    I was between 4 and 5 stars solely because the service is so great... but the food was a little on the lacking side. You walk in, and the music automatically puts you in a groove. The bartenders are great and super creative. One of them is even a florist. The owner or manager is so attentive. The drinks are ok but I didn't really enjoy the hearty served meal. MY meat was a little dry, but my friends chimmichurri chicken was fabulous. On Fridays, they have live jazz on tye patio. Which is worth taking some time to experience. I absolutely felt comfortable and relaxed here. Will go back for live music and drinks not necessarily for the food.

    This place was second choice but it should of Bern first! We went here unsure on a Thursday evening because they did not advertise Thursday evenings on line nor social media. They was very accommodating, suggestive, abd reasonable priced. We tried the wings and veggie pizza the food was nice and fresh and amazing! The service was out of this world. The building small inside. I had the red blend wine, I was not a fan so the second one I ordered the Bartender turned it into sangria it came out very good! My guess had a mocktail that they made to accommodate him, he loved it. I suppose because it was early it was one server and one Bartender. They did great! I will return we got full off of 12 total Honey Chipotle Wings and the Veggie Pizza our goal is to return but go to them first!

    Went solely for the food - This place left me speechless and full. The food was well seasoned and tender. Hats off to the chef - I have a new place to eat! The staff are huge Astros fans and will likely be watching the game with you! They were attentive and made sure we were well accommodated. They even wiped down the outdoor seating area after it rained. There's plenty of outdoor seating and fairly limited indoor seating. There's only ~7 parking spaces, so be prepared to look for parking on the weekend/busy hours. The moody lighting, incense smell, and chill vibes make it a great bar to hang out in. TUESDAY STEAK NIGHT: $16 The Hawaiian Marinated Ribeye (4.5/5) was soooo good - well seasoned, had crispy edges AND the fat melted in your mouth. The chimichurri sauce on the steak added a kick with its acidity. The roasted rosemary potatoes was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The bacon balsamic brussel sprouts surprised me the most. I normally don't like brussel sprouts but the way they made it toasty and soft got me hooked. It was surprisingly sweet too! My only complaint about the dish overall was it's slightly saltier than I'd prefer it to be. I'm glad I ordered the sautéed mushrooms, spinach onions and garlic to help neutralize the saltiness.

    10 out of 10, I highly recommend! Out server was Brian and he was great ; very attentive , personable, and provided a great experience!

    'Karen' I'm assuming throwing me some ..sign language ‍

    I would've loved to experience the food it inside ambiance at this bar. However, right at this moment.. a random encounter by an employee who's literal name was 'Karen' ruined the experience for me. While talking with my friend over the phone, I stood outside at the front walkway entrance. I was saying oh this looks like a cute bar to experience. Then out of the blue 'Karen' came to me rudely yelling 'my car is gonna be towed and gone.. if u don't move from their parking lot.' Confused at this verbal response.. I said excuse me .. she says ' yea you heard me.. bla blah bla... I responded not to speak to me that way. And asked why she was speaking that way.. She then said she can talk yo em any way she pleases.. Umm no ma'am you cannot.. get out of my face.. is what you can do.. She walks by in. , throws me a finger sign, which I captured. What in the what...: houston we have a real problem, Afterwards, a manager gentleman walked out and apologized in her behalf and welcomed me in.., which was nice but the vibe was already off ... I wish I was able to provide a positive review but the experience pre entering was already a 0.

    Social Beer Garden just doesn't do it for me. I've been once or twice years ago and recently…read moredecided to give it another try, hoping for a different experience, but unfortunately I still left unimpressed. To start out, the concept feels like a blend of accents from other popular bars in the area - the hammock chairs from Axelrad, the Adirondack chairs from Truck Yard, and the string light back patio from 8th Wonder. This blend makes it hard to give the bar a true identity. While they do have a large selection of beers on tap, their cocktail menu leaves me feeling lost. I appreciate the attempt to create unique flavor combinations but the options are just...confusing. For example, mezcal with citrus and prickly pear, or a highball with black currant, tequila and apricot. I'm holding on for dear life with all of these ingredients! Going along for the adventure, I tried their pickle cocktail that was on the menu and it was honestly, terrible. While they do have a happy hour that goes until 8pm, the service this last visit just wasn't the best. The server who helped me told me it was his second day and was clearly struggling to keep up with the cocktail combinations, referencing his phone many times while preparing the drink. I ended up not liking this drink and brought it back to the bar with just one sip gone and rather than offering to make me another drink, they kept it on my bill. Ok, whatever. That being said, just before this happened, the couple in front of me went to pay for their bill, prepared drinks in hand, at 8:02pm and the bartender refused to honor the happy hour prices, just two minutes past the official end time. With these two instances, it seems like the priority is maximizing every dollar of profit rather than investing in the customer experience. Given the number of other original concepts in the area, I would pass.

Of the 4 pizzas we tried, my personal ranking: 1. Spicy Goat 2. Duck Duck Shroom 3. Heirloom Margherita 4. Sweet & Spicy Pepperoni. Service was also disorganized and a little slow. I'd come back if I'm craving that pretzel.

If you go and ever wonder who you don't see many bartenders that are women, it's because the men will talk about how funny it is to rape the women drinking at this establishment. This is something the bartenders will laugh and joke about out loud when there are patrons inside of the bar. Imagine what they say when no one else is around. This is something ownership knows about and will refuse to fire the men who participates in these conversations.

    I'm impressed !…read more Came here to watch a WC game on a Sunday. We arrived an hour before the start. The seating assignment is strange. Despite being quite empty at that time, we had to be on a waitlist system for about 20 min. Maybe people signed up for that time slot, unclear ? The tables do move. We were originally assigned right under the TVs, which defeated our purpose of watching the game. We moved our table back, enough to not pinch our neck. It's a great location for game watching. TVs are set all throughout the bar. Bonus if there are two or more sport events. That evening, we could watch a WC game and a UFC fight at the same time. What surprised me was the quality of the food. The wings were excellent, the burger came out quickly as well. The fries could be crispier. The tots were good. Wish they offered sweet potato fries. Overall pricing is a bit on the higher side. So watch your alcohol consumption, lol! Now, it is downtown so parking isn't the best. Use a rideshare. I can be convinced to go back for their wings.

Don't know why there wasn't one tv showing any baseball game, including the Astros game on at the same time.) The bar is fine; the seats not the most comfortable; the food is overpriced bland Sysco, with the atmosphere too loud for the friendly waitstaff to hear you. I had a salmon Caesar, which was fine, but $31 plus a hidden 4% service charge for not a lot of lettuce, dressing, and four croutons. An app (chips and bland dip, skimped on the chips) and two entrees, a 16 oz beer and two mixed drinks was $145 with tax and tip. Agonizing to pay that much for a mid experience, especially with the other costs in time and money. Guaranteeing seats for the game without showing up ages in advance cost $40/seat and we didn't get the advertised VIP World Cup goody-bag package we were promised. Worst part of the night was getting out. 45 minutes stuck in the $10 Greenstreet parking garage because the scanners weren't working, but it's that or $40 of Ubers. So ~$250 for a less-than-mid evening that wasn't especially relaxing.
