After dinner we came over here for a few drinks outside on patio overlooking the water. Nice scenery and good drinks. Quiet on a Thursday night but very relaxing atmosphere to enjoy with friends. We had a few margaritas and Moscow mule which was very well mixed. The server was great to us also. read more

Hubby and I decided to try this place for St. Patrick's Day. They actually have a decent patio area on Lake Carolyn. To be honest service was very bad, the only nice server was Matthew. He apologized for the delay for the drinks and food. It literally took them a good 20 minutes just to take our drink order. Mind you Matthew was a sweetheart and said they got a big rush. One woman server was straight up rude to Hubby when he asked for silverware when she delivered our food. - Heineken - Moscow Mule - Pesto Pasta with Blackened Chicken - Strawberry Pecan Salad with Chicken The salad was decent however the only thing that WOWED us was that Moscow Mule, it was absolutely refreshing and delicious! read more

Some street parking available, but you do have to walk a bit. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Some staff wore masks. There is a bar area and more seating area available. Overall very nice vibe inside. Feels cozy and relaxing that you want to unwind and enjoy a drink or two here. We had a mixed drink each and then a beer. Their beer list is quite expansive, if you feel overwhelmed like I did, the server was very informative and recommended some delicious choices! Tacos: a hint of spicy, all the ingredients tasted really fresh. Resets your palette while drinking. Sliders: perfect size to share and burger was juicy. Definitely good beer food. Would love to go back...really like the vibe inside and service was great. Too bad we went really close to closing time read more

So I visited this place yesterday after a very long time . The Location is now moved in the same area to a very undesirable different location. Service was mediocre as well . Menu had been changed to have only 3 entries and rest are snacks I am very much disappointed with overall presentation and service. Good luck !!!!! read more

Visiting from New York, and on a lovely Saturday evening, sat down outside for drinks and appetizer. The drinks took over 15 min to arrive - after we finished the food. read more

I was in the area and was not disappointed to stop by Th Ginger Man. They had an extensive beer selection. I went for the Belgium Flight. The bartender was very informative/interesting letting me know that my fav beer from the flight-Chimay was made by monks, they are a non profit Trappist brewery that gives back to the community... plus it was delicious! Tuesday nights they have trivia, and I'm told the fish and chips are amazing. It was a great pub! read more

It still amazes me how Irving has grown in 10 years. From local dives on the way to the airport to cozy riverside walks with loved ones, the DFW metroplex never disappoints. I attended my first in-person mixer last year at The Ginger Man, which was able to house all of us effortlessly. Happy hours are best spent as the sunsets in right by the water, preferably making new friends in tow. read more

This place was the total package! Great outdoor very socially distanced seating, amazing service and great food! The view of the canals and lakes makes for a pleasant surrounding. We were given our choice of seats and chose one in the sun overlooking the fountains in the canals. We were warmly greeted by our server, who offered paper or downloadable menus to us. I chose the Shrimp Poboy. The Shrimp Poboy was delicious! It was on a nice fresh French Bread and came with lettuce, tomatoes, and a flavored mayo with a side of fries. Everything was spot on! read more

Late night Wednesday visit with one of my local friends. Food portions were generous (bar bites), service was quick, polite, and didn't pressure is even though it was close to closing (and we hurried out to be equally polite!). It's a lovely spot, especially outdoors by the water. read more

I come here often for HH. Today, I finally decided to go for brunch. The views if you sit outside is nice and today was warm and sunny. I had the migas skillet for $10 and it came with a side of fruit cup. It was good! My friend had a Pesto Chicken sandwhich and she liked it. I ordered a moscow mule but it was watery no alcohol. I think I prefer to go here during weekdays after work. Giving 4 stars since was server was nice and accommodated every request. If you are allergic to dogs, do not sit on the patio. There are a lot of people walking around and sitting on the patio with their dogs. read more

Came to the ginger man for brunch this weekend and the bloody mark was 10/10. I got the grilled cheese and waffle fries which was also really good. The only reason I am giving 3 stars is the portion size was lacking for the waffle fries, we got like 5 fries. The Bloody Mary was a little pricey for the size and strength. I would try again not for brunch. Really nice outside patio. read more

Everything about this place is perfectly average. Food, views, service, nothing to write home about. Chicken and waffle universally seemed the most visually appealing dish and my friend who ate it loved it, but everyone else mildly enjoyed their food. I had the pesto blt and it was fine but certainly not memorable. Parking was a hassle (avoid the garage at all costs) and there is hardly any view of the lake. My husband got a burger and didn't receive the mayo he asked for until after he finished the burger - oh well. The only remarkable thing about this place is the extensive drink menu - so much they have to do the beer section digitally. All in all I had a fine visit but I won't be back. read more

