Similar to other recently opened venues that serve beer on tap and feature both indoor and outdoor spaces, there is something available for all ages in your party. Though parking is free in their lot, it does quickly fill up as the evening progresses. Our friends had reserved a few tables outside, but it also turned out to be the coldest day of the year, so we ended up settling inside. We sampled sliders, hot dogs, flat breads, pizza, pretzels, nachos, and chicken lollipops, which were served in metal catering trays along a long table. All the food items that were ordered were good. We did not order anything to drink, but the servers did a great job of coming by our tables to see if we needed anything throughout the evening, and he had quite a large party. The outdoor space is pretty large, with open areas of turf for lawn games and kids to run around. There is also ample outdoor seating, with a few food trucks along the outer part of the venue. Not sure if these are left out year-round, but they had these fire pit space heater/light sources between the tables that provided a nice touch to the outdoor space, especially as the evening grew darker. Although we don't live nearby, this was a great spot to celebrate a birthday, hang out with friends, date night, etc. I definitely recommend this place if you live on this side of town.

With a name like Beer Garden I had NO clue they had craft cocktails. And such an ample selection…read more.. cocktail categories of refreshing & balanced, booze/spirit forward, tiki, tart, sweet & an entire list of over 60 classic cocktails! The atmosphere is really great & with inside, outside, & lounge seating, they have a vibe for everyone. - Inside is a large open area and the beers bar is located there. - Outside you have covered & uncovered seating and both areas lend themselves to a large group/party. Also there is an artificial grass open area which is setup for a great space for the kids to play. - The lounge is where the cocktail bartenders are located and is an inside, chill adult vibe. You order your beer or cocktails at the respective bars and then take your drink to your preferred inside, outside or lounge seating. If you order food at the bar, they give you a number & the food will be brought out to you. I was thoroughly impressed with the place, the concept. I hung out in the lounge so I can only speak about that service. All the bartenders were super friendly. They quickly acknowledged patrons as they approached the bar. Shout out to bartender, Rojas. He gave great drink recommendations based on sharing your preferences and was also great to talk to. I didn't have any food because they were out of chicken sliders & chicken lollipops. It was a Saturday late afternoon. On my way out I saw 2 food trucks on property by the patio area where u can order food. I highly, highly recommend trying this place! My experience was 4.5 stars, leaning toward 5. I will definitely return & may have to upgrade my rating after I eat & get one more experience here.

Went on a Saturday night for an event. I ordered water and a french75 to drink while I looked over…read morethe food menu to make a decision on what I wanted. The french75 was kind of weak. For my meal, I decided on the falafel and rice and the teriyaki wings. I asked the server if I could have only flat pieces for the wings and he said they would be mixed. I said okay, no problem. When I received the wings they were all drums. I do not care for drums but I ate them anyway. The flavor of the teriyaki sauce was good and the wings were crispy. The falafel and rice were also good and fresh. Service was slow, understandably so. It looked like there were maybe 1 or 2 servers working. I did not like that the water I ordered ended up being a bottle of water that I was charged $2 for. I wondered why they did not offer complimentary glasses of water. I don't know if I'd go here again but if I did, I'd try something different.

I saw beer on the menu however not sure what they had as they only listed domestic or import. Inside is very modern and new. It is a bit small inside, I think you're ok going solo as the bar takes half the space up. Groups bigger than 4 might have trouble with seating if it's busy. Its in a small shopping center where most of the other businesses are closed later at night. Overall very nice place and will go back again.

Ambiance: Local wine bar in Katy with upscale modern decor featuring a nice bar and multiple…read morelounge/table options I would have loved to give Cork It 4 or 5 stars but the conversation I had with the bartender as I was closing out completely changed my entire experience. This is a nicely decorated bar with a decent wine menu, unique crafted cocktails, and well-displayed appetizers/boards. Great for a date night or individual hanging out at the bar. I run a local social club and we have a WhatsApp group where I shared Cork It and we decided to meetup here on a Tuesday evening. When I arrived at 6pm, there were only 4 people at the bar. We slowly had people from our group trickle in and I would say by 7-8pm, there were about 12 of us in total. We took up 4 of the tables, however there was still plenty of bar/lounge seating as well as a large table in the corner for other patrons. The service was incredibly slow. Took about 10 mins per person to place and receive a drink order, food took a significantly long time. From 6-8pm, I only had the chance to order one drink. Mind you, there were never more than 15-20 patrons at one time (including our group). None of us complained or were upset about the service/wait time. When I went to close out, the bartender complained to me about bringing in so many people and said I should have booked an event/party with them so they "could have been prepared." This wasn't a party or event I was hosting. This was quite literally 12 people who arrived at different times, sitting at open tables or the bar to socialize and order a drink/menu item. In this economy and with how much local places are struggling, I cannot imagine telling a customer they "brought in too much business." I was told Tuesdays are usually "dead." It seemed like she just didn't want to have to actually be busy for 2 hours. As a local community organizer/supporter, I cannot continue to support any place that complains about new customers. If they do not want groups, that's something that could have been shared as we started filling up their tables. Any bar that can't comfortably handle 15 patrons at a time is clearly inexperienced and not expecting to grow. To act like we overwhelmed them is wild. I would think the goal for any bar would be to have their tables taken up at prime dinner time.

