    My friend and I came here for a pre-dinner drink. Besides the group of men crowding at the bar watching both Astros and Sunday NFL games, the interior of the place was empty. The decor is an old-school style. Similar to a cigar lounge or whiskey lounge furniture. Sadly, they were not comfortable couches at all. They just looked comfy and cozy, looks can be deceiving. I sat on one of the couches for a little while, and we had to move. It was rough, no padding. They also have a patio with tables/chairs out back, but only some of them were under the covered awning. The rest were tables under the sun. It looks like there was a TV out there as well, as people were watching a game. I did not see a menu, nor was I offered a menu by the one bartender. So I tried to order Shiner on tap, which she said they didn't have. But when I asked about the bottle, she said they did. Nearly all of the business surrounding this place and Davenports is shuttered. I'm hoping they have plans to renovate this stripe area because it's looking shabby! Parking is street, and there is no designated lot. But you can use one of the closed business lots, you should be fine.

    Great neighborhood pub/bar. Outside patio seating that is dog friendly. TouchTunes inside so you can select your own music. Full bar. Chill ambiance.

    I never understood why Pimlico's had a crowd on weekdays or why my friend talked about a bar's…read moresteak so much... until I went. Steak night starts at 7, which means that's when they start taking orders. If you want to beat the rush, you should already be in your seat by 6:30-6:45. It's a two-man show on steak night. The husband is outside grilling everything on what looks like a standard home grill while the wife is taking orders. Orders go out in batches. They're definitely efficient and work as fast as they can, but with that comes a little abruptness- they aren't the friendliest, but they're focused on getting everyone fed. We got there at 7:05 and didn't get our food until 8:25. Was the wait worth it? Absolutely. The steak was tender and juicy. The lamb chop was charred perfectly. And surprisingly enough, the sausage was my favorite. It was JUICY. When you bite into it, the juices literally burst out. Something had a little kick to it... it wasn't the sauce, but I actually liked it. The jalapeño cheddar mashed potatoes were also great.

    I go here for the Meat Mojo steak nights! Available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. The food…read moretakes a while to come out, but everything is being made to order, and it's definitely worth the wait. I get the full rack of lamb which comes with their ninja sauce and pineapples. For my side, I get the mashed potatoes. The lamb chops are the absolute best I've ever had! So tender, juicy, and smoky. All their sauces are so good too and compliments the meat perfectly! If you can't handle spice, I'd recommend just sticking to their ninja sauce though. The pineapple and mashed potatoes provide a nice break from all the meat as well.

    How have I never reviewed Saint Arnold Brewing Company?!…read more It's the longest running craft brewery in Texas, having won countless national awards. Though I don't drink beer anymore, I love that they do have a line of ciders and sparkling water at the brewery; and they have a few wine options. Most recently, I had their pizza margherita (made with cauliflower pizza crust, per my request). It was surprisingly very good! I wasn't expecting much, but it was crispy and had zesty pesto sauce that made it even better. If you don't want to order from their kitchen, they do have food trucks and other artisan vendors, entertainment. Do a tour if you can. It's kid and dog-friendly. And it's a great spot to watch some sports on their big screen with views of the downtown Houston skyline. Also, love that SA supports so many non-profit events. High community involvement...

    It's might be petty on my side but I'm taking off a star because of how terrible their heirloom…read moreTomato Salad. For $15 plus $5 for chicken, you'd expect it to be at least a decent sized salad and have salad stuff in there but you just get a few pieces of chicken and a green goo with just a few and I mean this literally, a few pieces of arugula? I guess I should have read the fine print which didn't mention lettuce but how can you call something a salad that doesn't have any kind of green leaves? I have been coming here a few times a year for various events but the place just doesn't seem to have any sort of a niche...yeah they have beer but I could get that down the street at any pub. They don't even bother putting ice in their water coolers anymore either.

    Grabbed dinner at Hugh O'Connors before heading to a comedy show at Improv…read more Hands down the best stew I've ever had. Every piece of beef was tender. The flavor was amazing. Truly a dish I'll remember forever. Highly recommend. My husband had the fish and chips. Forgot to get a picture of his. For dessert we had the bread pudding. It was delicious. Looking forward to going back. They got busy, but the staff were great.

So many memories here from watching the World…read moreCup finals with a packed house to catching Champions League on a random afternoon, to the weekend Liverpool watch parties... Always a good crowd for match days. They've got a solid beer selection on tap and a great whiskey list too.. Great location in the MarQ, you can start or end the night here after catching a movie or dinner nearby. Classic pub food on the menu like Shepherd's pie, Burgers, or Fish n'Chips (one of my favorites here). Appetizers like wings and fried pickles are solid too. Service has always been fairly consistent. Bathroom is small, so keep that in mind. It's not a huge place and the booths and tables fill up fast when it's busy. (They do have a small outdoor patio which helps.) St. Patty's day can be pretty fun here too (check the calendar for events) They also have happy hour and daily specials, definitely worth checking out!
