If you live in Katy, you probably have been here at least once. This is 'the' bar in K-town. That being said....you're still in Katy, which means if you're bored, which is more than likely the case, and you're too lazy venture downtown, you can make that quick journey to good old Einsteins. If you graduated from high school in Katy the past 20 something years you will probably run into the guy that kicked your ass freshman year for looking at his lady wrong. The place has a cloud of smoke that hangs over it and when you leave the smell will follow you. Besides that, the place has got a good selection of beers, the drinks are inexpensive, and they have a pool table and darts where you and your buds can drink pitchers and talk about high school. They get extra bonus points for having buck hunter! I can seriously drink all night by myself with that game in hand. Overall, definitely worth visiting to get the full Katy experience. read more

Dennis is the best bouncer that ever was!!!! He is super friendly and a great face for your establishment!

Still love Einsteins. They allow smoking- so don't go here if you don't want to be around it. They have great bands, karaoke, good drinks, awesome bar food and arcade games. Awesome bar backs and super nice waitresses. They also have supplies in the bathrooms for the ladies and gents in case of emergency which is soooo wonderful. A++ read more

This bar had generally an older crowd. 30 to 40. Drinks were good, food was good, for barfood, and the band was awesome. I got there early on a Friday, then when 10 o'clock came around the place was packed. Still had good coverage with waitresses. I will definitely go back read more

See all

For a Tuesday night you can bring company and yourself and not be bothered by any ignorant people's. It's a very adult atmosphere. It's a great atmosphere to relax. read more

Worst bar in Katy. Drywall screws mixed within my french fries. So ypu may want to rethink ordering from this kitchen. Service is slow, so one must walk to the bar and serve ones own self. 1 star because the reveiw wouldn't accept no stars. This is a NO STAR BAR read more

Go here if you're looking for a smoke bar and drinks. We went in, ate and came out smelling like an ashtray, but the service was good and the venue was spacey. We had wings - hot, fresh and good price read more

This is a nice little mellow bar. The atmosphere is good and the patrons seem nice. Be sure to tip Jeanette well because she is an AWESOME bartender! read more

I can't help to end here. Einsteins is petty awesome so long as you know what's up. Not your normal place but you easily make it that way.

We like this place. It's really big. A great place for happy hour with a group- A good place to hang out for awhile, without paying a ton of money for drinks. Bartenders were nice, service was fast. read more

Ok so Friday night turned out way better than it started. After about my third shot I decided I had enough guts to try out this nifty little machine that allows you to punch the $hiznit out of it then it tells you your score! I need one of these at home! Being the aggressive person that I am, I wasn't satisfied with my first score so went back and the nice gentlemen from the hills have eyes movie (LOL) allowed me to go again, and again....and again until my score was up there with theirs. That's right 687!!!!! The lovely waitress was also patient enough with Ashlee and I to decide which vodka press we would like most, and we changed our minds about 3 or 4 times. She was very patient. The smoking inside is the only reason I took off one star, I just wish everyone would go no smoking inside and have a patio outside for the smokers, I smelt like I rolled around in an ashtray when I got home. I did however love the DJ's choice of music, very 90's and a variety of Genre's. He didn't play the song we requested but atleast he let us think he was going to! I didn't try any of the food but it smelled good going by me. I will be returning soon to try and beat my last score. I've been doing push up's LOL! Alcohol, food, great music and a punching bag to boost my ego, psssh I am so there.

So in the last year Einstein's has been caught with an extremely elevated amount of bacteria in its draft lines and now caught using cheap liquor when people pay for top shelf... I'd seriously second guess being a patron of this establishment. They obviously don't care about the customer. read more

I was living in the Katy area for a few years. In all that time I had been to Einsteins once. Not a bad place, but definitely could find somewhere a little more entertaining to spend my time. That being said, I probably would have given it 2 stars until Saturday night. I went for a friends show and the door guy on a power trip would not let me in because my driver's license had expired last month. Really? The FAA will except my expired drivers license as long as it hasn't been a year, but your crappy bar on Mason won't? I am good friends with all the guys in the band, and they came over to tell him I was fine. I even offered to not drink, I just wanted to see the damn show! Nope he wasn't "loosing his job for anyone". He then proceeds to tell me "you should really get your license renewed" Uhmmmm really? That hadn't effing occurred to me. read more

