I was pleasantly surprised by Underdogs. It doesn't look like much on the outside, just like your run-of-the-mill dive bar. Turns out it has a huge whiskey selection and lots of great beer. The bartender (who I believe was the owner) is very knowledgeable about his stock. He took the time to go over the menu with us to help us pick whiskies we would like. I really appreciate that level of service. read more

This bar is dog friendly with a great atmosphere. They have a large variety of liquors and craft & barrel aged beers, a fantastic selection of whiskey & infusions like strawberry Tequila and honey Whisky. Big screen tvs above the bar, outside on both patios & throughout the bar area. No food served but conveniently, in the parking lot, Los Perros food truck is serving up food that can be brought inside to munch on. Not craving Mexican food? No worries, right across the street is Ninja Raman or a few other food selections are within walking distance. If you don't feel like watching a sports, entertain yourself with a game of pool on one if the two tables inside, foosball, cornhole in the outside back area, or your choice of video games including Big Buck and Golden Tee. With relatively clean bathrooms, plenty of places to sit, a wide variety of drink choices and a pleasant and attentive staff, and not to mention the delicious pie inspired shots (carrot cake is amazing!), this place is my number one dog friendly/sports bar choice on Washington Ave. read more

Bartender was rude AF. The bar is pretty chill, cheap beer. I definitely won't be going back.

Damn it. Is this another place I don't remember? That was one hell of a night - but look at me! Checking in at places on Yelp!! w00t w00t I'll come back and give a proper review. read more

My homie and I frequent this place for after work beers. Craft IPAs and other great craft brews on draft at around $5 a serving are pretty affordable. I love the patio as it's nice to be out there when my friends have a smoke. I'd definitely recommend this place if you and your buddies are looking for a place to chill with good, cold draft beer. They've even got a pool table. read more

What a great bar. I had an Old Fashioned. And then I had three more. They were made with grapefruit. So good. SO GOOD. Thanks to Dustin, the personable bartender for sharing your expertise. At the moment, I'm enjoying the Old Fashioned. I never thought I could like whiskey or bourbon but with these different twists that creative bartenders are inventing, it's tasty to keep exploring. The porch outside has a big Jenga tower too. These types of games are great after a few drinks. read more

Cool sports bar. Flew into Houston last night for the first time and met my friend here. Very "homey" feeling bar with pool tables, arcade games, high tops, and dogs! Tv's are scattered throughout showing various games and they have a pretty good beer list - new beers, at least for me. There's also a good taco truck outside and they let you bring outside food in. Nice place to get my first taste of Houston. read more

When I want to 'beer it' and talk this is the spot. Not too loud on non game/fight days and the beer/alcohol selection is ridiculous even before you see the prices. Ask about what infused drinks they have if you dare to risk flavor addiction! I have only been a handful of times but Dustin and Steve run a perfect spot. Def the best beer stop on Washington imo. -Chris read more

I don't want this place to get more crowded, but I have to sing this bar's praises!! Amazing, well stocked bar with lots of great beers, whiskey, and even great flavored vodkas. The pie shots are DELISH. Setting is great! Chill vibe, indoor/outdoor, dogs welcome, TVs on during the games. Great crowd, mix of all that Washington is. Owner bartender Dustin is so friendly, welcoming, chatty. Can't wait to come back! read more

I love Underdogs and Dustin and the crew. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable, and can always give the perfect recommendation if you describe what you are looking for in a drink. My husband loves the craft beer selection and I love the whiskey selection. Dustin always has the perfect referral in that area and I can trust that whatever I purchase will be quality and worth my money. Of course you can always find a sports game of your choice on any of the TV's and food trucks are nearby. The prices are very reasonable. This place is definitely overlooked, but the only place I go to on Washington Ave. read more

Over 400 beers and 200 whiskies! I'm a fan! Also, the bloody mary is AWESOME! I'll be back. read more

Underdogs Pub - Dog friendly inside with a bark park out back for dogs to run around. Most dog friendly bar I've been to in Houston - Pubs Near Me - Houston, Texas

Great place, owner real friendly. They make pie shots that are really good. Just tried the key lime shot. It is very dog friendly.

