Brewery #397 Under the Radar is a very small neighborhood style brewery. Lots of people just cycling and walking up to get a pint. I got my usual flight and for a small brewery, they had a solid sized selection of 14 different styles. I got a Hazy IPA, a Kolsch, a stout and a rice lager. The Hazy Town was my favorite, but I really liked the Koln Kolsch too. They also had a refrigerator for soft drinks and a few different nonalcoholic which was great for my buddy who no longer drinks. Most of the seating is outside but most of the seats are in the shade. The beertender (is that a word...it should be) was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely be a regular if I lived nearby. read more

Stop # 3 on the #Fifty-FiveTXBreweriesBy55Tour. Excellent! Every beer delicious. Lots of outdoor seating. Don't tel St A, but the Raspberry Love raspberry hefe here is so good! The Luck It Irish Red has more weight than some Irish Reds, but in the best way. The Basti Bear Milk Stout is perfection. 2112 Black IPA, just 6.7 ABV, it's a powerful drink. The Jubilee Kolsch was enjoyable. The perfect go-to. read more

I'm a big fan of The Office and when I found out Under the Radar was having a trivia night based on one of the greatest shows ever, I had to jump on it. Until this point, Under The Radar was not on my radar, no pun intended. It's been around for awhile so they must be doing something right. Parking is very limited and most likely you will have to find street parking. Since it was a popular trivia night, they place was packed. From what I saw it was mostly outdoor seating but they have lots of trees to provide shade. I did see some indoor space but not much. The staff was friendly and helpful, even with the large crowds bombarding them that day. I'm guessing it was a third party hosting the trivia, but they did a solid job too. Drink wise, I had a couple of beers on my visit. I started off light with the Dirty Blonde. It's a perfect summer drink as it is light and refreshing. My second drink was the Port Authority which is a porter. It's a dark beer but it drank smooth and had just the right amount of hops. Any hoppier and I probably wouldn't like it. I tried a few sips of my crew's brews and I liked mostly everything I tried. Overall, this is a solid spot. For me, it'll be a fall to spring kind of place to visit simply because I'm not about sitting outside in the summer months unless it's dark out. Good beer though that I would love to have again! read more

We visited Under the Radar during the World Cup and had an absolutely fantastic time. Our visit came just after Canada's loss to Morocco, so I felt a mix of pride and disappointment. Despite the result, the Moroccan supporters were nothing but class. Herb is an absolute legend. We shared a great conversation about beer, Alberta, and the Calgary Flames, which made the visit even more memorable. The beer, the food, the team, the atmosphere, and the hospitality (even in the Texas heat) were all exceptional. Thank you, Herb! read more

Under the Radar Brewery - Beer Flight - Brewpubs Near Me - Houston, Texas

True to their name, they're a pretty low key brewery hidden away in a neighborhood and I was surprised to find out they've been there for some while now! I don't drink much beer nowadays so it's always a treat to get one when I do and their grapefruit IPA was pretty tasty and packed a little punch too which was nice. I'm not sure what the food situation is there usually but the night we were there they had a pop-up gumbo vendor. The only negative was that on the day I was there, there was just so much mud everywhere. I know it was a rainy day but given that they are an outdoor place, they they probably need more gravel or something to keep the mud at bay. I'm not sure what's going on next door and whether that's part of their property but it looked like some construction was going on so the mud from there was all on the sidewalk too so it was just a little messy that night. They do have a covered tent and a heater however. read more

Great spot get beers but really hot!! Some cooler insulation would be great or mist spray outside would be amazing! Other than that it's a cool spot probably best to come in the evening when the sun is setting. Cool spot over all. read more

