    So I was just there . Never again will I be back . I was here visiting for work . Definitely will find another spot to go to fukn trash as place . Apparently bartender got mad cause I ask for a new pizza cause mine was burnt black . I ask politely to get another one . Then she said she can't serve me again cause I had 4 doubles lmao I had 3 doubles that wasn't even a double and 1 Modelo . After I told them I'm good and didn't want the pizza they still charged me for the burnt ass pizza . I also still gave a tip . Fuk this place and Texas , GO DAWGZ . Wish I could show my receipt where I only had 3 weak ass shots .

    Blue is the greatest bartender hands down. Very sweet and personable with a great memory. Have gone a few times and will definitely return.

    Heck with it I'm giving them 5 stars. No matter I been gone from Houston for a week or a year, the bartenders always say hey Summer you want a yellow rose. They treat me like a diamond here. I've sat around with the owner, the security guys, the manager and chopped it up I don't know how many times. Bartenders are great at what they do. Used to be free buffet food but Covid. They still give these spicy As* crackers that go good with my Lone pint yellow rose. Bomb ass jukebox but good luck trying to get your song played. The patrons play a good amount of country and I mean alot. Clean ladies room with a small jukebox that plays the large jukebox music in the restroom. More often than not I come in solo but end up sitting with some friendly patrons. The food truck is awesome. Just try it! As Toby Keith says( maybe its him) I love this bar.

    Great experience! Small little hangout with country music, a LOT of tvs playing football and they have about 6 beers on tap- craft, too! The bartender was super friendly when we walked in- I felt like we knew him! I can see why this place gets packed. Nothing flashy, but everything you need. The bartender informed us for the Texans game they would have free munchies that we were more than welcome to have. They definitely have people skills here- which to me is everything, even if you don't have the newest and best building.

    It's miller time!

    I'm in Houston for the weekend for business and being a bar manager in another town this place has really blown me away. First walked in happily greeted by the owner, found out his name was kelly later on, asked me what I wanted and I received it right away. The beer was extremely cold and the shot I ordered was made properly. He conversed with myself and many other bar guests as they were his best friend, but in a very genuine manner. Touchtunes music so you can play your own music with house music playing in between. The bathrooms were extremely clean. This is the perfect bar for a beer after a long day with great conversation. Happy hour from 4-7 saving you some change! Extremely happy with this bar definitely something everyone needs to check out at some point! Thanks red river and kelly for the great time!

    Cannot handle a crowd. Will crowd people in, but not necessarily serve them. This place needs barbecue or music to justify the biker vibe.

The ambiance was great for the holiday they had themed drinks and specials going on, which added a fun touch and made it feel festive without being chaotic. Definitely a solid spot if you're looking for somewhere social but still comfortable. The drinks were good, and overall the vibe was on point. It felt like a place you could hang out for a while, whether you're there to celebrate something or just have a few drinks with friends. One thing to note is they don't serve food, I did hear they rotate food trucks at times, but none were there when we went which was a bit of a downside, but they did allow us to bring in outside food, which honestly made up for it and gave us more options. Parking wasn't too bad when we went, and since it wasn't super packed, everything felt smooth and easy. Overall, great vibes, good drinks, and a fun place. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for a casual hangout or social night out.

Real people playing real soccer while you sip your drink. Games everywhere too: pinball, basketball, Jenga on the tables... a whole adult playground. And the food?

The team helped us plan and advised on every detail, from setup to timing, and the prices were incredibly reasonable for the value. The food options were wonderful (and absolutely delicious!), and they even provided a separate area for our team to store belongings and gather between activities. It still felt connected to the main space thanks to the open layout and windows, which was perfect. The venue itself is huge and full of energy--tons of fun arcade games, cornhole, a soccer field, and plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy. The staff was by far the best part--so friendly and accommodating, and they made some fantastic drinks (including mocktails that looked great and let me stay sharp during a work event!). If I lived nearby, this would absolutely be my regular hangout spot. Highly recommend for both corporate events and casual get-togethers! Thanks, Megan, Gus, & Team!