Drinks and dogs?! Nothing gets better than that! Super friendly staff, some of them even attempted to play with my dog which I really appreciate cause he's a pitbull and tends to scare off people. The reason for 3 stars though is because I don't know if the AC was down the day I came in or it's just naturally hot but boy was it HOOOT in there. My boyfriend also order vodka and soda and told the bartender he wanted "well" which is suppose to mean their house vodka but the bartender just kinda stared at us super confused and told us that they didn't have well. My boyfriend then decided to order a Texas beer instead and once again the bartender looked extremely confused. He even had to call someone else to check if they had the beer my boyfriend was asking for. It's super awkward for a bartender to not know his stuff read more

1) Super friendly bartender/ bar owner (Steve) 2) Basketball dealie, horseshoes, and those sand sacks that you throw into different shaped basket things 3)Really good beer on tap. Also great beer bottles 4)Space- outdoor and indoor seating, not overcrowded 5)Food- the taco and hotdog trucks outside the bar take cash only but serve delicious food. Tacos are actually spicy if you add the hot sauce (yaay!) No food served by the bar, but you can bring your food from outside. 6) Casual dress (not trashy, and not pajamas, but casual). I would recommend it- great chill vibe, relax away from crazy crowds, lot parking and parking on the side of the street. 10/10 would go again. Try the apple shot! and the purple gatorade shot. The apple one is delicious to sip on!!!! its like apple pie in drink form. Yum. read more

Came here early on a Saturday evening to catch some pre-season games with a friend. The selection was amazing and prices were incredibly reasonable for the heights. Seems like a good place to start off or end the night if you're looking for a more low-key, good atmosphere bar. read more

Laid back bar that lets your bring your 4 legged friend. Massive beer menu and friendly people. Definitely coming back. read more

See all

This is such a great spot ! The bartenders are always quick and friendly :) Love that there are always lots of dogs !! My friends and I come here often and we especially love the pie shots -- they are SO yummy ! My favorite is the Apple Pie one but they're all really good. If you have a dog please bring them ! They have a great backyard area with plenty of room for them to run around in. read more

Really enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere. Good beer selection and very fair prices. Definitely plan on coming back. read more

If you have a dog this is your place. It is the only off leash bar I am aware of in Houston. My two dogs and I really enjoy coming here. I can actually relax instead of keeping them on a leash. Great socialization for the dog. There are multiple TVs playing sports. They have a good selection of draft beer. One of the better features is a large selection of infused liquors for cocktails. They don't serve food, but there is a food truck out front and quite a bit of food very close. Great place to come and hangout. read more

Super laid back, fun bar. Extra dog friendly, a huge beer selection, friendly bar tenders, and a wide variety of infusions. Would definitely recommend read more

Great beer and liquor selection. Friendly staff, not too loud, good music, nice outdoor area complete with giant jenga. The bar tender who I also think is the owner is extremely knowledgeable. I let him pick every beer I tried and I wasn't disappointed once! If you are like me and you love beer, like actually being able to hear the person you are talking to and enjoy sitting outdoors this is the place for you! I tried the place for the first time last night and I will be back. I was in town with a pretty diverse group of people who are not from Houston and wanted a place that everyone could enjoy themselves. I knew it would be tough to find a place with not only a great craft beer selection but also some decent whiskey but Underdogs Pub has it all and everyone had a fantastic time! I can't wait to be back in Houston permanently so I can hang out there more. read more

Great place to chill, have some drinks, watch a game, and bring your dog! Zoey loves it here as much as we do! The crowd is usually laid back, dog friendly people so it's always a good time!! read more

The corner at Underdogs is the best especially with that new fan. The beer is pretty cool too, but not as cool as the fan. read more

Underdogs Pub - Pubs Near Me - Houston, Texas

The pie shots are super yummy and they have an incredible selection of beer. Love going there to meet other pups. FAIR WARNING: people are constantly swinging the door open, so if your dog is prone to running away, I wouldn't recommend letting them off leash. The front door faces a relatively busy street, and it could be dangerous. read more

We love this place because it feels like having a beer in your own living room. Love walking here with our dog or coming over after we work out (because beer and the gym go hand in hand). The owners knows good beer and how to serve their loyal customers. If you're hungry, there's a legit Colombian food truck next door that I totally recommend. The best part about this bar is that they're dog friendly, the owner is knowledgeable of the beer and the environment is welcoming despite it being a dive bar. Most importantly you're always bound to try a new delicious beer and make friends with the regulars. Come say hi if you see me! read more

Went to Underdogs for a friend's birthday and enjoyed this place quite a bit. The main appeal is that it's dog friendly so pups can run around in there and there is also a large outdoor area in the back to hang with the dogs. They had water bowls for them and plenty of space. One recommendation I would have to people going there and planning on being in the outdoor back part is to take bug spray because there were tons of mosquitos (though it did rain earlier in the day). Thankfully another friend had flea/tick/mosquito spray for dogs and happily it worked for us humans also! I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention the fact that this bar has a great beer selection both draft and bottle. Oh also the Los Perros food truck is right outside and has excellent food, which the kind folks at Underdog allowed us to bring in to eat. Friendly and attentive staff. read more