Trivia: What large metal object is located next to the corn hole boards? (Hint, it represents their namesake). Service was a little odd. And by odd, I mean uninterested. Not helpful. Not interested in answering questions. Very matter-o-fact. The service was almost rendered moot by the Biergarten. It was amazing. So much seating and so many cool trees providing shade and a delightfully relaxing ambiance. It's almost possible to forget you are so close to busy roads and traffic (which you can still hear). The beer was above average. I wasn't blown away, but I wasn't unhappy. It felt like I was drinking something that was purposefully put together. That it had thought AND brewing experience behind it. I think I might have found a beer that better suited my personal tastes, but again, the service was very uninterested. When I prodded with questions, the answers were simple, vague, quiet. It was weird. Food was being set up while we were there. It looked like it was going to be a winner, but we were on our way before they officially began serving. Maybe next time! read more

Got two four packs to-go and it was almost $50. Both beers were ok. Regret stopping in for to-go beer without first trying the beer

Such an awesome little micro brewery hidden near Montrose area. Very small area to sit inside so if you go, it would be a good idea to go on a nice day. Pretty open outdoor area with picnic tables. There was only one heated lamp outside when we went but is didn't give off too much heat when lit. Not a huge variety of beer but the ones that they do offer are pretty awesome. Great pictures with their giant radar! read more

I love this little spot! I come here a lot now for trivia and always have a good time. The trivia is fun and quick and they have added prizes for best dressed, which I think is unique and so fun! They don't have a super extensive selection, but they do have a good variety. My favorite is probably the Radar Love (Hefewizen), but there is also a raspberry, some IPAs and Porters . . . something for all the beer lovers in your life! They have special releases as well. They have food vendors often, but you can also BYO-food. Dog friendly! Parking lot is small, but there is plenty of street parking and never an issue. It is all outdoors, but they have some tents up and heat lamps now. As long as you're dressed for the weather you should be comfortable. Come check this place out and grab some yummy draft or to go beers! read more

Absolutely loved this place! The large beer selection was great. I tried a few different beers and loved them all. The atmosphere is incredible with all of their outdoor picnic tables and group seatings. Unique little spot! read more

The drinks and the people are always welcoming and willing to let you try any of the brews before you go pick your one. The vibe is nice and quiet in the surrounding neighborhood area. Dogs are welcome and it's outdoor so make sure to come when it's not blistering hot! In the Fall and Winter, I enjoy this spot more as the stronger brews come to town from the owner and head brewer! Go check out a local H-Town brewery! Cheers! read more

I visited on a weekday and it was not bad. The parking is limited so I can see where on a weekend you may want to ride share or walk if you live near by. The beer is good, seems to mostly if not all local. Lots of screens and corn hole to keep you company. It is an outdoor setting so dress cool. read more

Great beer. Cool people hanging out there. Corn-hole, board games, trivia night. Oh yeah, did I mention great beer?!? As far as micro breweries go this place is a dive. It is a dive in the best way. Nothing pretentious about UTR. Ask the guys about their business and they will chat your ear off. Ask them about their process and they might enlist you to help. Go now! Drink beer! Have a blast!!! read more

Under the Radar Brewery - The bar. - Brewpubs Near Me - Houston, Texas

Just the perfect 'under the trees' cool summer Friends trivia night with $4 pint size brew. As good as it gets ?...definitely. Its a totally casual place to hang out, chat and play some games while chilling out. Cannot think of a better setting for a trivia night on Friends, especially since it was midweek. They have some great beer samplers, some fountain drinks for the non alcoholics or the designated drivers, and ofcourse the regular pint size glasses. They don't serve food, but did have a Food Truck on the grounds- which incidentally was my only disappointment- complete non-availability of anything vegetarian on that truck! Guys please get a regular vendor who serves atleast one vegan/vegetarian option. You know we are growing in numbers, don't you ? Tips : They have Bingo and various trivia nights like How I met your mother and so on. Their schedule is on the website and on facebook. Worth being checked out. If nothing else, then to taste their unique beer flavors. read more

This my second trip to the place. First was on a beer bus so I couldn't adequately gauge my experience. Not every beer is a winner, but they have some great ones. I especially liked the marzen and their Griswold Family Porter. The only reason they lose a star is because the heat. They really can't help it, but the few fans can't tame the texas heat. Great food trucks and some greats beers to choose. I will be coming back. * edit, gave them 5 STARS because the huge flight glasses! read more

