    Nothing beats a good bartender!
    Jose O.

    Chiquita's was recommended to us because it opened the earliest of the gay bars in El Paso, and it was described as a dive bar which my partner and I prefer. It is unpretentious, but we've experienced WAY more divey places than this one. Chiquita's is pretty nice as dive bars go. Our bartender, Jonathan, was friendly and attentive. The drinks were reasonably priced, but don't look for a 200 vodka selection, 50 craft beers or 15 taps. It's got the basic goods, and that was fine for us. It's not a big place and the decor is minimal with a couple of interesting features. Friendly service in the afternoon for a couple of hours (2-4 pm), a jukebox, a pool table, an interesting clientele (probably gay) and located in their El Paso Pride Square where you can walk to the 4-5 (?) other bars (we didn't). I deduct a star for their parking and the bathroom plumbing. We parked on the street with a meter ($2 for two hours). I presume there's other parking at the other bars nearby. The men's room was very clean, but the urinal didn't flush. We probably would have stayed much longer, but we had business to attend to. Next time we're in EP, we'll allow for more time.

    First of all, don't be fooled by my own rating. This bar is not for everyone. A friend of mine describes this place as "the kind of joint where you can walk in with a 20 and walk out with alcohol poisoning." And they do have awesome drink specials. But aside from friendly staff and regulars and the fact that it lacks the meat-market feeling of the other gay bars, the best thing about this bar is that there's always something interesting going on for people of an anthropological disposition, like myself. If you don't wanna be seen at the kind of place where cholos wearing fur coats dance with big black drag queens to Salt-N-Pepa, maybe you should go to the Briar instead.

    I will always be a loyal fan of Later, Later. There is something nostalgic about this bar for me…read moreand my hometown, that I can't get enough of this spot. This is the OG spot for me for my Topo Chico cocktails (way before I saw the trend throughout the states) and dance vibes ambiance. Later, Later embodies the spirit of El Paso in the sense that it's family and you'll always run into someone from your childhood past. Everyone is just living life and looking to have a good time. It's a bit of a smaller bar hence the lines, but so is any bar that has a popular stamp on them. Everytime I come to Later, Later it never fails on me. Super nostalgic for me and I'll continue coming back every time I'm back in town. Never had any issues here and the staff has always been super friendly.

    There are definitely better places to go in El Paso. The atmosphere felt more like a frat house…read moreparty than a club, which wasn't really my vibe. Unfortunately, my purse was stolen while I was there. I noticed it almost immediately and was able to cancel all of my cards before they could be used, thankfully. I also filed a police report. What really disappointed me was finding out that the club was not willing to work with the police department when it came to providing the surveillance footage. I understand that theft can happen anywhere, but I expected the club to be more helpful when something like this happens on their property. Overall, my experience was disappointing, and I personally wouldn't choose to go back.

    We had dinner at Oak & Antler while visiting El Paso from Colorado, and let me tell you…read more.. everything was absolutely delicious and fantastic! We ordered the Steak Frites, Brussels sprouts, the burger, cocktails, and finished with the peach cobbler and every single thing was amazing. The food, the ambiance, the service, and the hospitality were all top-notch. Our server was wonderful, but what really made the experience stand out was how welcoming everyone was. The owner stopped by our table to say hello and ask how we were enjoying everything, and even brought us some shots. The chef also came out to check on us and make sure we were enjoying our meal. Those little personal touches made the experience feel so special. We were visiting from Colorado, and honestly, this was probably one of the highlights of our trip! There's just something so enjoyable about great food, good conversation, and meeting wonderful locals along the way. I'm not sure when, or if we'll make it back to El Paso, but I would absolutely come back just to eat here again. If you're in the area, you truly can't go wrong with Oak & Antler!

    Oh gosh where to start???? The decor is awesome. The…read morehospitality beats that, and the bev and food beats all!! So I say "bev & food," because the beverages come first. I had a watermelon, mint and tequila cocktail that was as advertised, "summer in a glass!" The comes a braised short rib and Oregon Pinot Noir - both to die for. The puree under the ribs and pumpkin seeds made all the textures and tastes wonderful. (And shame on me. I was so excited by that plate I forgot to take a picture!!) Nooow add in my server, Solomon, and it's nearly a party! But then... here comes the Chef to check on me, and his name?? FREEDOM!! Just soak that in! This is a can't miss spot if you're in El Paso.
