Wow, what a fantastic place to have lunch and hang out. You can bring your dog to play, have a great drink from the fun bar and a treat from the food truck!! We went for a quick lunch and then headed back with our puppy for a couple of hours. The inside restaurant and bar was very unique, loved it. Kind of retro and plenty to do. The outside is really fun all the way around. My puppy really loved the little river they have. The staff is amazing, attentive, sweet and extremely friendly. We will make Gringo Theory a regular place to go to. read more

Gringo Theory Patio Bar - Micheal meets Micheal - Bars Near Me - El Paso, Texas

A really cool bar on the East Side of El Paso. Better than most standard bars, where it's just a bunch of folks cramped inside a small space. Gringo utilizes their plot of land really well. Not only do the have a large, traditional bar inside, with plenty of tables and arcade games and music and of course, a big old bar... but they have a fenced off outside area as well. Pretty large too... as it boasts some water features, slides (yes full on adult sized slides), the large novelty games, swings, a turtle racing area (that's not a metaphor), tables, picnic tables, giant chairs (cute for photos), a REALLY good food truck and (to me), the prime feature - a Dog Park. YUP, Gringo Theory has an actual, big sized fenced off Dog Park INSIDE their outdoor area. So naturally, the place is dog friendly. Now then, with such amazing outdoor features, you can imagine during fair weather, paydays and weekends, the place gets packed. But if you go on a sweater weather kinda 1 week before payday Wednesday night? The place is yours for the taking lol. Tons of TVs everywhere, playing what everyone in a bar setting wants to see: Sports. Inside and outside, whatever game is on, will be on. The food truck is a nice touch. Some bars do boast a kitchen, but what's really cool about this place, they have an actual food truck inside the outdoor area right next to the dog park. Burgers, footlong hotdogs, loaded fries and loaded nachos, and of course... TACOS! Al Pastor, Carne Asada, and even some legit Birria! There is a bar, with bartenders, both inside and outside. So no matter where you're roaming around at, you can grab a drink. The staff is friendly and I've never had an issue with any of them. Overall it's a pretty cool place. You can drink, play games, hangout with friends and family or have a date, catch the sports game, bring your dogs, eat dinner etc. Just keep in mind peek hours and days. Well, unless that's what you're after. ME? I'm a 65 degree outside Wednesday night 1 week before payday kinda guy. This huge place can accommodate 100s... but when I go, I'm ok with there being like 20 people there, each of us taking our own corner of the land lol. Y'all go check it out! read more

Was in town visiting family and I feel like the place has potential but was just very loud which would be normal at a club but the setup gave more sit and chat type bar vibe read more

The workers at gringo (Patsy Damon, Alissa, Rob) were fantastic! Great service, continued service and almost acted like they knew my order before I asked. I've never been to a bar were I felt more excitement, well treated and letting me know future events. The food from the truck was great and the bar itself was busy yet didn't feel claustrophobic. read more

My wife and I and our dog visited Gringo Theory Patio Bar and had an excellent experience. Damon and Carla made our experience even better. If you have a dog, this is the place to go. Our dog was welcome inside the bar and outside on the patio. They have all kinds of patio games and an enclosed dog park. We will definitively return to Gringo Theory Patio Bar next time we are in El Paso. The food trucks are also excellent. The tacos were to die for! I can't say enough good things about Damon and Carla. Welcoming, making sure we were having a great experience and made our dog, Brandy, feel this was her home. Great Place, Great People, they love dogs, so bring your dog and enjoy what they have to offer. read more

Nice bar that allows dogs. Inside has a typical bar atmosphere, great service! The outdoor seating has a fenced in area depending on the size of your pup. Service was good and quick, beer and food were good as well. read more

The place was very nice, and has an indoor/concept. We sat both at the inside bar & on the roof deck. We ordered food while sitting on the deck, we could definitely tell our waitress was extremely new. Regardless, our dinner was really good (we had the mac) & two drinks. Right when we were leaving they were bringing a DJ in. Definitely would recommend as a place to bring friends or even a little date night! read more

