Post Beer & Wine is one of those neighborhood spots that instantly makes a bar crawl better. We…read morestopped in during a crawl and ended up lingering longer than planned, which feels like the best compliment you can give a place. We enjoyed a glass or two of wine, tossed some darts, and soaked in the relaxed, unpretentious vibe. It is casual in the right way. Easy to talk, easy to stay, and not trying too hard to be anything other than a solid local bar. The real highlight, though, is Posty the bar cat. An adorable black and white cat who clearly runs the place. Getting to know Posty outside was an unexpected and genuinely charming moment that made the stop memorable. If you are a cat person, this alone will win you over. Even if you are not, it is hard not to smile. Great drinks, darts, friendly energy, and a bar cat that steals the show. Post Beer & Wine is exactly the kind of place you hope to find when hopping around Houston, and absolutely worth a stop even if you are not on a crawl.

They also have dog bowls and water for your pups if needed. The bartender/owner was great, she let me try a beer before committing and checked on me several times during my stay there. It's nice to see they added more seating and more personal touches to the place. There's artwork to purchase on the walls, more tvs, additional cans of seltzer or thc drinks if that's more of your style. I love how it's locally owned and brewed. They were having smoked wings. 6 for $10 or 10 for $15. Comes with chips, carrots/celery and ranch. They were quite smokey, a lil salty but still delicious. The vibes are chill and they had football on. All and all a great place to stop by for a beer.

We ended up being mostly the only ones in the brew house for most of the evening which was a surprise, we enjoyed the beers and the service. There is a local brewery that is inside the brew house, Turkey Forrest Brewing. We enjoyed the hazy IPA, cream ale, and a watermelon tajin ale they had on tap. They also have beers and canned beverages from a variety of other places and popular canned drinks too, to suit any preference. My boyfriend and I had a really fun time playing board games they had available and chilling out. There were also Halloween movies and a playlist playing. Seems like we were there on a slow night, they appear to have events throughout the week such as a run club and bingo nights. Definitely a fun, chill option in the area!

Anyone who knows me understands I tend to avoid the corporate or heavy investor funded bars. I will…read morereluctantly go to them with friends, but I prefer local joints that I can support. The types of places that combine the atmosphere I'm looking for: 1) has a good selection of beer, preferably local brewers; 2) some wine or craft cocktails for different preferences; 3) has a food menu, permits outside food, or brings in food trucks/pop-ups; 4) a laid back vibe that welcomes families and doesn't have the air of pretentiousness; and lastly; 5) a patio for the small windows of nice weather we have in Houston, or just anytime we want to bring along our four legged friends. I've rarely ran across an outdoor patio that doesn't permit pets and if they do restrict them, it's not worth my business. To that end, this spot ticks a lot of boxes. For those who aren't into the Houston F&B scene as much, Robin Berwick is the creative mind behind this spot. If you've ever visited a caffeine themed coffee and bar in the midtown area, you've been to another long standing establishment of hers. When Berwick's opened roughly over a year ago, I knew this would be a spot I'd enjoy. This spot tows the line well, it's not a dive bar, it's not pretentious, and it has the neighborhood bar feel that welcomes those looking for a great cocktail, a simple beer, or just some good vibes with family, friends, or kids. It feels like if a laid back tiki bar combined with a rustic feel. Living nearby, I think it fits the area. Food & Drink - 4.5* They have burgers, wings, friends, salads. All the food is good and I definitely recommend grabbing a bite during your visit. I particularly like their burgers and always grab a cocktail to go along with it. Service - 4* I've had mixed results, sometimes the attention to detail and service times are really good. Others they can be a little long or the sense their focus is elsewhere. Cost - 4* They used to have solid specials but they have dropped off over time. As an example, there used to be BOGO burgers on Wednesdays from 4-9 pm. Then it was 50% off. That's now only 25% off on Wednesday and only from 4-7 pm. They also had half price margaritas and frozen las brujas. This is now 25% off. Tuesday's was half price French 75s and Sazeracs. That's now 25% off. Thursday's used to be BOGO wings, $3 pacificos, and half price daiquiris. That is also now just 25% off wings, daiquiris, and cabana crushes. Fridays is industry night. They offered 25% off the entire food menu from 10 pm-12 am, now it's only 11 pm-12 am and only for the sandwich. Look, I worked in the industry, I know it's tough. I get that it's really tough for bars in Houston to make the margins work when the burdens seem to continue to rise. Landlords particularly are brutal /rant. It's even tougher when a bar is just getting their feet under them. This neighborhood has seen a lot of great additions in the last couple of years and the specials had us visiting more often, particularly when they ran til 9 pm. We now can't make it as often with the cutoff at 7 pm. Ultimately we were spending more time and money during the past visits, but I'm sure the overall margins were thinner for them. Possibly even some loss leaders to get traffic and business in the door. Now that the specials and times have tightened we elected to diversify to other bars nearby. Ultimately, they're all local and have the vibes I look for. Overall - 4.25* I highly encourage everyone to give this spot a visit if you're nearby. It's a great spot with good drinks and friendly neighborhood vibes. I do wish they would make some further adjustments to certain things that I thought differentiated them from others, the 4-9 pm specials was particularly strong as it allowed for the chance to visit more often when many folks can't make it by 7 pm. At least it isn't as bad as some bars, that I won't name that have basically limited their offering to a 1-1.5 hour happy hour (though it is half price) that runs so early that it's shocking how anyone could visit during that small window.

