Good neighborhood dive bar. Appreciate the wide range of patrons - age, ethnicity, etc. Nothing fancy or upscale here. Really tasty food with good dinner and lunch specials. Affordable drinks. Usually one bartender scheduled.

Awesome jams

The service was great, very attentive with guests and your needs on your night out. Unfortunately I was a bit late for the food service, but I've heard good things from it all. Over all people were great, good music good drinks, definitely one of my favorites here in Houston

I read about this gem in The Houston Press and had to check it out. It's a cute and quaint bar frequented by regulars who have been coming here for many years. This place is so unassuming because it's located in a sketchy neighborhood. We started with an ice cold Corona served by the friendly bartender, Kara, with a K. We met a new friend named Jojo who has been coming here for years and gave us the low down about the bar. This is Houston's best kept secret. When the Astros play, they serve $2 hamburgers, we got 3, they were homemade and so delicious! We also had the Monte Cristo sandwich and it was amazing. We had so much fun visiting this bar and plan on coming back. The ambiance was lively, lots of people talking, laughing and having fun. They have pool tables and games that you can enjoy. We definitely plan on coming back!

Good food. Cheap drinks and friendly patrons. What else do you want from Irish pub? Try the daily specials and the bacon burger.

Great location in Bellaire with plenty of parking. The restaurant is large with indoor and outdoor…read moreseating as well as a bar area with 3 televisions. The Orchard Chicken & Apple Salad was delicious and made to order... the grilled chicken was steaming when it came out which was a nice touch. My friend ordered the Poblano Chicken entree which came with green beans and mashed potatoes & he really liked it. Our waitress was polite, and the place was very clean. I would recommend it for brunch, lunch or dinner.

I have one very important question... where has this place been hiding?!…read more Because how am I just now discovering a pot roast this good? The kind that tastes like someone's grandma has been back there cooking all day with love and zero shortcuts. The pot roast was tender, flavorful, and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth. The green beans were perfectly seasoned, the mashed potatoes were rich and comforting, and yes... I treated myself to two onion rings and I regret absolutely nothing because they were worth every bite. This meal felt like comfort food done right -- hearty, homemade, and exactly what your soul needs after a long day. The portions were generous, the flavors were spot on, and now I'm honestly wondering how many times I've driven past this hidden gem without stopping. Safe to say I'll definitely be back... and next time I might need more than two onion rings.

I can't haven't been to this neighborhood bar sooner--it's tucked away in the corner of a shopping…read morecenter and such a great spot. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, a full bar, and really good food. It's kid and dog friendly, has several TVs for watching games, and even games to play while you're there. They also run daily specials, which you can find on their website. I stopped in on a weeknight and the place had a nice crowd.....clearly a local favorite. I ordered the truffle fries for a quick bite and they were delicious. Overall, it's a welcoming spot and I'll definitely be back. Love this neighborhood bar!

Stopped by Tipsy Tavern after leaving another nearby bar hoping for a better experience, but…read moreunfortunately this visit was even more uncomfortable. Our group walked in and sat at the bar while two other guests sat nearby. The bartender immediately took the other guests' order first, then casually asked us "what do y'all want" while continuing to move around behind the bar. My friend paused because it genuinely wasn't clear if the bartender was listening to us, and the bartender responded with attitude saying, "I'm listening." When my friend ordered a Hugo Spritz, the bartender responded with "what?" and then said she only knew an Aperol Spritz. That's completely fine, not everyone knows every cocktail, but the interaction became unnecessarily rude from there. Instead of simply asking about the ingredients politely, she came back with an attitude asking us to look it up for her, and then became defensive saying "I don't know what the issue is" even though nobody had complained or created a problem. The entire interaction just felt dismissive and unwelcoming. We ended up leaving almost immediately because the energy was so uncomfortable. Hospitality and attitude matter just as much as the drinks, and unfortunately this experience missed the mark completely.