If you are drinking beer, you are set, if it gets to you. Now, if you're on the side of a shot or mixed drink, you will be disappointed , the staff pour a three quarter shot for a single drink. If you request a double then the same applies. TABC would probably have a field day. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I have 3 little fur balls and some of the dog parks in El Paso suck because of all the thorns that get stuck in their paws. But this place is AWESOME!! My fur babies love it here because they can run and play in the little dog park while I chill and have a drink and some tacos. Also, the server girls are so friendly they love all dogs who come visit. The food is super delicious also.. I recommend the shrimp tacos because they super flavorful. They also have adult outdoor games inside and outside if you choose to chill with some friends and have drinks. This place gets pretty busy on Saturday's but if you come during the week it shouldn't be too bad. They also have karaoke inside the bar in case anyone is a good singer. The only bad part is that they only have one dog park area for big and small dogs so your BIG dog has to be nice to the little guys that want to play also... but besides that .... I will most definitely be returning again with my lil fur balls in the future. Enjoy my pics:) read more

Awesome place to come and hangout with friends or on a date! The drinks are good and there's always a ton of nice people here! They hand a ton of outdoor yard games like bags, connect 4, and much more. Coolest part is they are dog friendly and even have a fenced area for you pet pal. The ambiance here is good, and they even have a shack that sells food, I ended up getting (4) street tacos for $8. And honestly they were terrific! They have arcade games inside too! So much to see and do here, definitely will be coming back! read more

The ambiance was so relaxing and so dog friendly and exactly what we were looking for when we wanted our dog to take a nice break after road-tripping for 6 hrs while we wanted to grab a bite for ourselves! The outdoor patio is so clean and beautifully designed! He loved the bone pool and had so much fun with another dog. They were the only 2! Service was great, they were so attentive as we were supervising our dog in the park area. Food not the best quality (too pricey, lacked flavor, not too fresh) but drinks were good and we're happy the baby had fun! Would definitely come back! read more

The dress code thing is really weird- why can't men wear hats backwards? Weird flex. Had a good experience otherwise. Nice dog area. Food truck is a plus. But the whole experience was a little ruined by some smug dude telling my company how to wear a hat. Why? It states it nowhere on the doors or website so the only way to find out is to be confronted by some sfaff member in a questionable manner. Just a bummer that is totally not necessary and is a serious buzz kill read more

Gringo Theory Patio Bar - Bars Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I saw the lights of Gringo Theory from the highway and told my traveling companions that I had to try it. Two of us returned later that evening for cheap drinks and people watching. I'm pretty sure we were the oldest people to ever visit GT, and we were ignored as such so it was easy to people watch. The crowd was young - 21 to 30 and diverse but mostly Hispanic. The inside bar area has video game consoles and game tables - pool, foosball, etc. There are also a couple of games areas outside and they stayed populated - games like cornhole. There is nice-sized dog park and there were 2-3 people who'd brought their pups out. There is a food truck so snacks are available. The bar area is large and connected with a portion inside and outside. We ordered the cheapest drinks we've had in years - $6 each! We couldn't wait to pay for them! If you're young and visiting El Paso, Gringo would be a good pre-party spot. read more

Best service and friendly staff ever, along with Monica who made us feel welcomed This was our first time here and we loved it. Thank you so much and we will be back with our fur babies. The food was good as well. The ambiance was very inviting especially that we can bring our fur babies. They have a large area just for them. read more

Stopped by here when I went to El Paso! The drinks here are great and not expensive. The place is huge with so many games you can play. I enjoyed the glow in the dark pool. The only thing is that there are some games that don't work which kind of sucked. But everything else is great. Service was good. It's a great place to hang out with friends and family, or even take someone on a date. It's a great place where you can go to take really great photos. There's just so much you can do here, I'm glad that I got to stop by this place it was a great night well spent. read more

Gringo Theory Patio Bar - Need I say more!? - Bars Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Was visiting from out of town and thought this place was nice but it gets packed and there is not enough bartenders. It's has a lot of games, which is cool if that's your thing. I had a good time with friends but it wasn't anywhere to brag about. read more

Sunday Funday in The Sun City. Recently moved back to El Paso from Big D after 20 years and was in search for dog friendly establishments in El Paso. So glad my dog and I found Gringo's Bark Park/Theory Bar. Reminds me of a smaller version of Mutts Cantina (Big D) and The Shacks in The Colony, TX. Staff was friendly/welcoming, and they offer great happy hour specials. They also have a small food truck trailer in the back patio serving great tasting tacos and burgers. I hope this place continues to thrive and grow. There is so much potential to expand with all the vacant land around this establishment. Looking forward to return to Gringo's Dawg Park with my bestie read more

It was a great place to hang out. The drinks were good and the service was great! I will definitely visit again.

