It's nowhere near me, but I still enjoy making the trip because I always feel welcomed. I especially love the live music and the vibes. It's laid-back, comfortable, and unpretentious, with that neighborhood hangout feeling that can be hard to find. The patio is great, the food and drinks hit the spot, and it's just a fun place to relax and enjoy yourself. If you want something chill with a neighborhood hangout vibe, this is the place. Whether I'm listening to the live music, having a drink, or just enjoying the atmosphere, I always have a good time. Definitely one of my favorite Houston spots.

It is very small inside and they try to crowd in as many seats as possible so it's hard to get through them when crowded. The bathrooms are bar bathrooms, sooo.... The best menu item I have had and will always get when in the area, their potato wedges. I take them togo too and after a 30 minute drive they're still great and massive.

It's typically a pretty good place to go you just have to know that some nights they will have…read moreleague nights so the pool tables will be taken. Sometimes there's weirdos in there just being obnoxious but if you're lucky they will leave you alone. Sometimes you get lucky and there's food but if you go at night it's probably been sitting out all day so I would not recommend eating it at that point. I will say that the bartender I have had a slight problem because depending on which one it is if you go and try to close out or get a drink she will get the order for the woman before the man even if they're there at the same time. Because me and my husband's friend each went to go close at our tabs before all of us left and she closed out my tab before she even got his and after she handed me my receipt to sign she walked off and started pouring more drinks which is honestly honestly rude.

We even got to chat with the owner and hear the history behind Marquis. Just really great service and atmosphere!

After having dinner next door at George's we wandered over to Marquis II for a nightcap. What you…read moresee on the outside is pretty much the vibe on the inside. It's pretty much a dive bar in the middle of the West U area. There's billiards, darts, and other games. It almost feels like an old house transformed into a watering hole The bar itself is mostly fully stocked. They have plenty of beer on tap and they can certainly whip up a cocktail for you The staff were friendly and professional enough. The drinks were made with care and in a timely manner. I will say a handful of our cocktails tasted "off" like the French 75 tasted nothing like a French 75. It may have been the gin, but it just wasn't at all refreshing. Also, the drinks themselves were pricey for what the experience and quality is Some tips: Play darts while you're there. Normally bar darts look like they've seen better days and they're barely hanging on, but these ones were actually clutch They are known for their Texas Teas, and they're so strong that they have a 3 Tea Maximum rule Theres typically plenty of parking, but as always, when going to bars or for a nightcap I recommend using ride share programs Cheers!

The patio in the back is about the only positive thing I have to say about the place. If by "dive" you mean a sorta' dirty, sorta' cheap looking, sorta' only looking for the community bicycle .... then yep, it's a dive. Unlike Catbird's (the only per se "dive" I have ever made repeat visits to) which is fun and has interesting/friendly/nice people, this place attracts sort of a who's-who of scumbags and people you generally do not want to be associated with: known wife-beaters, delinquent child support payors, patheti-sad people in their 40s still reveling in how cool they were in high school, and alcoholics that have just recently given up on even doing laundry once a month to have a shirt clean enough to make an appearance over at Molly's. It is depressing in the bad way - and bars are supposed to be happy places. That is why the patio is the only good thing - get away from the zombie horde inside and seek refuge with whoever you managed to drag here (because they probably did not know better.) If you think of Moe's Tavern from the Simpsons, the prototypical episodes where a bunch of old fat men depressingly drink in silence, as a totally sweet bar - then you would like this place. read more

Getting to this area from Pearland is much easier than heading into Houston so I was more than happy to come here. I've been here a couple of times and the most recent visit brought me and a party bus full of friends here on a Saturday night. The place gets busy but parking hasn't been an issue on any of my visits. It's a narrow bar that may seem tight, but it keeps going towards the back with more seating as well as a spacious patio. Customer service is always great and the bartenders know their stuff here. They have a pretty extensive drink menu here and there is something for everyone's preferences. They have a long list of cocktails and they can make you anything you want as well. The staff are experts here. They also have an impressive bourbon collections with about 200 kinds to choose from. Along with their cocktails, they have a long list of martinis. I love a good martini and here they have so many options. You can't go wrong with my favorite espresso martini, but the one that wowed me here was the Cucumber Patch. Cucumber flavor profile is not typically something I seek out, but I was in the mood for something refreshing and this was suggested to me. Get it and thank me later. As far as food goes, they have a separate BBQ business on site that sells some food. Don't sleep on the Bay Area if you are looking for a nice cocktail. This place will quickly be one of your favorites. I will surely be back.

Wow. WOW is the word to describe this place…read more Let me tell you about Bella the bartender, the BEST bartender I have ever encountered in my entire life. And listen, I'm basically a certified alcoholic (just kidding... allegedly), so trust me when I say I know a good drink when I taste one. I've sampled enough lovely liquors in my day to know what's good and what's just overpriced sadness in a glass. Bella is COMMITTED to her craft. She literally told me she studies cocktail recipes day and night. Like... how cute is that? Meanwhile I can barely commit to folding my laundry. Then she proceeds to make me the SMOOTHEST, yummiest espresso martini my tastebuds have ever had the privilege of experiencing. One sip and I was astonished, emotional, slightly turned on, all of the above. This woman has the shake hands of a goddess. I think I fell in love a little bit. Also, shoutout to the super friendly man in the Hawaiian shirt and Bob Ross-style beret. He brought immaculate vibes to the whole place and made the experience even better (for the most part). Anyways, the drinks at this place are phenomenal. 1000% give this place a try. And if you get Bella as your bartender, congratulations- you ARE one of God's favorites.
