Came here on a Sunday night with a date as our last option, as we struggled with restaurants nearby that closed early. We sat outside to enjoy the weather. We ordered margaritas, chicken taco salad and sprouts taco dinner. The food is so tasty and we really liked it. The drinks were awesome too! Super near my place so I would definitely come back! Very casual atmosphere and friendly staff! read more

Eight Row Flint - Gastropubs Near Me - Houston, Texas

Friends have always talked about their Wednesday all day happy hour, but once you experience it... once the server hands over your tab and you're baffled by the cheap tab... Did they miss a few drinks? Did they mess up? No - it's all day happy hour! I don't think I have ever paid only $6 for an old fashioned. Eight Row Flint, you bring me joy. Other all day Wednesday happy hour specials: $3 select beers (and their good ones!) $6 cocktails: Frozen Margs, Eight Row Rocks Marg, Eight Row Mule, Old Fashioned $7 Pinot Noir or Chenin Blanc Regular happy hour runs Mon-Fri 2-6pm and includes $3 tacos. Do try the brussels sprouts taco. read more

It was a really late night, but the service was amazing nonetheless and the brussels sprouts were very good. I will go back.

This is a great place to grab drinks with friends. They have delicious cocktails and amazing tacos. The Baja Shrimp Taco was so amazing. The put some kind of sauce on it that activates the shrimp flavor even more. Definitely check this place out! Also note that you can only park in their lot. If their lot is full try to find street parking. Whatever you do! Do not park in the dish society lot. They will tow you! read more

I really enjoyed my time at this establishment! Me and my friends got indoor steering. I love the variety they had on their drink menu. I would highly recommend their margarita flight. It's $16 and worth every penny. They all come frozen so if you like yours on the rocks, speak up. I would also recommend their fajitas and their spicy shrimp tostada. Wow. Both shrimp and beef are marinated well and dazzled with lime juice and traditional Mexican spices. read more

Eight Row Flint - Margarita Flight - Gastropubs Near Me - Houston, Texas

Eight Row Flint is a very popular spot. Great outdoor patio with solid drink options - tons of whiskey so naturally they have a good old fashioned, and they have other drinks like margaritas and ranch waters. They also have food available -- tasty chips and guacamole or queso, and tacos! I usually get the Brussel Sprouts taco and one other like the pork or chicken. Both the drinks and food are consistently good. The only reason I'd give them 4 stars instead of 5 is due to price point... if you don't make it in time for happy hour prepare to spend big. read more

We'd been wanting to try this spot for a while, it always looks busy outside at night. We were finally able to make it in before the night rush and weren't disappointed! AMBIANCE Very casual, indoor/outdoor space. They have lots of outdoor seating and some space inside as well. Looks like in warmer months there's a large garage door that opens up and converts the whole space into more of an outdoor vibe. SERVICE I feel like it's always a gamble when you sit outside...service can really suck. But not today, and not here! Our server was super attentive, funny, and even brought me a sample of a second cocktail when I didn't like my first choice! FOOD Not gonna lie - minus points for not having complimentary chips & salsa. BUT, the chips and salsa they DO have was pretty solid. Freshly made chips, warm fresh salsa with the right amount of heat. Even though it was an entirely separate menu item, our server brought us a small side of guac as well. My partner and I also split an order of the chicken fajitas - really tasty! My fiancee likes the butter garlic more than I do (I felt it could have been a bit less), but we both finished the chicken in it's entirety. The black beans and rice they came with were also pretty tasty. The corn tortillas are really thick but good, while the flour tortillas were nothing special (really just tasted like store-bought). DRINKS My partner had a gin cocktail (Blood Orange Sex Magik) and loved it. He followed up by getting the watermelon agua fresca and adding gin to that - he felt the agua fresca was great, just the right amount of tajin, but maybe was too full at that point? I tried the Green Chile Ranchwater (wanted something spicy) but didn't care for the sotol in it. Like I said, our server brought me a sample of the OG Ranchwater, and I liked that a lot more. We'd definitely return, especially when looking for laid back, casual patio spots with lots of great drink options! read more

