up on some, or having guest taps? Though will be looking forward to seeing these guys grow, and feel the quality is a step above some of the other newer breweries around. A great spot in the Rice Village area. read more

This brewery is brand spanking new in the West University area and overall has pretty good beers! It has some steep competition with some of the other breweries in Houston. Two things it needs for 5 stars: Expanded bathrooms! Expanded seating! Other than that I really like this place, this place have AMAZING garage doors that they open at night for an amazing indoor and outdoor experience. read more

Wonderful neighborhood brewery. Small private parking lot. Next door to a place that also serves wine. They usually have food trucks. Freshest and best IPAs (try the momo!). Friendly owners who are almost always on site. Very dog friendly. Couple of TVs. Close to rice village. Friendly overall vibe. Parking can be rough on a busy day. read more

Super cute (brand new) brewery located in West University. It's not very spacious like other H-town breweries, but it's worth adding to your rotation. There's an industrial warehouse feel with massive garage doors that open up to the patio (which somewhat doubles as the parking lot). No food, but you're more than welcome to order delivery, or enjoy the featured food truck of the night. There wasn't a food truck during our visit, but I'm told there's usually one present on weekends. The beer = solid! The staff was so pleasant and offered to serve us samples of every beer on tap. They were all pretty hop-heavy, which is okay with me! Plus, their beer is original, in-house brewed, so support these H-town brewers! PRO TIP: If you're not a beer drinker (what is wrong with you?), you're more than welcome to bring over a glass of wine from the wine bar next door! read more

Was in town from California and stopped by for some beers. It did not disappoint. The beer was all awesome but my favorite was the Masinghorn IPA. Also grabbed some barbecue from a food vendor on site. Incredible vibes all around. read more

Baileson Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Houston, Texas

I was so excited to see a brewery open up closer to me and away from midtown! This place is only open Friday-Sunday, so unfortunately you can't do a mini happy hour after work there. Also, this place is quite small (as many micro-breweries are). There's some seating indoors, but people seem to mainly sit outside on the picnic tables. They had a food truck when I went, but if you're so close to rice village it'd be easy to grab food from somewhere around there and then head over. I'm a lover of coffee and thus a lover of stouts, so thats the only thing I got here. Their stout is made using House of Coffee beans, so I like that they keep it in the Rice Village family. It was a good coffee stout. I think I still prefer Rocket Fuel over it, but 8th Wonder sets the bar pretty high. A pint of beer is only $6 and I think if you get a flight its $3 per tasting? Just get the pint. I don't think they have any Baileson pint glasses you can have and bring again and again, but perhaps that will change once they're opened for a bit longer. There's TVs everywhere also, and it looked like they're pretty big Astros fans, so if you want to watch the game, this would be your place. I love that this brewery has more of a neighborhood vibe than a hipster vibe. It makes it feel a little cozier :) read more

This is one of our new favorite places! It's a pretty small brewery which means you get to meet the owners (who are really sweet people), but they usually only have ~5 beers on tap. The great news is all their beer is delicious. I'm definitely more of an IPA fan and their Amarillo Hopkins is fantastic. My gf is more of a stout drinker and she's loved all their darker beers. They sell their beers in a full pint or half pint which makes trying all of them even easier! The whole place is dog friendly which is a huge plus for us. They have a different food truck each night - check their Facebook for who is scheduled to be there. And they have a deal with the wine place next door for any of your non-beer friends. You can buy wine next door and bring it over to Baileson. The only downside to this place is that they're only open Fri-Sun! read more

Here for the grand opening. Nice little brewery in the Rice Village neighborhood. Full craft beer selections as well as half pint portions if you want to try more brews! read more

Baileson Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Houston, Texas

Stopped for Tila's Taco truck and loved the beer at Baileaon's. Parking was full so we had to park around the corner. Pretty sure we were the only ones there without a dog with us so I'm assuming they are very pet friendly. So most importantly the beers we had were great. I had the honey wheat and my bf had the coffee porter. Some of the better flavors compared to other Houston breweries. Definitely worth a stop! And if you're lucky enough to go when Tila's Taco truck is there you have to try it- delicious!! (Only down side is limited parking and too many IPA choices vs non IPA) Cheers read more

Very cool dog friendly brewery. Only 5 beers currently on tap, the 3 I had were great. read more

This neighborhood brewery is the perfect hangout and is exactly what Houston's Rice Village/West U. Area needs. I'm all for supporting small businesses and the owners of this establishment couldn't make it any easier. They're a wonderful couple and absolutely made us out-of-towners feel right at home. They focus on great beer and a fun atmosphere, and have created an environment where everyone really does know your name (cue Cheers music). Dogs are welcome, they have homemade healthy dog biscuits on deck for mans best friend. The place itself is named after their dogs Bailey and Jameson, and each of their beer names have a personal story behind them. This will be your new favorite spot if you like good people, good beer, and good business. Can't wait to go back next time we're in Texas. read more

Excellent beer! I really enjoyed the "mo mo," (hazy ipa) especially. The place is small and filled up almost instantly upon opening on a Friday. That is a good sign though, right? Definitely a little warm to be sitting outside before 8pm in the Houston summer but the delicious cold beer made it worthwhile. Definitely worth a try. I will be back! read more

New favorite place to go sit with the dogs and have a beer. The beer is fantastic and fresh! Best neighborhood hangout.