Great bar with several outdoor seating areas and a miniature dog park in the back. And parking front and back. Lots of drink variety from beer, pie shots & whiskeys plus very knowledgable bartenders. Great service. Dogs allowed off leash so they really love it. Watching them form little packs and play is quite entertaining. The lighting sucks. The pool tables need their own lights while the little ceiling spots are annoying when watching sports. Dim the lights in the evening. The music needs professional help. Underdogs looks like a blues bar inside and out. They should try the blues read more

Coolest little bar I have been to! I love the atmosphere. They played a bunch of 80s and 90s music, like tops hits and such. I especially enjoyed all the dogs coming up to me for pets and scratches. I will definitely visit again. read more

We visited Underdogs for the first time last night and loved it! Sad we didn't find it sooner. The owner is friendly and recommended great drinks. I love how laid back and relaxed this bar is - everyone there is super chill. Dogs are allowed off leash, plenty of room for them to run around and lots of water provided for the pups. Great beer selection, great music, and pie shots are a must! New Sunday funday spot for sure! read more

Great place! Has lots of big screen TV's, plenty of seating and outdoor seating as well. They had plenty of drink choices but not as many as I thought on the draft beer selection (still quite a few though). I had a good time watching the Olympics games with my friends. I don't recall if there was a separate parking lot or not, but we had parked somewhere else and had walked from a restaurant. Street parking in the area is not too bad. read more

Good beer selection and the bar tender actually wanted to serve me. Helpful knowledgeable bar tender is becoming hard to find down Washington. I had some infused tequila and art car ipa. Very reasonable prices and I will be going back with friends. They have a house tequila that was unbelievable. It's not for shots it's a sipping tequila, drinks like a fine aged whisky. read more

I've always loved the idea of dog friendly bars, and while I've been to a couple, this place really won me over. Typically when I go have a drink with my dog, it's because I'm either bored out of my mind and my friends aren't available, or I just feel like grabbing a few and think about whatever I've got on my mind. I forget what day I came here, but I'm thinking it was a Saturday/Sunday evening around 6-8. It wasn't too crowded, but I definitely didn't mind that. Originally sat outside which was basically completely empty, because I didn't know my son Bane (my dog) was able to come inside. I moved inside to a table when the bada$$ bartender (I think he may be the owner or manager) told me I could let him loose if I wanted, so after letting him know he's pretty energetic, he still gave me the green light. I let him loose, and he loved it. He was walking around inside and then would go outside and wander around, coming back to me every so often. All of the other patrons were super dog friendly and would pet him when he'd go up to them and just hang around. The bartender I mentioned was super friendly and talkative, and would just shoot the sh*t with me and anyone else at the bar, and loved my dog too. Good solid beer selection, and they had sports going, which is always a plus in my book. This is gonna be my go to dog friendly bar from here on out. Cheers! read more

I really love this place! It's one of the few places in Houston you can bring your dog, and not worry about him/her at all. The bartenders and patrons are very chill and like dogs. My dog isn't poorly behaved, but he is curious and will walk up to you even if you're in the middle of playing pool. So I appreciate that everyone is really nice about it and doesn't get in a huff when he butts in. There's a great space out back for the dogs to socialize (and their owners too!) Oh and did I mention that they have a great beer selection? Overall, this is one of our favorite stops around town. read more

Underdogs is my favorite neighborhood spot. The owner and bartenders are friendly and will get to know you and have great drink recommendations. This place has an extensive beer selection (draft and bottle) at the best prices. There are also infused liquors if you're feeling adventurous. If you come here you MUST try the pie shots (they're so good, almost too good so be careful, they'll sneak up on you). There are tv's inside and outside. They are very dog friendly (really, bring your dog and let them off the leash, this place is so chill). Casual atmosphere. Amazing Colombian food truck right outside that will bring your food to you. If you're looking for a chill place with good beer at a great price this is definitely your spot. read more

Both of the owners are great and this place is a reflection of them. Chill laid back and no BS. Dogs off the leash, patio and pool. Come to watch the games and interact with a like minded crowd read more

I've been here a few times and i've always enjoyed it. It's a laid back neighborhood bar in the middle of the craziness that is washington ave. The owner is usually there and he's always friendly and personable. They have big wooden booths outside for additional seating, complete with TVs and games. The drinks are always strong and the bartenders are great. Definitely glad I found this place. read more

Can't say enough about how much we loved this place! Great drink prices, nice bar, great service, clean AND our Kai dog was able to hang out off-leash. They even have an open area outside for the dogs to run around. Awesome place especially if you are a dog lover. This is definitely going to be our go to bar when we are in the area. read more

Amazing!!!!! The best bar ever. Chill, reasonable, awesome owners. If you are new to Houston definitely come here. The greatest place on Washington and a super short drive from the heights. Underdogs rocks!!!! read more
