I believe I have only been here once after I started yelp. This place has a great feel. Never been here for breakfast. But after work for a couple of beers and a with some fried jalapeños. It works for me. A must try. They put them in their quesadilla. This place is not a fancy restaurant. But the service here is top notch. Everyone has their favorite to get. The first time I went I asked a few regulars. And everyone had their favorite. I was told everything is great. You just have to find your favorite. I hope you find yours. read more

Had business here in midland from ft worth and a lot of these places are sketchy and have horrible reviews. This place is perfect if you wanna chill and have a beer. Bartenders are on point and very welcoming. Make you feel like you've know them for years. Will be returning while I finish my business here. If you haven't been to midland this is a great place to start! "B" and "Marie" are bosses behind the bar! read more

Went out to "The Bar" the other day with a few friends. The fried frog legs were cooked perfectly and my blackened fish tacos were also good. This is decent place to go have a beer or two over a casual dinner. I wouldnt say the crowd is rough, but I also didnt see a suit in the whole joint. (Fine by me. :) ) Oh and last but not least, no microbrews on tap. They do have a few in the fridge though. Have fun! read more

Dined tonight with my wife, daughter, and her fiancé. Typical menu for Texas bars and grill (well, for Midland), we ordered two quest burgers with chi and sweer'tater fries, Cajun blackened catfish with mixed veggies, and finally a chopped steak with a salad and sweet'tater fries. Our waitress was a former student, she did a fine job too. Our food was served hot, and rather quickly too. No complaints, good food! read more

Lunch- If I lived here, I'd eat here every day. This place is historic to the oil patch. I'm betting plenty of business has been done here over the years. The ham and swiss was great. Perfect heat and the roll was fresh. The homemade chips? I skipped suppa over this place. I'm stopping here again before I leave Friday. read more

I had "the bar" burger. It was pretty good and it was cooked perfectly. Had two cheeses and bacon on top and came with a side of fries and bacon on top. It was juicy and flavorful. One downside to the place is you can smoke inside. While I was eating a lady at the next table lit up a cigarette and it interfered with me enjoying the taste of the burger. Overall, I'd recommend it read more

The Bar - American Near Me - Midland, Texas

Very cool if you're just looking for a calm atmosphere, don't come if you want to have a fun time.

Delicious chicken fried bacon with homemade gravy! Yes, chicken fried bacon!!! Very fresh salads, I had the blackened chicken salad and the chicken was perfectly cooked and all the dressings are house made. They also make their own chips that come with the burgers and they're amazing too! Overall very good, 4 stars because it's not nonsmoking. read more

The Bar - Chicken fried bacon and gravy - American Near Me - Midland, Texas

The Bar is a Midland right of passage. The Queso Burger is on point and the brunch on Saturday's is by far the best in town. The waitresses are great and the bartenders adequate. Take your jacket off before you go in. Whatever you wear is going to have the stench of nervous oilfield trash sweating oil prices through endless amounts of cigarettes. read more

The Bar is a good spot for a buisness lunch or happy hour. Good food u sugest the chicken fried steak or the Philly cheesesteak.

Not sure why excuses were necessary tonight from Manager. Got a drink while waiting for others. Sat there 30 minutes with no refills. I finally got up and asked the bartender for another drink. Had to ask for my waitress to take order. Had to continuously go to bar for more drinks. Finally, after our meal, another waitress helped out. She said our waitress has personal issues. Well leave them at the door or don't come in. I was a waitress for years and you fake your way thru it if you want tips. Our waitress did not say one word to us. The manager said you were taken care of by others. No we were not. Had to ask for order to be taken, had to go to bar to order drinks. Nothing was done unless we asked. When your bill is $120.00 you should get half ass service. Worse experience ever. Should be ashamed of how management handled it and quality of service. Spend thousands taking clients out. Not here ever again. read more

Really good steaks: ribeye, filet wrapped in bacon. Hot fries, great cornbread. Not inexpensive.

Great place to watch a local band play. We had the nachos and they were pretty good. Not the best I have ever had but great for late night eating. They offer a variety of foods. Drinks are a bit pricey but so is everything in midland! read more

I did not eat here. It was a Monday night. Having said that, this place was nothing special...just another townie bar. The four people in the bar on Monday night left just after we got here. perhaps it's busier on the weekend. The decor is full of animal heads (think hunting lodge) and autographs from mostly football players. There is a feeling of Bob's Country Bunker (Blues Brothers) meets Animal House. The thing I ordered, Shiner on draught, tasted terrible. Don't know why this joint is rated so high. read more

My first time at this bar the service was awful! The food was cold and undercooked , tables were dirty . My server wouldn't come check on us just stand around at other tables. read more

Nothing like the stench of stale wet cigarets upon entering for breakfast on a beautiful Saturday morning. The non-smoking section is in the back where you are pack in like sardines. The OJ tasted like something out of a can from the Super Mercado and the potatoes were obviously right out a large bag from the freezer. Don't bother with the Eggs Benedict. read more

Coldest beer in Midland with free popcorn and peanuts! The food is surprisingly really really good. And the service is probably the best of any bar around. Your glass will never be empty. You can always expect the manager or the owner to come check on you too, just to make sure you're doing okay! The atmosphere is great and everyone is super friendly. read more

A good place for solid burgers. As with most other Midland establishments, the demand has overwhelmed the service staff. Expect a wait; expect delayed service; expect cramped quarters. But the burgers are good. That's always something. As far as beer selections are concerned, theirs is conventional; no matter. Get the burger. Have a drink. Spot a chill. read more

Gave me wrong drink and charged me double for it and on top of that the waitress was so rude about it.

