Tupac and I love it here! Dogs everywhere running freely around with a huge backyard space. Even if you don't have one, you have plenty to choose from to play with! If you are wanting to socialize your dog and be able to have a drink and watch the game, I highly recommend you bring your fur baby and friends here! They have water bowls for you to fill and use, a huge enclosed backyard for your dogs to run around in or freely roam inside the bar and on the patio.

Inside pool tables

My favorite neighborhood bar. We love coming to hangout/play pool with a chill ambiance. Drinks are very decent for the prices they charge! Really only need 2/3 to do the job. It is dog friendly, so we always enjoy seeing the friendly pups roam around. Steve is our guy and never fails to take care of us.

Doppelgangers!

I've frequented this place over the past 3 + years and I must admit I love the fact that they allow dogs inside and out here. So sweet to be able to pet and play with the pooches! If there is one place you'd love to indulge specialty whisky concoctions, it's here. Try the maple bacon... Yes. Bacon. Also, the PIE SHOTS. MMM PIES.... ALL KINDS OF PIES.... BUT IN A SHOT.... THANK ME LATER. Good food truck outside, food delivered here too... So Grab a seat or play some pool, either way, between the great staff and beer and drink selections, everything is phenomenal! (Note: This place is not clubby, trendy, high endy or stuck uppy)

I've got good news!!! Now i want to Celebrate!!! Do you have food, too? Can I bring my little dog, she saved my life when I had a break in - I got hurt pretty bad but she bit that big man, gave me just a second that I needed, I pulled out my Glock 9mm and beat him to the draw!! I'm still alive

Food truck hot dog. Delicious

Great selection of beer and whiskey! We've been there twice, and the service was good even on NYE when there was only one kind of overwhelmed bartender. Friendly and helpful staff all the time. Infused liquors for great, fun cocktails. The pool table isn't quite level, but as long as you know this bar is a bit of a dive, it's great for what it is. Added bonus: the food truck outside is awesome. Get the hot dog!

Great fun local spot. Friendly bartenders who know everything they are serving you because they are the owners. Also, a great spot to go and bring your dog so they can play off leash..

Was looking for a dog friendly bar that also offered craft cocktails and came across Underdogs Pub. Turns out they're famous for not only their craft liquor selection but for their liquor infusions. For our first shot we decided on a Strawberry Habanero infusion made with Blue Nectar tequila. Normally it's made in a margarita but we decided on the shot route instead and we were happy we did! It was delicious. If you're in Houston and around the Washington area, or even if you're not in the area, Underdogs is definitely a place you should stop by.

This is my first time here, by invite from a friend. She was having the house Bloody Mary called the Bacon Cilantro Blood Mary. I tried it and it opened my eyeballs like I was on coke. It's awesome! Very impressed. A must try. On Thursday all their craft drafts are $3! This is what I call a happy hour.

Dogs OFF LEASH. Enough said. This is the only bar in Houston that I know of that let's pups off leash and roam wherever they please. The bartender/owner Dustin is super friendly and recommended the amazing mango lemonade. And let me tell you. This drink is so sneaky. It's not too sweet and doesn't taste like pure alcohol, but it will mess you UP. They have a huge beer and infused liquor selection as well. They cater to any alcoholic! Jk. But they are really awesome. I will definitely be back. It's an amazing place to grab a drink and meet new doggies.

Came here on a Saturday night at around 11pm and it wasn't packed or empty. I would say it was…read morecomfortably lively inside and outside on the patio. The vibe was also a classic dive bar. Free street parking, but it was a bit hard to find a spot on a Saturday night. Restrooms were also pretty clean. Most of the seats at the bar were taken so my partner had to squeeze in to order a drink, but it wasn't too difficult to get service. Service was also nice and quick each time he ordered a drink. I thought the prices were pretty good for how expensive drinks can be these days. They also have a happy hour that ends at 8pm every day and daily specials, but I forgot what they were. Maker's Mark Old Fashioned $10 Maker's Mark and Coke $8 Shiner Bock $5.25 Coors Light, Bud Light $4.50 My partner got 3 old fashioned's and thought the first one was too light, so he asked for less ice on the next one. That seemed to fix the flavor balance. There were 2 dart boards and a pool table, but I think you have to pay to play pool because there was a daily special that said free pool on Monday's. I think the darts are free though. There were a decent amount of TVs, but I think there was a sports podcast on when we went lol There were also a number of classic red leather loveseats that I think would be great for couples on dates. The patio in the back was very vibey and had a bunch of lights. There was a birthday party set up back there, so I think you can host parties there if you contact the bar. The floor was made up of wooden planks over the ground, so it wasn't unusual to see bugs on the ground outside. Not much to do about that for an outdoor patio though. There's also a comically large wooden chair that you could take a photo op in lol All in all, this is a classic dive bar that satisfies everything you want when you're in the mood to go to one.