Fair warning. I like bourbon. If you are looking for something rare, have the money to spend per shot, and have no problem going to the Heights, this is your place. Especially when they have $4 beer and a shot. The wife and I stopped in after eating at Indianola and hearing about ERF from one of the managers I immediately announced I wanted to go here. The whiskey/bourbon menu reads like a bible of such items. Again, if you want it...they probably have it. We also tried the fares. The beef, pork and, skrimp tacos were pretty delicious. All on corn tortillas to accommodate the wife's anti-glutenism. Still they were damn good. The hush puppies. Yes. Get these. Get extra sauce on the side. Use the sauce on the tacos. Profit. The wings. We were told these were good...but they were WAY overcooked and chewy. The flavor was there. I just couldn't be bothered to masticate (quit giggling and google it) any more on these. Now. I did see some reviews where people were pi$$ing and moaning about their bill. You looked at the menu. You ordered multiple $5-$6 dollar tacos for your group. You know that some foods are $8-$12 dollars. You ordered an $11+ cocktail. By yourself, if you order 2 tacos and a drink, with tip you are looking at $30+ FOR JUST YOURSELF. So don't complain. You made the conscious decision to exchange the currency for the fares. Knocking the place for your indiscretion is idiotic. I sipped on my beer, shot my Wild Turkey (OMG it was $4. Quit judging) and ate to my heart's content. Definitely will be back. ROCK solid 4 stars. read more

Eight Row Flint - $4 beer and a shot. - Gastropubs Near Me - Houston, Texas

Eight Row Flint is neat place to have lunch and drinks. There's a great sized outdoor patio and lots of space inside too. The food is made on a food truck in the back. The chicken quesadilla was a good size with sides of sour cream and pico. As well as the curly fries were crisp and tasty. The only reason for the reduction of star is due to the lack of privacy in the bathroom. If they would make the glass door more private, that would be awesome. It was a tad awkward to see directly into the bathroom and stalls from the bar and dining area. Other than the glass door, the bathroom was clean, spacious and the retro antique sinks just added to the ascetic of the place. read more

After five years away, I came back to Houston for a few days and made a special trip for Brussels sprout tacos and frozen grapefruit gin and tonics. They're still everything awesome I remembered! And I'm still obsessed. Thank you for everything. I miss ERF! read more

A friend recommended this place in the heights. Came by on a Sunday afternoon, there was plenty of parking spots around the restaurant. Ordered the sonora hot dog, chips and queso, brussel sprouts taco, and beef barbacoa taco. Loved the poppy seed bun for the hot dog, it was soft and flavorful. The queso had a kick of spice, was a good consistency too. The tacos were a bit on the pricier end for one taco, but had a lot of filling. 4 stars because the waiter was a bit rude and not friendly. read more

The food is pretty good here! I got one of the vegetarian tacos and it was a d delicious and well crafted option. The coffee brunch alcohol drink is also so delicious I crave it all the time! read more

Eight row flint is the perfect place to hang out. They have some happy hours throughout the week and they have $5 games you can play to get a random drink. They are super pet friendly and have plenty of outdoor seating. Our experience overall was just okay. They are incredibly pricey for the small amount of food/drinks you get. Their tacos are small street tacos and are roughly $7.50 a piece. They have great flavors but again, it's a street taco. I had their Paloma, very sweet, full of ice and light on the alcohol. Again, another disappointment. We sat inside with one other table that was occupied (out of the 11 tables inside). Our hostess hardly visited us. At one point we were going to order another drink but she took so long that we decided to close out our tab once we got her attention. read more

Have always enjoyed coming here for a tasty cocktail and delicious food. As a member of the service industry I think it's important to let your patrons know when you automatically add gratuity to their bill. Especially when using a handheld Toast device where all you see are the recommended tip percentages. This has happened to me the last two times I've visited and only when I checked my bank statement did I notice how drastic the changes were in my total that I saw at the bar. Since when do bars have 20% auto grat? I can understand a walked tab, but that was not my case. Will be hesitant to go back read more

Food was subpar. Chips were thick and stale. Service wasn't friendly. The vibe seemed great but didn't hold up read more

I've been dying to try out some Houston happy hour spots and Eight Row Flint was the perfect one to break me in. We came around 5 pm on a Friday and the place was pretty busy but not overly packed. I ordered the "Mystery Machine" with a shot of rum. It was soo good. serrano, Thai basil, pineapple, and lime juice. the perfect drink to wind down the day. They have a great amount of whiskey and other alcohol to enjoy. the service was awesome and the prices were on par with most other happy hours. We will definitely return. read more

Eight Row Flint - "Mystery Machine" ask for it with rum or your choice of alcohol. - Gastropubs Near Me - Houston, Texas

The service here is great. Our server was extremely attentive, always checking in on us and really nice and! She recommended drink alternatives when things were unavailable. The patio and overall ambiance is really chill with a few TVs, a great place for a casual get together. Where this place loses stars is the food. I would honestly give 0 stars for the food alone. The tacos are worse than highway robbery. One unseasoned chicken taco cost $7.50!!!! I was shook. I thought it was $7.50 for two tacos. I wanted to die. This was an embarrassment to literally anyone else that makes tacos. read more