Went here for brunch with my friend and really enjoyed it. We sat outside by the water and enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. The food was good but I wasn't full after my waffle and fruit. I should've gotten the sandwich like my friend did. She thoroughly enjoyed it though. The prices were decent and the cocktails were only 4 dollars. I took off a star for not being full and the selection of cocktails. I would come here again so I can try more of the menu. read more

We go here for a decent Reuben sandwich which is surprisingly difficult to find in the DFW area. The corned beef is sliced thin, generous without being too much. The bread, marbled rye and grilled. Sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and dressing all included. Yay! The potatoes are cross cut and fried, served with a spicy ketchup. Pickle spear is not the best. Eaten with a beer or root beer. Satisfying. read more

The Ginger Man is a gastro pup in Irving's Water Street development that has an incredible array of beers to choose from. Located right on the Lake Carolyn, this spot has an amazing atmosphere and beer selection that combines to form an incredible experience. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Full Disclosure - I'm going to focus mainly on the atmosphere for The Ginger Man. They have an incredible design. The gastro pub has doors that open and let the outside in. It sits right on the lake in Water Street, which is a new development in Irving with plenty of outside walking. Grab a seat outside and proceed to enjoy a great beer selection, a bar friendly menu, and people watching. I would visit The Ginger Man just for its atmosphere. 1 Star. Service - This was the only part of our visit that wasn't great. Honestly, our server wasn't very friendly and seem annoyed that our party of 6 was indecisive. With a large menu of beers, it takes time to put in your order. We tried to be overly nice to see if the service would improve but unfortunately it did not. No Stars. Food - I'll be honest. The food is typical bar food. My friends ordered the burgers and po boys, but I only ate the charcuterie platter. But you're not here for food, you're here for the incredible menu option of beers. Tap, draft, bottle, they have it. Everyone has different tastes, but chances are your favorite beer is on the menu. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. This is one of the best atmospheres in Irving. If you want to enjoy a nice beer in a amazing atmosphere, check out The Ginger Man. I will be back. 1 Star. My Yelp Rating Scale (Sum of all parts): 1 Star - Atmosphere - Is it a cool dive? Perhaps an upscale place? No matter the type, atmosphere plays a big part and I'll give a star if I like it or thinks it has great charm. 1 Star - Service - You can have a great meal with bad service. But that's also what can make a five star joint drop to four. It's important to the dining experience that service is great and on point. 2 Stars - Food - I'll award up to two stars for the food, since this is the main reason we dine out. Sometimes the extra star is given for value, but it's really all about the food. 1 Star - Will I come back? - If I know for a fact I'll return, I'll give this a star. A place has to make an impression for me to return. Each Category can be given up to 1 star except food (2 stars) because I consider all these categories important to the overall dining experience. I will sum them up to provide my final Yelp score. read more

Had a pretty bad experience here ~ went in on a Sunday afternoon when the weather was nice so a lot of people outside but not a single customer inside. When we walked in, there were 3 workers sitting/standing inside that made eye contact with us multiple times and just looked straight through us. After waiting for about 20 minutes right by the host stand, we decided to leave. Worst service I've experienced in a while. read more

Fun games, great location, nice beers on draft, helpful staff -- It's all good in this neighborhood;). Spotted as a newly-opened restaurant/bar during Fourth of July fireworks, my partner and I finally made our first visit last night to try it out. We enjoyed playing giant connect four and trying some mixed beers. I had a Double Truffle - Young's Double stout with a splash of raspberry added. My partner had Half and Half (Guinness and Harp). The bartender last night was really helpful and answered my beer and menu questions despite being a bit busy. We tried the chicken pesto flatbread for all-day $5 Flatbread Fridays. Unfortunately, we found it to be too salty which kinda drowned the other flavors. A nearby competitor offers the same price daily during daily happy hour with larger, more elevated flatbreads so the main pulls here for us are the staff, beers, games, and location. Btw, they have Trivia Tuesdays at this location! read more

It's the hot spot in the 'hood! Enjoy views of the lake while you enjoy an ice cold beverage. I would say come here if you want to sample cervezas on tap because they have it all! They will let you sample before you try as well. Perfect place to come unwind in the summer on the weekends. And let's talk food! They've got the grub. If you want something on the lighter side I suggest the pecan chicken salad or a flatbread. They do have your typical bar food like wings (love the garlic and parm), fries etc as well. I enjoy ordering the beer cheese when I come with a group of people. They used to have an amazing mac and cheese but I believe they have taken it off of the menu. Bring it back please! I so enjoyed that as a decadent item with bacon, it was nice and hearty. This is a place you could come by yourself or with peeps to enjoy. The servers are chill but very friendly. I believe they also do things like trivia nights, live music etc but overall the vibe is very kick back and chill. So I come here when I want just that! Plenty of parking as well in the garage and along the street. Prime people watching situation also. read more

Absolutely delicious root beer on tap that has a sugar cane flavor. Not too much carbonation but just the right amount. Not overly sweet but the perfect amount.

