You have to want to eat and drink…read morewell enough to drive a little farther than is convenient--and that's already the first good sign. This isn't a shiny, soulless concept bar with Edison bulbs and a marketing team. It's a neighborhood joint that understands the fundamentals: cold beer, poured correctly; food that knows what it is; prices that don't insult you; and a staff that actually gives a damn. Let's talk beer first, because they clearly do. The draft list is deep and thoughtful--enough variety to satisfy the hop-chasers, the lager loyalists, and the folks who just want something cold and honest after a long day. And yes, they know how to pour a proper Guinness. Settle time. Correct head. No shortcuts. That alone tells you everything you need to know about their priorities. The menu doesn't try to reinvent the wheel or lecture you about provenance. It's bar food done with intention. The street tacos are the kind you order expecting "good enough" and end up wishing you'd ordered two more. Balanced, flavorful, no unnecessary nonsense. The fried cod special? Exactly what it should be--hot, crisp, flaky inside, and served without ego. Comfort food that respects the eater. Prices are fair. Refreshingly fair. The kind of prices that make you relax, order another round, maybe stay longer than planned. That's not an accident--it's hospitality. This is the kind of place that reminds you why local bars matter. Why it's worth skipping the chain down the road and driving a little further for something real. 2 Ways Draught & Kitchen isn't trying to be famous. It's just trying to be good. And that's why it is. Go thirsty. Go hungry. And don't rush it.

Why 4 stars? Because it's a bit more pub than gastro, but still enjoyable…read more --- --- --- I was coming down to visit family and looking for a place for all of us to eat. I thought I'd picked a gem from my bookmarks, but decided to take a look outside of my bookmarks to see if anything new had popped onto my radar. *Record scratch* a place with 4.9 stars has appeared?? Change of plans. There are probably 40+ beer taps in here and a menu with many typical classics that you'd find at a sports bar type of establishment. I went with some beef tacos. I heard the server tell my brother she recommends the al pastor, and in hindsight, I should have taken that rec. My beef tacos were fine, but the al pastor I traded with my brother, really hit the spot. I did enjoy a blueberry wheat beer from a Galveston brewer and saw several other appealing beer options on the menu. If I were to return, I'd probably go for a beer rather than the food, which was fine, but received mixed feedback from our large party.

The cheese curds were very good as well. Struggles: Everything but the curds took forever to receive. The red snapper was very overcooked and rubbery which was sad because it was a pretty piece of fish. The burger patty was extremely dry and the Mac n cheese was gloopy. Borderline: the key lime pie (which also took forever to receive) was ok except for the blackberry (?) compote on top that tasted like nothing. The drive was kind of far for us and I didn't experience anything that would make me drive that far back.

The staff are attentive and kind. Every dish they make is homemade, straight from the kitchen. Their stone oven pizza is some of the best pizza I've ever had. Rotolo's even serves different kinds of cheese sticks. This place is ideal for large family gatherings. It's no wonder Rotolo's Craft & Crust has been around for 30 years. Downsides: Menu prices are expensive, even if it's just a party of two. There's no 'make your own pizza' option at Rotolo's Craft & Crust.

Right under my nose, minutes from my house in South Houston. This is what happens when you think…read moreyou're to good for the hood. CHUTZPA! It could be defined as a dive bar, but we have had and have many of those in South Houston. People have always driven into this small city for night scene, remember the clubs: Hallaballoos and Rockys? Now-a-days we have many other places where locals hang out. The eclectic indoor area is spacious, they have a stage, and pool tables. The outdoors in front has a small raspa eatery feel to it, but a bigger, relaxed, and more gentrified area in the back. Are you a homebody? If you're a gamer or "I don't like people" type, then no worries come pick up your drinks to-go via the drive thru. They have a heavy hand. The menu has everything that tickles MY alcoholic fancy. Mixed drinks, Jello shots, stiff drinks. I felt like I was in EADO, come on my peeps, you'll enjoy this out of the way, yet in the way bar (club in our small town). I can really chill at this spot frequently and I don't say that about any spot!

They just started their draft Hofbrau Oktoberfest yesterday, and it was perfect. We ordered the sausage sampler, the meatball appetizer with the red cabbage, and the chicken schnitzel with jagersaus. We would come back for the schnitzel with jagersaus and red cabbage. We went to Germany earlier this year, and this reminded us of some of the great food we had there. Compared to other bier gartens or bars at the same price point, this place really delivers.

Came to Watershed for a Saturday funday and unfortunately had a really disappointing experience. I…read moreordered a High Noon, poured it over ice, and after taking a few sips noticed a yellow residue ring inside the glass along with lipstick still left on the rim. Clearly the glass had not been properly cleaned. I brought it to the bartender's attention and while she offered to remake the drink, there was no apology beyond that, no refund offer, and honestly no sense of urgency or concern about serving a dirty glass. By that point, I was completely put off and declined the replacement. I understand mistakes happen, but cleanliness at a bar should be the bare minimum, especially when it comes to drinkware. Unfortunately, this experience ruined the visit for me and I won't be returning.

In terms of food, you need to try the Ham and Brie Crossiant, Prosuitto and Fig Panino, Meat and Cheese Board, and the Breakfast Tacos, they are all great choices!

After some research, it sounded like it was located in the Italian restaurant nearby. We walked in the Italian restaurant around 10p, and the employees were cleaning from dinner.

It seemed like nobody knew of the speakeasy that was supposedly located in the restaurant. Just save your time and hit the spots downtown. Pretty disappointing.
