With the multiple screens for all things sports or the ax throwing lanes if you need to get some rage out. There is food of all kinds but I'd believe the kitchen closes at 9pm. They do offer brunch on Sundays with a make your own Bloody Mary bar, with fixins of your choosing. It's a top place for us to hang with friends or just get out for a little. No need to dress up, it's a casual place. There is also a side room to rent for parties or showers of all sorts. Great all around place to hang and get some good drinks.

I have had burgers all over this country. I think this is a top burger that I've had this year. The…read moreburger was seasoned to perfection. I was worried that it would be too salty but it was not. An absolute balanced season burger that was smashed between two delicious buns. The fries that came with the burger had to have been fried in beef tallow. The side of fries were phenomenal just by themselves. You don't even need ketchup for these! I was absolutely blown away by how crispy they were while maintaining that perfect potato fluffiness on the inside. I try to order fries no matter where I go just to see how they throw down in that fryer. These are hands down the best fries I've had in 2025.. maybe even for the last 5 years. I can not think of a better fry and now I'm sad that I will be going back to San Francisco seeking a fry that comes close. I also want to commend the exceptional service I received here at Avenue Axe. The bartender was so sweet and friendly for taking care of us that late into the night. I will 200000% be back with a much larger party and can not wait for the next bite of that smash burger + fries. Lastly I want to commend the owners of this business for how nicely setup everything is. This is the epitome of what I want in a sports bar. 10 out of 10 and I hope you guys are blessed with way more customers.

Riverside is a good dive bar that caters to the local refinery and dock workers. This bar is such a…read moreno frills local hangout that despite being open for decades it didn't have a single review on here until now. Personally, I'm a fan of small time local watering holes and I found myself at home here, engulfed in the smell of cigarettes, downing a few cold longnecks as I made company with the regulars. Yes, there are pool tables, Foosball, tvs, a touch tunes jukebox and the likes but this is a blue collar bar that functions as a place to unwind after a long day. It's a dive, and a rather enjoyable one at that. Next time I'm in town I'll be back around.

So go and have a cold one with Shawn Maaden.

From the owner: A friendly neighborhood ice house "Where everybody knows your name" (Well, at least your face. We…read morewill get your name soon enough). We sell Beer and Wine Only. Beer is just above freezing. We do sell setups if you would like to bring your own Liquor. Drafts include: Stella Artois, Blue Moon, Dos Equis, Miller Lite, and Bud Light. We have 2 pool tables, a Golden Tee, free Wifi, and Jukebox. Our pool tables are extremely well cared for, and sport Simonis 860 cloth, with new Belgian Aramith Premium balls. New rails are precision torqued for consistent action, and tables are leveled with a machinist level. We have plenty of great shooters willing to teach, and one table is projected to a 65" big screen. We host some of the best Amateur Pool Players Association teams in the area, are a Beaumont Best of Billiards venue, and are always looking for new shooters. Beginners are especially in demand, since the handicap system only allows a few high skill level players per team. If you want to learn the sport, this is the place.

My experience at Locals Pub was so horrific I'm debating on whether or not to press charges…read more I understand the establishment closes at 2 & I arrived at 1:15, 45 minutes before closing. They were probably ready to go home & had a long night. I don't negate that at all. But if the door says they close at 2, I would never in a million years expect to be quite literally THROWN out of the door. Miss Jennifer, larger, older, slightly boyish lady in charge of security I assume (also have seen her in charge of the karaoke list as well), was VERY rude & quite frankly, disgusting, at the door. She informed me they were closed, even though it was 45 minutes before the posted closing time on the door. I asked to use the bathroom, at which point she put her hand on my shoulder & quite literally PUSHED me out the door. I was completely thrown off by the disgusting & abusive unprofessionalism. So, very annoyingly, I admit, I knocked on the door (calmly & collected). She opened the door & I tried expressing my discomfort of how she handled me, at which point she put BOTH of her hands on me & that is something I CANNOT understand nor feel like should be allowed. Miss Jennifer has been absolutely unprofessional & dangerous & I quite honestly hope something is done about her behavior. The establishment as a whole has been so accommodating & comforting. My experiences there have always been pleasant. Miss Jennifer is a danger to the brand.

Glad to have a pickleball spot right in the heart of the theater district…read more Pickle Mania is conveniently located next to Lyric Market, making it an easy place to play and grab food afterward. We visited on a weekday morning and they were offering $5 open play, which felt like a great deal for comfortable indoor courts. I don't play very often, but for that price and setup, it's hard to complain. They have plenty of courts, and when we went there were only a couple other groups playing, so it never felt crowded. The guy at the front desk mentioned it gets much busier after work hours, which makes sense given the downtown location. Besides pickleball, they also have a ping pong table and a couple of cornhole setups if you want to take a break between games. Snacks and drinks are available for purchase, but having the food hall right outside is definitely a plus if you want more substantial food options afterward. Parking options include garage parking ($6 for the first two hours) or nearby street parking. Overall, a great addition to downtown Houston and a convenient spot for people living in downtown or surrounding neighborhoods.

Pickle Mania is the latest pickleball spot to open in downtown Houston! I had went to their grand…read moreopening last Wed and now this week on a Sunday, and both times were a great time! Located inside Lyric Market, Pickle Mania is a very nice facility. Super clean, lots of natural lighting from their big windows, and 7 professional level pickleball courts. I like the color contrast on their pickleball courts so it is very easy to see the kitchen line and the sidelines to see what is hit out vs in. The place is still super new so unfortunately it wasn't very crowded yet, and I think they are still figuring out their open play times. Maybe they can try using the Court Reserve app like the other pickleball spots to help set up open play easier? I had come here with a couple friends so we had a court all to ourselves which is nice, but if you're looking to play against others for open play, this place will need to gain in popularity hopefully. The only other small downside is that on courts 1 - 6, I wish there was a little more room behind the service line so you have room to really swing your paddle, the wall/fence is a little close for my liking. Otherwise, I'll be back again for sure! FYI: Downtown street parking is free on Sundays. Otherwise, you can park in the Lyric parking garage for 2 hrs free as long as you buy something from one of the food stalls. Perfect excuse to try something from one of the many food stalls or bar, enjoy!
