Great futbol pub with a fun atmosphere on the times I've been. The service has always been solid here even during busy times. (easy to get a drink thanks to the waitstaff circulating the floor) The beer selection is consistently good, and the overall vibe gives you that classic British pub feel, reminiscent of the Sherlock/Baker Street pubs I frequent back in the day. That said, the food was a letdown for me on this most recent visit. I tried out their fish and chips (even upgraded to the extra filet), and unfortunately it was one of the worst I've had. And that's coming from someone who's tried plenty of pub food around Houston. It was mostly thick batter, overly greasy and soggy, and the fries underneath weren't fresh, just limp and bland. It didn't feel like it was made to order or wasn't made with care at all.. Overall, it's still a decent spot to catch a game and grab a pint. Parking can get tight during peak hours, but the solid service and lively crowd make it a decent hangout for match day. read more

For a sports bar, the food is pretty good. I first came here on a whim for one of their food specials, and now I've been back twice! The service is definitely on the slow side, but they have an ordering app now that makes things a lot easier. Not everything on the menu is great, but there are quite a few things that are really tasty. I would NOT recommend ANY of the burgers -- the meat was bland and just not enjoyable. On the flip side, the Bavarian pretzel is amazing. It's fluffy, perfectly salted, and comes with a spicy queso that's smooth and has just the right amount of kick. 11/10. I also really like the chicken fried chicken. It comes with two sides, the gravy is delicious, and it's super filling. Not the best choice if you're looking for something light, but the flavor makes it worth it. 9/10. The fish and chips are solid too. Even the small portion is big, with a crispy beer batter and light, flaky fish inside. Comes with all the classic sauces, and honestly, it's comparable to traditional British fish and chips. 9/10. Overall, the atmosphere isn't really my favorite, but it works if you want to watch a game and grab some good food. With weekly specials and reasonable prices, it's definitely worth checking out. read more

What can I say, The Phoenix is a staple in the area. They have a respectable beer selection, consistent service, and better than expected food. If you're looking to catch a game (especially soccer, aka football in some subpar countries ;) ), this is a solid option. Everytime I have food here, I'm pleasantly surprised at how much I like it. Hint: you definitely wanna try their pub-esque items, as these are their staples. read more

My go to pub for a good meal, a reasonable bottle of wine, and excellent sports viewing selection and even better company. The staff here is excellent! They know my name, know my regular orders and have my starter drink (club soda) ready in hand before I even take a seat. I heart them! There is plenty of variety of food options, from regular pub fare, vegan, daily specials and desserts, and unique pop-up choices from time to time. My favorite regular meals right now are the dancing beef, blackened catfish, and huevos rancheros, while some of the excellent pop ups are Fried Chicken frydays and bahn mi. The owner is a gem and supports the local community on numerous occasions. Vu is a rockstar and takes patron feedback seriously. And finally the patios are dog friendly. Love The Phoenix! read more

Thoroughly surprised. I came here (I'll admit a little hesitantly) with friends last night 11.22.25, for a quick bite to eat and some drinks. I've heard about this place but have only been once many years ago because the food was typical bar food. After dining here last night the food has changed dramatically from the last time I remember. The menu is amazing! I love that it's not your typical bar food. The prices are great and portions are good. I will have to start becoming a regular here! Can't remember our servers name, a short Hispanic female but she was great too! Kudos to the person in charge of the menu! read more

This place is a great hangout spot (especially for sports, tho the parking might get a little cramped), and definitely has good pub vibes. When it gets busy service can be a little tight, but I've never had a waitress whom I disliked. The beer selection is always notable for us, but this is actually a hidden gem if you're vegan - their righteous wrap is AWESOME, the Impossible Pasta is fantastic when you sub out the gluten free pasta, and it s hard to go wrong with the burger. Any place with a Plant Based section of the menu is a welcome bonus to us. A great triple threat! read more

surprisingly good food for a pub! they have daily specials and i love their peach cobbler

Food is so good, the karage chicken was absolutely amazing!!! Nice and juicy and crispy paired with spicy mayo oooooo highly recommend and will be getting this again! The sausage rolls are also so yummy - tastes good with spicy mayo as well. My second time trying those :) The service was quick - our waitress didn't really seem that happy or maybe that's just her personality - she didn't do anything wrong, just didn't seem happy ;/ Ambiance is nice and chill! read more

