YUM Pimlico steak night never disappoints, after you check their instagram after 5pm on Tuesday-Thursday to see if they will be hosting a steak night at Pimlico. And if you've got a bunch of cash you are looking to burn for a yummy dinner because they're cash only. And one drink purchase is required. Amazing seasoning, which they actually sell I think! The steak itself runs about $35ish If you add a half rack of lamb, double that price. If you want one side, and or sausage add $5 each. This picture here is a plate with a half portion of steak, sausage, lamb, mashed tatoes. Not pictured is the other half portion + a beer that was with my Fiancée. With tip, this ran us $95 for dinner on a Thursday. Almost a benjamin, I wouldn't say this was a good deal but it was a tasty dinner. Go elsewhere if you're looking for bang for your buck and don't have cash. read more

I never understood why Pimlico's had a crowd on weekdays or why my friend talked about a bar's steak 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. read more

I go here for the Meat Mojo steak nights! Available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. The food takes 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. read more

I went on the Tuesday with Mojo's steaks! I ordered the Steak Big Boy combo. One of the best steaks I've had for the price. It was delicious! Cash only though! Otherwise the venue is really nice! A typical Irish pub. They have the general beer brands. There is the bar inside that is centered between multiple tables. Seating is around 20-30 people. There is also outside seating in front of the restaurant and a two story porch area. Parking can get kinda tight depending on what time it is. read more

Went here to try out Meat Mojo's on a Thursday night. Great pub and the food was even better! We ordered the big fat boy and it was plenty of food to feed two people. They were kind enough to portion our food into two separate plates, as well. A bit of a wait as the food is made to order, but well worth it! Meat Mojo only accepts cash and there is an ATM inside the pub next to the ladies' restroom. I would definitely come back again if I'm craving a nice steak and lamb chops. read more

If you want a pub & not a bar head to Pimlico. I met the owners, an Irishman & his American bride. The bartenders are pleasant attentive & most of all competent. Do you want a perfect Manhattan? They can make it well. They pour a perfect Guinness and are attentive w/o being annoying. If you are local it would be a great choice & if you are from out of town it is a great local pub for rugby & football. read more

I love this Pub. The space is well-run, and the service is exceptional. It always feels great coming here and the environment is always super friendly. Pimlico hosts fun events throughout the year and their beers are always poured just right. Happy to have this place in the neighborhood. read more

This is a solid place for darts and grabbing a pint. the folks who work here are pretty friendly and it is never overly crowded. They have pizzas that are surprisingly good - thin crust. I believe the only tow options are cheese and pepperoni. Definitely a British pub vibe or as close as you will get in Houston. On a nice day, decent patio. Parking can get a bit tricky. read more

I loved the Meat Mojo Steak Night! The food was absolutely delish and super well seasoned!! Love, love, loved the steak, served with smashed cheddar and jalapeño potatoes. The fresh pineapple was super tasty with the meal! Yesss and yummy. The bar was a quaint spot, with friendly and attentive servers. I would return for steak night and other days. Really tasty drinks and a comfy place to hang out! read more

Great staff and they know how to make a great old fashioned. Next weekend gonna try the Irish breakfast! read more

Pretty good Irish bar. Our experience was marred a bit by a patron who came in pretty trashed and kept following us around. We asked the bartender not to let him keep buying rounds and giving them to us to the point where we finally hid on the upstairs patio...too much. read more

Our friends brought us here when we were visiting Houston because it's one of their old favorites and I can see why. Great Irish pub ambiance, and the most perfectly poured Guinness I've ever had outside of the Guinness HQ itself! Apologies to other patrons for all the ABBA we played on the TouchTunes jukebox. read more

Meat mojo is out here on a Thursday night! Always a favorite bar steak for me, added with great ambiance of the Irish pub, makes it a bigger hit. I normally ordered the famous rack of lambs that is always so ever tender, moist with pineapples and ninja sauce, but wanted to take it easy and enjoyed the boneless ribeye. Love the grilled marks perfectly cooked medium rare. Paired with mash potatoes and pasta salad, brings out the savory flavors. Meat mojo sauces are ever so addicted with its sweet, spicy, and tangyness that gives the steak a kick. The steak do take awhile to come out, but perfection is hard to rush read more

Love this place. Great, small or large plates of food and even better drink list. There happy hour is also the best deal in town

Visited this little hot spot on a Thursday night. Really enjoy the Irish pub atmosphere, the crowd was a variety of ages and the drinks were on point. On Tuesdays and Thursdays there is a company that grills steaks, pork chops, lamb and makes mashed potato's. It looked and smelled delicious. Bring cash as that's the only payment the cook takes. We had already eaten a late lunch but will definitely be returning to try some of that food! Will update with the results!! read more

Very solid Irish pub! Came here for the first time a month ago and now have been here a couple of times! Ambiance is chill, service is quick since not super packed when we go. There are darts and usually the Astros game is on! read more

One bad ass Irish pub. Only here for St Patrick's day and the place was packed, drinks were flowing, a live band played, and met some nice people. The atmosphere is as friendly as the leprechaun with an efficient staff pumping out drinks. Didn't get to try their food but the menu looks delicious based on what I've seen. Look forward to a return trip here to check out the rest of the place. read more

Best Irish pub in Houston by FAR! Im enjoying my Guinness on a nice Saturday thinking how can my night get any better, then they bring out free burgers for the table! Great place, vibes are immaculate. read more

While playing darts I stepped in dog sh*t. I dont know why they allow dogs in the inside of the bar, but it was disgusting. They did not tell the person to leave with their dog afterwards. Will not come back. Boring and I don't enjoy stepping in sh*t read more

This is a fantastic Irish Pub. The service and range of drinks are great. It has the perfect atmosphere, the owner and his team know how to manage a good pub. read more

Wonderful pub! They had a super friendly staff, awesome priced drinks, nice crowd! Will be back again!