The Ginger Man - Brownie & ice cream - Beer Bar Near Me - Irving, Texas

Last night was my first time eating here, it reminds me of a Pub like restaurant that I frequently use to eat at back home in Okc. The area that it is in is really beautiful and lively. There are a lot of other restaurants near by and and ice cream place next door. It is right next to the water, which I'm sure is a great view and experience during spring or summer. I ordered the Moscow mule, that I very much enjoyed. We wanted to order the stuffed jalapeños but they were out, which just means I'll have to go back to try them lol. I ordered the Buffalo chicken sliders, they were so cute and delicious, there was a sauce that came on it that I was not a big fan of but I also added the spicy ranch on top so it all balanced out. For dessert my friend and I shared the brownie with vanilla ice cream, definitely cute my sweet tooth! Our waitress was attentive and checked on us ever so often. All other staff seemed nice, the placed was more packed than I expected but the vibes and environment where chill and relaxing so I understood why. They have a happy hour that I can't wait to try out, they have a lot of beer, wine and drink options on the menu. read more

Where to begin? So excited to try this place hoping it would resemble a beer garden, but boy was I wrong. First off, the service was horrible. Hostess was zoned out and did not even ask how many people to seat when we walked in. We stood there for almost 3 minutes in awkward silence before I said HELLO. She then lazily cleared a table and seemed annoyed that we chose one outside that she had to clean. The waitress was worse, to my surprise. I literally had to stand up and get our own napkins and cutlery from the hostess station. Slow is an understatement when it comes to the service here. We were here well over an hour and only had 2 beers because she never came back. BTW if you want water, apparently you have to ask for it 3 times and never receive it. Food was horrible. The only thing that we finished was the grilled cheese, mostly because my son was starving. The charcuterie board was basically Walmart cold cuts and planters nuts. The fish and chips were REFRIED. Ya that's right, re fried food. The grilled cheese was not even warm or melt and the salad was prepackaged it seemed. Lastly, how the heck do you pride yourself on having a great beer selection when you're out of everything and the beer isn't even cold. Can't wait to see what opens up here when they shut down. read more

The newest rendition of The Ginger Man is in a great location along the lake with a decently large outdoor seating area wrapping around the outside. There is ample parking in the surrounding lots & garages, and it's a 5 minute walk from the Las Colinas Urban Center DART station. The building itself is tucked away in a new mixed-use development and isn't quite as cozy as some of the other Ginger Man locations, but outdoor seating along the waterfront should be enticing enough. The main draw here is the expansive beer selection, and it does not disappoint in the regard. We were pleased to notice that most specialty beers we sampled arrived in a branded glasses from the brewery. I've been lucky enough to get great service on the patio during my visits (shoutout to John for his attentiveness & recommendations), but I have noticed that there seems to some processes & service areas that could be improved; I'll chalk it up to growing pains as the establishment settles into its new digs. I am looking forward to seeing this pub flourish in this area, and I am sure that I will be visiting again to sample more of the beer rotation. read more

Came here for a happy hour, they can section a space off for you, nice open to the little water pond that's over here. Big drink menu, but will say their appetizers were just your run of the mill stuff, but not that big on flavor. Still a nice place to grab a quick drink. read more

I loved everything about this place. The people were so friendly to me, I came in and was very nervous because it was my very first time going into a pub alone without my husband or a friend. I instantly fell in love with the ambiance! The scenery was breathtaking, I could have sat there for hours. I was visiting from Las Vegas on a work trip. I came very under dressed and because the wind picked up my hair was such a mess lol I thought I would be judged because it's a very nice upscale place. I was treated very respectfully and I felt welcomed. I couldn't stop raving about this place so much that my husband and I came home and booked a trip at the hotel across the street. Can not wait to show him my new "spot!" Thank you all so very much for the love everyone you MUST try!!! read more

I just moved to the Las Colinas area and figured I would check out the local spots. When I seen the ginger man on yelp it looked like a dive bar spot which I'm not opposed to so I decided to give it a shot upon arrival I realize this place was much nicer than I thought it would be it's right on the water of Lake Carolyn and has a great view from the outside sitting area. Inside we were greeted by the staff. We chose to sit at the bar (I'm just more of a bar person) They had a special mystery beer and I decided to give it a try. The beer was only three dollars and was so great we also ordered an appetizer of loaded waffle fries which were pretty good too I personally would've liked some spice with it like jalapeños, but that's just a personal preference. I would definitely come back and have more drinks. They have such a wide selection of craft beers. Would definitely recommend this place read more

I came here to drink so not going to be able to provide you with my normal food demolisher perspective. The service here is always friendly and a great place where they won't forget your name. It's kinda an airport version of what used to be an uptown Dallas masterpiece. The ambiance in uptown was an old Dallas house, lots of beer, 2 star food, and friendly people everywhere. Drink with your friends and have a good time don't take the food seriously and it won't disappoint. RIP Gingerman uptown glad there is still some of that spirit alive in this little nook. read more
