I've been here three times for happy hour. Late 2025 was good food good beer and the Howlers…read morewere great and no cover charge. Early April 2026 $5 a piece cover charge. Warm beer funny tasting margaritas but good food and the great band. Our friends refused to pay the cover charge and didn't come in. Seven workers for just the wife and I. We spent $50. I saw several people come in but turned around at the cover charge window. Third time late April 2026 we had twelve people coming but they all went somewhere else because of the cover charge. No one wants to go to a bar for a drink or two (or more) if they have to pay to get in the door. Three of us still went to hear the band but they said they cancelled all the happy hour bands because of poor attendance. Surprise, surprise. Oh and the time just the wife and I were there, it took 25 minutes to get our drinks after we ordered. The first time I rate a five second time a one third time a zero.

This place is amazing! The art and decor is great with good food and great service. It's…read moredifferent and I love it compared to other local venues. Coming from Seattle to relocating to Weslaco, I'm glad I found this place as it reminds me of home. It's eccentric and if you like good food and music then this is the place for you! Great for any day of the week not just the weekend. Great place to hang out. Their butter garlic salmon and meatballs is to die for!

Love this place!! Went last night with friends. It is a quirky place with lots of interesting art…read more The bartender, Chrystal, is fantastic. Very helpful with selections. The food is fantastic. We shared the mushrooms and ahi dishes and they exceeded our expectations. Won't be sharing next time! We went in at six. They don't start serving food until 6 or seven, so had a few beers first. This place is very busy after 10. VERY busy. But only 5 or 6 people when we went in, which is perfect for retirees. Doesn't open until 6 now. But check hours before going. Great selection of craft beers and ciders on tap. The Moscato was also excellent.

We were visiting family in the Valley for Christmas and wanted to have a date night. The Sidebar…read morecompletely exceeded our expectations. The space is such a vibe, with really cool nods to the building's history (old newspaper printing press details and framed original prints). We had the lamb, filet mignon, and espresso martinis. Everything was excellent. The espresso martinis were a highlight (those are so easy to mess up and these were perfect). The meats were cooked exactly right. Our server, Cassandra, was amazing. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared some great history about the building. I have Celiac disease, so I have to eat gluten free. Both Cassandra and the chef double-checked ingredients for the dishes I was considering, which I really appreciated. Absolutely worth a visit. We'll be back next time we're in town.

The front office girls from Linda (office mgr) and the rest of the office girls and guys are absolutely the best!
