Cool spot, but we didn't realize they were very close to closing early. Beer is decent, just a little more pricier than your average brewery. Parking is about a block away, so be prepared to walk.

My family lives about 5 minutes from this restaurant and I never even knew it! Glad I came across this place, very beautiful environment, lots of space to hang out. Already looking forward to going back so I can see more of what this place has to offer. Got the Cluck City Sandwich, pretty good, I did wish it came with a few more fried pickles (I only like got 2 ) The chicken was good, breading was great, but I think the juice of the chicken made the sandwich get soggy a bit too quickly. The fries that came with it were very good, nice and crispy and great flavor. The staff was very friendly, always keeping an eye out for what customers may need. Can't wait to go back when I visit my family in Houston again to try the beer and the games! I did see they had a game room, so I'm very intrigued to see what games they have!

Food was great, the employees are super sweet and helpful. Love this cute, quiet and hidden spot. We live in the area and have been wanting to stop by and glad we finally remembered.

Absolutely loved our visit to City Acre Brewery! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel right at home--warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. The new menu is full of exciting and creative options, and we had a hard time choosing what to try first (a good problem to have!). The handcrafted sodas are a unique and refreshing touch, and the beer? Outstanding. You can really taste the care and craft that goes into every pour. We were lucky enough to chat with the brewer--charming, passionate, and clearly dedicated to making the experience special for everyone who visits. And the food! The burgers are absolutely next level--made in-house, juicy, flavorful, and perfectly paired with the brews. You can tell there's a lot of heart behind everything they do here. We couldn't recommend City Acre Brewery more and are already looking forward to our next visit!

Don't let the first impression of the location fool you. We were met with excellent customer service a super cool outdoor area, and expansive library of board games to play while we waited. We were blown away by the food! What a great way to start our trip to Houston! Highly recommend!!

This community is lucky to have such an awesome space. The brewery has tasty beer and food, plus they have a very unique game building and a huge variety games. Definitely the most expansive example I've seen of that, I wish I lived in the area!

A stop on the #FiftyTXBreweriesBy50Tour We've been to City Acre many times and they never disappoint. This time, we included a hamburger. O. M. G. So good. We also had the fries...might try the tots next time. Good people Good brew Good food

Came here with my family to meet up for lunch and greatly enjoyed our visit. There was plenty of room outside for the kids to play, and they are dog friendly. We ordered a couple of beers and food. The guy helping us navigate the food and beers was super friendly and very helpful. We sample some beers and then ordered our food. My little cousins enjoyed their house made rootbeers, and we enjoyed their berry IPA and Mesa Cerveza. Food came out pretty quickly, and overall, it was really good. The chicken for the chicken and waffles was very moist and had the perfect crunchy skin. The only tiny issue I had was that the waffles were very sweet. With the hot syrup it it was a little sweetness overload. There tots, though, are AMAZING! Excited to go back to try more!

It's located in a neighborhood of a part of town that I typically don't go to, but it's not that far from downtown. There's a large parking lot so parking isn't an issue either....win! And it's the perfect COVID gathering or date spot as all tables are outdoors and properly spaced out. It's a very chill and cute atmosphere with the gardens on the side and trees. Feels like an outdoor party in someone's backyard. Menus are also accessible via QR code and hand sanitizer is provided. They had a more extensive drink menu than I expected for a microbrewery, so even if you don't drink or like beer you have options, which is very nice. We visited during Oktoberfest weekend and the food was surprisingly very good! Excellent service also from the staff. Great food, great beer...you really can't ask for anything more!

A low key environment with great beer and great food and wings. Get a flight or two so you can try them all. Will be back again.

