    I see what you're trying to do International. You might not be my go-to place for a night on the town, but we just want different things, International. Regardless, I give you major kudos, International, because your sharp design and interesting menu are, at minimum, intriguing. The first time I walked in to International was mid-day when they just opened. The small bar tables outside grabbed by attention and I had to know what was inside. I walked into a NYC looking bar. A narrow spot lined with exposed brick walls, with a glass ceiling on the roof. The art and decorations are (for the most part) minimal... so nice. Even though I didn't have time to grab a bite or a drink, I couldn't stop raving about this place because the design is just gorgeous! And the staff I interacted with were all amazing, one even gave my husband and I a guided tour. The next time I came was with a small group of people and we decided to eat at International. This is the sh*t I don't like (sort of). Initially, customer service sucked. It wasn't super packed when we arrived, but we waited and waited at a table until I eventually just went up to the bar and asked "Are there no waiters here?" Apparently I was talking to a waiter. The food is upscale bar food... smaller portions, but good for sharing. And they also offer Tap nachos, made just like the originals. Tried the ahi tuna wonton chips... loved these and my husband even wanted another order. Then I had the pork belly sliders. Nothing really stood out about them, but they were pretty good. The most interesting item of the night was the yucca fries. Sweet and delicious, perfect with their aoili. Now to the "sh*t I don't like". You can't order drinks from your waiter... not even a Coke. So yup, every time we wanted anything to drink, we had to wait at the bar. So obviously if you eat here, you'll have a minimum of two checks. As the Trumpster would say, "NOT NICE!" It's more of an annoyance than anything, but worth mentioning since the bar might actually get packed and you have the potential to wait for quite a while. Alas, International, I like what you're doing. It's cool. The design is amazing. Good place to grab a drink with friends and maybe some quick bites.

    Stopped here with friends while our kids were at Fab Lab. We were looking for a place to sit down, talk, and have a drink. We found it. The place is just across the street from San Jacinto. Which is very convenient. It was very early, so we had the place pretty much for ourselves. The menu is very simple. Which I love! They have plenty of options. We went for the dish with tostones (fried plantains). Aside from the fact that the chicken needed some more salt, the combination of tostones, chicken, pickled onions, cheese, and avocado was excellent. We devoured those little things pretty quickly. They also provide chips and salsa. Warm crispy delicious chips. Yes, please! Really neat and large location with great service. The fact that it was open on a Saturday and during the day was perfect. Too many venues are closed during the day on weekends. Definitively worth another visit!

    They may have a bug problem when three gnats ended up in my drink in the time it took me to eat my sandwich

    Just had brunch here. It was a nice vibe, DJ was spinning some cool tunes, waitress and barstaff were very friendly and attentive. I Ordered the chicken sandwich with yucca fries. It came out with sweet potato fries, Im not normally a fan, but these were good! They had a coating on them, they were piping hot and a nice firm texture, they were good! I told the waitress to not bring me the yucca fries. The chicken breast was hand battered, could had used more flavor, but it was good. The first mimosa was free and $2 thereafter. I had some good food, good service, good tunes and good priced mimosa. I'd definitely come back. Check out this spot, you Yelpers will not be disappointed!

    I've only been to International once but I can already tell I'll be coming here frequently. In my year in El Paso, I've quickly realized a couple things. 1) El Paso is definitely growing and expanding in awesome, if frequently painful ways. 2) El Paso is about 5-7 years behind other cities in terms of whats trendy. And 3) El paso is very, very faddish when it comes to new bars. 5 months ago Later, Later was the place to be (its still very fun mind you), then it was Hotel Indigo, and now its going to be International. Honestly, it can be hard to keep pace. All that being said, International is in an awesome location. Across from San Jacinto park its clearly aspiring to be like the popular Austin/Dallas/big city rooftop bars you might find in those respective locations. With three levels and a front patio, International has a variety of areas you can hang out and talk with people. Its proximity to other bars and restaurants makes it an ideal weekend night spot. I cant speak to any of the food offerings or specialty drinks, but the vodka sodas and vodka redbulls were made strong and fast. Although the rooftop cooler/freezer could be colder as the tequila was not chilled enough. But I digress. If you are looking for the new hip scene you can't go wrong with International.

    Not sure what was up with tonight, but no hip hop on the top floor. I hope this isn't a regular occurrence.

If it's not too busy, the staff are usually very personal / happy to talk to you. - Great vibes - my favorite is usually the main tiki room and its booths, but the outside patio can be really nice as well - Food - portion sizes vary a good bit, so I recommend telling the how hungry you are and/or asking about portions.

    We were looking for an interesting place within walking of our hotel for dinner on a Tuesday…read moreevening and saw this pop up on a couple of quality searches. They're known for creatively risky craft cocktails and their thick burgers, so we dove into both, including bacon/cheese burgers and the filthy martini ($18, gin with sardine brine and blue-cheese-stuffed olives!) and the Chupa Mi Chili ($20 Sotol, chili syrup, crema, bitters). She loved the salty/bitter martini (not so much me Lol) and I really liked my Chupa, although about half foamed out of the glass (see vid). The burgers were excellent as were both the roasted veggie and shoestring fries. It was empty when we walked in around 7/7:30 but by 9p it was approaching half full... not bad for a Tuesday night. Ambiance in this tall-ceilinged venue is dark/cozy and staff was fun/friendly.

Asked for info on the 6 Japanese whiskey, no idea what they are or a price list. Johny Black $18 for the smallest single I ever saw.

Ohhhh and the table water is unfiltered chlorinated tap water. Really???

Cocktails are uniquely crafted, the ambiance pulls you right in and the bar is probably the best place to be! It's very clean as well! They have a good range of an oyster selection with great pairings, something for everyone at the table! I was so happy to see Crystals hot sauce again! I'm a dirty martini girl and of course I'd recommend blue cheese stuffed olives! The fries were crispy, hot and served as a nice sized portion as a shareable. Customer service is 10/10, very attentive, kind and knowledgeable on the menu items and engagement with guests. I've had the opportunity to visit twice and this will be one of my frequent regular visits while here in El Paso! As they say, the world is your oyster--and this place serves some of the best pearls of the sea I've had."