From a KPRC story dated 8/17/15; "The TABC launched a sting operation dubbed "Operation Bottoms Up," designed to identify retailers who substitute low-end alcohol for top shelf brands." "Einstein's Pub on South Mason Road in Katy was found in violation." read more

The bar wasn't horribly bad, nice selection of beer. The waitress/bartender played favorites with all the single men (imagine that). There were all men there when I went, definitely a masculine bar. The beer selection was nice but I don't ever see myself going back; definitely not worth it at all. read more

I don't like the smoky-ness of the bar...but i DO like the .35 cent wing night (MON I believe) and the fries are delicious crinkle cuts!!...and the beers (they have some nice ones on draft) are cold...went there with a gf...will be back....wait I just looked at their webpage...and their wing prices have gone UP to .60 cents per wing on mondays...that kinda sux...they have a good late running happy hr though. read more

Not a bad bar, but not the best experience either. Positives: really pretty tasty food, even if from a typically small bar selection. I wolfed down my chicken sandwich, and stole bites of my brother's burger while he was gone. They have pool and darts that aren't complete toys. Drinks are affordable, too! Negatives: the place is full of cigarette smoke, but that might not bother you. I guess that's just the nature of bars in Katy, but bars in Houston aren't far away either. My waitress also seemed annoyed by questions we asked, but she may have just been annoyed by the countless men hitting on her. I'd go again, but probably not a third time if my next waiter wasn't more friendly. read more

Stopped in on a Thursday night and was pleasantly surprised. I haven't been here in years but found it to be a decent place to have a beverage and watch the game. Angela provided very good service and treated me like a regular. I will return when in the area. read more

Nice little bar in Katy with a great staff! They have events nightly such as trivia, karaoke as well as food specials like steak night. We went on Sunday which is free pool and $2 burgers. The burger was huge, juicy and much better than expected. The only negative is they do allow smoking and the smell inside does reflect that, but there weren't too many people smoking there on a Sunday afternoon. In all I'd definitely return for a burger, a steak or some trivia! read more

Not a whole lot of places to go in Katy, but if if beer, lound bands and a rowdy crowd is what you seek...Einstein's has it! Maybe I'm just getting old, but the bar stools hurt my back and I usually have no voice when I leave! read more

A typical sports bar with big TV's, fairly cheap drinks, lots of games. there are many tables with bar stools. It was about 1/4 of the way full late Sunday afternoon, and my non-smoking eyes were already running, so no air cleaners I suppose. I was able to sit and talk with a freind over a few drinks, but we left soon in search of a more cozy place with couches. read more

I enjoy this place. They have Golden Tee, Silver Strike, pool tables and darts. They have good parties and most of the bar staff is friendly. The only thing that bothers me is when I go home, my clothes and hair reek of cigarettes since patrons are allowed to smoke inside. read more

If you like pool, darts or golden tee...this is where you need to be. I've been a regular for years. It doesn't disappoint. This bar attracts all walks of life; from small business owners to young professionals to old gamblers. Trivia is a blast and they always have the games of the day on some tv. The band selection has declined over the years but that doesn't mean it's bad. If you ever see "the clocks" on the schedule...you better be there. read more

Worst experience ever. The door guy with the beard is the rudest person I've ever met. If trash works at the front, trash is site to fill the bar. No thanks. read more

The bartender was all about herself and the socializing aspect around her. I would not consider this a customer oriented type of place. Service sux IMO read more

I used to go to this bar every time I was in the Katy area visiting family...not anymore. Went here the other night with my wife and a very close friend (with whom I'd been to this bar several times). First round went smoothly: we each got a pint of No Label (a local Katy brew). Second round came and my wife ordered a fat tire (she'd never had it before). She tastes it and it tasted kin of weird to her. My friend and I both take turns tasting it and we agree that it was way off. I've been drinking Fat Tire for about 10 years on tap and in bottles/cans. I know how it tastes. I went up to the bartender and told him it was off and that I wanted to change it for a Shiner Bock for her (figuring it'd be safer). He seemed to be a little put-off by this request but replaced the beer for me anyway. He didn't ask me exactly what was wrong, mind you, he just dumped it and then sniffed the empty pint glass (what?). At this point things were going smoothly. Since we'd entered the bar we'd been ignored by a waitress who much preferred hanging out barside than tending to customers. Soon another waitress came, introducing herself and being overall nice. We order round three with this girl. The drinks come out to us with little delay. I'd made the mistake of ordering a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, one of my favorite beers. We get our drinks and I take a sip of my pint. Awful. Something, once again, is fucked up. I don't know if it has to do with dirty taplines, an old keg or a combination of both, but it tasted way off. My wife, being nice, decided to take mine back to the bartender, since I took hers back earlier. I notice that she was taking a long time so I turned towards the bar to see that chimp of a bartender hassling my lady. I get to the bar to hear the barman saying to my wife that we (the customers) are completely wrong in feeling that their tap beer was less than good. That people had been drinking both of the beers we'd sent back all day long without complaining. Even our waitress chimed in to defend him. Long story short, the bartender declares, "I ain't servin' y'all shit no more." He changes out the pint, we finish our round, and we get the hell out of there. It's a damned shame. This was a place where I enjoyed getting a few decent beers on tap in a relaxed environment, but an ignorant staff really fucked things up. Imagine going to a restaurant, getting served a rotten steak, complaining about it and then getting yelled at by the staff for not shutting up and eating it with a smile on your face. Fuck Einstein's. read more

