Ambiance: There was both indoor and outdoor seating with tables, chairs, and benches. The outdoor area had fans, so it wasn't too hot, which was a nice touch. It was also really cool to see all the beer being brewed right there. They had a wide variety of options, which made choosing fun. Service: The service was great! We told the guy at the counter it was our first time, and he asked us what type of beer we usually like. He even let us try a sample before we made our choice, which was super helpful. Border Town: We ended up choosing this Mexican lager since we usually enjoy Dos Equis. I'd say it tasted even smoother than Dos! I honestly really enjoyed it, and the price was around $8 for a pint, which felt fair for the quality.

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.

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.

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.

Now the drinks here are not the strongest, although they do two drinks well, which are the Manhattan and a Old Fashioned. But most cocktails are pretty weak.

They start you off with a complimentary little cup of hot seafood broth that's so deeply flavored and warming. They have excellent micheladas, too. The caldo 7 mares is an impressive mix of fish and shellfish but be warned, it's very messy because everything is in the shell. The empanizado Baja style fried shrimp were crispy outside and juicy inside. The octopus pulpo de mojo ajo was tender and complex and cooked perfectly. The fish tacos were fresh tasting and yummy. We shared a large platter (ceviche milotero) with the table, which was amazing. Fresh shrimp, fresh avocado and cucumber, tomatoes, onions, and oranges. Wonderful aguachile marinade soaking everything and served with fresh tostadas. The only disappointment in the meal was the rice, which was overcooked and flavorless. Note there are only seafood dishes here - no other proteins except chicken wings, and no vegetarian options. Highly recommended for excellent Sinaloa cuisine.

If you are in a hurry, you may want to reconsider. It took a few mins to get a table but no big deal. Then it took several mins to get waited on. I didn't even look at a menu and ordered a chz burger and onion rings and tea. Didn't want to risk the waitress not coming back for a while. And she wasn't being lazy, they were just slammed busy. She did say "it's like this everyday " So you're wondering why the 5 stars. The food. Actually the burger. It was one of the best I've ever had. Reminds me those old side of the road diners that cooked everything on a big grill burger. A little greasy, lots of flavor. Just flat good. And as for timing, I do get here at 12:30. By 1:00, it had thinned out.

Forewarning, if you are someone who doesn't like cigar smoke, this won't be the spot for you. There are some nice lounge type seating in the back to relax with a cocktail while smoking your cigar of choice. While I'm not one to partake in cigars all that often, I can appreciate them on a special occasion. I can't speak to that experience here as I came strictly for cocktails and to enjoy the outdoor patio as the weather was fantastic. I'll also say that with how busy it was, it was a bit loud inside, but nothing out of the ordinary of a busy crowd. Let's jump in. Service - 5* Immediately upon entering and approaching the bar, I was greeted with a friendly acknowledgement and asked what I was looking for. I had an idea but was curious to see their menu. After placing an order, the drinks came out quite quick as they have a good balance of bartenders, I believe three were behind the counter so running drinks to tables and getting them seemed to flow well. Overall, the bartenders are attentive and the wait time for a drink isn't terrible at all. Cocktails - 4* The cocktails themselves are very typical classics. Their spirit selection is robust and definitely worth a look if you're seeking a clean, straight spirit to sip. All solid choices and there's a range for what taste profile you're wanting to have. As for execution and delivery, I didn't find the cocktails to be amazing by any means, but for the pricing, we were quite happy. Pricing - 5* I think with where prices have trended this place is keeping it consumer friendly and delivering. Overall - 4.5* I'd come back, I found the cocktails selection, spirit options, ambiance and patio seating options, and service to all land. If you're ever in the downtown Bryan area, I highly recommend stopping by here!

But more importantly they serve excellent cocktails! They have over 100 different cocktails and from what I could judge from the couple that I had, they must all be excellent. I started out with a caipirinha which just how I like it - not too sweet. My next drink was a pisco sour. It too was excellent and both were super-refreshing! But the kicker for me was that they have cigar smoking section. Since it's not a cigar lounge, they have a tiny cabinet humidor, but their policy is that as long as you drink you can smoke your own cigars. I came prepared with my own cigars and that made the experience that much more enjoyable. Next time I'm in town, this will definitely be a stop! Finally, they have a sister lounge that is a speakeasy that doesn't even have a name. We went to the speakeasy after dinner and the drinks there were also excellent. If you go to West End, ask them about the speakeasy!
