Honestly, the reviews I'm seeing about Ron's pub are nausiating, as some of them go back 15 years! Trust me, the ownership of this pub changed mid 2025, and has been transformed since then. The customer base has more than doubled in that time. That should tell you far more than negative reviews I've seen posted of late, and I've been going to Ron's Pub since 2012. I'm convinced some folk delight in rubishing this pub purely for click bait. The list of beers is awesome and the prices are in keeping with other places locally. The restrooms are new and clean. What's not to like! read more

Used to be a regular for years, now they have new owners and it's double the price... why make it fancy? There used to be 2 sides, but now it's loud as hell and you can't have a conversation and why is it so well lit??? Turn the lights down. Sigh... miss the old Ron's read more

Great industry bar Good drinks and attentive service! Great Ambiance for a cocktail. Cheers

Ron's Pub has just gotten a new face lift!! Come Check out their new modern digs! I believe Ron's was established back in 1987 so I much needed update has finally come! It's a local bar in the area and has the feels of a Cheers! Super friendly staff there! They typically have Pizza but currently due to the upgrades they're temporarily put that on hold but not to worry! They have Cliffs Hamburgers next door and they kindly deliver next door! Super good burgers and Frito Pie! I highly recommend this bar if you like shooting darts this is the place to be!! read more

Ron's Pub - Houston (that's the Barkeeps name) pots a proper Black & Tan! - Sports Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

The bartender Josh has an issue with women. I've heard him walk up to a women and AGGRESSIVELY kick her out, and the lady next to me commented how over the line that was. He was inches from her face. unacceptable! He needs to be fired. Now that there are new owners the place is being renovated and I used the women's bathroom which they turned into unisex bathrooms and there was urine on the floor, it's disgusting. Won't be back! Josh is a total dick and I'm not going to use a bathroom with garbage on the floor and urine on the seat. NASTY!!! I gave it 1 star because of Mathew and Jacki who are great. read more

Was five stars, but is now likely going to one star. This is one of the few true "neighborhood bars" that exist in this part of Houston. Pizza is elite and service is exactly what you'd expect out of a local watering hole. However, the new owners are apparently renovating and turning it into a "higher class" establishment, which does nothing for the working class patrons that have kept this a Fountain View staple for years. If it ain't broke, don't fix it....and Ron's Pub certainly ain't broke! read more

Nice bar but the audio is so loud at the bar that you can't have a conversation. Totally unnecessary.

Stop letting people sniff cocaine on the patio. When I reported to security, I was told to never return to Ron's Pub again! I have never been drunk at Ron's Pub, I drink responsibly, and would NEVER do drugs! read more

The customer service here is great. Jackie, Corey and all the bartenders are awesome with great attention to detail!

Local bar in a busy corner of Houston. Good beer selection, great dartboards. Good next door!

All I can say is, I tried. I tried to give my local bar a chance. I tried to come in and have a great time and relax and have a glass of wine... I tried to spend time in my local pub just relaxing with the positivity that I usually bring. I tried to overlook the sausage fest that was going on and Take it as a positive note...I even thought to myself, "wow, there sure are a lot of guys here...nice." I tried to enjoy my glass of Chardonnay and the atmosphere. I tried to ignore the misogynistic comments from a couple of men who approached me...After all, I was a stranger to them. The bartenders were very nice to me, Until... I went to the ladies room and walked in on a fight!! I reported it to the staff and they told me I was lying. The people fighting came out of the lady's room (They were men) ...They denied fighting to the staff. #TheRealLiars I tried to ignore the broken glass on the ladies room floor from the fight ...but it was still there...So once again I reported it. I tried to ignore the negative comments and mistreatment from one of the bartenders when I reported there was debris in the lady's room from the "fight"...He said " the fight that didn't happen? Just pay your tab and leave lady" I then asked, "Why should I leave? I haven't done anything " I continued to sit there and watch TV and sip... I watched the crowd...specifically, the people who were fighting. They were still arguing, but, they took it outside...yay I called my Uber and Made a conscious decision never to return. #Sigh read more

---Dearest Reader, I've got friends in low places, where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away, and I'll be okay...as long as I'm at Ron's Pub. If you're looking for a gastro pub or a fancy mixology bar, this is not for you. If you're looking for good company and a good crowd with an even better staff (management to behind the bar), this is the spot for you. If you're put off by darts, golden tee, regulars and a retro vibe, this is not for you. If you're made uncomfortable by any of this, not for you. However, if you're willing to embrace and become part of a tight knit and welcoming group of regular patrons, Ron's is the place for you. There are so many welcoming, unique, eclectic but genuine patrons that frequent this watering hole (including myself) that make it a hidden treasure amongst the Houston bar scene. ---Bottoms up read more

