They have a pretty good selection of beers and of liquors (I presume wine, too, but I didn't check). While there are "bourbon bars" with a wider bourbon selection or "gin bars" with a wider gin selection, they have an above average selection of each, and they don't charge absurd up charges for choosing the liquor you like. The bartender is very polite. There's ample seating at the bar, and you can also take your drink to some loungy-er chairs in the nearby part of the hotel lobby. All in all, a solid bar.

I stopped by here killing time. I searched happy hour for bars and this popped up. I didnt realize…read moreit was inside of a hotel until I pulled up surprise! You walk in and the bar is to your right. It was about 6 and no one was at the bar. There was a group of guys discussing something over drinks in the lounge area but that was about it. The bartender came right up to my boyfriend and I. I told the bartender my boyfriend had never been to Texas so we tried out essentially every tap by sampling which was nice that he offered that up. After we tried each beer we decided on some options. The bartender went back to texting in the corner and we sat at the bar listening to the music playing in the open concept lobby/bar area We eventually took over the seating area that group was in because the couches looked more cozy than the bar. The happy hour advertised is not a thing anymore, they now have reverse happy hour from 9-10. The beers weren't too expensive as our tab was only $13 which I doable. The bartender disappeared from the bar for a fair amount of time which made me anxious because I used to be a bartender, I guess he trusted we wouldn't leave without paying. He didnt come check on us to see if we needed another beer but that was ok I guess. I went back up to the bar to cash out and that was that. This bar is good for a quick drink but I wouldn't probably go for a top notch bar experience.

The beet carpaccio was unique and put together well. The braciole was seasoned and presented well. The risotto was cooked well and the salmon had a wonderful crisp on top. The beef bourguignon was delicious too.

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately it was a miss…read more I started with the beet carpaccio, which was actually enjoyable. The portion was fair and the ingredients felt fresh. The vinaigrette leaned very citrusy, which overpowered the dish a bit, but I couldn't help thinking that adding some goat cheese would balance it beautifully and elevate the whole plate. Then came the pasta bolognese... and that's where things went downhill fast. The ricotta was completely flavorless, the meat was tough, and overall the dish lacked seasoning. It was honestly one of the most disappointing bolognese dishes I've had. One more thing that really stood out: the interior has carpet flooring. In a food establishment, that feels deeply unhygienic and off-putting. 1/5 stars -- a strong start with the appetizer, but the main course and overall experience completely missed the mark.

Curry is a bit heavy but pairs well with their Naan. Honestly, the best thing here is their naan. Update: the chicken biriyani is pretty good! Drinks (2/5): Shocked by the quality based on their regular price. The Velvet Karma was okay (tasted like watery Bailey's with cinnamon). The Karma Sutra was mostly cough syrup, almost no liquor tasted in either. Both $15 each. Service (2/5): The waitresses are all hardworking but they seem super short-staffed. The whole place was packed but they're too busy to be out in the front. It took forever for food and drinks to come out also, despite it hasn't been packed yet. Took 15 min for the cocktail to be out and was watery... Ambiance (3/5): The live music at 7pm didn't start until 7:20. We came earlier and waited for it to start. Super disappointed and wanted to like this place. We can't see ourselves back unless these changes. It just seems stingey as a business to lack liquor in cocktails this price. The staff and manager were all nice, it's just not well run unfortunately.

Overall: 2.6/5 [dine in]…read more The place is nice, but smaller than expected. They had bubble guns too, which was a fun surprise. We came in near closing time, but Emilia provided us great service and stayed attentive even though they were clearly packed. We were seated at a table near the door, and unfortunately it had a vomit smell. Whatever it was, my friend could not stand it and had to get up and step away from the table. We first thought the culprit was the paper drink coasters, but then the staff removed the door mat near us later on, so maybe someone puked on it and the smell lingered, even after it was cleaned up. Clear Mizu ($16): This has Sakura vermouth and bitters, so we ordered it. It tasted like straight up gin and was not good. It was actually one of the rare times my husband could not finish his drink. Kyoto Sunset ($15): This one wasn't bad and tasted like honeydew. The ingredients include honeydew Calpico, so that makes sense. Johnny Walker Black ($16): This was our friend's drink, which I think was just coke and Johnny Walker. Nothing special about the taste either. Given the smell and so-so/terrible cocktails, we will not be coming back or taking our friends here.

This was my first time visiting Cork & Pig Tavern, and I have to say... I will DEFINITELY be back!…read moreI came with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday, and we had such a great experience. I don't remember our waiter's name, but BABY... he was GOOD! He gave us the full rundown of the menu, and what really impressed me was that there wasn't anything on the menu he hadn't personally tried. That made his recommendations feel genuine because he could actually speak to the flavors, portions, and what he thought we would enjoy. And based on his recommendations, I'd say his palate was ON POINT! I ordered the truffle fries and blackened fish tacos, and both were delicious! I also had a cocktail with gin and lavender bitters (or something lavender-ish ), and it was really good and refreshing. My husband ordered the fish of the day, which was some type of red fish served with a caper sauce and mashed potatoes. He said it was REALLY good--and judging by the empty plate, I believe him! There were several other things on the menu that caught my eye, so I already know I need to come back and try them. Great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere with friends. Cork & Pig Tavern, you've got a new customer! I'll definitely be back!

How is this acceptable at a Ritz? Caveat-I worked in restaurants many years and owned a restaurant…read moreso I am THE easiest going customer you can get, super nice, and patient b/c I know the job is hard. 1) Rude bartender: Older guy with a strong accent. Evidentially this particular bartender was not just rude to my friends and I on more than one occasion but judging from the reviews I read here-he's rude to everyone. No exaggeration-he snapped at me when I politely asked for a glass of ice. Keep in mind we had ordered 4 dinners, champagne, a bottle of wine from the very nice female server earlier in the evening...I was just asking for a glass of ice and he snapped. I remembered him from a prior experience doing something similar. WHY does the Ritz keep this person with multiple reviews complaining about him? 2) Takes too long to get food. I have been coming here since it opened and the food has always taken a long time likely b/c of the positions of the kitchen but it now takes a long time and it's simply NOT good. Edamame was cold with some weird chilly seasoning and zero salt, sushi was subpar, the chicken bites were flavorless and greasy, the $30 burger was OK but the fries were cold and soggy. 3) The atmosphere: at one point they had live music, now they don't and they don't even play music if at all/that is audible so it's such a boring/lame atmosphere it doesn't seem like the people who work there even want to be there. You have to flag people down to get any services. The decor is gorgeous but that is it. Sadly this is one of only two indoor dining options at this Ritz-this is supposed to be the mid level experience as the other option is a fine Italian Steakhouse. Makes me wonder how this resort is going to make it.
