I had the Smokey Mezcal drink, can't remember the drink but it was amazing! We went on a Monday and it was very empty but expected.

Bartender said their speciality is Jack Daniel's and rock n roll! This bar gives dive rock bar vibes. The bartenders are friendly and the music selection takes you back to early 2000's.

It's a fun and funky bar right across from House of Blues, so perfect for an after concert drink. The decor makes me think of pirates with the lantern candles dangling from the ceiling and the skeletons around the room. My friend and I found a comfy booth to sit in, and she ordered our drinks at the bar. The drinks were good, and we had a good time.

Way darker in here than it appears in the picture

Dirt Bar is located right across the street from The House of Blues and seems to be the before and after event hangout. Recently, I've attended more and more shows at HOB and there is only a handful of places to pregame right next to the venue. This place is dark. Even in the daylight hours it's dark. To keep up with the dark theme, they have a giant skeleton as well as other spooky decorations. The music when I have been has always been some heavy metal played at the highest volume setting. Maybe I'm getting old, but I would like to see and hear when I hang out somewhere. Customer service was good. The bartenders are always pleasant. In my opinion, the drinks are ok but kind of high priced for what you get. Just within a stones throw from here, you have some pretty amazing cocktail bars that sells their drinks for similar prices. Dirt bar does have specials, so keep an eye out for those. I'm sure I'll be back at some point.

Full bar and they sell cigarettes. Bartenders are all nice! Opens until 2am. Great music!

Drinks were strong bartenders were on point and a dark metal vibe! A nice alternative to the rest of stuff downtown.

Not the Jack I saw in Lynchburg.

So I'm going to preface some reviews I'm about to write with the following: My brother & I were on a road trip from St. Petersburg, FL to Fort Worth, TX. These are the places we hit along the way. They are also in my Yelp! list here: https://www.yelp.com/list/fl-to-tx-road-trip-2018-houston (or in any of the reviews written for the trip). I can't decide if I should give this dive bar homage by rating it 5 stars, or honor it with a dive down rating of 1 star. On the one hand, it's a great dive bar. It's also right across the street from the House of Blues, so if you can't handle Dirt, you have another option, close at hand, for liquid libation. Dirt is dark. Not in the emotional sense, but the literal. It's an open, cavernous, space, with the bar in the middle of said space. Our bartender was friendly and efficient. So as I write these words I just remembered something, we were charged for ICE. So if you want your liquor on the rocks, be prepared for an up charge. So should I take away a star? Nah, just another aspect of the dive bar. Bottom line: At first I thought they only had one, gender neutral bathroom. The I learned the pipes had frozen and one restroom was closed. We were there during that freak winter storm that hit the south.

Just a dim lit bar. Nothing special. Two TVs for sports. Not much seating around circle bar (the only bar). So getting a drink takes a while. $7.25 for a single Tito's and sprite.

The chair I need in my house!

We were in town for National Athletic Trainer Convention. This was near the hotel within a short walk. Found a gem of a place here. Veronica and her teammates did a super awesome job! I never had to wait to place my order. My final tab was accurate. The prices were not outrageous. I always was served with a pleasant smile. Needless to say if I am in the are again I am definitely making a stop in The Dirt Bar. Drinks were super cold and Service was awesome. The staff should be commended! Cheers til next time. Respectfully, Bryan OKC
