    Partial photo of their cigar selection.

    I came to this area looking for a cigar shop that turned out to have closed six months ago, but I'm glad it did -- it led me straight to Sunny's Bar. Matt was behind the bar and mentioned that he sells cigars. He helped me pick out a smooth Monte Cristo and made me feel right at home with great conversation. The place has a friendly, easygoing vibe and a solid group of regulars. Service is excellent and everyone seemed genuinely welcoming. What started as a frustrating detour turned into one of the best surprises of my trip. Highly recommend stopping by for a drink and a cigar.

    Small dive bar downtown with great drinks, neighborhood vibe, and friendly service. Sometimes you even catch the mascot- monkey onsite.

    I just discovered Sunny's this year and it has quickly become one of my favorite watering holes in downtown. We typically meet at a friend's house in EaDo and catch the rail into downtown. Sunny's is just a short walk from the rail. It is located off Capitol and the neon sign outside is hard to miss. They have a small patio outside and on more than one occasion I have run into friends sitting outside during the nice weather days. Walking in, it looks like a little tropical bar the way it is decorated. There's just a little bit of seating up front, but there is a whole back area with pool tables and stools in the back. To get to the bathroom, there's a little maze of a hallway to follow. Customer service has always been great here. You can tell they have their regulars, but the bartenders always make everyone feel welcome. As far as drinks go, they got it all. In a little hole in the wall like this you expect mostly beer and liquor, but they also seem to cater to the wine lovers as well. I always end up getting a beer specifically to get one of their cool koozies that says "Stolen from Sunny's" that you are more than welcome to keep. I've also partook in their frozen bomb pop concoction that is a mix of all their frozens. It is quite refreshing on a summer day. On top of that, they have lots of drink specials. What they are known for is their $1 Jell-O shots that people buy in mass quantities. I love this place because of the no frills, cheap, chill atmosphere that I seem to love these days. I will most definitely be back!

    See all

    Great spot for an after work pop and/or a pre-Astros drink. Classic dive bar and who doesn't like test tube shots

    No number to call and a less than helpful staff. If not for being in a decent location I wouldn't see this place existing.

    Is there food?

    No, but you can bring outside food in. Lots of people have pizza delivered. There is also a tamale guym but I've heard mixed reviews.

    My designated driver is 20, all am I asking is can he walk in with me?

    Considering it's been 3 years since you asked the question, I think it is a pretty safe bet now :-)

    Along with the Jell-O shots they had test tube shots, margaritas, and soaked pineapple for a great price!
