What a fun time!…read more This is a cool bar - they have a huge menu of "girly drinks" so hurray for that! Extremely loud live band on the night I went (can be a plus or a minus depending on your point view) The biggest feature, of course, are the swings. No kidding! Huge porch swings, decorated with garlands of plastic flowers. They're a little challenging to get in and out of (do they function as a drunk trap for over-served patrons?) It's definitely a unique and memorable aspect to this place.

Was not a huge fan of this place. Upon entry, I had low expectations, but I still thought I'd get…read moresome decent drinks. As I sat at the bar, I watched drinks being made and immediately decided I'd be ordering a beer. There wasn't much of a selection to choose from, but that was the safest option for me. I don't think I'll be visiting this bar again, but although I didn't enjoy it, it wasn't horrible.

Really glad I discovered this place somewhat by accident. I've stopped here twice, and intend to…read moremake it a traditional detour moving forward. It's usually quiet, which translates to even better service. There's a solid selection of liquor available. Although smoking is allowed, it's not smoky. The bartenders have always been very attentive. Don't forget to take a beer coozie.

After all, what's not to love about good company, smooth whiskey, and the coldest beers in Texas? At our laid-back country saloon, we've got whatever libation you need, plus pool tables, darts, horseshoes, a dancefloor, and plenty of warm hospitality to keep the good times rolling from day until night. Stop by, belly up to the bar, and come see us sometime -- we'll always have a cold one at the ready at Oakley's Lumberyard Bar.

It is much more intimate and cozy than the hall (and also less bright lol). When I came in, the bartender, Christopher, was polite and professional, gave me the obligatory carding, and gave me a small taste of a beer I was interested in. I ordered it and went to grab my ramen, returning to a kinda crowded spot, nice cold beer already served. I let him know I was going to shift down the bar, moving my bowl first, then returning for my coat and purse. By the time I got back, there were napkins and a fork just for me, kindly and quietly placed. As a single diner, these little touches mean a lot and create a welcome and warm vibe. Even when I was done, he took my bowl too! Again, a single lady feeling special (granted it wasn't slammed so he could spare the time on me) is a big deal! My experience was pleasant and chill, with a nice convo with Christopher in his down time. There was a sketchy guy around and he kept completely cool while staff walked him out. Everything went without a hitch and it was a 10/10 for a first impression. Definitely coming back!
