No, I'm already paying for a hotel room - I'm not paying an additional cover to see a menu. As someone else mentioned, it is very loud. I went up to Station 36 instead for a better experience.

There's a cover charge per person. Cocktails/mocktails are…read morewell made and basic. Live music is talented but far too loud. If you're in the way back you won't be able to hear each other. Interesting to visit once and then you're good.

Great cigar launch and bar. Good drinks, not to loud, excellent service and nice atmosphere.read more

The staff couldn't be nicer or more helpful. Great guys. Clientele were a little tougher than my typical cigar lounges but I loved the decor. Drink selection was great as was the music... spot on for the blues-like theme. Only suggestions might be lightening up the humidor so you can see the cigars better. Thanks for a short stay over!

We hit up Proudest Monkey again in downtown Bryan and this time it was a win all around. The place…read morehas been slinging burgers, tacos and cocktails to the Brazos Valley since forever in restaurant years and the locals seem to love it for good reason. My wife ordered a burger and devoured it without a single word. This is how I know she truly enjoyed it. I went for two tacos (they run about $6 bucks each) including the Pulled Hammy and the Mama Migas. Both were packed with flavor and spicy enough to keep me on my toes. Service was on point. Our waitress hustled even though it was a chill lunch crowd. The bar itself has this cozy (not wide) historic downtown vibe with brick and wood and all the kind of stuff you see in those hip Austin places people brag about. This is why you give everyone a 2nd chance. We'll be back!

I came here from out of town for my niece's wedding reception, and arrived two hours late. I…read morestrolled into the well-packed distillery, down a very nicely kept downtown type of area, and upon rolling to the back looking around, an employee noticed me and asked if I was with the wedding party. I'm in a powered wheelchair and the employee, Bobby, was nice enough to take me up a classy freight elevator to the second floor, where the reception was being held. It was a nice area, furnished with a lot of wood and lights. The reception had set up a nice buffet, and 200 drink tokens had been set aside for guests, although by the time I got there they had been used up. My girlfriend and I got a gin & tonic, and a vodka tonic, for about 11$ each, with both the gin, vodka, and tonics being brewed in house. They were very tasty, although maybe not 11$-tasty. Overall it was a lovely location for a wedding reception, the staff were helpful and friendly, and the drinks were good if just a tad pricey.

Hush and whisper distilling, honestly such a gem in the College station area. When you walk into…read morethis distillery, it feels like you've been transported into a modern futuristic brewery. The bartenders are so knowledgeable they can walk you through the entire menu. They will let you do a little tastings. The distillery also does tours during the day, but I guarantee you the bartenders here can help you find a drink that you will like and they will also walk you through mock tails if you are alcohol free. Endless amounts of seating are available for large groups, small groups. This is so perfect for a birthday party graduation date night a fun thing to do during the day if you're going to take a tour. The cocktails are seasonal with such fun names. This is such a cool gem, so glad I got to visit.

So, we hadn't stopped by this place because honestly we had no idea what it was and it wasn't on…read moreYelp! Kudos to the first poster! We dove right in and decided to stop by without lots of context. First of all, I love this place. It's chill, lots of good beer, and has some good open seating. It's an ice house, folks. The beer selection was pretty good with a mix of local/regional craft beers in cans alongside national micro-craft beers from CO, OR, and NM. Great atmosphere if you're just looking to get out of the house. It seemed like they had a few snacks but didn't have too much In terms of food selection. With this place on our list of go-to's, I can safely say Bryan is growing on us!

We had been drinking beer, so I stuck to beer except for an old fashioned (which was excellent and used Buffalo Trace). They also have an awesome selection of draft beers. I had a Live Oak Hefeweizen which was excellent. Service was excellent both at the restaurant and the attached pizza area. Since we had been drinking a while, we decided to have pizza at the shop attached to the bar. They have a nice pizza oven and this was excellent. I forget the name, but it has a nice thin crust with great cheese and topped with sausage and mushrooms. It really hit the spot Definitely worth a visit, distinct from many of the other bars around.

I'm not often as impressed as I am by Rough Draught. Awesome, awesome selection. Good people who enjoy talking whiskey. The interior and decoration and walls - it all just GOES. It's perfect. Sadly they were out of a key ingredient or two to make pizza when we were there - during Thanksgiving week, so... not "normal" timing - so we sadly could not try their pizza. But we enjoyed multiple great pours, some good cocktails, great conversation, and exploring all of the details in the decor. A staple for any visit I'll be making to College Station and Aggieland.
