We had dinner at Oak & Antler while visiting El Paso from Colorado, and let me tell you…read more.. everything was absolutely delicious and fantastic! We ordered the Steak Frites, Brussels sprouts, the burger, cocktails, and finished with the peach cobbler and every single thing was amazing. The food, the ambiance, the service, and the hospitality were all top-notch. Our server was wonderful, but what really made the experience stand out was how welcoming everyone was. The owner stopped by our table to say hello and ask how we were enjoying everything, and even brought us some shots. The chef also came out to check on us and make sure we were enjoying our meal. Those little personal touches made the experience feel so special. We were visiting from Colorado, and honestly, this was probably one of the highlights of our trip! There's just something so enjoyable about great food, good conversation, and meeting wonderful locals along the way. I'm not sure when, or if we'll make it back to El Paso, but I would absolutely come back just to eat here again. If you're in the area, you truly can't go wrong with Oak & Antler!

I had a watermelon, mint and tequila cocktail that was as advertised, "summer in a glass!" The comes a braised short rib and Oregon Pinot Noir - both to die for. The puree under the ribs and pumpkin seeds made all the textures and tastes wonderful. (And shame on me. I was so excited by that plate I forgot to take a picture!!) Nooow add in my server, Solomon, and it's nearly a party! But then... here comes the Chef to check on me, and his name?? FREEDOM!! Just soak that in! This is a can't miss spot if you're in El Paso.

If it's not too busy, the staff are usually very personal / happy to talk to you. - Great vibes - my favorite is usually the main tiki room and its booths, but the outside patio can be really nice as well - Food - portion sizes vary a good bit, so I recommend telling the how hungry you are and/or asking about portions. If you have the right expectations, I think you'll enjoy the food. I've liked all the food I've had, and so did my companions.

But the attitude from the bartender should have been an indicator for us to walk away. I asked for some drinks in which the bartender proceeded to just stare at me. I asked "May I see a menu?" It was as if I was inconveniencing him. We finally ordered our cocktails (a Negroni and their version of a sprit). The bar was so dark that I had to keep pulling my flashlight just to look at the menu and sign my receipt. Then we decided to go upstairs to try to enjoy our drinks and to our surprise, we saw that the wine glass for the spritz isn't even washed. They poured our drink with dirty glassware. When we noticed, we decided to leave right away. Would not recommend this place at all.

Spent the whole day out and ended the night at a hookah bar celebrating a birthday and belly dancing with the Kazan sisters at Puff Social! We took 360 photos courtesy of Funboxxpb. Who knew El Paso had such a fun experience comparable to any I've had in Orange County CA? Now if I could only find a good Za'atar Manakish I'll be a happy woman!

Prior to coming I heard nothing but great things from locals who live here recommending it. Went last night and was wowed. Not only was the hookah smooth and flavorful it was prices well. The atmosphere was what I wanted. Great music with nice mix of genre's everything flowed well. The staff was exceptionally nice. The owner went out of his way to make sure I was good. This is the type of service everyone wants wherever they go. The owner talked to us as we smoked very down to earth and was a great host. Also saw him speak to other guest as they walked in. Very nice place. This will definitely be my home while I'm here. Can't get enough of the experience. Because that's what it is when coming here. An experience.

Since I was with folks who grew up in the adjacent neighborhood we all appreciated the house being repurposed with thought and they have done a nice job turning into a quaint bar with a large patio area. Decor/vibe - 5* The overall vibe of this place is great. We visited on a weekend and there was a live jazz band, who were quite good though it is definitely loud inside during that time. If you have an Apple Watch it will complain to you about the dB registering over 85 for sustained periods of time. In this instance it was about 90-100 the entire time we were there. Throughout the inside there are tabletops with seating and standing, the bar is long without overcrowding the seating which is a nice touch for those sitting at the bar vs those simply trying to order a drink at the bar. There is plenty of area to stand or sit out on the patio as well and one can still hear the live band which makes for a great ambiance. I'd recommend the patio area as the vibe out there is great. There is a bar service area outside connected to the interior bar area though it was not actively setup when we visited. Well thought and makes service streamlined without running between patrons. Food & Drink - 4* The drinks we had were good though nothing on the menu is super "craft" cocktail if that's what you're after. The wine and beer selection is decent as well. Service - 5* The bartenders are very attentive and did a great job balancing the number of people without service times being too long. Pricing - 4* Subjective but IMO nothing is over the top and the service was quick. Overall - 4.5* This is a cute and quaint cocktail bar for those who may be in a group or just taking a date after a meal nearby. I'd recommend visiting and we will all certainly be back!

It has plenty of lounge chairs, tables, and heat lamps for the cooler winter months. Very spacious. Inside, there's a full bar and restrooms. Tons of room, big dance floor and DJ area. The bar and staff are great. We had a VIP table here for NYE. But it's not just for parties. You can visit here whenever. Often, we will have a celebration dinner of some sort at 1700 Steakhouse downstairs. One time, for Judez birthday, they not only provided us with a bottle of champagne, but then afterwards they escorted us upstairs (10th floor - El Mirardor), and gave us a free drink or two on the rooftop. It's a cool place and worth checking out from time to time!

The layout of this establishment really does contribute to its ambiance and how comfortable it makes you feel, welcoming you in with a hug almost! The staircase leading upstairs is pleasant, as well as the vibe downstairs. The board games are a plus if you're with a group of people or just a pair. Others can be seen doing some work, enjoying the Frank Sinatra sounds or just the whole ambiance itself. I went during the World Cup, it was showing and everyone had a great time! I've been back a few times since then and each visit is one to remember. A great cigar is only part of the experience. The lounge, the service, and the atmosphere matter just as much. The liquor collection is nice, humidor is spacious (rules to follow as pictured), and comfortable seating. The staff is knowledgeable and receives a 5/5 for customer service, knowledge and overall engagement. Since being in El Paso this summer this has been my go-to spot! I've enjoyed each visit, each interaction and each song played! Check them out on social media and give them a follow! Cheers! Smoke well.

If you're reading any of my El Paso posts, it seems like everything is right down the street from my hotel. But I digress. So I was super excited to go to this amazing little cigar lounge and bar. When you first enter you are greeted with a very warm and inviting interior, big glass case with all of the cigar accoutrement you could want. Go up to the front counter, if you're going to stay and go upstairs to the lounge which has a full bar, you need to drop off a credit card at the front desk and start a tap. You can put cigars and drinks and what not on there. The humidor is really good sized, tons of brands that I had never heard of before... In fact, the only brand that I had heard of that They carried was Fonseca, which is a damn good cigar in its own right, but I wanted to try something different. After going through the selection, I finally found one that looked good based on the owner's recommendation. One cool thing about this place is the owner is not afraid to sit and talk with you about cigars. We probably had a good 25-minute conversation about different brands and how the market has changed over the years. My friends finally arrived and so we headed upstairs to the lounge. It's a really nice and comfortable leather chair vibe with a full bar, so we grabbed a bourbon, and sat down to enjoy our smokes. We ended up being there for over 3 hours, as it was just such a cool laid-back place to hang out. Lot of people came and went while we were there and the staff was very kind and courteous to them. It definitely made for a fun and enjoying environment Bottom line? If you are looking for a good cigar lounge that also incorporates a full bar you could do no better than to check out this place when you are in El Paso!
