    TL;DR: A clean, friendly sports bar with actual food and drink specials, secret EDM/tequila speakeasy in the back, and parking that will test your skills and patience. 10/10 would risk it again. Take a seat, I've got a story to tell: I have no idea how this place isn't already swarming with people wearing vintage Cowboys jerseys and arguing about brisket. It's like someone said, "What if we made a chill, good-looking sports bar with great food, live music, and a tequila dungeon rave in the back?" and then actually did it. Let's start with location: It's in the Design District, nestled between a UPS store and some bougie eateries that serve things like "deconstructed nachos" This place? No pretense. Just vibes. The front is a cool, unassuming sports bar with TVs, a solid beer selection, and food that's actually better than it needs to be. I'm not saying the burger cured my seasonal depression, but I did smile with my whole face after the first bite. But wait..there's a twist. Go toward the back and you'll stumble upon a themed bar/speakeasy that opens on weekends only. Think tequila meets house music meets, "how is this even legal?" It's like Narnia, if Narnia served mezcal shots and played Diplo remixes. Pro tips: * Taco Tuesdays: Dollar tacos that don't taste like regret. * Thursday combo: Burger, fries, and a beer for $10. Alexander Hamilton would be proud. * Staff is actually attentive and friendly, no one here is mad that you exist. There's a gentleman that is deaf, be nice, he's super cool! The only con? The parking situation is more stressful than a group project in college. Street parking is your best bet, but if you have to use the lot, prepare to reenact a 37-point turn while strangers silently judge you. If you're looking for a place where you can watch the game, make a new bar friend, and maybe end the night dancing in a surprise tequila lounge, this is your spot. Just don't tell too many people. I like being able to get a table. ;P Follow their Instagram for their specials and updates.

    Visiting from NC and we enjoyed this place tremendously! Such a vibe and the decor was very pretty and made the ambiance even better. It was not as packed as we expected it to be and we were able to find a table closer to the back of the place. They did have a dance floor towards the entrance but it was a bit small though. So there was a bunch of bumping into different people. Everyone was super friendly and efficient. Our waitress did take a while with our drinks but ehhh, it can happen so we didn't complain. We went on a friday around 11pm and I believe it was tropical night? They played a bunch of salsa, Merengue and Bachata with a few Reggaeton songs here and there. Drinks were great. Ordered the Watermelon Paloma and it was super strong and tasted delicious! We also ordered a few glasses of Brut (Prosecco) and def hit the spot also. Before we left we got complementary watermelon shots, OMG they were sooooooo good! Definitely dangerous though so be careful if you order those. They can definitely sneak up on you. They do serve food but we did not order any so cant comment on that. Towards the end we saw that they offer hookah and were bummed because we would've enjoyed that if we would've known when we first arrived. The bathrooms were gross though. Floor was wet , tissue paper all on the floor and trash was overflowing. Other than that we enjoyed our time here and will be back if we are ever in the area.

    Enjoying one of the creative spirits

    Pretty extensive menu with some pretty interesting looking burgers!!…read more I got the Hot Bastard and sweet potato fries. I just got the burger as it came, it seemed like it would be good as is. And it was! Had a spicy kick as you'd expect. It was very busy when I was there so there was a bit of a wait for orders to be taken and for the food to come out however, again, it was pretty packed so I'm not gonna begrudge anyone some delays when things are busy. I sat outside as it was a nice evening albeit slightly chilly and I didn't have a sweatshirt or jacket but that's my own fault. I'd definitely go again but I would also definitely get something other than the Hot Bastard - not because there was anything wrong with the Hot Bastard it's just the are so many good looking burgers on the menu I want to diversify!!!

    Nut allergy friendly: I had no issues here!…read more Arrived around 7:20 PM on a Thursday night and it was packed! They seemed to have a good amount of parking but thankfully it was walking distance away from my hotel. Order-to-Entree: 17 Minutes I easily found a table for two and there's ample indoor and outdoor seating. We got our beers pretty quickly, and our main courses came decently quickly as well. The burger was juicy and the sweet potato fries were solid. They've got an amazing diverse burger menu and I can see why it's a local favorite. Would definitely come back again.

    Not sure if it was just a slow night, but we were surprised to walk in at 6:45 on a Friday night…read moreand see the staff (8) on the floor equalled by the guests (also 8).......Very bizarre set up, after taking guest orders, all the servers went to a booth to have a manager look at it......Took an extraordinarily long time to make a Paloma given the guest to staff ratio.....we ordered an appetizer and an entree to share, and they both came out at the same time......aside from taking a long time to make a Paloma, the service was good - most of the 8 employees swung by the table to see if we were doing okay.......the food was fine, not great......the prices were very fair and lower than most in the Bishop Arts area - right at 7pm, a DJ started playing Hispanic dance music and a few more people arrived - maybe that's the bread and butter of the business - average experience, wouldn't be afraid to walk in again, but isn't a place I'd select to take guests

    Location Bishop Arts area…read moreParking Large garage across the street Atmosphere Upscale sports bar Many tv's-staff open to searching for the game we wanted to watch Seating Bar, booths, high top tables-inside and outside. Service Outstanding-friendly-immediate water and order. Menu Friday was $0.50 wings! Really good-served with celery and carrots. Wings were good sized and cooked perfectly. Another customer had the fried Oreos. He gave them a great report. Ask about specials. Summary Love this place-outstanding service, great food, friendly vibe-spin the wheel if available!

    Happy hour visit during golden hour sunset was beautiful due to being surrounded by nature! Dogs…read moreallowed inside. Lots of parking. Live music on a Wednesday night which was a treat! Some of the singers were so good I didn't realize it was actually open mic night. Lots of funky statues on the outside courtyard and on top of the building, which is cool to see driving by. Service was fast and it wasn't too busy 6-8p. There are 3 pool tables. 4 or 5 televisions inside. 4 arcade games. Many tables indoors and outdoors. Worth a drink!

    I've eaten here a couple of times last month and both times I was disappointed.The first time I got…read morethe wings.When they came out the wings were huge.But bigger isn't always better.They were just fatty and the flavor of the wings were just ok.It was some kind of dry rub.I definitely wouldn't suggest the wings.Now on to the burger which there is a big sign out front saying they have the best burgers in town.IMO it is far from the best.First off it's a little pricey.think is was 18 bucks with potato chips.If you wanted fries it would've been 4 bucks more.So I just stuck with the chips.so as far as the burger goes it was just ok.It was a little dry and the meat just had a weird taste to it.And I was really looking forward to this burger with all the hype.Even my buddy told me about this burger.I guess my buddy doesn't have the expectations like I have.I really hate to say bad things about this guys food because he's a really cool dude but I'm just being honest.Before coming here to eat I was here a long time ago and hung out a couple of times.Its a pretty cool place to hang out at.And like I said Rick is a pretty cool guy.But so far the food goes it just hasn't worked for me.
