    Good Times!
    Charlene P.

    I normally love this place. Tonight not do much. Disco fries were missing the siracho type sauce. My whiskey sour totally sucked. Shrimp tacos took forever. Where is Mike?!?!?!

    Philibuster

    Their kitchen is open late, so working late no longer means missing out on a good meal. Scotty's online menu, with its creative appetizers, was so ambitious that I was so certain the food would be amazing, and they were absolutely able to follow through. The house-made Buffalo Chicken Pimento Cheese Dip tastes like such a lucky find for bar food. So many fresh ingredients go into these dishes that I honestly felt like I discovered a treasure by walking in the first time. I've been counting on the Disco Fries--with yet again another flavorful house-made sauce--to be there after wrapping up many work projects. I thought I was content with their well-executed and reliable menu staples, but in another stroke of luck, I was able to get in on trying their "limited time" special, Chef Phillip's Philibuster. I have no idea how creative and dedicated these people must be for such an astounding dish to even exist! It wasn't enough for Chef Phillip to have a burger tucked between TWO grilled cheese sandwiches (Gouda & Mozzarella!)--which probably would have amazed me right there--but to also have a house-made tomato jam (I keep forgetting to ask if they'll make more of the jam to just sell it), more cheese on the burger (Swiss), and another house-made sauce, is shocking in such a fun and delightful way. Adding that fresh arugula so you can pretend you aren't so far off your diet that you're eating THREE sandwiches at once, just really made it an unexpected delight.

    Ciera and Stacy are amazing!!! Scotty the owner and quinten the GM came out to offer my husband and I samples of new menu items they want to put out and bought a round of shots for us. Not to mention I asked ciera to make me something fruity with vodka and she came back with this amazing creation she called a shark attack! What a cool name and the drink was delicious. Very cool and laid back spot with a good mix of music. They also do tournaments for darts and pool which I found neat to watch. Overall a very pleasant experience and everyone for sure made my husband and I regulars over there. Can't wait to go back!! The whole establishment was amazing and very welcoming.

    Eat, drink and be merry.

    Five stars hands down!!! Walk in and feel like family. The staff is awesome. There are darts, pool tables, and great music. Great selection of craft beer, alcohol and the bloody Mary is the bee's knees. The food is exceptional. The owner did a phenomenal job with the menu. The burger would have to be my all time favorite but the whole menu is absolutely amaze-balls. Awesome locals bar with delicious treats.

    Horrible food.over cooked and no flavorà
    Cedric H.

    This food is horrible! I had the sample platter,garbage! I tried this place because of the great reviews. The drinks was cool but the food was super nasty! Couldn't even eat it!

    Disco Fries - Incredible!
    Greg B.

    Disco Fries! Incredible. A bowl of thick cut fries with fresh garlic and parmesan, awesome sauce, a runny fried egg and a splash of hot sauce. Amazing texture and flavors. Grown Up Grilled Cheese! Amazing! Apple slices, bacon, gruyere, brie, and American cheese with Apricot preserves. Flavor explosion! Lots of TVs for football, friendly staff. Only drawback (4 stars instead of 5) is they allow smoking inside... no one was smoking when I was there so it was ok but the smell still lingered. Why ruin such good food with cigarette smoke killing the flavors?

    **Chicken tenders and dirty fries ** A Scotty's dish you MUST try

Free street parking, but it was a bit hard to find a spot on a Saturday night. Restrooms were also pretty clean. Most of the seats at the bar were taken so my partner had to squeeze in to order a drink, but it wasn't too difficult to get service. Service was also nice and quick each time he ordered a drink. I thought the prices were pretty good for how expensive drinks can be these days. They also have a happy hour that ends at 8pm every day and daily specials, but I forgot what they were. Maker's Mark Old Fashioned $10 Maker's Mark and Coke $8 Shiner Bock $5.25 Coors Light, Bud Light $4.50 My partner got 3 old fashioned's and thought the first one was too light, so he asked for less ice on the next one. That seemed to fix the flavor balance. There were 2 dart boards and a pool table, but I think you have to pay to play pool because there was a daily special that said free pool on Monday's. I think the darts are free though. There were a decent amount of TVs, but I think there was a sports podcast on when we went lol There were also a number of classic red leather loveseats that I think would be great for couples on dates. The patio in the back was very vibey and had a bunch of lights. There was a birthday party set up back there, so I think you can host parties there if you contact the bar. The floor was made up of wooden planks over the ground, so it wasn't unusual to see bugs on the ground outside. Not much to do about that for an outdoor patio though. There's also a comically large wooden chair that you could take a photo op in lol All in all, this is a classic dive bar that satisfies everything you want when you're in the mood to go to one.

Ambiance (3.5/5): Pretty much your typical Irish pub. Chill, lots of wood, a decent amount of TVs. The type of casual spot where you can have a good beer, talk, and watch a soccer game. Which is exactly what we did since the World Cup was going on. We sat at the bar. They also have a patio in the back, but I didn't check it out. Service (4/5): McElroy's wasn't too busy when we arrived, but service was solid. We had a beer, closed out, and we were on our way. Food (N/A): We were on a liquid diet, but I did notice that they have free hot dogs during Astros games. That's a pretty awesome perk. Drinks (4/5): As you would expect, heavy on beer though they have a full bar. When I'm at an Irish pub, I'm going to go with an Irish or British beer. They have a good number of those options too. Plus daily happy hours, including weekends, and daily specials. I love a bar that has a good number of deals. You'll find that here.

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.

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.

    How have I never reviewed Saint Arnold Brewing Company?!…read more It's the longest running craft brewery in Texas, having won countless national awards. Though I don't drink beer anymore, I love that they do have a line of ciders and sparkling water at the brewery; and they have a few wine options. Most recently, I had their pizza margherita (made with cauliflower pizza crust, per my request). It was surprisingly very good! I wasn't expecting much, but it was crispy and had zesty pesto sauce that made it even better. If you don't want to order from their kitchen, they do have food trucks and other artisan vendors, entertainment. Do a tour if you can. It's kid and dog-friendly.