Food: Pretty good for bar food! We didn't expect much but were pleasantly surprised! On the first visit we had grilled cheese sticks, chicken piccata and bacon Mac. The second time we had a chicken wrap and bacon Mac. All were pretty good! Service: It was decent, a bit slow at certain times but nothing absurd. Ambiance: Chill, divey bar atmosphere. Will return! read more

The jalapeño chicken and chicken curry are both very good! Nice beer selection and plenty of TVs

The burger for $8 was phenomenal. The thick patty was cooked to perfection. Asked for medium and it was the perfect temperature. Well seasoned and delicious. The size was nice. Finished half of it. Fries were also fried to crispy goodness. Friendly fast service. Will definitely return. read more

I was in a mood for a salad late in the evening and I was surprised at how good the House Garden salad was. If the dressing in not home made, it is certainly delicious. They also introduced me to Tupps Evil Dankster American IPA, which is as good a pint as you will find in this country. read more

It was a Sunday afternoon in the City of Houston. Missy and I were cruising down Westheimer Road hunting the 49ers@LA Rams game. We hit the brakes for the Phoenix rising in-front of us. Not only was this joint right down the road from our Air BnB, but they were having a parking lot party! A fried rice cook off challenge! The food challenge was popping and lots of good times were being had. Missy and I rolled into this pub and found a nice booth. I was impressed with the interior pub feel and energy. Evan our server swung by the table and took our order for three appetizer picks. The appetizer spread was served and damn. I thought all of them were extremely tasty! My favorite however was the Chicken Kaarage with spicy mayo sauce!!! Irish Nachos and waffle fries were also great, and the chicken tenders are just a staple to have on the table. Evan our server was a hard worker checking in on us and refilling us when needed. The Phoenix Pub Grub was amazing tasty. They even have Brunch and a menu for your dogs! The Phoenix is a great English style pub for food and drink when on Westheimer. read more

We found this place on accident and wow! I can't wait to go back! The food was so good and not your typical bar food. It was gourmet and fresh and well priced. I highly recommend! It has the feel of a British Pub more than a typical bar and grill. read more

Awesome food. Great service. If they have their bahn mi pop up, buy two for dinner and 7 for the next day. SO GOOD! They always have different blackboard specials everyday so make sure you check those out! read more

It was around 11pm and me and my friend were looking for a dog friendly restaurant that was open late and we were very lucky to find this spot. It's very hard to find a late night dog friendly spot! They have a little patio out back with just one big table and we had the whole patio to ourselves. You'll have to walk into the restaurant to get their attention and let them know you're outside though. Fried cauliflower was crispy with a nice thin batter. Pulled pork tacos were alright, but they were a little on the saltier side. My friend got the blackened fish and she said it was a little salty as well. We had the best servers when we went that night (2/22/23). Our dogs got treated like queens, which made me very happy. One of the guys came out probably around 3 times to give our dogs treats that they really liked and water. We also ordered off the doggy menu and got grilled hamburger patties for them. Phenomenal service. They probably checked up on us around 5-6 times that night. read more

I was there to watch a World Cup game. They have heaters and a TV outside. I ordered cauliflower tacos. They lacked cauliflower but were bursting with onions. They're really not too flavorful. The green sauce they're served with is over the top spicy. Despite the crowds, the bathrooms were clean. read more

Came here to watch the Super Bowl and had a great time! The atmosphere of the bar is very cozy and welcoming. They offer a wide drink selection; there's bound to be something you would love whether you're into beer, wine, cocktails, or shots. The food was also really impressive! It was good quality classic bar food: fried, snacky, and flavorful. The highlight was definitely the bread pudding--highly recommend if you're looking for something sweet! read more

If their fare was free, then it would be the Fee-Nixed, because all fees would be nixed. But it's not. Any public house (that's a pub by the way) English food is going to be up for heavy criticism if it's not top notch, and intense scrutiny from me because I grew up on this stuff, and lately, especially outside the UK, nobody really knows how to make it. Having said that I would also give them 4 stars for the fact that they show Premier League soccer games, which is awesome, and that they generally do a really good job as a local pub. And while I'm not fond of too many Texas bars, this is one that I would definitely use in future. read more

I really love this place. It is one of my regular places that I come to very often. I wish that I knew the name of my waiter, but she's a little short woman but I love her so much! She is my fave waiter. I have nothing to worry about, I don't have to ask twice, I don't have to check in, She's super attentive and personally I want her before anyone else. Aside from that though, the place is amazing. There's been a few times where we come in and we suggest a certain game. They usually have no problem turning the game on. it's just overall cool. I usually go at night but they do have a menu for pets that are available so it is a pet friendly establishment. The ambience of the facility it's super cool. It's a low light so it's not too bright at all especially at night when I go. if you are looking for a sportsbar home especially for sports outings or sporting events I would definitely suggest this place. read more

