    Salad with chicken wing sprinkles.

    Local dive bar off of S. Mason in Katy. Thursday is steak night, $12 will get you a ribeye, loaded baked potato and salad. It's a pretty good deal. On the weekends they have a crawfish boil, you can purchase it by the pound or get all you can eat for around $25. This past weekend was Dukes Memorial crawfish boil with live music. Crazy packed but we still had a great time. Sundays they have bloody mary, draft beer and bucket specials. They also have a shuffle board tournament most Sundays. The bar is smoke free and has been recently remodeled. The staff is friendly and the drinks are reasonable. Great place to go and have a drink.

    Pretty bartender making drinks.

    Dukes is an icon on Mason road...correction...in Katy, Texas. What I love about Dukes is that it was always kinda "honky tonk" which later became "Dive Bar." This is the joint your folks may have gone to on a Saturday night while you were home with a babysitter. Ahh...but things have changed. In recent months Dukes has had a make over Mr Taffer would be proud of. Frankly it was time. It's time for the next generation to appreciate this iconic bar. Everything has been updated from a new entrance to staff wearing Dukes tees. As mentioned this may have been your folks bar back in the day but it's your bar now. They cater to Sunday football, local sports, great crawfish (children welcome) and are now NO SMOKING! This is huge for not on Dukes but for Mason Rd and the growing nonsmoking crowd. Looking for a weekend night out? Give the New Duke a try! You will be glad you did.

    This game is addicting!

    Their happy hour is literally amazing. Bartenders are always friendly and outgoing, I usually seat outside in the patio since it's less crowded, so I have to make sure I order from the bar then it goes smoothly. Bars usually give me anxiety but being here doesn't give me bad vibes at all even with the darkness of this place manages to be able to have great energy. I can say this is my fav bar around the Katy area Edit: I forgot my card at home to pay for the tab and they accept Apple Pay. This is the best

    The bartender asked me what did I want to drink then I said Crown Royal and she asked me, What's that?

    It's Friday night and where is everyone? Hmmmm. Maybe hangout in another tavern. The oddest thing just happened, I ask the bartender do you have Crown Royal? Her response was, "what's that?" Hmmmm, no wonder it wasn't crowded here on a Friday night. Go figure...

    Good friendly bar - shabby exterior belies the standard interior - give it a try- you'll enjoy.

    No frills service with awesome large Karaoke rooms and reasonable prices. I haven't tried the food…read morebut it looks good.

    It was my friends and I first time here and we were blown away by the interior - well-lit with neon…read moresigns, super spacious, fun decor, very bright and open - reminding me of Itaewon. Every single dish was spot-on and the portions were quite generous. If I had to pick, the Japchae, Jajang Myeon, and Spicy Seafood Jjampong Soup were especially memorable. A thick noodle is used for the Japchae which held on to the flavor really well and provided more of a bite. The Jajang Myeon and Soup were absolutely bursting with flavor - bold, rich, and truly satisfying. They perfectly captured the essence of what these dishes should taste like: delivering a home-cooked taste at restaurant quality. As typical of Korean restaurant, every meal comes with an assortment of banchan. The kimchi was perfection and it seems like there are unlimited refills for the banchan. Let's not forget that this is a Pocha! There are lots of drink options and they are open late. This also makes for a great place for large groups and seating ranges from open tables or private booths for those looking for something more private. There is an open stage where I suppose open-mic karaoke used to take place, but as of 01/2025 management has put up signs stating it's currently not in use due to noise complaints from the neighbors. Still, there are plenty of private karaoke rooms to be put to use. This place is a hidden gem - it seems like a well-kept secret tucked away in this little neighborhood. I really hope the place gets more traffic in the future. They really deserve it! Overall really great place to come chill at with friends they've got the food, drinks, and karaoke covered.

We had about 15 people and they crammed us into a small area with 2 tables which was kind of intimate but probably PSA they dont give you side dishes which is what traditional pochas do. It was a little disappointing as most Korean places in the US give it even if it's not traditional in Korea.

    Really nice, laid back pocha with great vibes and staff…read more All of the tables are separated by tent-like tarps, so when you sit inside it feels cozy & private, almost like you're in a pojangmacha in Seoul. I did appreciate the intimacy and it made it easier to hear everyone in my party. Loved the drinks- highly recommend their green apple makgeolli in particular. When our server found out it was my birthday, she brought us another bottle of makgeolli, completely complimentary. It was so sweet of her to do so, and totally unexpected. Of the food, I especially loved their potato jeon (glutinous and chewy), seafood jeon (super flavorful), and ppurings korean fried chicken (pretty much perfect kfc). I was super excited to try their cheese snowing chicken since it's my favorite korean fried chicken flavor, but it didn't have enough cheesiness or seasoning in my memory. Will definitely be back for more late night snacks in the future! :) - Ambiance: 5/5 - Food: 4/5 - Service: 5/5
