Oh Barrel Room at the Gaylord Texan, once a moody, swanky little cave of cocktails, now with a…read morepatio. Because what every dimly lit whiskey bar needed was a splash of Vitamin D and the distant echo of a convention attendee on a Bluetooth headset. Let's start with the good stuff: the Old Fashioned Whoever's behind the bar clearly went to the Hogwarts School of Cocktail Wizardry, because that drink arrives smoother than a country club apology. Pros: * That Old Fashioned, again, deserves its own fan club. * Still a classy joint if you squint and face away from the light. * Great people-watching, if you're into cowboy hats and expense accounts. Cons: * They turned the sexy cave into a summer porch. * The mysterious, brooding ambiance has been replaced with... sunshine? * I didn't come here to feel refreshed. I came to feel cloaked in mahogany and regret. Bottom line: the Barrel Room is still worth a visit if you're looking to class up your cocktail game before sliding into a steak-induced food coma at Old Hickory.

I visited Texan Station Sports Bar & Grill twice during my stay at the Gaylord Texan Resort &…read moreConvention Center. The first time was for takeout and the second time was to dine in. Texan Station Sports Bar & Grill has a 52-foot flat-panel TV and other wall TVs which makes it a popular gathering spot for sports enthusiasts. The menu consists of a wide selection of draft beers, wine and cocktails along with scrumptious bar bites. It is very spacious inside and there are plenty of tables. I've had the turkey stack which has turkey, Swiss cheese, avocado smash, lettuce, tomato, Italian vinaigrette, garlic mayo on sourdough bread and served with kettle chips. The sandwich was very filling and tasty. The to go menu is more limited than the dine-in menu. I ordered the grapevine burger with fries and the wings. The grapevine burger has one beef patty, American cheese, iceberg lettuce, tomato, dill pickles, comeback sauce on a brioche bun. The burger was very juicy. I really liked the fries because they were seasoned and crispy. I chose garlic parmesan for the wings and it was served with celery and carrots. Food was ready in no time. Texan Station Sports Bar & Grill is a great choice if you staying on the property. Service was friendly and attentive.

From the moment we sat down, her personality and energy stood out--so warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive. She gave us great suggestions for both food and drinks, which we really appreciated. I ordered the shrimp Caesar salad and my husband got the nachos--both were delicious. But what really made the experience exceptional was Evelin going above and beyond. My husband loves spicy salsa, and since the restaurant didn't have anything truly spicy, she actually went out of her way to another spot in the hotel to find some for him. And let me tell you--it was EXTRA spicy and so good! That level of care and effort is rare, and it made our lunch feel extra special. Evelin truly elevated our entire experience. We'll definitely be back and hope to have her again!

Fantastic Nepalese/Indian cuisine on Main Street!…read more We stopped by Karma and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is large with a nice bar area and the service was very friendly and efficient! Apps: Chili Momos (Veg) and Gobi Manchurian - the momos were super crispy and the sauce was very spicy in a good way! The Manchurian was so saucy and packed with flavor. Recommend both! Mains: Himalayan Thukpa, Palak Paneer, Malai Kofta - the Thukpa was the highlight! The broth was perfectly salty with a great umami taste. The Malai Kofta was rich and I enjoyed the cheesy koftas. The Palak Paneer was tasty, but I enjoyed the malai and thukpa more! Dessert: Pistachio Cheesecake - delicious! More like a pistachio ice cream cake, but it was so good and not too sweet! Overall, we really enjoyed our meal! Will absolutely be back!

The Himalayan thali was the highlight naan so soft it felt like clouds, and lentil curry that carried deep, cozy flavors. The chowmein with lamb and chicken had that smoky stir-fry kick, and the momos were a joy to try. The butter tikka momos were creamy and rich, while the choila momos with the chef's sauce brought a spicy spark that stayed with me. The drinks matched the season perfectly. The Gurkhas Old Fashioned was smooth with a twist, and the hot rum punch felt like warmth in a glass just right for winter. The place itself was cozy, with a vibe that made me want to linger. Even during busy hours the staff stayed friendly, though the food took a little longer to arrive. Still, the service felt welcoming. Altogether, the mix of food, drinks, and atmosphere made the evening memorable in its own way.

She's sharp,…read morequick-witted, and actually pays attention to what's going on around her--something that clearly isn't consistent across the rest of the floor. While other servers seemed more focused on socializing with regulars than doing their jobs, Taylor stood out immediately. She stayed engaged, checked in at the right times, and made sure everything was handled without needing to be asked twice. That's not luck--that's professionalism. She brings a mix of intelligence and humor that makes the experience better without being forced or over the top. More importantly, she executes. Orders are right, timing is right, and the overall experience feels intentional--not neglected. If you're going to Rowdy Cowboy, don't leave it to chance. Ask for Taylor by name. She's an asset to that place, and based on what I saw, she's setting a standard others there aren't meeting

It was Wednesday night and apparently that means karaoke but it was basically just a DJ, I didn't hear anyone grab a mic during the 30-40min I was in there. Not complaining by the way! The bartender and server were great. Friendly and fast. The food just wasn't very good overall and it was over-priced obviously since it's in the hotel. Would eat there again in a pinch, it wasn't terrible but if you've got time to leave the hotel, you'll likely find better food for a similar price.

Walking in I can describe the ambiance in here in three words...Texas Dive Bar! I was here for lunch, so I was a little worried how much the alcohol the place serves up had affected the food reviews...but this place has legitimately really good food. I ordered the lunch special fried shrimp basket. For 9.99 I got a half dozen jumbo shrimp that breaded in some kind of deliciousness and served with fries. They were really good. My server Andrea, who also doubled as the bartender, was really good. She was upbeat and pleasant. They are definitely worth some repeat visits! Review #2057

Like, what???? I told the GM he was my husband and brushed it off so I walked up to the bar to order my first drink but my husband came behind me and just said let's leave and the GM verbally shouted out "SEE YA" We were Unproblematic. I had to use the restroom and wanted it guarded by someone I knew (my husband) WTF. He needs to be fired.

Good Happy Hour 3p-6p & Lunch Specials on weekdays. We enjoyed our meals and choice of side items. I got personal pizza & house salad. House salad was nothing special and they were very skimpy on the ranch. Pizza was tasty! Parmageddon & fries were enjoyed. Only thing my Dad didn't prefer with his dish was side choice of "seasonal veggies" and it was just broccoli. He was expecting more than one vegetable. He does not like broccoli but will tolerate a small amount. Lesson learned for next time, ask what the veggies are that day. Shrimp & Calamari app was good. We'll be back!

We love the decor and era theme with the MTV music video vibes. Like others have mentioned though, the service needs attention. We typically have issues with getting service on the patio, drinks are slow, we have to push for additional drinks, our food isn't severed timely, etc. Our most recent visit, I have to give our server credit, the pre-lunch salad was ordered incorrectly so it went back and by the time they re-made the salad, it came out after the main meal. My husband HATES that! We do not think twice to drive 45 minutes to get to Rock & Brew for the blackberry mojitos but to get bad service, that makes it difficult to justify. If you are headed to the bar to just have a few blackberry mojitos, I recommend this place all day. If you want service and plan to eat, I am not sure I would give it any stars with the last few visits. We have had great service here, just not in the last 3 visits.