Went to watch the Astros vs the Nationals in 2nd game with some friends on a Wednesday Specials: On weds they have awesome drink specials! All day you can do half a shot for 3 dollars and for a dollar more you can do add a lone star and for 2 more a white claw, 6 dollar cocktails and margaritas and 3 dollar select beers. Until 6 pm you can do 3 dollar tacos. Parking: they do have valet but other than that good luck parking LOL I would uber Atmosphere: it was very vibrant and good vibes. It's pet friendly and it has a decent size outside patio. The Tables don't move so consider that when brining large groups as most tables only fit certain number of ppl. They did bring out extra chairs. Food: The shrimp tacos were amazing! Everything else was very mediocre. We tried most of the tacos since they were 3 dollars and note that it's only for ONE taco. I would never pay 7 dollars for a single taco ever but that's just me and even then 3 dollars wasn't worth the tacos. Shrimp one, maybe. The others were not worth it bc they're not filling so might as well order something bigger like a quesadilla or the burger. Drinks: excellent drinks! Excellent drink specials Service: I had great and quick service. Overall: it was a good experience. Definitely above average and I look forward to coming back for their other specials. read more

Surprisingly good cheeseburgers. Didn't make up for the 'not sure if we care that you're here' attitude. Only customers there for lunch, I understand why. Makes for a pretty good day time drinking bar, given my investor buddy doesn't hold back! read more

cool place for drinks in the heights. they have a wheel that you can spin to get different shots for.

I told the hubby Whiskey and Tacos and he was all over it! We like this place a lot. It's super casual with ample seating outside and dog friendly as well. Parking is not the best, but they do offer complimentary valet parking. They offer a really good Happy Hour every weekday from 2pm-6pm and all day Wednesdays, where you can grab bargain cocktails and $3 tacos. But even if HH isn't going on, I like the fact that the menu prices are still pretty reasonable. We ordered a sample of menu items and we enjoyed everything! Here is what we ordered: Street Corn Hushpuppies, Wings, Shrimp Taco, Beef Taco, Pork Taco. Overall, I am a fan and would return. It's nice to have a casual spot where you can chill with friends or the dog, that offers really good cocktails and good, reasonably priced food.

Let me just say...Brussels sprouts tacos! Even the inner carnivore AND hubby approve. It's like you don't even miss the meat!! (I don't get it either, but it works!) these tacos are fried crispy Brussels, with cotija cheese, some shredded veggies that look fancy and come nice and wrapped so they are easy to eat. Add some salt and a squeeze of lime and you are set!! Eight Row Flint is also famous with the moms on my sons soccer team for the ranch waters - go get one! They level up from the traditional tequila, topo and lime...IYKYK. (But they are for after soccer obvs) And finally, they do this really cool midday happy hour, where for like $15 you can get 2 food items and a drink. I usually go for a couple of the aforementioned tacos and a whiskey drink (look tacos and whiskey DO pair well, stand down!) however one time I got the watermelon salad which was super refreshing - watermelon with some spicy seasoning and something crunchy. Their patio is kid and dog-friendly, and the vibes are great! read more

If you ever wanted to know how it was to visit a dive ice house in Kandahar's war zone, then this is your place, with peeling paint and cement floors. The place is grubby. Chairs are metal and uncomfortable and the food that is cooked out back in a "I don't know what I'm eating " (kinda tool shed.") If you're going to eat here, arrive wasted as the food is dry, overly salted/spiced; it will help to kill the overcooked horror of the meal out of memory. Drinks are expensive at around $ 12-15 dollars a drink." The fruit no alcohol concoctions are good. Outside there are typical beer garden benches. Lunch runs around $47, and only if you don't drink alcohol, otherwise it will be much more. One thing we enjoyed was the watermelon cubes with bottled chili powder over it. It was a halfway decent food. Well if you are part of the unwashed youth group, you may like this place. Not a place if you want to bring a date. There are lots of non-traditional men. Those who don't like war zone crumbly buildings and grubbiness, should be patrons of some other place. read more

I've been here a few times and enjoyed each time I went! I've gone with both large and small groups and this bar accommodates both well. You can bring your pup to the patio too. Eight Row Flint is a lot of fun with their spin the wheel and ring toss features. You pay $5 to spin the wheel and get whatever the pin lands on. Or you could pay $5 to do a ring toss and whichever bottle the ring lands on, you get a pour of. It's pretty difficult to do the ring toss successfully. But if you lose you get a small glass of Lone Star. One other deal they have is their Cheap Thrills, where you can pay $3-4 for a shot (choose between like two) and a beer/hard seltzer. Pretty great deal that lasts all day, everyday. As for snacks, their wings are great comfort food. Parking situation: on-site read more

The whiskey and Bourbon selection is really great, but the food is obviously from the freezer. Skip the food and eat something before you come and have a great time in this chill bar. read more

