Loaded tator tots

A small brewery catering to the neighborhood- such a win! Friendly bar tenders who will answer all your questions, especially as you build your own flight. Plus, great food, friendly vibe, board games for all to enjoy, outside patio and easy parking. Even for those who don't drink beer or cider, this is a great place to gather with friends, enjoy some food and grab a board game to just chill out.

My friends and I came here for Thursday night trivia. This was my first time here and I had a great time; the staff was kind, the food was really good and pretty reasonably priced and the trivia was really fun. We didn't even get top 5 but we had a great time as a group. The Hazy Gold cider was actually really good, for someone who is 2 steps below a fan of cider and beer. I'd definitely come back here for a chill time and we plan to come back to future trivia nights!

Drinks were very good, lots of options. The food was also good, service was a little slow but they were doing a media day. Atmosphere was cool, games to play, indoor and outdoor seating

Such a great spot to relax with friends or family over a fantastic beer or cider! They offer an extensive variety of ciders and are more than happy to help you find the perfect one to match your taste. The service was warm and welcoming it is definitely a place worth visiting!

Very cute brewery - variety options ranging from fruity ciders to beers. Very cute and small place with around ~40 seats combined for indoor and outdoor. Fun place to just hang out. Has different events on certain nights like Drag Shows, Trivia, Comedy Shows, Paint and Sips & more. A nice local place to check out.

Cherry cider

Great drinks! Attended the HTX dog expo and had a great time! Would definitely go here again.

Happened to come across City Orchard for a musical showcase. Was pleasantly surprised! Tasty ciders; I tried the Lavender Royale & Cherry Red, yummy good. The Mushroom Pizza was delicious but could have used some more Shrooms :). Cool decor, a giant wooden tree steals the show! Large outdoor area with a nice view of Downtown. Great customer service from staff and bathroom was super clean. Ample free parking. Definitely will be back for some brews and views.

Cheese pizza
Suzie E.

This place was awesome! The drinks were good and that's cheese pizza was the best! Services was good, it was the type where you order at the bar. Also we went on a Friday night and they had comedy show and it was good. Something to do on a Friday night! Plus they have happy hour all day! Truly enjoyed!

Love the vibes in this place and a big fan of most of their ciders. Their pizza is tasty. People are friendly and they host a lot of events but unfortunately the acoustics aren't great.

Olivia S.

Each cider I've tried here has been tasty and the staff is very helpful if you have questions about what to order. When the Houston weather is nice, their patio is a great place to be! Lots of seating both in and outside.

Kathy H.

Decent location but could be hard to find if you aren't looking for it. Drinks are great and bartender are knowledgeable of their drinks. Love getting g the flights to try different kinds of ciders. Great outside and inside seating areas.

My City Orchard glass for their 5th anniversary party!

This is my favorite place to go for a cider and pizza. The atmosphere is fantastic and the bartenders are always friendly. City Orchard NEVER disappoints. Also, they almost always have something going on. Love this place!

Can we bring board games to the open area?

Yes!

Is City Orchard dog friendly? and if so, both in and outside?

Yes! A lot people had dogs with them. Most everyone with dogs were outside though

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...

It's might be petty on my side but I'm taking off a star because of how terrible their heirloom…read moreTomato Salad. 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.

The nightlife haven that has been EaDo has always been impressive to me, namely because of the…read morevariety of places to crawl, hop, and indulge. 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!

(Not too pushy or annoyed) I ended up ordering some food and talking with some of the other bar guests as well as the owner who was very friendly and engaging.

The beer selection is solid with plenty of options whether you're in the mood for something crisp, hoppy, or a little adventurous. Food-wise, the wings and fries came out exactly how they should--hot, crispy, and perfect with a cold pint. Nothing fancy needed when the basics are done right. But what really made the experience stand out was the hospitality. Gabe behind the bar was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and the kind of bartender who makes you feel like you've been coming there for years. By the end of the night it honestly felt like we were regulars. Great beer, hot food, and top-tier service. That's a recipe for a place I'll definitely be back to.
