    I have to give a big shout out to the reservation director Joey Huhner at Whiskey River West. I decided to go out of my comfort zone and celebrate my 50th birthday out on the town. I chose Whiskey River West because I love me some country music and dancing. When I booked my party Joey told me not to worry and everything would go smoothly. When I showed up with my party we were escorted to our tables and introduced to our server Jade. Jade again ensured us she would be taking care of us all night and if we needed anything extra aside from our already ordered drinks to let her know. I have to say this place got packed and rightly so. The DJ was playing a great mix of music and dance songs. Jade continued to make sure we were taken care of and my party was amazing. I was surprised when the staff walked out holding signs and sparklers to celebrate my birthday. Embarrassed was more like it but I enjoyed it very much. There was also a taco set up so we could grab some late night snacks on our way out, separate from the establishment but still within. Needless to say I so enjoyed my BD and I highly recommend this place for your next celebration. Thank you Joey and the staff for everything.

    This is of them

    I was with my friends coming down the stairs and i accidentally spilled my drink because a big girl bumped into me . The security said I was cut off after that . I was like whatttt I think they need to hire more professional security because that was very unprofessional, The general manager was very professional in resolving this issue I give her professional credit for this.. But all my Friends was disappointed about how the security kicked me out they were 4 of them ready to punch me I said guys I'm good but all of them were pushing me My friends were disappointed by what happened, unfortunately they had to leave there too.

    Wholy crap yelpers..... Well its a pretty cool place to hang. Make sure you get there on happy hour or get charged 10 bucks for a crown and coke... Always a good vibe. Two stars is because live behind them. I was in a mad rush and bought a bouse without the research... my bad. Wholy crap its loud at night. The people that live in the subdivision has complained but thats all a persone can do. They continue to keep the music loud. I give them a two stars because they are not working with the public to keep the music down. Ok ok yes I get what your thinking. But Bobby J you go there isn't that being a little two face? Well yelpers I don't mind the Friday Saturday and also the Thursday crowd. But come on, I'm up like 530 ish on Monday. Can they just keep the Sunday crowd music down....?? Well, I've invested in a fan and Boise ear pods with noise canceling. That works pretty good. Peace out yall.....

    This place feels like home to me. Moni is very helpful and manages so well. Every single bartender is hardworking and knows what there doing, Especially the front bar. Miguel and his family at the front bar are dedicated to serving you and giving you the best experience possible. The security, Thomas and Steven Specifically not only care about the safety of there staff, but the customers as well. The bar backs work wonderfully at keeping the place clean during business hours as well. The vibe is always fun, and carefree. The girl at the front desk always greets with a smile as well and is there to help. DJ Damian is my favorite, and always gives a wonderful variety of music. If your hungry, don't forget to get some tacos near the front door. So yum after dancing the night away! Like I said. It's home.

I struggled to find 2 stars however I did so because the hamburger I had was not terrible however it is not reason to experience the remainder of the restaurant which is less than stellar. To remain consistent please refer to my initial assessment of The Brass Tap in which I chastised others about criticizing the food in what was a beer establishment however in this case a mediocre hamburger in an abundance of restaurants that serve memorable hamburgers was the only thing that saved this establishment from one star. It is hot in Houston so cool spaces are appreciated however this was a bit short of a frigid wind tunnel. I withstood the ambiance in the hope the beer and hamburger night save it however this was simply a compounding of the error in which first and foremost was selecting the establishment. There was no service. It was mid-day on a Saturday there was no table service and despite many trips to the bar the bartender seemed enamored with 2 female customers which I am not faulting him for however assuming he was not the owner my guess is the owner would prefer him earning revenue rather than charm points. Given that there was one other party in the restaurant at this time I was likely the last to make the observation about substandard service. Do yourself and me a favor, find some redeeming values for The Brass Tap...I'll be watching.

By the time we got there, the staff already seemed overwhelmed by the number of guests. When we checked in, the host noted that our entire party had arrived even though two members of our group were still missing. This later created unnecessary confusion and delays. Organization and communication appear to be major challenges at this location. Initially, my boyfriend and I were told to go ahead and sit down, but we were not given wristbands or any clear direction as to where our table was located. We were confused as to why we had not received wristbands like other guests. Later in the evening, we were asked to return to the front to obtain wristbands, which is when we discovered the host had incorrectly marked our party as complete. It seemed likely that the staff member was overwhelmed and did not fully process what we had explained at check-in. Another ongoing issue is the apparent overselling of tables without adequate space to accommodate them. The layout was so crowded that even the bartenders had difficulty moving between tables. At times, guests were asked to pass buckets and drinks down the line because staff could not easily access certain tables. The people in the VIP area were all complaining about how close the tablets were to each other. Overall, the experience felt disorganized and poorly managed. The artists were great but we felt very uncomfortable seating there the entire time we were there.
