We stopped by Social Beer Garden HTX for St. Patrick's Day and had a really good time. We went in…read morethe early afternoon, and the atmosphere was already lively without being overly crowded, which made it easy to relax and enjoy everything. The ambiance was great for the holiday they had themed drinks and specials going on, which added a fun touch and made it feel festive without being chaotic. Definitely a solid spot if you're looking for somewhere social but still comfortable. The drinks were good, and overall the vibe was on point. It felt like a place you could hang out for a while, whether you're there to celebrate something or just have a few drinks with friends. One thing to note is they don't serve food, I did hear they rotate food trucks at times, but none were there when we went which was a bit of a downside, but they did allow us to bring in outside food, which honestly made up for it and gave us more options. Parking wasn't too bad when we went, and since it wasn't super packed, everything felt smooth and easy. Overall, great vibes, good drinks, and a fun place. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for a casual hangout or social night out.

Axelrad is one of those spots that show up on every must visit in Houston list. After visiting a…read morefew times I can see why. Vibes are chill, beer selection is vast, they have some nice frozen drinks and cocktails as well. There's almost always some sort of event going on so it's a nice place to just stop by and check out if you have some time to chill. I've liked that there are random events and they can be hit or miss. Sometimes there's interesting musical guests, sometimes there are various vendors, sometimes there's a movie night. Regardless, I know I have a pretty good time and will be treated kindly by all the staff.

I've come here in some nice weather for a birthday party and I truly enjoy the ambiance this place brings! They have a great selection of drinks with fresh taps on the wall, definitely there's a drink that fits for every kind of taste bud. I didn't order food the time I came here, but I'm sure to order some the next time that I go! The seating and hammocks make this place unique as well. Parking can be tricky to find but it's quite rewarding once you find one!

Top notch service when we came in for the first time for lunch today…read more We had smoked wings and the burger with fries. The fries are really good and I'm not a fry person. We thought the burger and fries were good as well. They cooked my burger well done as asked and the jalapeño bacon jam was delicious and not spicy. This is a nice spot with a big covered deck if you prefer to eat outside. Parking is tight but I'm they have a sign saying they validate for a parking garage. We took a Lyft and that made it easier. Overall, we like this place and appreciate the good service and fresh, good food.

Stayed at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel Greenway this past week and dined at their hotel…read morerestaurant called the Upper Kirby Tap Room. The restaurant is located adjacent to the hotel lobby and has a nice, low-key yet sporty ambiance about it. They serve a buffet-type only breakfast in the morning for $13. Then they are closed until 5 p.m. for dinner and happy hour. I came in before I was scheduled to leave on the shuttle at 6:30 p.m. I promptly told my server I needed to eat quickly.and ordered the Cobb Salad for $10. A medium sized glass of milk set me back $3 since I did not want to drink alcohol before church. It took about 20 minutes to receive my salad from the waitress. I had to ask her to go check on it for me and then she brought it out. How long can it take to throw some lettuce on a plate and add tomatoes and avocados? Thank goodness I could eat it quickly and it was delicious. But my point about the 4 Points restaurant is that the food is decent but the service is somewhat spotty. Then I paid the check with a $50 bill that had employees scrambling to find change for me. Despite these service snafus, the Happy Hour seemed pretty good from my observations of it from afar. There was a party of 4 attractive women enjoying cocktails and some good-looking businessmen were there. A nice party of four older adults came in for dinner.. If not for the fact that I was headed to church, I would have been drinking at Happy Hour too. 4 YELP STARS for the Upper Kirby Tap Room.

This is one of Rice Village's only real bar scenes, and it's slightly off the beaten path…read more The exterior looks appealing with a nice patio. The interior is dimly lit with a variety of interesting pieces of decor. One thing that I love is this used to be an old bank, and the location has gone through a handful of owners and bars, but the old bank vault still remains, and is even an area where you can play games and sit and enjoy your beverages They have board games, a lane for darts. There's also a popcorn cart in the middle of the bar with complimentary popcorn The staff is fairly pleasant and efficient. The drinks were fine. The ambiance just wasn't my thing. It was fairly dark and the bar, darts area, and a couple other spots just felt crowded and congested. This is also a Rice Owls bar, and many of the clientele are rice students or alumni, and when we went it was very "bro-y" for lack of a better term Come tips: If you can, get reservations for the speakeasy that is located directly above the Owl Bar. Much better vibes, drinks, and service Cheers!!

Rice Village isn't exactly known for having a bunch of cool bars so it was nice to find this spot…read more Had some friends in town for a conference that were staying in the Galleria area. They looked up bars and suggested this spot. I had never heard of it but rolling up, I recognized it as where Kelvin Arms used to be. It was a cool spot back in the day and still a cool spot now. It shares a lot with other businesses and parking wasn't an issue when we went during the day. Inside is dark with an old bar feel to it. I believe this used to be an old bank and the original vault is still there. You can go in there and chill in a lounge like atmosphere. We ordered drinks and sat out on the spacious patio. I started off with an Old Fashioned. It was strong but tasty. What I didn't like was the used of regular ice as opposed to a proper, large ice cube. We then switched to espresso martinis which was done very well here. Overall, this is a solid spot in the Rice Village area. I'd come back if in the area.

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.

I like a good dive bar, but I was surprised to find The Railyard on the edge of River Oaks. Even…read morethough it's in an affluent area, the bar is very laid back. I stopped in on a Friday evening for a night cap. The bar is a pretty decent size and they have their own parking lot. They have a large patio out front and there was plenty of seating indoors as well. It's a sports bar so there were a lot of TVs throughout. They also have arcade games including Skee Ball and Pop-A-Shot. The menu had beer, wine, and cider, but they do have a full bar. I didn't see any specialty cocktails on the menu so I just asked the bartender, Marc to make me a gin based cocktail. Marc came up with his version of a Corpse Reviver. It had a tart, yet fruity twist to it. I can't recall all of the ingredients he used, but I liked it. I also had a Gimlet which was really good. Marc informed me about The Railyard shot special. Any time a train rolls by, you can purchase a vodka based shot for $2. I'm not much of a shot person, but I went ahead and ordered a White Tea shot. It was really good. Everyone in the bar was friendly and I appreciated the diversity of the clientele. Super chill place, just as a dive should be.