After hitting up Davenport, we made our way next door to McElroy's Pub for a drink. Located in…read moreUpper Kirby, while I Ubered, there is free street parking around. Ambiance (3.5/5): Pretty much your typical Irish pub. Chill, lots of wood, a decent amount of TVs. The type of casual spot where you can have a good beer, talk, and watch a soccer game. Which is exactly what we did since the World Cup was going on. We sat at the bar. They also have a patio in the back, but I didn't check it out. Service (4/5): McElroy's wasn't too busy when we arrived, but service was solid. We had a beer, closed out, and we were on our way. Food (N/A): We were on a liquid diet, but I did notice that they have free hot dogs during Astros games. That's a pretty awesome perk. Drinks (4/5): As you would expect, heavy on beer though they have a full bar. When I'm at an Irish pub, I'm going to go with an Irish or British beer. They have a good number of those options too. Plus daily happy hours, including weekends, and daily specials. I love a bar that has a good number of deals. You'll find that here.

The food is very good - a mix of pub fare and authentic Irish to match the atmosphere. We particularly love the cheese curds, potato skins and loaded baked potato soup, but the shepherds pie, corned beef and cabbage, and fall off the bone lamb shank are just as good. The true surprise is the pizza - by far the best in Houston! They recently brought in darts and pool tables, and regularly host trivia and karaoke!

Walking in, the decor reminded me of the pub in our hotel in Dublin. It was clean, and nothing very worn or damaged. Very clean, cleaner than I expected a tavern to be. The menu didn't have everything that we had seen when viewing online (here), but it had the things hubby was wanting to try so that's all that mattered, and not the first restaurant to switch up menus. Less options for my vegetarian needs than I expected but I got a couple of sides which were very good and a wedge salad which was tasty. It may sound weird but I often judge restaurants based upon their salad ... I mean if they serve me wilted lettuce and questionable toppings, why would I want anything else from them? This was great, super fresh ingredients without the lettuce being watery which is another said pet peeve. Husband tried both the fish and chips and shepherds pie (which he took to go). Fish was fried to perfection, crisp and he said very tasty. He said the pie was great as well. Our server was working the entire front of house, waiting and bartending, and several other tables filled up as we were eating and she handled it flawlessly, and said it was only her third day. She's a keeper (but please get her some help lol). I think likely only one person in the kitchen as well, but didn't impact the food quality or how quickly it was delivered, so overall I was very impressed with the team. Darts, pool, music and trivia rounded everything out. I highly recommend this spot, I think you'll like the food, the drinks, the team and the vibe.

YUM Pimlico steak night never disappoints, after you check their instagram after 5pm on…read moreTuesday-Thursday to see if they will be hosting a steak night at Pimlico. And if you've got a bunch of cash you are looking to burn for a yummy dinner because they're cash only. And one drink purchase is required. Amazing seasoning, which they actually sell I think! The steak itself runs about $35ish If you add a half rack of lamb, double that price. If you want one side, and or sausage add $5 each. This picture here is a plate with a half portion of steak, sausage, lamb, mashed tatoes. Not pictured is the other half portion + a beer that was with my Fiancée. With tip, this ran us $95 for dinner on a Thursday. Almost a benjamin, I wouldn't say this was a good deal but it was a tasty dinner.

Steak night starts at 7, which means that's when they start taking orders. If you want to beat the rush, you should already be in your seat by 6:30-6:45. It's a two-man show on steak night. The husband is outside grilling everything on what looks like a standard home grill while the wife is taking orders. Orders go out in batches. They're definitely efficient and work as fast as they can, but with that comes a little abruptness- they aren't the friendliest, but they're focused on getting everyone fed. We got there at 7:05 and didn't get our food until 8:25. Was the wait worth it? Absolutely. The steak was tender and juicy. The lamb chop was charred perfectly. And surprisingly enough, the sausage was my favorite. It was JUICY. When you bite into it, the juices literally burst out. Something had a little kick to it... it wasn't the sauce, but I actually liked it. The jalapeño cheddar mashed potatoes were also great.

How have I never reviewed Saint Arnold Brewing Company?!…read more It's the longest running craft brewery in Texas, having won countless national awards. Though I don't drink beer anymore, I love that they do have a line of ciders and sparkling water at the brewery; and they have a few wine options. Most recently, I had their pizza margherita (made with cauliflower pizza crust, per my request). It was surprisingly very good! I wasn't expecting much, but it was crispy and had zesty pesto sauce that made it even better. If you don't want to order from their kitchen, they do have food trucks and other artisan vendors, entertainment. Do a tour if you can. It's kid and dog-friendly. And it's a great spot to watch some sports on their big screen with views of the downtown Houston skyline. Also, love that SA supports so many non-profit events. High community involvement...

I guess I should have read the fine print which didn't mention lettuce but how can you call something a salad that doesn't have any kind of green leaves? I have been coming here a few times a year for various events but the place just doesn't seem to have any sort of a niche...yeah they have beer but I could get that down the street at any pub. They don't even bother putting ice in their water coolers anymore either.

Service has always been fairly consistent. Bathroom is small, so keep that in mind. It's not a huge place and the booths and tables fill up fast when it's busy.

St. Patty's day can be pretty fun here too (check the calendar for events) They also have happy hour and daily specials, definitely worth checking out!
