Their taproom is a moderate size, but their large patio and outdoor spaces allow for seemingly all of Tyler to have a seat at True Vine. I came on a Saturday evening and had a few pours with my girlfriend and a longtime friend. I had The Phoenix Lights Amber and a darker beer as well. Both were great, and the staff were all nice. The thing I remember most was that my friend and my girlfriend both had their Daddy's Shandy, which fuses their Daddy's Juice Box Double IPA with their house-made lemonade that is really excellent. I always enjoy hitting up True Vine when I'm in town because they always seem to have it on lock. RIYL: Brewskis or the largest outdoor space you've ever seen. Like multiple acres.

After dinner on The Square, we made a pit stop at Black Pearl, a small, narrow bar attached to…read moreRick's On the Square. We all ordered a drink. My friend and my girlfriend both ordered their espresso martini that my friend claimed was the best espresso martini in town, while I got the bartender's recommendation of the Animal Style, a pineapple and jalapeño infused tequila with strawberries, cardamom bitters, and a lemon peel garnish. Normally, I hate any drink that is spicy. I cannot stand a Bloody Mary because I don't believe drinks should be allowed to be spicy, but this one, for having jalapeño, is not spicy at all. If anything, it's slightly savory with its tropical flavor. The bartender was great. They have appetizers and tapas as well and as my girlfriend sat down, she really wanted just one of their fresh oysters. I ordered her just one to try and it was $4.25. They gave us the smallest one they could find. The tiniest oyster of all time. I guess size really didn't matter because according to her it was very good. I would go back and have a few more cocktails, but it is a nice place to hang out on the square on a Friday night. A good time to be had by all. RIYL: The finest, most $15ish cocktail you can find.

They get overwhelmed quickly. We have been several times and it is always like this if there is more than 6 people in the restaurant. They only have one guy doing food and two bar tenders. We like to order a mix of oysters They have available and then do another dozen of our favorites. We end up waiting an hour+ between when we get the first set and get the second set. Restaurant is cute on the inside and the cocktails are good.

All the reviews that I read (bad) talked about "this isn't what a speak easy is" well genius. A speak easy hasn't been around since prohibition. So technically you are correct, for a moron. The atmosphere was like going back in time. Our waitress, Morgan was sweet as can be. I look at yelp, normally, when going to eat. All the bad reviews are not about bad food but more about mundane experiences by what seems to be pretentious people. The food is quite excellent and not your everyday pub food. Our entire party was quite pleased with the quality of food and the imagination behind the recipes. I highly recommend you overlook the bad reviews and enjoy the flavors they offer. Our group of 9 visitors from out of town will beck.

Great atmosphere, very clean and super friendly staff! Now, the important stuff: the food. We started by sharing a wedge salad, complete with bacon, blue cheese dressing, blue cheese chunks (yum!) and all the crispiness a wedge brings. Very fresh and the dressing was a clue cheese lover's dream. Had the pickle ranch wings and the chicken club sandwich with broccoli cheese soup on the side as our entrees. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Now, here's what you should absolutely order if you go here. Do not skip the pretzel with a side of beer cheese or the desserts. The pretzel is like the old Auntie Anne's pretzels in the mall years ago - only a thousand times better!! I will never come here and not order this again every single time. If you like huge, fluffy, salty, crispy on the outside pretzels, this is THE place to get them!! 10 out of 10! For dessert, we got the trio dessert (can't remember the name), but it came with 3 different skillet cookies, topped with ice cream and whipped cream and it was sinful how good they were! We got the chocolate chunk, the caramel and the strawberry shortcake. No words. Just drool. Lots of drool! I can't wait to come back and try their burgers, steaks and pizza - they looked so good too as I watched them being carried out to other tables. They have an extensive menu so you will not have a problem finding something you like. Shout out to our server Devin - she was fantastic, very helpful, kind and very attentive to all of our needs and special requests! Bartender Todd was also amazing and so friendly! The manager even stopped by our table to ensure we had a great experience. We definitely did! I'm so impressed with the service and food here at BJ's - I think it's my new favorite place in Tyler! Thanks for a GREAT dining experience!!

Finally our intrigue outgrew our wariness and we decided to go for dinner. We were pleasantly surprised by everything we encountered! We were seated promptly and our server was awesome! We order the queso as a starter and the serving size was massive and fed our group of 4 PLENTY of cheese. I personally ordered the chicken fajitas and while I wouldn't say there was anything impressive about them I did think they were good. Additionally we ordered the lobster Mac and cheese, pork sliders, and chicken tortilla soup. All of us came to the conclusion at the end of dinner that we really enjoyed our time at Lago Del Pino and thought our food was good. It's definitely a place you go to more for the view and atmosphere than the food but that doesn't have to mean that the food is bad! I'd recommend coming out and trying it for yourself if you're on the fence.

The only indoor seating was around the bar. Place is dirty because of the new flooring. Probably should have just shut down for the night to clean. We started with the trio appetizer. The queso has been sitting for a while and there was a skin on top when they served it, the street corn is old, and the salsa is middle of the road. We met our daughter and her boyfriend for dinner. When the waitress came over instead of taking drink orders she asked if we wanted to do shots. We opted for water. He had the shrimp Alfredo. It only came with 4 over cooked shrimp. My wife and I had the fajita special. This is nothing special. They cut the meat with the grain instead of against it, so it made them chewy. And just tasted like grilled flank steak not really fajitas. The waitress through the whole meal was hard to find and we ended up waiting for about 20 minutes to get the check. Mind you there were only 6 people at the bar plus the 4 of us. We were the only people in the whole place. We might come back in the fall for drinks and the live band but not the food.
