    Omar poutine g me a Marble Turkish Coffee Stout!

    Great selection of beers! And the friendliest bartenders ever! I thoroughly recommend you stop here if you want a draft beer in Downtown El Paso!

    Craft & Social is the missing element El Paso had been craving. A place to actually mingle and hold real conversations that consists of more than just, "Do you come here often?" and "I like your shoes." This modest watering-hole is one of the few places in EP you can enjoy a craft beer and the only place you can grab a craft beer while meeting new people and watching classic cartoons (think original Tom & Jerry). My favorite beer I've had here (so far) is the Früli Strawberry Beer. That ish is ridiculously good! All metaphors and comparisons that I normally would insert to show how amazing the aforementioned drink is are unnecessary. Just order it, it's the best! C&S does get packed on the weekends, but there's bench seating, bar seating, and a couple of vintage chairs. And if you need a breather you can always hang out in front. Great alternative to the downtown strobe light establishments. I recommend C&S for any time of the day...day time drinks with friends, nightly outings, really...whenever.

    This was a new spot for us and we are so happy we found it! From the moment we walked in we were greeted by the friendliest guy ever! Let me tell you, this guy ran the whole place. Bar, kitchen, host, etc. Super impressed with his knowledge and the hummus he made was AMAZING! Thank you for giving us a place to look forward to!!

    Stopped in here tonight! First time in El Paso and absolutely exhausted from driving from Los Angeles. The staff could not have been more friendly and the food was incredible! My father got the "Drunken Cow" and I got the "E-talian" both sandwiches were fresh and tasted great! We also got the cucumber chips which I'm definitely gonna go home and try to make! So unique and delicious. Highly recommend! If we ever pass back through here, we'll definitely stop by again!

    Stumbled into Craft and Social and I couldn't been more pleasantly surprised. Excellent selection of micro-brews in a cozy place, just right for winding down or hanging out. Obviously a local favorite and now a favorite of mine, as well. Definitely recommend dropping into this pub anytime you get into El Paso ..... I know I'll be back! Cheers..

    Why this place isn't wall to wall with people on an early Saturday evening is mystifying to me. Apparently it is quite often, so why not tonight was a mystery to this visitor to town. First rate rack of fine microbrew beers to choose from and one of the most knowledgable bartenders (he said he was the GM) I've run into in a long time. Food was first-rate, the beers exceptional, the service was top-notch, great vibe, friendly people at the bar. Gosh, can I take you back home with me when I fly out today? Craft and Social, if I'm ever back in El Paso I'll make a bee-line here. If they allowed 6 stars I'd give them.

Everything is set for a serene and enjoyable experience. The staff were very friendly and personable, and very eager to make your time memorable. We started out by wandering around the facility. They have all kinds of little small rooms that open up into the big area. Each place has a different interesting decor and a different seating arrangement, Some just couches and chairs. Other areas are small tables and then some have larger tables. All are around the perimeter of the larger center area. On our tour around, we came upon a small gift shop with all kinds of cute local wares that you can buy. And in the corner is the bar. It has a tasting station and they allowed us to taste several different wines to determine which one we wanted. We ordered a glass and continued browsing around the area. Once we found where we wanted to sit, they brought us menus, and we chose two different sandwiches, one is the turkey avocado, and the other was vegetable ciabatta both with side salad, rather than potato chips. We also got a starter of a Caprese salad. Other than our meals coming out at different times, which was awkward, the food was very very good. We enjoyed our meal and our wine and we both bought a bottle to go! Around the area, they have card games, board games, and other things that you could amuse yourself with. There was an area with a variety of cigars. But no one was manning it at the time. It appeared that they may have music outside, and there are some tables outdoors where I can imagine on an evening could be a great place to sit. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there, relaxing, sipping wine, and enjoying lunch/snacks. I definitely recommend this place! You might choose to make a reservation if you're going at prime time after five.

Adjacent to the The Tiki Room, Pearl Divers features a rotating list of oysters from different regions at $3 a pop. We had the chance to try all three oysters that they were featuring for the day and we really enjoyed the palette. The oysters featured might've been limited but they had a major punch to them with flavor. My favorite were the ones that were a bit more briny, truly small but mighty. Your oysters are brought out with the traditional crackers, hot sauce, mignonette sauce, horseradish, and lemons. It was nice for them to all folks the chance to order in any quantity as I'm sure a few folks might be trying oysters for the very first time in a landlocked city. The had a finessed menu featuring carpaccio, tartare, and about ten to fifteen dishes encompassing appetizers to main entrees. We had ordered the carpaccio but it never came out (no biggie, again it was soft opening so we came in with an open mind). Since we got there a bit later in the day, they were out of frites and I am a loyal fan of oysters, frites, and bubbles (wine at the minimum). This just means we'll have to be back. What was most important to me though was the service and how friendly the staff was. We opted to sit at the bar (as one should at an Oyster bar) and be as close to the oyster display as possible. I used to live in New Orleans for a few years so sometimes when it's busier and you're chatting away they'll shuck an extra one to you every so often to try. I'm pretty stoked to see the dining scene continuously elevating and Pearl Divers is a nice rendition. I'll be certain to come back and can't wait to see what a five-star experience is out of their soft opening phase. *** If there is one piece of feedback I'd provide is to have smaller spoons for the mignonette and forks for the oysters. The current sizes are a bit too large and can easily ruin the integrity of the oyster when making sure it's been properly separated and not intact, as well as, not being able to have the right ratio of mignonette sauce for each oyster. The spoon was constantly hitting the mouth of the condiment cup.