My first outing since returning to Houston during these COVID times was to pick up a Crowler and several new T-shirts from Baileson. Softest T-shirts ever and of course the Chosen Family beer is refreshing and delicious. I'll be back! read more

This place is a fantastic brewery with custom brews on tap, great staff, and overall cool ambiance. There aren't a ton of variety on tap, but that's a good thing in my book. There are currently 7 beers to choose from. I would say, if you're in town and wanna hang out in a small brewery with cool people, don't think twice. Get over here. P.S. You can bring your favorite snack/food in and enjoy while you enjoy one of their brews. read more

Stopped in on a random Sunday to try it out and this place did not disappoint! Super yummy beer selection and incredibly friendly staff.

One of the better Hazy IPA's I've had. Nice chill day drinking spot with friendly staff. Busy area so parking is limited. Didn't see any decals to add to my collection. Help a brotha out guys read more

Their beer is delicious. I drove all the way from Pearland, and I'm super glad I did. I had one of their delicious Hazy IPAs and their Oktoberfest. I'm picky about Oktoberfest Beers, I usually only like Oktoberfest beers from German breweries, but this one was on point. I brought my puppah and sat on one of the parking blocks because next to the neighboring wall was the only shade and one of the girls brought me a table. Awesome people. Come here. Drink some beer. Tip well. read more

What a cool neighborhood spot. Great beer, friendly staff, dog-friendly, non-pretentious customers, and a Tila's Taco truck parked outside.

My husband and I visited this wonderful craft brewery based off a recommendation from The Galaxie Jewelers. I'm not a huge fan or connoisseur of beer, but the bartenders recommended different samples until we found one we loved -- Saguaro Saison! It was so good! If you're looking for a laid back vibe, friendly bartenders, and great beer, COME HERE! read more

If you are looking for 3/4 filled cups of mediocre beer at bar prices then come here. Honestly most of the beer tastes like dirty dish water. Thankfully they are only open a few days a week so not to offend to many taste buds. If you are stuck on this block of Bissonnet, do yourself a favor and go across the street to Under the Volcano... where they know how to treat people. read more

I enjoyed the Octoberfest and appreciated it being cold. I liked it better than what I had at the new SA place last weekend.

I bar tend and live in the area so I try to make a point to visit and sample the new breweries popping up around Houston. As much as it's going to pain me to say this (because I want to keep the crowds away), Baileson is probably my top pick for new brewery from the past few years and pushed itself among the top of my overall Houston favorites. As a new venture, their operation is pretty bare bones, but it's got the amenities you need. Clean, relaxed indoor and outdoor seating, dog-friendly, and they managed to bring in an outside food vendor (Blue Smoke BBQ, another new venture) to handle the crowd. As for the beer, I have to say: well done. The coffee porter was smooth and flavorful, both IPAs were true to their style and very repeatable, and the rest of their lineup, an Oktoberfest and Honey Wheat were also very well done. I'm eager to both return for their current brews and to also see what else they try to master. Many breweries have one or two stinkers on the menu, but Baileson's whole line was solid. I've nothing but praise for these folks and I hope they are able to transition from their day jobs to running the brewery full-time. Our neighborhood needs a local brewery to call our own and these guys completely nailed it. I'm certain I'll be back time and time again. read more

One of my favorite Houston breweries. The place is small and nice, the beer is excellent, and they are dog friendly!

Great addition to Rice Village neighborhood. The brewers rehabbed a derelict auto repair building and have carved out a small, engaging tap room and brewery- has an authentic, grunge vibe, in a good way. No food, but food truck is often on site. Feel free to import victuals. Beers were excellent; proud owners were behind the bar. Flights, pints and half pours available (the latter always welcome to allow grazing). Well done ! read more

Small and intimate with a very friendly staff. The honey nugget beer is my personal favorite!

Friendly staff. Small intimate space. Will be a great in warm weather when garage doors are open. Great addition to the West U/ Rice University area. We will be back. read more

People were nice but the beer was nothing special. There is very limited parking so you may have to walk. They have both indoor and outdoor seating as well as a food truck and are dog friendly. read more

Visiting Houston for the night and went to Thai brewery to try some new beers. Everyone was SO friendly! The beers were so good too. They don't have flights, but they will let you sample beers if you want. There wasn't a beer I didn't like. I loved their Oktoberfest! It was so smooth! read more

Selection was very IPA-Heavy and they did not have any dark beers at the time, which made it difficult for me to find something I liked. Parking was limited, but overall it's a great atmosphere. My ale was pretty good. read more

The service and brews were disappointing Our first and last trip The beers at 8th Wonder, Holler and St Arnold's are superior The service made us feel unwelcome No second chances when one is not wanted read more

Great beer! Fun local vibe. The owners are almost always there and take a lot of pride in their brewery and make people feel welcome. Dog friendly. read more

Awesome beer and atmosphere! We came in on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't terribly busy. Small inside area but there is outdoor seating as well. Beer is tasty, we tried the Oktoberfest and the Honey Wheat. Both were really good, we will definitely come back. There is a food truck parked out front too in case you get hungry! read more
