Down in Galveston to attend the first inaugural St. Paddy Day parade. (It was fantastic by the…read moreway) and got there a little early so started scouting out places we could hang whilst watching on the parade route. Found this little gem of a place that has a pretty cool vibe. Very tap house feel at the bar, but with some lounge-type seating as well as bar top ,larger party tables and the standard two and four person tables. Just a note, tea is free here so help yourself! There is construction next door which doesn't look like it is affecting this place at all. Prices are what you might expect of a craft place, perhaps a little on the higher side but with the caveat they are probably in the high rent district. We tried the shrimp basket and al though the service was fantastic and helpful and the place was nice, this particular meal did not stand out as one that would make me want to rush back. It was somewhat bland/underseasoned save for the large chunks of pepper. The cocktail sauce was certainly different which I do like, but it had a Smokey barbecue flavor to it that just didn't pair well for us. Fries were a tad bit soft for our liking as well and also slightly under-seasoned. They had live music there which adds to the charm of the place I think (it was solo guitarist/vocalist) and it did just seem to work on this night after a fun parade it was a great place to get a meal and lounge around with some music and drinks. Fixable food items so giving the place a decent rating but think there's room for improvement.

This bar\restaurant is located along the strand and used to be known as the Hub Cap Grill until it…read morerecently changed its name to this. Ironically, there's still a large display of hubcaps on the sidewall. It is also a brew pub, however, on our visit, they had none of their beers on tap. You can order your grub and beer at the bar where you'll find the only beer menu on the wall since there's not one printed yet. After paying with a credit card you'll face the tip screen, be handed a number and head back to your table. One point of interest is that they fry everything in beef tallow. I got the shrimp basket and my wife had the chicken fried fish and chips. For the money, it seemed the portion of fish was pretty small. Normally, one would expect a small helping of coleslaw like most restaurants, but here you just get fries. I appreciated the six fairly large shrimp, but when I peeled away some of the thick batter, I realized they were not deveined which is why you see three stars, not four. I could taste the grittyness which led me to peal away the batter to check. If I were to come here again, I'd probably stick to the burger menu since those looked good as they were coming out. 10 photos included. 31/2*

(Great place, the owners are fantastic, and if you have not been by there, why not? ) Back to the brewery. I was pleasantly surprised by this visit. Perhaps it was because it was after dark, the place was nicely lit, and we sat at the bar. The first time in was in the cold light of day, the place felt like a high school cafeteria and we all turned around and bounced right on out of there. Night time, the cosy lighting, and sitting at the bar with the restaurant (cafeteria feel) behind you is so much better. I found their service lacking for the lack of patrons in the place. Our glasses were empty for far longer than they should have been and we had to wait on our check to leave. The servers did appear to have great conversations with each other at the other end of the bar. Perhaps being more mindful of their customers would be more appropriate. The pluses are the Blueberry Blonde was as good as I remembered and we were introduced to Celtic Cross mead which led to a visit to their meadery. Would I come back? Yes. Whenever I feel called upon to partake of a Blueberry Blonde and when it is evening to avoid that high school cafeteria feel of the place.

It's an easy place for all kinds of gatherings, especially ones with big groups and a thirsty penchant for beer. In a place like Webster where chains rule and suburban life is abundant, Saloon Door stands out as an excellent local option. It may not look like much from the outside and even the interior is minimal, but that somehow doesn't matter when groups of people are enjoying their brews together. They host all sorts of events and also allow for private use of dare venue space. Any first timer should absolutely indulge in a beer flight with some kind. The brewmasters are kind enough to let folks sample to their heart's content. Not everybody is beer savvy (#1) but they do a good job of recommending the right ones for any given palate. I appreciate their selection of stouts, ales, light brews, and IPAs. I have a fondness for their peanut butter milk stout, as well as dar dildo pickle gose. The tasty AF is also a good one, as is the lava imperial hot rock beer. The ladder has an ABV of 11%, so it is the most potent one in their lineup that I know of. Most breweries like this aren't always known for food, but there are some nice deals to be had here. Their taco Tuesday nights are popular since board games and happy hour beers are apparently a thing. The Friday deal for $15 inlcudes a burger, fries, and a beer would is very affordable in these times. Thursday nights they activate their projection screen and do a " a retro video game" night with plenty of multiplayer and beer specials. I always look forward to coming here. There is no pretense, plenty of good service, and even more good beer. __________ (#1) ::::coughs:::: me.

When it comes to local breweries, Saloon Door is one of my favorites in the greater Houston area…read more This is their first out of two locations and it has been around for awhile. It was one of the first on this side of town before everyone and their mom started opening up breweries. The difference is, it has stood the test of time and is still going strong. This location is located in an industrial park close to I-45. There is plenty of parking. It anchors that particular section and is quite large inside. There is plenty of seating and they also have space available for private events. The staff here know their product and offer great advise on what to pick if you are indecisive like me. They have quite a respectable assortment of beers to choose from. They have light beers, malty beers, stouts, IPAs, and seasonal beers. I would suggest a flight if you want to try a few different things. I am not a big IPA guy, but Saloon Door has some that are pretty tasty. My favorites here at their stouts. They are heavy, but easy to sip on. Their stouts have flavor profiles that I love. My all time favorite Saloon Door beer is the Tasty AF. It is a peanut butter and chocolate milk stout. How can you go wrong with that flavor combination. It's like drinking a dessert. Some breweries name their beers with flavors but don't deliver on said flavor. Here, their beers are true to their names. Don't sleep on their other offering though! As far as food, they have rotating food trucks that you can order from. This location was my introduction to Saloon Door, but they did open their second location closer to my home. I would still without a doubt come back to this location if in the area though!

Brewery #397 Under…read morethe Radar is a very small neighborhood style brewery. Lots of people just cycling and walking up to get a pint. I got my usual flight and for a small brewery, they had a solid sized selection of 14 different styles. I got a Hazy IPA, a Kolsch, a stout and a rice lager. The Hazy Town was my favorite, but I really liked the Koln Kolsch too. They also had a refrigerator for soft drinks and a few different nonalcoholic which was great for my buddy who no longer drinks. Most of the seating is outside but most of the seats are in the shade. The beertender (is that a word...it should be) was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely be a regular if I lived nearby.
