It's actually a pretty cool place that is larger than it looks from the outside. There are numerous rooms, sitting areas, bars and places to lounge, and drink. One drawback for me was smoking which is still allowed inside, but it wasn't very strong at least. I was able to sit on the patio since it was a nice day outside. They serve hot food, which is a plus with more than typical bar food, like Shepherds Pie. Prices are reasonable, crowd is friendly, bartenders are nice. What more can you ask for?

Use to be a solid four star joint about ten years ago…read more I recently went back to ocp and Molly Maguire's on kuykendahl and was severely disappointed. 2 stars at best. Staff is cliquey, talks to each other rather than getting your order. One bartender would rather flirt with her boyfriends than close out my tab. Kayla robinson was specifically horrible at taking my order and then padding my tab. If you like an extra shot or two added to your tab, that you never drank, this is the joint. Funny thing was I would've tipped her extra if she needed the cash. Food is horrible do not eat the blue cheese burgers, they almost killed me. I'm apprehensive to how long the gree/blue cheese has been in the fridge. Also the taps taste dirty especially the Guinness tap, on top of that the makers mark always, always tasted watered down. P.s. the pool tables all need to be reworked. Amon needs to vet his people better. There were some people like John that lived for the job, then the youngsters could care less if they accidentally serve you ice they broke.

That said, if you're not a smoker, this might not be your spot--it does get pretty smoky and the inside is on the darker side.

I seriously very seldom leave reviews--positive or negative--but after reading some of the negative…read morereviews about this place, I felt like I had to throw in my two cents. This place is GREAT. The staff is awesome, the drinks are very reasonably priced, the food is excellent, and the owners actually make an effort to make sure everyone is having a good time. It has a fun atmosphere, great service, and I've genuinely enjoyed every time I've been here. Now, I do have to address a couple of these reviews... To the person who complained that the exotic game burger tasted "gamey"... GTFOH. You ordered an exotic game burger. That's kind of the point. And to the people complaining that it's "too dark" or that the menus are too hard to read... maybe get your eyes checked--or consider an early-bird special somewhere with fluorescent lighting. Seriously though, don't let a handful of ridiculous reviews scare you away. Give this place a shot and form your own opinion. Personally, I think they're doing a hell of a job.

Lately, I've noticed several reviews on Yelp and on Google - they all are by people without a profile photo - only a first name or first + initial and never any other reviews (Patricia S, Evan P, Jill P, Mike C). Peter is one of those on Google - he gave a great deal of details - mostly derogatory comments about the owners and how he "witnessed" them being abusive, condescending, etc. to employees, and their overall attitude. Well, after being a regular at The Annex for years, where owners, management, and most employees did absolutely nothing other than sit and drink and play grab ass with one another, Jess and Shannon are a refreshing welcome and the definition of "hands-on ownership." I am aware of the "group text" that Peter described and what it said it told employees is that they had a new system that required employees to do THEIR part to input info or they would not get paid. It did not threaten - it was just factual. Today, apps tend to drive payroll processes and require employees to input their own information to get paid. This sounds like either a current or former "sour grapes" employee who is not content with moving on, but has decided to the take very immature stance of getting even by trashing the establishment and its owners. Jess and Shannon have done a fantastic job at creating a beautiful and welcoming atmosphere, creating a business with systems and controls (you cannot be successful without them - i.e. The Annex), and a service-oriented and trained staff who serve the customers instead of making and doing shots (for themselves and their friends). When Oak & Iron is busy, Jess and Shannon are working right alongside their employees - delivering drinks, running food, taking orders, and closing checks. Do they run a tight ship? Yes! Are they abusive or rude to employees or customers? Not that I've ever witnessed and I'm a regular. They have created a friendly, fun, upscale atmosphere without the former riff-raff of old. If you have not been to Oak & Iron, pay attention to all the 5 Star reviews and not the few that apparently have an axe to grind, because they nothing to do with reality! Oak & Iron Sports Social provides 5 Star drinks, food, and service! Period!

What an odd experience we had here. We were doing some…read moreshopping and wanted lunch. Typical wine bar atmosphere. When we walked in we were told to sit anywhere which is fine, so we picked a table. The waiter was friendly, told us the way around the menu and advised us on wine/drink options. We are not drinkers so we ordered Diet cokes. The waiter came back around and was ready for our order, but we hadn't made a choice so we asked for a few more minutes. This is where it starts getting strange. We were chitchatting when the owner passed by our table and said something along the lines of "the table is empty", and she rushed off. A few fingers were pointed our way from the bar making us feel pretty uncomfortable. Then a random lady walked by and asked if we had seen our waiter. We told her we asked him for a few more minutes to look over the menu, she walked away. The owners were at the bar and the lady went back to them. Much more obvious finger pointing our direction... The female owner walked up to the table and asked if we were going to be eating, and we told her yes but we had asked for more time. We went ahead and placed our very simple order with her. A Cobb salad for me and a Caesar for my sister. Our waiter stopped back by the table and apologized, he had stepped out to take a phone call. He was given very bad news on the call and we told him to take his time with us, we were in no hurry. Many more glares from the bar and fingers being pointed our way... Then the food was brought out. My sisters salad was a very basic caesar, mine had a few more toppings including chicken. The chicken on mine was horrendous, it tasted like a frozen breast popped in the microwave the day before and left out over night. It was so bad I spit it into my napkin. I pushed the chicken to the side and ate the lettuce and few toppings. We got our ticket, paid and left. I don't think we will be returning. I sure hope that waiter still has a job. The staff seemed to be on his butt. When he would walk around and move a chair, someone would walk behind him and "fix" it. He never did come back to our table and I'm guessing he was pulled off for no good reason at all. It seemed like the staff had an issue with us just being there for a simple lunch and not wine. Just an odd uncomfortable situation.

A solid contender for one of the best burgers in Houston. We got the small block and split it which…read morewas plenty big, it's a half pound burger! The next size up is a full pound - egads. I'm not normally a fan of bigger sized burgers, I prefer smash burgers or smaller diner style burgers, however, this is the exception. This was good quality beef that was expertly seasoned and char-grilled, it had a perfect char, and was extremely flavorful. The bun was just so so, and it came with the usual toppings, which were all fine, but the star was absolutely the burger itself. We will be back often for it. The other star was the fried pickles, they sliced them paper thin, and there's a light coating of breading on it, which was just phenomenal, I've never had pickle chips like this. If you are a pickle lover, you will love these. Also enjoyed the onion rings, they're battered and fried in house, and you can really taste the difference. Billy, the bartender was super friendly, helpful, and attentive. As was the other bartender that came on later after him, did not catch her name. It was a nice neighborhood crowd, and mix of all ages and types of people, we felt very comfortable and welcome here. While the bourbon selection was a little lacking, they more than made up for it by the generous sized pours, and extremely reasonable drink prices. They also had several pool tables and darts, they have nights where there's free, pool and free darts, and a ton of other daily drink, specials, etc. This is a place I would feel comfortable coming to alone, or with a group of friends. The only reason I can't give it five stars is simply due to the smoke. It's a shame these northside dive bars are all fully smoking. I so wish someone would open a dive bar around here that at least had an area for non-smokers. I woke up with a sore throat this morning and could still smell the smoke on my clothes as I put them in the washer. I am super allergic to smoke, and this place was extra smoky. Next time, we will try to come when it's less crowded, maybe the smoke levels will be a little bit more tolerable. That was the only downside.
