The Saloon Baby

I absolutely love The Hideaway! I don't get to go out very often, but when I do make it over here,…read moreit's always such a nice experience. It's nowhere near me, but I still enjoy making the trip because I always feel welcomed. I especially love the live music and the vibes. It's laid-back, comfortable, and unpretentious, with that neighborhood hangout feeling that can be hard to find. The patio is great, the food and drinks hit the spot, and it's just a fun place to relax and enjoy yourself. If you want something chill with a neighborhood hangout vibe, this is the place. Whether I'm listening to the live music, having a drink, or just enjoying the atmosphere, I always have a good time. Definitely one of my favorite Houston spots.

It is very small inside and they try to crowd in as many seats as possible so it's hard to get through them when crowded. The bathrooms are bar bathrooms, sooo.... The best menu item I have had and will always get when in the area, their potato wedges. I take them togo too and after a 30 minute drive they're still great and massive.

It's typically a pretty good place to go you just have to know that some nights they will have…read moreleague nights so the pool tables will be taken. Sometimes there's weirdos in there just being obnoxious but if you're lucky they will leave you alone. Sometimes you get lucky and there's food but if you go at night it's probably been sitting out all day so I would not recommend eating it at that point. I will say that the bartender I have had a slight problem because depending on which one it is if you go and try to close out or get a drink she will get the order for the woman before the man even if they're there at the same time. Because me and my husband's friend each went to go close at our tabs before all of us left and she closed out my tab before she even got his and after she handed me my receipt to sign she walked off and started pouring more drinks which is honestly honestly rude.

It's pretty much a dive bar in the middle of the West U area. There's billiards, darts, and other games. It almost feels like an old house transformed into a watering hole The bar itself is mostly fully stocked. They have plenty of beer on tap and they can certainly whip up a cocktail for you The staff were friendly and professional enough. The drinks were made with care and in a timely manner. I will say a handful of our cocktails tasted "off" like the French 75 tasted nothing like a French 75. It may have been the gin, but it just wasn't at all refreshing. Also, the drinks themselves were pricey for what the experience and quality is Some tips: Play darts while you're there. Normally bar darts look like they've seen better days and they're barely hanging on, but these ones were actually clutch They are known for their Texas Teas, and they're so strong that they have a 3 Tea Maximum rule Theres typically plenty of parking, but as always, when going to bars or for a nightcap I recommend using ride share programs Cheers!

Unfortunately, the experience was nothing like a sports bar. The music was blaring so loudly it felt more like a nightclub -- you couldn't enjoy the game, and you couldn't even have a conversation at the table.Several guests asked the manager on duty to turn the volume down so people could actually watch the games, and he refused, saying people were "paying to listen to the jukebox."It's disappointing to have a neighborhood spot that use to be a great place to watch sports but doesn't prioritize the actual sports experience. We won't be back for games. So much for having a cool sports bar nearby.

The atmosphere is oozing with positive vibes. KeeKee is a Ruby of house potality, and Pookey is a gentleman. Really genuine people who love what they are doing. They are always willing to take a moment for a photo for me. A-1 customer service. When I enter it is like I am amongst family. Jello shots are 2/$1.00 I love the flavor of watermelon. If you do to, I highly recommend The Adrenaline Rush. Coupled with a couple of watermelon jello shots. They take orders, jello shots for parties. Possibly more. Ask to find out. Once again this is the best Daiquiri establishment in town. Try them, I guarantee you you will come back for more. Do not forget to ask for a rewards card. Much appreciation to Kiki and crew... For a dynamic establishment. See you soon.

Sean, Kat and the team remembers your order and have great customer service. The menu here is vast and good, we had Caitlin explain the menu one day and what a well rounded and thought out pub menu.

They have fantastic wings and an IPA that resonates to all IPA drinkers, I can say, I have drunk many different ones to count (lived in SOCAL for some time) and attended many BeerFests. They have more than 30+ televisions and show mostly sports and some other programs. They also feature a jukebox, darts, a cigarette vending machine, video golf, and other digital bar games that require a tablet to play. This is a neighborhood establishment that values thier guests and shows it.