This review is old but the experience never forgotten. Came here a while back with my husband and his friend. The music was so damn loud (and terrible) we couldn't even talk. Then the waitress who clearly only cared about the men at the table told me to not come back! Don't worry, I never will!! Bye Felicia. This place is whack! read more

They keep your credit card and they have a pos system. Very fishy. Further investigation needed I'll report back read more

My husband and I love this place!! We use to go there just about every Wednesday night to hang out with friends and enjoy the music. The waitresses and bartenders are awesome and always have been. Looking forward to the next time we go!! read more

Bartenders are kind, as well as servers, but the security is biased and unable to treat people with respect. I won't be back by choice.

After a few trips this place will win you over. Very big and spacious. A lot of darts boards and pool tables. Fantastic goldentee machine selection as well. Last but not least you get very good service from the staff. They remember your name and take care of their customers. read more

Great service with the exception of a few bad apples. Go on the right night and you're guanteed a good time. David and Josh keep this place running read more

The door guy with the long beard, aka Dennis is amazing ! All the staff are great, but the door guys and the kitchen guys are the best!

I cannot honestly say I will ever be frequenting this place again. Myself and some friends chose to visit Einstein's as it USED to be an amazing place to visit. After paying a cover, we found out that they were not playing the UFC event (which we had been told by some friends that they usually did. We stayed through the night as we had already payed. The beer was okay, the smoke was overwhelming, and the band was decent. After last call, we went outside to be greeted by a brawl in which one man had been stabbed. If this lack of security and "safeness" is what is to be expected, do not count on me spending my money here again. Bar fights will happen. Attempted homicide? I'll pass. If "0" stars was an option, I would not have given it one at all. read more

My friends and I came here a few weeks ago for a UFC fight to discover they charged a cover! About 20 steps away at Bourbon Street, it was free. :-) We ended up staying there all night- at Bourbon street! I don't think I missed out on much! Its sad, Einstein's has been a Katy staple for so long, but they really are losing their fan base. Its a cramped space, with music blaring. Far too many over drinking, and far too many fights going down. Police were there a few weeks ago for what I learned because of a stabbing. http://www.katytimes.com/articles/2010/10/03/news/doc4ca601625b712628746428.txt There are much better, safer and funner places to hang out at in Katy! read more

First, the name Einstein's Pub is about as accurate as nicknaming your fatass friend Slim. I dare say that few patrons of Einstein's are familiar with the Theory of Relativity, much less the theory of critical opalescence. Wormholes, however, may be known of amongst the Stargate fans. Misnomer aside, Einstein's is a completely serviceable bar. Cheap beer, big tvs, a nice jukebox and, as near as I can remember, a clean bathroom floor. At least I haven't suffered any ill-effects from that fall yet. The real question you have to ask yourself is whether Einstein's is the right place for you. Hopefully the following questions will help you decide. Are you a townie? Do you like Nickleback? Do you like drama at the table next to you? How about in the parking lot? I guess that's it really, if you love Nickleback and don't mind having to break up fights Einstein's pub is right for you. read more

Bring back the bands on Saturday night, and think about trying some new rock bands around Houston.

This is my favorite hangout in Katy. I've been going here for the past couple years with a group of work friends and we always have a good time. They have great drink prices during the week and some tasty sandwiches. I love the staff and the bands are consistently the best in the area. I'd still like to hear more original bands (I miss Austin), but the bartenders say that cover music is the only thing that plays in Houston :-( When the Crisis comes back to play originals I am SO there. read more