How have I never reviewed Saint Arnold Brewing Company?!…read more It's the longest running craft brewery in Texas, having won countless national awards. Though I don't drink beer anymore, I love that they do have a line of ciders and sparkling water at the brewery; and they have a few wine options. Most recently, I had their pizza margherita (made with cauliflower pizza crust, per my request). It was surprisingly very good! I wasn't expecting much, but it was crispy and had zesty pesto sauce that made it even better. If you don't want to order from their kitchen, they do have food trucks and other artisan vendors, entertainment. Do a tour if you can. It's kid and dog-friendly. And it's a great spot to watch some sports on their big screen with views of the downtown Houston skyline. Also, love that SA supports so many non-profit events. High community involvement...

For $15 plus $5 for chicken, you'd expect it to be at least a decent sized salad and have salad stuff in there but you just get a few pieces of chicken and a green goo with just a few and I mean this literally, a few pieces of arugula? I guess I should have read the fine print which didn't mention lettuce but how can you call something a salad that doesn't have any kind of green leaves? I have been coming here a few times a year for various events but the place just doesn't seem to have any sort of a niche...yeah they have beer but I could get that down the street at any pub. They don't even bother putting ice in their water coolers anymore either.

No venue embodies this more than 8th Wonder Brewery, which has become a must visit since there is so much more than meets the eye. There are numerous reasons I can get behind this wonder: :: Outdoor seating is one of the best I've seen in Houston. There are tables galore and an endless amount of space to run around in. It is so vast that even on their busiest days i've still managed to find some aspect of seating. :: It's enormous. There is so much room to run around and plenty of space to where it never feels crowded. Seating is abundant and the high ceilings :: Need somewhere to go where a bunch of folks can meet up immediately? No reservations required and bring the kids and pets (during the daytime), or show up with a bunch of folks and enjoy the outdoor tables. :: Like beer? Good. There's plenty of it here. The dome foam (throwback cream ale) and the cougar paw (red ale) are excellent. :: Happy Hour is between 4pm-7pm, which includes $8 THC cocktails and a variety of other spirits. $4 beer drafts, $5 THC drafts, and $6 well liquor. Their daily "Wonder Hour is from 8-9pm where it's 25% off all to-go purchases. :: No pretension here. No cover. Come in and go out. That's a beautiful thing considering how any venues here will check for IDs and promptly ask for money. :: On select nights, this the street side destination for Yoyo's Hot Dogs (#1), which moved here after their initial run in Rice Village. :: They serve Delta-8 / Delta-9 here. Nuff said. :: Service from the bartenders has always been no frills and friendly. All drinks are normally served with a smile and the pours can be nice and heavy. The only downside is the bathrooms and the parking. There isn't enough of the latter and there's not of the former. Still, I appreciate all the intangibles that 8th Wonder has to offer and look forward to coming here each time. ___________ (#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/yoyos-hot-dog-houston-14?

We ordered the Mango Passion Fruit Rum Punch, a Wonder Light Lager, a Haterade Watermelon Sour, and an El Pepino shot. Overall, the drinks were decent, and we appreciated the cocktails being made fresh instead of from a can. The El Pepino shot was our favorite of the all of the drinks. They don't offer beer flights, as that would have made it easier to sample more of their beers. There's a large indoor and outdoor space great for large groups, events, or simply hanging out. Service was great.

They prepared my food ahead of time. Pizzas, Brussels sprouts that we all fought over, hummus, nachos, and 3 sets of wings. When we arrived the tables had reserved signs with our group name. It was 3pm so we were all starving. We ordered drinks at the bar and some of my group members pointed out all the pride flags making them feel welcome and happy to patronize this place. People commented on the ginger beer and loved every single thing on our tables. Most awesome is that they didn't want a deposit two weeks before when I called even though I offered since they were making so much food for 20. I wanted them to know we were really going to show up. As a group of artists, we loved the artwork especially the mural with Houston letters. We took a group photo and some of us headed back on the road to SA completely satisfied. Others loved the vibe of the place and neighborhood and decided to stay longer and explore some more. Thank you Gristworkz!

But what really made the experience stand out was the hospitality.
