    Happy hour starts at 3pm weekdays. The Pear & Prosciutto Flatbread was absolutely amazing! Will definitely be coming back and ordering this again!! The raspberry martini was a little to sweet for my liking, the Moscow mule is absolutely delicious

    What an amazing experience . Thank you to our waiter who made great recommendations from appetizers , drinks , entrees , to desserts. 10/10 Meet a family member from out of town and they loved the feel made us so relaxed while we ate and drank .

    Great brunch selection! Friendly service. Check out their daily happy hour menu (food and drinks).

    My husband and I came to the Thirsty Lion near Grandscape and were so pleasantly surprised! This location is super clean, spacious, and has great, inviting lighting. We stopped in for a couple of drinks and tried the Lion Lemonade and the Hibiscus Vodka Breeze--both were absolutely delicious and very refreshing! On top of the great drinks, the staff was friendly, there was plenty of seating available, and parking was a breeze. We didn't eat this time around, but we will definitely be back to try the food!

    The queso appetizer was good, but needed more salt. Some of the chips were also stale. The wings had a yummy buffalo sauce and the ranch was almost too garlicky. The salmon was undercooked too much and needed more salt. The jasmine rice and veggies were great though. The Tuscan Romano chicken was crispy, but didn't have enough beurre blanc on it. The noodles were very tasty though and was more like a Mac n cheese in my opinion. The brownie dessert was not quality and disappointing. The apple crumble though was very good.

    I loved the Thirsty Lion in Dallas and the hubs wanted to try it so we came to this location for dinner. Our server was friendly and we started with cocktails. We ordered the Pad Thai and the fish and chips. Both were delicious! We would definitely return again!

    I wanted to try the dessert in person this time - I do deeply enjoy it because of the cinamon-pecan streusel topping. I gave it 4 stars because there was less than what I had previously but still absolutely delicious. The salted caramel sauce and apple glaze made the dessert a bit soup-y though. I didn't mind but it was a lot of sugar haha. The staff was super friendly and quick to help, points for that! The vibes are mostly the adult crowd and sometimes with kids there's bar seating, outdoor seating, and table seating. Good luck with the parking, it's in grandscape so come early

    Way too salty!!

    Had lunch here with 4 co-workers. Food: Calamari was ok, just your average fried calamari. Grilled beef sliders were decent, apps all came out pretty quickly. Main dishes: Rueben - pretty good Steak Salad- steak was cooked perfectly Fish and chips- a little oily and over cooked Kung Pao Chicken - presentation was nice, but the chicken dry and the sauce was so salt forward I could not eat more than half of it- flavor not that great either. Service was slower than expected, had to hunt down the waitress a few times. Probably won't be back with so many options at Grandscape.

    The service was very good. Our waitress was very polite and helpful with the menu choices. The food was great. The atmosphere was nice. We would definitely be going back.

    We came here during St. Patrick's Day and had such a great experience. The bacon potato patties were so good, and the spicy sausage and prosciutto flatbread was definitely a favorite too. We sat outside on the patio, and the weather was amazing, which made the views even better. Service was also wonderful. We forgot our server's name, but she was incredibly accommodating and made the whole experience even better. Would definitely come back.

    It was a good time with family. Our server was patient and attentive. I forget his name, but a tall black guy, answered questions and served our party of 13 with care. I had the cauliflower and salmon cakes. Both were tasty.

    Harvest bowl (I think?) - recommended

    I had put off trying this place because of the so-so overall rating. My wife had been here once with friends and vouched for it, and im glad she did! It was hopping when we arrived on a Saturday evening, without a reservation. Super happy to have gotten a 2-top upstairs without a wait. Upstairs is cool, btw - definitely not a downgrade from the main area downstairs. And when it's NOT winter, they have a rooftop patio with access to the upstairs bar! Emily took GREAT care of us. Super personable and very genuine. My wife and I both had the harvest bowl (think that's what it was called?) and it was awesome. Loaded with healthy stuff yet managed to be tasty - I mean, unless you're craving a burger or nachos, etc, ha ha. Dry January is no fun, so I did try a mocktail. Always risky. The NA old fashioned was... interesting, but... okay at best. Just didn't hit the spot for what I wanted. But frankly, I've never had a cocktail that did, so... I didn't ding the rating. I should have gone with a Heineken Zero. Looking forward to coming back after Dry January!

    The burgers are awesome cooked to order. Love the homemade fries. Had supper on the porch with daughter and ESA doggy Ashley Bear. Ashley Bear got his burger patty to go. Our server was Krissy she was great and Ashley Bear friendly.

    Ask the Community - Thirsty Lion

    What does upstairs bar area look like?

    Has high top tables for eating. A nice bar large bar. Lots of windows. I recommend it because it's quieter and you have to be 18 to eat upstairs.

    Is it loud?

    It can be. When I went, I sat upstairs near the patio are. The sound wasn't too loud there. You can hear the person across from you just fine.

    Do they offer gluten free buns etc?

    We have gluten free options but gluten free buns we do not.

    Is there a wait for thirsty Lion Gastropub?

    If there are people waiting, then yes there is. If not, then no there isn't.

We sat on the patio, which is very well situated for the heat. We caught a beautiful sunset and the temps were pleasant. We started out with the buffalo cauliflower and it was perfect. I was afraid it was going to be too spicy for me and it wasn't! Great flavor and very well done. I had the chicken fried chicken with the jalapeño gravy on the side. The chicken was pounded thin, which was surprising. It still managed to be moist and had good spices. I ended up using more of the gravy due to the good taste. It came with mashed potatoes and I subbed out for mixed veggies. The veggies were crisp and fresh; better than I expected. We had the bread pudding and carrot cake for dessert. The bread pudding had buffalo trace whiskey instead of rum sauce. Everyone at our table agreed it was one of the best we'd had. The carrot cake was good but unremarkable. There was a musician playing, which contributed to the great atmosphere. This was a hit and we'll definitely be back!

The Meatballs al Forno was my favorite...packed with flavor and perfect for enjoying with friends over drinks. The Heirloom Tomato Burrata was okay however, the tomatoes didn't seem ripe and were hard and chewy. The Lobster in a Jar was tasty - on the pricey side if you ask me though... One of my favorite things about this spot is the ambiance. The lighting is low (and by low I am flat out dark where you almost can't see your hand in front of your face), creating a dark, cozy, and intimate atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and unwind after a long day. Whether you're catching up with friends, enjoying a date night, or simply looking for a place to escape for a few hours, the vibe here is spot on. The service was fantastic as well. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed, which only added to the experience. Tiki Tuesday has officially become one of my favorite weekly traditions.