I haven't been to this spot in years. I forgot how good this place was!…read more Music is always popping here. I came in on a Friday night, and they had a live DJ playing. The music is a mix of EDM, Hip-hop, Rap, and R&B. They have tables and bar top seating. If you have a bigger group, I'm sure you can find a table depending on the time you arrive. There is a lot of seating. To start off, I ordered the Matcha Martini. It was STRONG omg, definitely a sipper, but it was so good. It was creamy and had a good matcha flavor. I love how they added matcha powder on top. For drinks, I also tried their espresso martini and Bubbly Pineapple. The espressos here are good, no complaints. The Bubbly Pineapple is so cute; it comes out with a bubble of smoke you can pop. The drink is very refreshing; it really tastes like pineapple. FYI, the drink has little black seeds, so if you don't like textures in your drink, maybe this one isn't for you. Also the drink came with a little frozen pineapple you can add to your drink once you pop the bubble As an appetizer, I got a dozen raw oysters and decided to add the $5 tobiko (fish eggs). Let me say, they were not stingy with the Tobiko, there was so much on my Oysters, I mean a lot! The oysters were good, and so was the tobiko, but I feel that with so much tobiko, it kind of took away from the oysters. Still good though, especially for $21 for the dozen with the tobiko! It was very filling I'm not gonna lie, I got pretty full with the oysters, but I still had to eat my entree As an entree, I ordered the Short Ribs, which came with rice and a side salad. I didn't think I was going to eat much of my entree since the oysters had filled me up, but I ate the short ribs down to the bone! Every single one of those ribs I devoured, no meat was left on my plate. I didn't have space to eat, but my stomach made space for this. 10/10 would recommend the short ribs, especially with the delicious sauce it came with. I think it's like a fish sauce 10/10 for food and drinks. Bonus: the staff here is really friendly. I really enjoyed my time here. I need to come more often for sure, this is definitely a Katy gem

Had no reservations anywhere on a Friday night but called GiAu Bar n Bites & they said come on in, we don't get our crowd till late night. It was fairly empty at 7:30p but by the time we left at 9:45p there were a few more ppl. Funny thing is, the age of most customers was 40-60s. The music is pumping loudly with no DJ but at 9p the DJ came in & took the music up another level! I think the older folks come out early & likely the younger people take over after 10 or 11p. ( I won't be able to confirm that theory cause I'll be home by then!) Food & services were good as usual. The bartenders do a great job check them out!

Service was extremely slooooow... waited 45 mins for 4lbs of crawfish, asked for butter and a tray to put the shells in, they said yes and the cook never came back so I had to go get my own at the cooking area. Our server was lack luster and didn't seem like she wanted to be there. She didn't even come to apologize for the wait or that the food was coming. We had to ask for refills and napkins after waiting 15+ mins until she came back to the grass patio area. Crawfish finally came it was lukewarm and some had a fishy taste. Best part there was maybe 15 people in the grass patio area and 3 people at the inside bar. Customers were cleaning off the tables to sit, getting their own napkins and going inside to get drinks at the bar. A table in front of us declined their potatoes and sausage bc it took so long after their other food came out. Also, we wanted to order cheese fries but were told they weren't doing certain foods bc there was only 1 cook. Lol Place has potential but needs to be cleaned up (random kiddie pool next to the outside crawfish cooking area) , food needs to be refined, servers need to be retrained and customer service needs to be a focus.

The restaurant wasn't very busy--just a few guests having lunch--but it seemed like only the bartender was working. Despite that, she handled everything really well, taking care of the bar and tables while still being attentive to us when we walked in. She greeted us promptly and made the takeout process smooth and easy. We ordered the chicken quesadillas, and they did not disappoint. The portion size was generous and came with pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole--exactly what my wife was hoping for. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The only downside was the price. At around $15 plus a 20% tip, it came out to nearly $17, which felt a bit high for a quick takeout item. That said, the quality and convenience made it worth it. There was music playing, which gave the place a nice atmosphere even though it was a quiet Tuesday afternoon. Overall, if you need a quick stop for good food and efficient service, this is a solid choice.