Good place to watch soccer games. The ordering system is great as you can order your drinks and food by scanning a barcode on the table so you don't have to wait for a server to take your order. The food quality is good but overpriced as expected from a sports bar. The parking lot can fill up quick but there is street parking nearby. read more

The food here is fantastic. We love the fish and chips. Huge portion for a great price. Their wings are also very good. We love coming and sharing a comfy booth. But seriously, best fish and chips we've had that was not in England. PS- bring back the spinach dip read more

Frankly, I suppose I'm old enough to remember when it was Firkin & Phoenix, so I suppose this review could be coloured slightly. While the staff is decent at serving, the prices left something to be desired relative to similar establishments in the area. Also I find that large chair outside obnoxious and frankly feels like a 'try hard'. Would I go again, sure if others wish too, but definitely not going out of my way, read more

This has been my favorite spot for years. Solid food, staff is excellent, and the atmosphere can't be beat. It's chill but lively, there's a pool table and arcade games, plus lots of sports. One of the best spots to decompress. Bailey is the best. read more

Great service and really great food. Comfortable place for the whole family. The fried catfish is to die for

Had a great time, watching the Astros game here today! Ate some delicious food and had really good cocktails! The service was good too! We sat outside and it was really nice. Inside looked fun! This may just become a regular place this fall! read more

I highly recommend the burger. There are two but get the one with the bacon jam. Truly delicious. Meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Service is good and they have a app that you can order and pay through so service is even faster. There are several other dishes I like. Dancing beef quesadillas also delish. read more

Been coming to the Phoenix for over 4 years now. HUGE fan of many things: The awesome staff, the beer and wine selection, the menu mostly made from scratch, but today I discovered they have finally added guacamole toast to their brunch menu and it is perfection! Pro tip: add bacon! read more

Came on a weekday evening, it was a slow night. Bartender was attentive. Beer selection wasn't huge but the craft beer selection they had on draft was good. Pretzel app was good - I'm not certain but it seemed like it was topped with garlic salt instead of the typical coarse pretzel salt. The hot chicken sandwich was excellent - fresh bun, fresh veggies, chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was good. The fresh cut fries were also very good. I'm not going to hold this against them but the menu seemed a bit confusing - it seemed like they didn't really have a consistent theme throughout. But honestly who cares if they can execute it all well? I'll return to try more of the menu. read more

I picked up some take out from the Phoenix the other day due to the Coronavirus! I tried the fish and chips on this visit, and it was fantastic. The fish fillets literally filled up the whole box. They were enormous. Perfectly fried on the outside and soft on the inside. It came with the most delicious tartar sauce. It also came with heaping amounts of fries. I couldn't walk straight after eating everything. I highly recommend this spot! Food is great and the server was really friendly and welcoming. read more

Great pub with excellent selection of beers and totally vegan friendly. Try the Vegan Street Tacos! Great place to catch a beer and really great food.

This is not only a great watering hole to catch a great soccer or football game with a great diverse group of people but has some of the best food a pub has to offer. Ask for Ari, she's great!

Best things about this restaurant: super chill, relaxed, great service and management, great weekly specials, great place to watch soccer, great place to watch Astros (this is where we watched the Astros win the World Series!!!) and an amazing burger! I love the vibe of this place most of all. It's super chill and relaxed. It does get busy during soccer games and other major sports games, but if you get here a little early, you can find a seat. It can also be fun to stand though, especially during a big game! Their food and food specials are awesome. I love the 50 cent wing night, and the fried chicken night! Their cheeseburger is one of my favorites in Houston! They will cook it to order and has lots of pickles and is tender juicy and an excellent price. They also do trivia one night of the week... I think it's Wednesday or Tuesday. But if that interests you, I would double check via their page. I really can't find anything about this place that I don't like! Lots of regulars and many of the waitresses have been working there a long time. Only thing I can figure is that means it must be a pretty good place to work! Always a good time when we come here. read more

Started coming her recently with one of my buddies for the euros. This is a fantastic pub for soccer games. I love the QR codes on the table to order drinks so you don't have to miss any of the action going back and forth from the bar.