Ron's Pub - Sports Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

I really enjoyed this pub. My friend and I came in late after wanting to check out the spot on a random weekday. The good think they are located in a plaza with plenty of parking. The location is right next to Cliffs burgers and across the street from a HEB. The only down fall about this place is they don't serve food but they do allow you to bring in food. I also went to Cliffs burger next door and the delivered to me in the pub. This place allows smoking on the patio and they have a wide range of beers on tap. I felt the drink prices were very affordable and the crowd is neighborhood relaxed. Overall I would definitely come back it a low key dive bar. Definitely worth stopping by if your in the area. read more

I hate to be the oddball yelper and had been the one to receive less than stellar experience but I cannot explain why and what happened. Came here on a Thursday night with a fem friend and did not know what to expect. I envisioned it as a semi quiet place but boy was I way off. Besides the what seemed college frat crowd in the 2nd part of the bar in the back that could be heard loud and clear with their cheers the music in the first part would have one almost having to talk at an uncomfortable decibel or cup your hand and speak to someone's ears. If you like semi loud to little loud then here is your place. Strike 1. Got to the bar part and was not sure what we wanted I asked my friend what was her poison, she felt like a draft so we took a small moment to view the somewhat dozen draft beers offered. She had the Heineken which she said was nice and cold while I felt like a Guinness (draft). I think there might have been a problem with the line because the 1" head of beer that I got turned into more than 3/4 of the glass or more like 6 inches of it. See photo to see what I am talking about and how this was served to me. I must have had 50 Guinnesses in my life and have never been served anything more than 2 inches from the top, is this the new in? No worries, wait 3 minutes for suds to go down and play catch up with your partner. Strike 2 Bartender.... I hope this was not "Ron" but this had to have been the most stoic bartender that I have EVER run upon in my life. Remember the look of the soup Nazi in "that" sitcom everybody knows about? Well I found out where he works now, at least for this particular night. We felt as if we were doing a disservice to here by trying out a place that I heard a lot of good things about. I conferred with my friend about this and she agreed that it seemed as maybe we didn't belong in "the neighborhood" bar where everybody else knows someone else. Strike 3 As far as some of the reviewers saying it was a sausage fest here I felt there was a fair amount of females here to negate that for that night. I think we counted at least 8 including my friend in contrast to the about 30 males here. Also be prepared to pay about $11.50 just for two draft beers, I forgot the price of my somewhat favorite Richmond Arms Pub but at least you get some semi smiling female bartenders to tend to you. Like I said, I know I am going against the grain and I really did want this to be at least a 4 star experience since it's a block away from work but I think I'll pass up 20 bars/pubs to get at least one decent experience at any place. Mouldoon's Patio was our friend that night (semi quiet). Hate me if you will and I probably will get a lot of hate messages but rest assured you will be ignored. I have a right just to my opinion on my experience and I know you probably didn't like it if your a regular Ron's Pub crowd. Forgive me Ron, nothing personal. read more

See all

Has been a local neighborhood gem for years. Nice beer selection along with a full bar. Informal atmosphere, perfect for after work. Front and rear patios with TV's and smoking allowed. Nice English pub vibes. You must try their pizza!!! Delicious :) they serve it til 1 AM. read more

Ron's was a nice environment for St Patty's Day. They had $5 Guinness and free stew for early patrons! Plenty of patio space to walk, talk, and visit with friends. They had quite a few TVs to watch March Madness games too. I probably wouldn't come back for awhile though because the crowd was (generally) 35 and up, and I felt a bit out of place. Overall, it's a good neighborhood dive bar with reasonably priced drinks. read more

I liked this place a lot. Very nice bartenders, decent drinks and lots of options to bring your own food in. Also excellent Wifi. Question: Is this business still open? There is another business listed at the same address. Some Korean BBQ. read more

This place is a gem. Definitely an authentic pub experience with people who are actually people and not a bunch of pretentious knuckleheads. Plays good music from classic rock to hip-hop. If you get the opportunity I recommend you ask for Moriah as she has quite the balancing act and won't leave you hanging for long. Jeremy is also cool too! All in all you get college crowd to old timey Houstonians who love to reminisce about the good old days and everyone in between! So if you are a transient there are many social etiquettes to emulate in order to assimilate to the culture (this IS the culture to aspire to be). They also have dart boards and clean bathrooms (always a plus!) and television always pumping Houston sports!! (Which btw we are f***ing awesome at.) At the end of the day, this is your place to play (or should be) unless you are not in the know! I love you, Moriah!!!!!!!! read more

We've been here a couple times now. I've loved both times. Good service and the people who come here are also nice! We're thinking of moving to the neighborhood...this is an awesome neighborhood and we would love to live here! read more

Wow. There are a lot of dudes here. Of all ages, shapes and sizes. Too bad they're all facing the dart boards. Service was good, considering we were planted right infront of the bar. A few TVs showing sports, another with CNN and a small one with trivia. On a weekend parking in the strip center is tight, but luck have it I always find a good spot. Clean restrooms, mixed crowd, two bar areas, patio, carpeted floor inside (err, strange for a bar), lots of seating. Will I come back? Maybe ... if in the area ... or not. read more