I came here for all-day happy hour on a Wednesday. Excited to go, because I've had a great experience at carousel and indianola. Unfortunately, eight row Flint let me down. From their appealing prices and atmosphere, the tacos were soggy as ever and reminded me of Chinese take out. I ordered the following: Chicken nachos Eight row Flint margaritas Shrimp tacos Beef cheek tacos The chicken nachos were good to say the least. With black beans, actual nacho cheese, guac, and sour cream. The chicken was a bit dry. Everything else was good. This was the best out of all. But who can really mess up nachos? The eight row Flint marg was also nice. With that hint of eggwhite, I can say that it was a nice twist and these were tasty! Nice and strong too! Now the tacos. Shrimp tasted like orange chicken from Panda Express. For me, they were edible and flavorful but not my cup of tea to put in a taco. It's different but not bad. The beef cheek was a major disappointment. I've had the beef cheek taco at poitin for their happy hour and that was the best thing I put in my mouth. I could be comparing hard core but this particular one was greasy, too hard to eat in one piece, every bite leaves you in a hand of oils and the tortilla falling apart. The beef cheek was nothing but fat. 80% fat. That gelatin in my mouth was purely disgusting. Other than that, there is complimentary valet, service is okay and prices are great for okay food. Drinks were good and the ambiance was very lively. 3 stars. read more

Let's dive right in.... Setting / ambiance - 4 stars The place has a great setup with a a decent size bar area and a large patio. We came here at happy hour and the place was busy, but not overly crowded. We easily found seating in the bar area. Food - 3 stars (feedback from friends) This place overs bites via a food truck in the back. Personally I did t order anything, but everyone around us did and they seemed content with the dishes ordered. Based on their feedback it seemed they didn't impress however met expectations. Drinks - 3 stars The cocktails are subpar here. Don't come here for cocktails. Come here for tasting whiskey or just ordering beer. We all had various cocktails and they were all mediocre at best. I had the old fashioned and honestly it was probably the worst one I've had in awhile. How hard is whiskey, bitters, and sugar? Especially if you're using say a turbinado sugar? Terrible. That said, their whiskey selection is absolutely fantastic. If you have seen it, there is a decent chance they have it if it's a higher end whiskey. I've had most the choices they offer, but being a bit of a whiskey snob for the past 15 years myself I was not disappointed. If it wasn't for the whiskey options this place would be a one star for drink choice. Pricing - 3 stars Happy hour pricing was fair. The selection is very limited with no whiskey selection on happy hour which is disappointing. The selection is fantastic, but happy hour is really just beer and a few cocktails. The whiskey is a overpriced for the amount. Overall left thinking, meh. I wouldn't race back. Service - 5 stars The service was great. We were never short of wanting anything. The bartenders take care of their patrons well and are on top of it. Definitely no shortage of service! Overall - 4 stars I'm probably being a bit lenient here. It's more like a 3.5, but given their solid whiskey choice and the setting I'd give a slight nudge up. Don't come here for happy hour, but if you like exploring whiskey come here knowing this pricing will be a bit on the high side. read more

To be fair, I can't speak to the drinks, which is more what Eight Row Flint is known for. After the taco truck Tacos El Palmar left the neighborhood, I've been looking for another spot in the heights to satiate my late night taco cravings! Eight Row Flint is NOT where I'll ever go for that. The shrimp taco was very meh, and one of my shrimps still had a very full GI tract intact (ick!), and the barbacoa tacos was just OK. There was way too high of a pickled vegetable-to-protein ratio in both for my taste, and frankly too expensive for there to be so little protein as well. It's a pass for me (on the tacos!) 3 stars because presumably the drinks could be amazing, and the vibe was decent. read more

I met some friends for happy hour at Eight Row Flint a couple of weekends ago. It's part of the Agricole Hospitality Group, and they have more hits than misses, so I was looking forward to checking it out! As soon as I pulled up and realized that they only have valet for the parking lot right next to the restaurant, I was annoyed. Who likes valeting their car?! Not this girl. What I did like though was that they had happy hour specials. I went with the $6 Old Fashioned. It was pretty good, but it came with cherries, which I just could not get over. I tried the chips and queso, which really hit the spot. I had an okay time at Eight Row Flint, but the service was pretty terrible the whole time we were there. And, the patio is not smoke - free, so it was not a very pleasant experience. Maybe this visit was just a miss, but I don't think I'd go back. read more

This is definitely a nice place in a very trendy location. They have a massive amount of spirits and options to drink. I think the trick here is knowing what you can get without spending 15 to 20 dollars a drink that's mostly just all ice. I hate the fact I have to ask how much a drink costs but if you look at the menu and see that some of the drinks cost close to 20 bucks, you're kind of forced to have to do it. Bottom line I think there's cheaper alternatives and better areas of town where you can spend that kind of money. The food they serve is very good. But again you're looking at a pretty high price tag on everything. read more