D&T has a lot of what I love in a simple old school icehouse bar. It's one of those low key…read moreneighborhood bars that want to go to anytime. It has the vibe when you step in that what's going on in the world pauses, a place to unwind, and just about everyone you run into in these types of spots are laid back looking for that same soul in a bar. If you're the type that wants packed, lively and busy, this ain't it (aside from big sports events). The original D&T icehouse first opened in the 1960s and closed in 2012. Then after acquisition and renovation, reopened in May 2013. There's been changing of ownership in that time, but the spirit of what this bar has been about remains. There is a parking lot across the settees and you can generally find parking around the place, which is always nice when you're just seeking to catch up with some friends and watch a game. To that end, the bar is long with a good amount of seating, there's also tables throughout and a large patio, mostly covered, if you have a pet or care to take in some sunshine. They typically have fans running in the summer and some heaters in the cooler months. There are TVs throughout which always have at least one sports event on. They are typically open in the afternoon and close around midnight aside from the weekends, when they stay open later. Food & Drink - 4.25* They have a solid selection of craft beer on tap, a good amount of local brewers, which is great. They also carry a selection of canned beer as well. There is a full bar if you are looking for something a little stronger or are not a fan of beer. As for food, it's a bit more of a roll of the dice. This has changed with time, but generally there's pop up vendors that will visit. You are also welcome to DoorDash or bring whatever you like in as well. Service - 4.25* Ive never had any trouble going into the bar and getting service. They don't have servers in the traditional sense, it's your typical dive bar where you want something, go get it at the bar. On occasion you'll have someone come out and grab an empty glass and they may ask if you want anything. Cost - 4.75* Always subjective but getting some good craft beer at a typical tap price is about as simple as it gets. There's a few that could be adjusted but I've never noticed anything too out of market norms. Overall - 4.5* The only knock I would give D&T over other nearby neighborhood bars in the area is the fact there is a more consistent food setup at most of the others - whether that is in house food or a good rotation of pop-ups. That said, this neighborhood "dive" bar offers just about everything I want in a spot. Local beer, great patio space, plenty of tables for friends or family, local sports, and non-pretentious vibes for those who tend to prefer being away from the massive crowds.

When I found the place, I was shocked to see how tiny it seemed! I was thinking, "Could 20 people even fit in there?" It was house-turned-bar that appeared to have been built in the 30 or 40's. When we went in, it was definitely all eyes on us for a minute. Rose was warm however, and we ordered two Lonestars off the advice of a previous review. The locals were an older crowd, but didn't mind us popping in. We even played a game of pool with them. Rose appreciated the tipping generousity of my boyfriend. She brought out Polish sausages for everyone to snack on! There's a lot of history in this place, with the building itself and the people that frequent it. We had sooo much fun, we'll definitely drop in again when in the area

Everyone certainly knows everyone here, and on my first visit last night, I quickly felt the love -- along with a good buzz with their $1.50 a pop (cash only) prices. And to end this review on an even more positive note, a relative of Rose Marie offered to walk us ladies back to our friend's casa. How sweet is that?

There are always a ton of people here, and it's the kind of place where you'll probably run into five friends you didn't even know were going to be there. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, a smoking section, and dogs are allowed. The whole place is pretty open, so it can definitely get a little hot when the weather is hot, but that's just part of the setup. The staff has always been friendly, quick, and attentive, even when the place is packed. Drinks are good and the bar is very well maintained and professionally run. They do have a food truck, but I can't really recommend it based on my experience. When I walked up to order, another customer stopped me and told me not to because they had already been waiting almost two hours for their food. Luckily, Kirby Ice House allows you to bring in outside food, so you can order a pizza, have someone bring food over, or grab something nearby instead. Parking can get a little tight during the bigger games, but most of the time it's manageable. They also check IDs at the entrance, so be prepared for that when you walk in. Overall, it's just a really fun, social place to watch a game, grab some drinks, bring your dog, and hang out with a big group. It gets crowded, but that's also part of what makes it fun.

We got there 2-3 hours early, ordered drinks and ordered food from the food trucks. The taco truck's street tacos were so good, but it was a 40-45 minute wait that day...and it was SO HOT out. You get a buzzer, so there's no point in waiting by the truck. Might be quicker on other regular days, though. The burger food truck was quicker, but I wasn't in the mood for it. There's a variety of seating for whatever you prefer - picnic table, iron table, bar table, and cushioned patio lounge chairs. The servers checked in often and brought the drinks out. There's a free water station with cups. Restrooms are down one end. Ironically, on the game day, the women's restroom line moved quicker than the men's! Lol. Great place to hang out and catch a game!