Love this place. First and foremost I love the concept of a patio bar that is extremely dog friendly . Also love the patio games that are set up. This is a fun place where you aren't just sitting around. Very clean and well maintained. Kids are welcome during the day which is neat since it's such a nice patio area. read more

It was pretty alright , I did enjoy the fries here though, I will give the place a second chance,.

Great place to hang out with friends, have a few drinks, play games, watch sports, etc.. It's packed on Friday and Saturday night. Good size crowd on most nights. Bar keeps and staff are awesome. Food trucks out in the patio. Pet friendly, dogs are welcome. Swings at the bar. Lots of games in patio and inside. Nice pond and lighting sets up a romantic touch. Check it out and see what the latest and greatest bar in el paso is all about! read more

Upon entering the establishment, we were greeted by the doorman/ bouncer( not sure), the second person to welcome us was Colby Shannon whom I thought to be another staff member. Turns out, he owns the place, my baby Chloe( my chihuahua) was given a little doggy treat bag!... The interior is nice but, I love the beer garden or patio, the bar itself offers no food however, there's a food truck next to the patio. Our server Frida was friendly and well informed. read more

The service is good and bar/patio are great but the crowd is a little young and ghetto at times which kind of ruins the experience.

This place is not it. Been here a couple of time hoping I could like it and it's just not there.

Updated patio area ready for summer night's! Very cute backyard with a mini river running through it, fake grass, picnic tables, patio chairs, and string lights set up. Friday night drink specials were reasonable but there is no beer on tap. Service was very good. They have every bar game you could ask for. Ping pong, beer pong, corn hole, and more. We love stuff like that so we enjoyed our time. They will give you complimentary popcorn if you ask, though a food truck is on site for more munchies. read more

It's something different from the normal outdoor bar. Who doesn't like dog as well! It was clean outside and in BESIDES outdoor bathroom. It smelled so bad I had to hold my breath. Otherwise it's a great place to interact with new people since there is a lot of different group things to play. Watch your drink charge. I ordered the same thing all night and it changed every time I got a new drink. Please county your change if you pay in cash 2 times in one night I had to tell them what my price for the drink was earlier and tell them they gave me the wrong change. read more

Great bar located in El Paso. If you come before 8p, service is excellent, drinks are mostly good, and their food truck has the best flautas and nachos on the east side. If you come after 9pm (especially on weekends) expect a packed bar, busy servers, and bad service. Come for the happy hour! read more

This is such a hidden gem in El Paso!! You walk in and there is the bar on the right and an arcade area as well as glow-in-the-dark pool tables on the left. Everything costs money in quarters and there is a machine to swap money for change as long as you have cash. The outdoor area is sooo cute! There is an outdoor bar with four big TVs and the entire outdoor area is lit-up at night! There's a yard with basketball beer pong, corn-hole, Jenga, ping-pong, and connect-four. There's also a food truck with delicious tacos. ALSO (the coolest part)-- there is actually fenced in dog parks attached to the outdoor area- one for big and one for small dogs. The entire place is super dog friendly- you can have them inside or outside on a leash and bring them in the dog park unleashed. The dog parks are a pretty good size for a bar. I went when it was dark out, but it seems like a nice place for a Saturday afternoon as well- they open at 2 pm. I also loved the music. They played 90s-early 2000s hip hop and alternative/rock. They also did mix in some current music. Most people were in their late 20s-early 30s. Plenty of seating for big groups of people! A cool place to hangout with a group of friends and bring your dog while drinking a beer. The only reason I gave it four stars was because the actual bar selection was disappointing. They don't have draft beers-only bottles. They also don't have their liquor showing, so I wasn't really sure what liquor they had. If the bar were to improve, I would give it five stars. read more