I'm not usually one for breweries, but I love this spot! It has a local, neighborhood vibe, and the beer is great. But wait! That's not all-- the real sleeper here is the kombucha, which really kicks better than any other bottled or tap kombucha I've had in town. It has a great flavor profile that is really quite hard to put into words--slightly gingery, fruity, tangy? Anyway, this place is great to visit and hang out. Even if you don't like beer, the kombucha is great. I also love that there's a running club here on Thursdays--nice way to create a community! read more

Cozy brewery in the Houston Midtown neighborhood. Quality beer menu and ample outdoor seating to relax in. Service was helpful and beyond friendly. We can't wait to come back! read more

I enjoy going to this brewery, they have a lot of outdoor seating and atmosphere is nice. Beers taste pretty good, though aren't always true to their style (ex. Not all their IPAs taste like a true IPA). Looks like they are trying to put some sort of outdoor games in the yard but maybe not completed yet? Music seemed to be primarily punk rock when I was there, which isn't really my cup of tea but I don't hold it against them. Parking is abundant and they have a happy hour until 7pm. TVs available outside if you're trying to watch sports. No indoor seating, but plenty of shade outside. They often have a food truck, but it's not always there. If you're starving and the German food truck is fine, there is a really good taco truck 1 block away. read more

Tucked into a neighborhood and under the cover of string-lights on trees, Under the Radar is truly thriving under the radar. We loved everything about this brewery. We were on vacation and a storm had knocked out power to most of Houston, but this brewery was one of the lucky ones not significantly impacted. And thank goodness it wasn't impacted. We loved the staff (super welcoming), the beer (west coast IPA, kolsch), the seating options (plenty, under tent or trees), and the vibes (casual, family friendly, fun) - couldn't have asked for a better experience. We will be coming back ASAP! Don't change a thing, Under the Radar Brewery. read more

Don't come here in the cold without a warm outfit or something light during the summer. This location is all outdoors. With that said, if you come here and get upset for not knowing it's outdoors, it's on you. I came here during the winter and got upset for being cold. I then drank 3 beers back to back. I then felt warm. Then drank 3 more of their beers. Warmth and cold is just a state of drunk mind. read more

Back in May I had the best ever pale ale here. I can't remember the name and it doesn't matter because they changed the whole menu. Maybe not everyone agreed with my assessment. It's a great family and community atmosphere. read more

Great brewery in midtown Houston! It's really on the outer midtown. We found this brewery by accident when turning around to find parking for a nearby bar. We were pleasantly surprised!! They have a dedicated food truck that I have not ordered from (yet!). First visit: we came on a Saturday. The man (I think the owner) was super nice and funny and the woman pouring beer was new but very great to interact with! It was a fundraiser for "ATF/Assist the Officer". We paid a few extra bucks and got a pint glass with under the radar logo and ATF logo and four beer tokens. We stop by as often as possible when in the neighborhood. read more

I came here for the first time to watch the first game of the World Series. I got there at 715pm, thinking I wouldn't find parking or get a table, both of which I was totally wrong. There was plenty of street parking and plenty of open tables with TVs along the walls. It's outdoor seating with cute string lights, and a lot of patrons brought their dogs. Overall a very chill environment. Food was limited to one food truck (Hawgin' Time). So the cool thing is that they have a variety of unique beers on tap, and on Tuesday you literally roll a dice to see how much you pay per pint of beer. Therefore, the most you'll pay is $6, and the least you'll pay is $1. Knowing my luck, I'd probably roll a 13! Ok, but not really...I rolled a 3 and ended up paying $3 for my pint of Apple Cider Kombucha. First of all, this is probably the biggest win I've had in my life, and second of all, don't judge me for ordering Kombucha at a brewery. I freakin' loved my drink. It was lightly sweetened, very apple cider-y, tart and carbonated. I don't care what you say, I'm coming back and getting it again, even if I do end up rolling a 13. My sister ordered the flight of beers, consisting of 5 different cups that you can choose to order from the board. She got it on a Groupon deal for $16, which also came with a souvenir cup and a token for a free pint of beer. So all in all, I enjoyed my visit very much, even thought the Astros lost this game. Will definitely be back! read more