This pub is in a great prime location! I stopped by for steak last night (Tuesday) for Mojo Steak Night. Mojo never disappoints which is a great addition to Pimlico. My server was quick on our drinks and efficient. Flavor was spot on when I asked her to freely mix me anything sweet. Great vibes and friendly pub! read more

I came here for an Olympic marathon watch party with a group and enjoyed my time here! The drink selection is great and the atmosphere is super laid back. The service is great.

I am giving a low-average rating to Pimlico and my whole rating is based on one less-than-great factor. I live in Louisiana and come to Houston for medical treatment. My absolute favorite Irish draft beer is Smithwicks and Pimlico has Smithwicks along with 12 other draft beers and Smithwicks sibling beers Harp and Guinness. If you don't know Smithwicks it is a dark Irish ale about 2/3 of the way from Harp to Guinness. All three beers are owned by the same company (Guinness Brewing). Anywhere I travel, I am looking for Smithwicks on tap. Pimlico has it on tap. However, Pimlico does not take care of their taps and beer lines. Any good bar should regularly wash out their beer lines with proper chemicals to clean out any build up of sourness or other substances that change and ruin the taste of the beer. I had two glasses of nicely poured Smithwicks within the past couple of days, and the beer tasted terrible. It was not the taste of Smithwicks and it was not good. It is clear that there was one of two possible problems. 1.) The keg had been tapped and had sat for weeks or months on tap and just wasn't being ordered and served. No wonder !!! or 2.) The beer lines had not been properly cleaned. There are several companies that sell beer line cleaner and it is a standard process of cleaning the lines. My bet is that the owner or bartenders just have not cleaned the beer lines in a very long time. Cleaning should be a regular process. In addition, the metal taps should be disassembled and thoroughly flushed with the same solution and the inner bore wire-brushed thoroughly with the same solution. I have my own keg cooler and my Smithwicks tastes great .... but I regularly wash the lines. My guess is that the Smithwicks tap was not their only beer forgotten and all the other lines were equally dirty but I ordered nothing else. Its a shame.... periodic cleaning is not optional, It is mandatory. I won't be back. GARY read more

I've only been here for the Monday night Trivia. There are eight rounds of questions of eight questions each including both visual and audio questions. Pretty difficult questions. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and they also had someone selling burgers outside on a Monday night. $8 gets you a burger and a bag of chips. I didn't try the burger so I can't tell you how good it is and whether or not it's cash only. They don't serve food. I came hungry not knowing this and left hungry. So come here for drinks and come here for the trivia. read more

I was going to give 3 stars because it's not really a memorable bar and it's confusing where it begins and where it ends but they do have free parking which I always appreciate and you're close to the bayou trails so if you're going for a walk and want to stop by for a drink when the weather is nice, it's not bad. I also love their ginger beer thing (Russian something) with the copper cup. I think it would help them to kind of define where one can walk with the alcohol and where one can't because it's confusing and the owner seems a bit jumpy and freaks out if he sees someone going a few feet away from the door. I'm not sure what the TABC rules are, but apparently his sidewalk is ok as he has chairs, but the other side of the sidewalk is not ok because there are no chairs, but it still is in front of the bar. Maybe put a velvet rope to define the space. Has to be velvet. read more

Great place to relax and have a drink! They have a great selection of drinks and an amazing steak night. Ask for Rachel she is the sweetest bartender! read more

I have visited this bar on 2 occasions recently to participate in their Tuesday Trivia Night. Both times I had a good time. I haven't been able to eat any of their food here due to the kitchen being closed for remodeling I believe. It has indoor and outdoor seating. The small parking lot in front is limited so street parking is very likely if you come here. I like the interior decor and bar and table service for drinks have been A-OK. I will update this review if I get to sample the food here. read more

Been at bar 2 hours. Two Guinness Pints. Average number of people. Friday after business crowd. 5..ish. Very much a bar with regulars. No one has said hello except bartenders and even they seldom check up. Definitely not a welcoming crowd if you're not cisgender. read more

What a great place. The owner, Kevin, is so hospitable. We were celebrating my husband's birthday & Kevin was happy to find a space inside accommodate a group of 9. Great selection at the bar & on tap. No, kitchen, but the pizza they had hit the spot as well. read more

Live life long enough and a few things start to become self evident. 1. TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM TREAT YOU & YOU WILL BE HAPPIER FOR IT IN THE LONG RUN 2. A POSITIVE ATTITUDE GOES A LONG WAY 3. WINE MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER {OK, maybe not that last one for some ~giggles} But seriously, I must explain the reason for this updated review in a way which should open the eyes of CURRENT service/industry folks from a former service/industry person. Your efforts, when actually put forth, goes such a long way. A glance and a genuine, "I'll be right with you" is important to most people. Not, I'M BUSY RIGHT NOW, GIMME A SEC, and then you go chit chat it up with your friends - ((CUST SVC FAIL)) - I digress... I love this bar for sooooo many reasons - Location is awesome, the jukebox, the super selection of wines and beers, the nights there's food rocks So Hard, the patio is uber sexy, it's clean and well run....omg, my fave place to refer people to when they're just in town for work and yes! I have met really interesting and brilliant people here over the last couple years. Although I don't frequent often, I'd like to continue to patronize for a very long time. That actually matters to me the most...a long time neighbor rather than a regular drop-in only until the next place lures you in. Not my style. Be well... See you later Pim. I will return smiling - as usual. #mwaaah read more