The Bar is one of my favorite bars in town! I especially love their patio area on warm summer nights...especially to avoid smelling like an ashtray when you leave! LOL Inside is a bit smoky if it's crowded. The only gripe I have is the drinks are a bit pricy. If you stick with beer it's good. The manager is really good! Once my friends & I showed up around like 10 & were starving...but the kitchen was closed....the manager let us order a pizza from Dominos. Of course we spent alot on drinks! read more

Great place to eat drink and smoke. Chicken fry is recommended as well as the patty melt. Outdoor seating. Very spacious, lots of seating and good service for such a large setup. Drinks a little on the weak side so 6 point Texas beer is your best bet. Margaritas are tasty but a little lite on the liquor. Waitress was very attentive and good with suggestions. Overall good experience. read more

The place was pretty busy for lunch, it took a while before we got our food and even the check. I had the philly sandwich and was pretty good; the meat was seasoned well. I also had a cup of the beef stew which was more like broth and ingredients that would go in a stew; the flavors were good even though it was not what I had expected. read more

Love the atmosphere very lively. Good food and great drink selection. Great place to sit and socialize

Update: the backroom does NOT have air conditioning....Several large ceiling fans, but it is West Texas so it will be warm...

This was my favorite place in Midland. Great brunch (get there early, it gets crowded), amazing bloody marys, and a cool atmosphere of Midland stuff. There's a nice covered outdoor area that's great for a group. We sat out there for the Superbowl. They're not normally open Sundays, but they open for the Superbowl. read more

Good place. Pretty girls. Good food. In Midland, a good find. Only downside is it is smoker friendly.

I love this place but the service is questionable. The atmosphere is not very Midland-like which is ironic because it's a staple here. The food was excellent. I had the chicken and waffles, my wife had the blackened chicken. Both were delicious. We went during brunch so it was busy. However, we put our name in and waited. Moments later people walked in and were seated. Unacceptable. Then our waitress was slow and looked lost. I'll be back, hopefully they can work on the service issues. read more

Ate here for years in high school and loved it, but always envied the people who were able to enjoy the bar at night. Now that I am of age I have been quite a few times, great staff, great drinks and I love the outside patio. 5 stars! read more

Disappointed. Went for lunch during the week. Not overly busy, but yet our server was less than attentive. The food was OK. Nothing I would write home about, especially for the price. read more

So I've been here twice for brunch and once for dinner. Every time has been absolutely wonderful. The service is fantastic and the food is even better. On Brunch: I got the chicken and waffles once and the eggs benedict another time. I will definitely be ordering both again! The chicken and waffles were more savory than I am used to but it was a happy change to have gravy on the side. A great highlight was also the quite large mimosa's that are a perfect ration of bubbles and oj. On Dinner: I had the best burger I've had in Midland so far. It was just a classic normal burger but it reminded me of home. It was so juicy and not over cooked aka perfect... not to mention the house made potato chips! We sat in the bar area and as we were about to leave around 9:30 a band came on the stage! We stayed for a little while to see them and they were a hoot, very good. All in all I'm always happy when we end up there. It will continue to stay on a regular rotation while we're here. read more

Great food there gravy is the best there quezon is pretty good as well the play good music and Friday's have band I would call this bar my home read more

This place has gone to shit. Overpriced bad sloppy food. The Reuben is a joke. Fries are soggy. What happened to the homemade fries? The service is lacking but that's everywhere in Midland right now. Management needs to open their eyes and start caring about the product they produce and start catering to the loyal customers. People come back because its really one of the few places to go in Midland, but that doesn't mean we need to pay for bad food and drinks I can make better at home. read more

I love coming here on Saturday mornings and sitting on the patio. I would never be able to eat in the smoking part of the building because it stinks to high heaven but the patio (or garage if weather is bad) is awesome. read more

Food was amazing the "the" bar burger is phenomenal! It has an entire hatched pepper split and put on top of the burger making it extra juicy.I would venture to say this is the best burger Midland has to offer read more

Great atmosphere. Burgers are great. Bloody Mary's and Mimosas at brunch on Saturday great. Had eggs Benedict, daughter had biscuits and gravy and hubby had breakfast enchiladas. Taste was great but food wasn't hot. Didn't see the waitress much so didn't send back. Shame food wasn't hot. Would have been a great brunch otherwise. read more

No frills, just solid pub food, friendly service, and a laid-back atmosphere. It is also a Midland institution, so you never know who you might bump into. I'd give it five stars if only they'd add two more taps and offered a couple of Texas-made craft beers. read more

The burgers are good. This is the only thing I get when visiting Midland. Drinks are good too! Prices weren't bad. Very laid back spot.

Fantastic food and service......oysters on the half shell, onion rings, ad bacon wrapped shrimp hmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm....

Was attempting to return a lost phone. Destiny was rather rude and unhelpful over the phone.

This place is awesome. What's not to like. Live music. Great staff. The best food in town. From the moment I walked in and was greeted by the staff (even though they were busy as hell) to the manager walking around and making sure all was good with everything. I had a blast and I am making The Bar a regular hang out of mine. I want to tell everyone to not miss this place read more
