    Good sports bar with sand volleyball courts and an open air feel…read more Bartenders are friendly and quick. Food option was a pop up crawfish boil that was the best we've had this year. Young after work crowd on our Friday visit with large groups watching the World Cup and Astros. Overall, a good spot for drinks with friends.

I called back again to make sure there wasn't a minimum or anything, and they confirmed my reservation. When I showed up on game day, I walked into the full bar that clearly had no tables and went up to a man with a Decoy shirt on who said they don't do reservations. I told him I had just spoken to someone yesterday, and he "you have wrong information, there's no way we can do reservations with this many people - you probably called the corporate office (it's the number listed on their website so that made no sense)" and was very dismissive of me and not apologetic whatsoever. It's totally understandable that reservations wouldn't be possible on a World Cup day. Seems like the staff are not all on the same page, or I was misled to just get my group into the bar (which has happened at other bars during the tournament so it's not unheard of). Had to take my three nieces elsewhere at the last minute and don't imagine I'll be returning after that experience.

    I loved this place! I came here to meet a group of coworkers and we had a blast! It is your…read moretypical, local tavern full of local having a great time. It was Karoake night and the place was pretty busy- but the staff were fast and friendly. I had a Cheesesteak and it was incredible! The rolls are imported from Philly! The beers were cold and fresh, and the Karoake was hilarious- there were actually some great singers! And not so great. If I lived here, this would be my local, and I will definitely come back here when in Houston.

    Luckily for you, I visited this place so you wouldn't have to!…read more I cringe at this place. Sticky tables and floors, dirty menus, dusty dishes and ceilings. Tiny bathrooms- can't get in and out without touching something. Our waitress was a few weeks in and tried her best. The fountain drinks were absolutely disgusting and needed to be recalibrated. I settled with the only bottled soft drink available to be safe, a root beer with 79 grams of sugar! The Bakers Special pizza was a greasy and sloppy mess and instantly fell apart just by looking at it. It had mondo chunks of meat that didn't pair well with the sauce. My husband recommended this place from his visit a few years ago but it clearly went downhill. It's an old dilapidated mess. Cushion chairs were 20+ years old with sticky stains and butt intentions on them. It was giving biker bar and made me very uncomfortable. I was afraid I'd get sick just being in the environment. The patrons were old, obnoxious perverts. Someone even brought their dog in there (not a service dog). I couldn't overlook it's condition and the food wasn't any better. There are definitely way better options on Westheimer. EEEEYUCK!

    Cool, casual lunch a General Public. Food & Drinks were good but not superb. I would definitely go…read moreback for a solid meal and happy hour. I like the large bar at the center of the restaurant. We were basically the only people in the restaurant and saw a bunch of staff just hanging around so I would have expected the service to be excellent, but it was just standard and nothing above and beyond. The food and service sort of matched....standard but not exceptional.

    First of all, this is not a steady vibe. I've been to several and this felt more like a British…read morepub than anything. I visited for a 2nd dinner and found very few items to choose from on their menu, mostly sandwiches to my surprise. I tried both the burger and the flank steak sandwich and a tiki cocktail. Second, the service was awful. Tiki cocktail - they indicated they were out of one of the ingredients to make this drink. So I asked if they could just substitute that ingredient for cranberry juice, and they said yes. It turned out to be a decent drink even after the substitute was used. Good thing I didn't want a 2nd drink because our terrible waitress, who was apparently doubling as the bartender, never bothered to ask me. Steak sandwich - made with flank steak, sloppily put together by the kitchen staff. It look like it fell off the plate then they pieced it back together, but never made it nice again before serving. The taste was decent and meat was tender, just too much bread in this dish. Both dishes come with hand-cut fries. They were average at best. I've had better hand-cut fries though. Burger- looked and tasted good, the double patties are paper thin. You don't get much meat at all on this. I did like the taste of the patty though. As I indicated service was just bad. It took forever anytime we needed anything. I never received a refill on my water either. Even though I was sitting in a booth right next to the bar, the waitress never came over to our table to check on me. The place was sort of dead when I arrived also. Not sure if they are about to close down or what, you would think more customers would be here, but it is back and away from the main street of City Center and hard to find in the first place.