Really fun local brewery located in the center of town. The best part are all the games, both board games and organized games (Thur is bingo night AND a brewery sponsored running group that ends with free beer). There is a small brewery themed mini golf course. All of the games above are free, including bingo, board games, and rental of golf clubs and balls. The venue is great on a beautiful day. Little to no indoor seating, but there are heat lamps and a covered area. The beer selection is roughly 8 with a local kombucha. Both draft and bottled available. Really great vibe, and incredibly friendly staff. No food served, but they welcome outside food. read more

AMAZING casual outside brewery to go to on a great weather day in Houston. I came here with a Groupon (if it's still available hop on that! It's a great deal, that was one pint of beer, one flight of beer, and an under the radar glass for around $10. What a steal!! It was a great way for me to try a new brewery. And this place is great!!

This is not your typical micro brewery so get ready to expand your mind! Mini golf, board games, jazz and lounge music playing in the background. Kid approved! Dog approved! But no food, so either bring your own or enjoy the occasional food truck. The place is truly a gem in downtown Houston and is worth trying it out. Great beer! Dirty Blond, Bockaneer, Porter Authority all amazing beers. Hoppy, refreshing well minus the Porter it's more a fall/winter beer. Service is outstanding and super friendly. Superbly clean bathrooms and my favorite the music is just perfect. This is a place to go every Sunday and just chill with a good date or some good friends. It's even great to grab a book and sit to read it. read more

Neat place, great beer! I dropped in after dinner for a drink and was pretty impressed with the selection given that it's a smaller brewery. I got a flight and really enjoyed the beers. My only recommendation would be to get print outs for the flights, we want to reference which beers we're drinking! The server was nice enough to write the beers in order on a receipt after a little convincing. They also do trivia which brought a lively atmosphere. I'm sad you can't get a growler but I guess that means I'll just have to drop in again. Dog friendly Outside food friendly read more

Came here for a friend's birthday get together and definitely enjoyed myself. First, the brewery largely consists of an outdoor area, but it does have a small indoor bar as well (where you actually order the beer). The outside area was pretty chill - I think this brewery is still a little bit unknown (hence the name, I guess), so there weren't too many people around. That being said, as the night went on, the crowd picked up. The outside area is pretty perfect for having your own little events - for example, there was a group of people who were hitting a birthday piñata hung up on a tree. The bar was also running a bingo night, and they had loads of board games to play (as well as a giant game of Jenga!). The beer was tasty. Not the absolute best brewery I've been to, but I was pretty happy with the selection and the quality. Food-wise, there are a number of restaurants in the area (Luigi's, Axelrad, a vegan place, and probably some others I'm forgetting), but the only food available in the immediate vicinity was a guy grilling steaks for something like $16 or $18 a person. You did get a nice large New York strip for that price, along with a "vegetable and potato medley" (which was basically just asparagus and potatoes), but it wasn't the best steak I've ever had or anything. Overall, I would definitely come back here! read more

Literally the best beer in Houston. I've been to plenty of other breweries in the city and feel an obligation to love those places based off of their reputation rather than their actual beer. Then I found Under the Radar. This place deserves ALL the hype - I haven't tried a single beer I don't like or LOVE. This is the only place I trust getting a random flight and actually wanting to drink each beer. Their kolsch, hefe, raspberry hefe, blonde, milk stout are all EXCEPTIONAL, to name a few! Go here, you won't be disappointed. Staff are always friendly. I used to come almost every week pre-COVID and now I go to fill up the occasional growler and enjoy at home. If you want to safely get out of the house, the outside seating is great for social distancing too! read more