Awesome place that's been a staple in Houston for years!! Came here on Tuesday night and left my expensive portable charger. Came the following Thursday night and it was still here!! Good peeps here!! read more

Ron's Pub - Sports Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

A neighborhood bar that leans heavily to regulars. Different nights bring different crowds and decibal levels. Some nights are dart league tourney nights, some nights are watch the big game nights, and others are quietly sitting around muttering to your beer kind of crowds. Just depends on the luck of the draw. Service is friendly enough when it isn't crazy busy. Crowd is usually 5:1 men to women ratio. Like I said before, the majority of the people drinking here on any given day know about 90% of the other patrons by first name. Come here enough and you'll be added to that crowd easy enough because they seem to run the gambit of age race shape etc. Good for a beer in the neighborhood when the urge arises and plenty of room to find a spot to sit and chat. read more

Perhaps I was a bit harsh in my original review. Everything I said about the crowd was true that night but the second time I came there, I was at the bar area (near the dart boards) and the bartender was cool as hell and while I still had to watch out for flying darts, it was a fun and relaxing atmosphere. Bonus points, I noticed that they actually have a bar dishwashing machine type thing and with the flu season coming up, that's a very cool thing since a lot of bars just dip their glasses in dirty bleach water and dirty water and call it clean. read more

We came on Saturday to have a chill evening and play darts but it did not happen. After we sat at the bar to get drinks we got hit by 3 different older men looking for 'fun' in a very rude way. After we got our turn to play darts, the same men were harassing us while we played the game. We run out of there. Very bad experience. That was not a place for us. We are both married and wanted just to have a good time. Giving 3 stars only for the service, bartender was good. Drinks are ere fine as well. Would not recommend this bar to anyone younger than 50. read more

Sweet spot near my apartment that my co workers like to come and drink at. They have plenty of dart boards not sure if that's how you refer to them but I mean it was a pretty serious game of darts when I arrived. The bartender was very nice I think her name was Shanna? I remember she said she's also a teacher but really enjoys working there. I definitely found a low key spot to come catch a game and have some drinks. They also have patio seating for those who smoke or would like to be outside. read more

I really enjoyed it here. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but if you enjoy playing darts or a more casual dive-bar type feel this is your place. There is a decent amount of seating in the 2 rooms - a front room and a back room that has 4 dartboards lined up with great lighting. They have a decent amount of beers and I really enjoyed their draft selection. I haven't seen Sierra Nevada on draft before! Only complaint is that in the back room there is a door open to a patio where a lot of people smoke. Although the bar itself is non-smoking a lot of the smoke does filter in. This was especially an issue for someone in my group with asthma. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in the Galleria area and want to have a casual experience. read more

There are some really good bartenders at Ron's pub. However, it wasn't a bartender that stood out to me tonight. It was Mike, who was a bar back but, he was the type of guy, you just looked at, and you want to walk up to and start a conversation. Because he had a friendly face, that made you want to be more friendly you know? If you are trying to learn how to get on the dart League, you should ask for Mike. He will help you out and give you pointers. Because that's the type of people who work at Ron's pub generous, outgoing, hard-working. read more

I'm indifferent towards this bar. The drinks are cheap ($4.75 Oktoberfest and $4 whiskey shots), and they offer free food during football season. However, the crowd is so polar opposite of anything I'd ever prefer. For context, there was a man wearing a "Make America Great Again" cap. Eh.... Look, I don't want to fault this bar for its crowd. But it's just not my scene. It's a sea of middle-aged old white conservative men. BUT if that's your vibe, GO FOR IT. read more

I don't know what else to say, this is a comfy bar with some great service, and drinks. When I visit from out of town this is my goto bar! Jeremy is as good as they come in this business. read more

Really chill place, great dart place. And the barback is nicer to you than the bartender.

This is the perfect neghborhood bar. I have been there so many times, it is ridiculous. This is in my opinion the best dive bar in Houston. I have been to many dive bars, and this is by far the best one I have come across. Regulars in this bar like to play darts, they have one or two dart night a week. I don't play darts so I dont know exactly which nights are dart nights. The regulars here are very nice once they get to know you. Incredibly, they have a lot of regulars. Regulars are like real friends. I have met the nicest people at this place. Friends who I have actually kept. Their selection of beer is pretty decent, and they have the best Guinnes in town (better than the Guinnes at Richmond Arms) and their beer is always nice and cold. They have nice Super Bowl, 80's, Halloween, Saint Paddy parties and they even go as far as offering delicious BBQ for their customers. The bartenders are extremely professional and caring. They care about their customers. If you are expecting a fancy place, then this is not the place for you. If you are expecting a place with very nice eclectic crowd, then this is the place for you. Restrooms are always clean and the service is fast. The only thing is the fact that they don't sell food. They do have some crappy pizza if you get extremely hungry. read more
