The drinks are good, the food is good, and you're definitely getting your bang for your buck! It was bussin in there, but the service was still pretty quick. They have lots of space inside and out, so it's the perfect place to chill on a patio during summer nights or hang inside and even play some darts!

This place has a lot of potential. We came after an on campus visit and they were super busy and…read moreshort staffed. Service was super slow but the staff was friendly. The food had great taste but was not hot at all. Barely lukewarm at best which may have been due to the staffing issues. I'd say it's between 3 or 4 stars. We liked the drinks too.

Came here after dinner nearby and what a gem of a spot. The decor and ambiance gives you that old…read moreworld charm with dim lighting and folks enjoying conversations. Forewarning, if you are someone who doesn't like cigar smoke, this won't be the spot for you. There are some nice lounge type seating in the back to relax with a cocktail while smoking your cigar of choice. While I'm not one to partake in cigars all that often, I can appreciate them on a special occasion. I can't speak to that experience here as I came strictly for cocktails and to enjoy the outdoor patio as the weather was fantastic. I'll also say that with how busy it was, it was a bit loud inside, but nothing out of the ordinary of a busy crowd. Let's jump in. Service - 5* Immediately upon entering and approaching the bar, I was greeted with a friendly acknowledgement and asked what I was looking for. I had an idea but was curious to see their menu. After placing an order, the drinks came out quite quick as they have a good balance of bartenders, I believe three were behind the counter so running drinks to tables and getting them seemed to flow well. Overall, the bartenders are attentive and the wait time for a drink isn't terrible at all. Cocktails - 4* The cocktails themselves are very typical classics. Their spirit selection is robust and definitely worth a look if you're seeking a clean, straight spirit to sip. All solid choices and there's a range for what taste profile you're wanting to have. As for execution and delivery, I didn't find the cocktails to be amazing by any means, but for the pricing, we were quite happy. Pricing - 5* I think with where prices have trended this place is keeping it consumer friendly and delivering. Overall - 4.5* I'd come back, I found the cocktails selection, spirit options, ambiance and patio seating options, and service to all land. If you're ever in the downtown Bryan area, I highly recommend stopping by here!

We were looking for a nice place to go before dinner for a couple of drinks. West End has a great…read moreatmosphere with dark paneling and an old school ambiance. But more importantly they serve excellent cocktails! They have over 100 different cocktails and from what I could judge from the couple that I had, they must all be excellent. I started out with a caipirinha which just how I like it - not too sweet. My next drink was a pisco sour. It too was excellent and both were super-refreshing! But the kicker for me was that they have cigar smoking section. Since it's not a cigar lounge, they have a tiny cabinet humidor, but their policy is that as long as you drink you can smoke your own cigars. I came prepared with my own cigars and that made the experience that much more enjoyable. Next time I'm in town, this will definitely be a stop! Finally, they have a sister lounge that is a speakeasy that doesn't even have a name. We went to the speakeasy after dinner and the drinks there were also excellent. If you go to West End, ask them about the speakeasy!

We dove right in and decided to stop by without lots of context. First of all, I love this place. It's chill, lots of good beer, and has some good open seating. It's an ice house, folks. The beer selection was pretty good with a mix of local/regional craft beers in cans alongside national micro-craft beers from CO, OR, and NM. Great atmosphere if you're just looking to get out of the house. It seemed like they had a few snacks but didn't have too much In terms of food selection. With this place on our list of go-to's, I can safely say Bryan is growing on us!

My wife ordered a burger and devoured it without a single word. This is how I know she truly enjoyed it. I went for two tacos (they run about $6 bucks each) including the Pulled Hammy and the Mama Migas. Both were packed with flavor and spicy enough to keep me on my toes. Service was on point. Our waitress hustled even though it was a chill lunch crowd. The bar itself has this cozy (not wide) historic downtown vibe with brick and wood and all the kind of stuff you see in those hip Austin places people brag about. This is why you give everyone a 2nd chance. We'll be back!

Now the drinks here are not the strongest, although they do two drinks well, which are the Manhattan and a Old Fashioned. But most cocktails are pretty weak. They do have a nice selection of beer and I suggest drinking a SnakeBite which is Guiness mixed with a cider. The restraunt next door is connected and serves food to the bar as well. I haven't tried the food, as I am a pescatarian and haven't seen anything that interest me on the menu. Its German food I think.

I…read morestrolled into the well-packed distillery, down a very nicely kept downtown type of area, and upon rolling to the back looking around, an employee noticed me and asked if I was with the wedding party. I'm in a powered wheelchair and the employee, Bobby, was nice enough to take me up a classy freight elevator to the second floor, where the reception was being held. It was a nice area, furnished with a lot of wood and lights. The reception had set up a nice buffet, and 200 drink tokens had been set aside for guests, although by the time I got there they had been used up. My girlfriend and I got a gin & tonic, and a vodka tonic, for about 11$ each, with both the gin, vodka, and tonics being brewed in house. They were very tasty, although maybe not 11$-tasty. Overall it was a lovely location for a wedding reception, the staff were helpful and friendly, and the drinks were good if just a tad pricey.

The bartenders are so knowledgeable they can walk you through the entire menu. They will let you do a little tastings. The distillery also does tours during the day, but I guarantee you the bartenders here can help you find a drink that you will like and they will also walk you through mock tails if you are alcohol free. Endless amounts of seating are available for large groups, small groups. This is so perfect for a birthday party graduation date night a fun thing to do during the day if you're going to take a tour. The cocktails are seasonal with such fun names. This is such a cool gem, so glad I got to visit.
