So enter through Heritage East Culture at ETX. Give them the password if they ask (see social media). Cozy small speakeasy. My wife ordered some kind of S'more marshmallow Old Fashioned and I had a wonderful drink as well. Worth the treat.

I stumbled…read moreup in this speakeasy + the locals were so fun and friendly, we ended up chatting for hours! drinks were okay -- for an east texas speakeasy, I expected them to be stronger. I felt like I stepped into a country social club when I entered-- in a good way! The atmosphere was inviting and social, which I loved. I ordered the frog lets and omg! I planned to have some left over to take togo but they weee just too good, I finished them! If work ever brings me back to tyler, I know where to go for a good time.

After dinner on The Square, we made a pit stop at Black Pearl, a small, narrow bar attached to…read moreRick's On the Square. We all ordered a drink. My friend and my girlfriend both ordered their espresso martini that my friend claimed was the best espresso martini in town, while I got the bartender's recommendation of the Animal Style, a pineapple and jalapeño infused tequila with strawberries, cardamom bitters, and a lemon peel garnish. Normally, I hate any drink that is spicy. I cannot stand a Bloody Mary because I don't believe drinks should be allowed to be spicy, but this one, for having jalapeño, is not spicy at all. If anything, it's slightly savory with its tropical flavor. The bartender was great. They have appetizers and tapas as well and as my girlfriend sat down, she really wanted just one of their fresh oysters. I ordered her just one to try and it was $4.25. They gave us the smallest one they could find. The tiniest oyster of all time. I guess size really didn't matter because according to her it was very good. I would go back and have a few more cocktails, but it is a nice place to hang out on the square on a Friday night. A good time to be had by all. RIYL: The finest, most $15ish cocktail you can find.

The food (oysters again) simply fresh, almost as if I were in some beachside cafe. All the oysters here are from cold water places Nova Scotia for one. A small delicacy to reward myself after a long week. Dark , cool, and welcoming, my type of place. Great company and friendly folks too. This is where we get ready to cha cha, swing, rhumba, and tango. Ran into my fellow veteran friend Al whom I met my first time here. Wonderful food, friends, and company. You'll love it too. Go !

Always a Great Time at The Barrel House!…read more This is one of our favorite spots for great food and excellent service. The drinks are strong, and their happy hour is definitely worth it--but even outside of happy hour, the prices are very reasonable. The food is consistently delicious, and the staff is always friendly and accommodating. Whenever we're in town, we make sure to stop by The Barrel House with my mother-in-law--it's become a bit of a tradition! The atmosphere is casual and laid-back, with plenty of outdoor and patio seating. There are even some games out back, which makes it a fun and family-friendly place to hang out. Highly recommend!

Many we'd seen in travels to Hawaii and other islands so a first in Tyler to be offered. Love the broken rice dishes - fresh cooked perfectly. Two different burgers did not disappoint with fresh fries served hot. Quality meat in both. My banh mi sandwich - Piggy combined pork belly with bacon - small bites along with some chunks; would like the chunks sliced smaller to be easier to eat but flavor was very good - bun fresh with delicious bar drinks offered along with non alcohol if preferred. Popeyes omelette was nicely prepared with good ingredients. Parking on side easy access to front - busy Broadway street. A good happy hour along with live music offered also. Will return to try some other dishes.
