    First time coming to Neil's Bahr and I must say it was a really cool spot. It was a Tuesday so it wasn't packed which gave me a chance to enjoy the experience. At the bar there wasn't really a menu and I wasn't offered one so I just stuck with beer. They have a bunch of racks with classic comic books and areas with tv's with Nintendo 64's and other game consoles. They had a room with a ping pong table which was a great activity if you are here on a date. Overall very laid back and a great place to have a drink.

    At #neilsbahr glancing around at the paintings of ricks face (from #rickandmorty ) I knew I was home. This is one of the best #bars in Houston, in my opinion. Solely based off the atmosphere and the unlimited games you could spend an eternity here and never get bored. It's a magical place to bring friends or even meet new ones where you can bond over comic books or get severely agitated in an intense game of ping pong. Without a doubt this is a place that everyone needs to visit. IG: @hiddenfoodgems

    Amamzing place for a great time! Celebrated a friends bday here on Saturday and had an amazing time!

    After Neil identified himself as the black shirt gentleman and said apologies are not accepted. He will have his men beat "our ass up".

    ***WELCOME TO NEILS FINEST*** I had a business trip in Houston and was thrilled to find a bar with ping-pong and arcade games! First time coming to this bar it was a great experience, next day I went to this bar it escalated to the worst experience I've had in Texas. Owner of the bar didn't take any of his customer service rules into affect. He took the words of his bartender and immediately rounded his employees up to intimidate me with the classic "Get going or we will fuck you up". I thought the situation was extremely unprofessional and unnecessary to approach the customer in such a manner. I Understand bars deal with intoxicated customers all the time, but I was coherent, needed a beer, and sincerely apologized about dropping a glass from my hotel in their parking lot. I'm not sure what's more embarrassing, me bitching about being kicked out of a dive bar, or the owner rounding up his boys to deliver a "cobra kai" threat to kick my ass if I don't leave immediately. I guess this is what they mean by don't mess with Texas, or else he will get 10 more hands to put me down, thus proving their testosterone levels are Superior to mine. As a tourist I thought ping pong here would be fun for me and my employees visiting. I was wrong. Very unprofessional and poor business ownership. Any locals reading this review, this is an easy bar to cash a lawsuit with; take some aspirin, Stay sober, catch a shiner from his bad ass crew and get a decent pay out from Neil's pocket. (Not legal advice, just a tip from my previous experience)

They do have a clearance/on sale section but I didn't really browse it. Overall, if you are looking for any comics, this place is the place for you.

From the outside, it's a little more polished--not exactly the scrappy dive bar exterior we grew up with--but don't let that fool you. Step inside, and it's like nothing ever changed (in the best possible way). The vibe is still unapologetically nerdy and nostalgic: old video games, comic books everywhere, tournament setups, and three custom arcade cabinets that are worth the trip alone. No pingpong room though... Even the bathrooms are keeping the tradition alive--patrons have already started tagging them up, just like the OG location. It's that kind of beautiful chaos that makes Neil's special. The crowd? Same eclectic, welcoming, slightly-chaotic energy. Whether you're there for a trivia night, a game tournament, or just to grab a drink and button-mash for a while, it still feels like the right place to be.
