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.

We stopped here for a drink before dinner and for a dessert after dinner at Zeppole. I was…read moreconcerned that if service was slow we would miss our reservation, but service seems to have improved. A server appeared almost immediately after we were seated on both occasions. For the drinks, my Hopidillo IPA was $10 for a pint and the wife had some kind of drink with bourbon for $16. For the dessert, I had the apple crisp and it was tasty. It had a lot of granola on top, but I like granola so it was fine. We enjoyed the enormous TV screen that was displaying a football game. The ambience is pure sports bar and I think the menu reflects that vibe. Overall, it was a perfectly fine experience and served our needs.

Texan Station Sports Bar was definitely not the worst we have had but it also wasn't the best we…read morehave had either....and not worth anything close to what they charge. The restaurant is very large and open. It has lots of little TVs with one large screen on one wall. Unfortunately a large strip in the middle of the screen was broken which made it fun to watch the World Cup. To drink my husband had the barrel aged old-fashioned and I ordered the pickletini. The old-fashioned was decent but not balanced at all. I was very disappointing and disgusting. I attend several Pickle festivals each year including the World's Largest Pickle Party and help run a few and this drink does a disservice to pickles and pickle lovers everywhere. Other than the pickle garnish, there was NO flavor of pickle anywhere. It was straight kettle one and what tasted like straight vermouth. (Read on to find out why I didn't/couldn't send it back) For appetizers we ordered the buffalo wings and the fried pickles. These were ordered the same time as we ordered our drinks and came out with our cocktails. The wings were standard bar buffalo wings. The fried pickles needed to be dried before being breaded as the breading slid right off of them. They also lacked seasoning. We were unable to order main courses or get my drink replaced as our server never came back to the table. We flagged down 3 other servers who said they would get our server or someone to help but after 45 minutes we got sick of getting the runaround and paid our bill and left. If I were you, I would avoid this sports bar unless you were looking for a standard beer and just some overpriced basic appetizers

It definitely blows typical bar food out of the water; it's evident that the owners have restaurant and service industry experience because every little detail has been thought of. They even make their sauces in house!! The juicy thick hotdog - could not get enough. The parmesan French fries - devoured. The tasty, cheesy burger rivaled any other gourmet burger joint. The place is a great time for people of all ages. There's plenty of seating. The sports are playing, and they encourage people to socialize, chat, and play games. What's better than cold drinks, great food, and fun times with friends? My friends and I will definitely be back!

They do let you know that there is an automatic 20% tip added to your tab up front, which you can add too if checking out using the link they text you. The special thing is they have a wall where you pick your own beer, cider and wine(?) that you activate with your wristband and are charged per ounce. I love the drink concept because it allows for folks to try a little bit of various options ... which they do have a number of local options on their wall. This is what I would return for, and bring friends to tet before we end up at another activity. Food wise: got a smash burger which came with fries, which if I order it again I'd probably change cheeses and ask for some pepper to season the fries a bit more ... all personal preferences... but was ok for something to eat to off set the two drinks I had while there. I also got some tacos to go for my husband. Again personal preference, he would have liked more seasoning/spice on the actual meat of the taco vs being as reliant on the salsa. So, on our next visit we might just stick with shareables/apps with our drinks.

Food (2/5): Karma's platter was well done compared to other dishes. Biriyani was lacking…read moreingredients, just full of rice. Lamb was chewy. Fish is good. Curry is a bit heavy but pairs well with their Naan. Honestly, the best thing here is their naan. Update: the chicken biriyani is pretty good! Drinks (2/5): Shocked by the quality based on their regular price. The Velvet Karma was okay (tasted like watery Bailey's with cinnamon). The Karma Sutra was mostly cough syrup, almost no liquor tasted in either. Both $15 each. Service (2/5): The waitresses are all hardworking but they seem super short-staffed. The whole place was packed but they're too busy to be out in the front. It took forever for food and drinks to come out also, despite it hasn't been packed yet. Took 15 min for the cocktail to be out and was watery... Ambiance (3/5): The live music at 7pm didn't start until 7:20. We came earlier and waited for it to start. Super disappointed and wanted to like this place. We can't see ourselves back unless these changes. It just seems stingey as a business to lack liquor in cocktails this price. The staff and manager were all nice, it's just not well run unfortunately.

The cheese on it was supposed to be liquid but you could tell it had been sitting for a while and the beef was really dry and had no flavor. I ate it cause I was starving and didn't wanna wait or cause any issues, I'll definitely go back and hopefully have better food. our server was nice but she didn't smile at all but she answered my questions about the mojito and gave suggestions which one I should get (she said blueberry was most popular) we were there for an hour and she popped up 4 times before we asked for the check. everything was great except the food, giving it a second chance
