GREAT spot for watching Chelsea soccer matches! Atmosphere is always great and good indoor and patio seating. Food has gone a bit downhill since I've been going. New brunch menu today and it did not hit the spot. Food was expensive for the quality. The breakfast tacos were just not great. The Royale Burger which had a fried egg and French toast bun was just meh. read more

One should never turn down an opportunity to pay homage to Saint Pádraig, and homage was indeed paid this day, the 17th of March. I can think of no greater way to honor one of my favorite holidays than making it my 500th review! Mad thanks to Justin T. (and crew), Lupe M., Jazzy T. for staking out and claiming the largest table on the patio. Always good to get some time from Victor H. and Brian T. in the books. Great time with everyone that came out! Parking - We met bright and early on this lovely Sunday holiday. Off the main road, the entrance to parking was not easily found or utilized, most folks missed it and came through the rear. Even with a decent crowd, parking didn't seem to be too much of an issue. They have some established parking, and also an open field behind it for overflow. No lay required. Yay free! The Bar - As one might expect, there's a large bar inside provisioning cocktails, draft beer, and maybe even some wine (don't quote me on the wine. I didn't see it). The folks behind the bar were a hustlin'. They had about 5 bar tenders in the main bar, moving people quickly. They also had a pop-up bar on the patio that was cash and venmo only. Smaller menu of items, but a good place to hit without a line if they had what you wanted. All the staff were very patient and friendly. There is food, looked like normal bar fare, but I did not purchase any. For the holiday they had live music, some swag out on the tables, and some decent drink specials. There were shots galore. My one complaint is that an Irish Car Bomb should be a full glass (pint) and not half a solo cup. The Digs - The bar itself is what you would expect of an Irish den. Inside is a little darker, and has a nostalgic feel to it. Enough room to fit enough folks, and largely standing room (at least for this holiday setup). Bar was easily accessible, low wait times. They have a large patio outside that made all the difference for drinking on a lovely day that had a wee bit o'water comin' down. The restrooms were clean (as they can be with a bunch of raucous hooligans milling about), no long waits. Good shade on the patio in the sun, and cover from the rain. We rolled with a crowd of just under 20 split between two tables, one covered one not. Everyone had a great time, service was good, ambience was on point. Twas a great holiday with great people, in a solid bar, with mostly great weather. Highly recommend spending your next St. Paddy's here. read more

Came here for St Patty's day and boy oh boy did I have the best time!!! Such an awesome spot to come and celebrate at an authentic Irish Pub!!! A bunch of friends and I met here and couldn't seem to want to leave! We sat out on the patio, it was such a beautiful day! Somehow we managed to snag a table that fit most of our crew, but there was good space for standing around as well. Soon before we knew it, this place was bustling with fellow patty's day folks! Great vibe with the music that was playing. The bartendings were tending for sure, with flowing green beer, great drinks and shots! They had such a fun positive vibe all day with the droves of people and drinks that was coming their way!! Parking was definitely a lil sus in the beginning, as if you're a speed racer like myself, you can pass the driveway pretty quickly, but I looped around and found that there is a back street also that you can get into their parking lot which is an unpaved little area behind the pub. As we drank, of course we got hungry! The few little apps and stuff we tried were good for pub food, and did the trick to keep us going for the rest of the day! I don't think we intended to spend as much time here as we did, but that just goes to show that this was the place to be!!! Huge shoutout to Jason for bringing us all together to celebrate this amazing holiday!!! read more

Johnny McElroy's was the spot to celebrate St. Patrick's Day this year with the crew. I arrived right when they opened and was able to find a parking spot out back without any problems. If pulling in from Waugh, the entrance to the lot is a little tricky to find. The lot is essentially an unfinished grass and dirt lot so keep that in mind. I was literally the first customer in and was greeted by the super friendly staff. They had this place decked out for the holiday and had beads and koozies laid out everywhere for all those who were celebrating. I was a little worried that this place was going to be a dud but the crowds came in droves a little later. This place looks like a house turned pub. The inside is smaller than the patio. We rolled with a pretty large crew and was able to snag a nice table on the patio that was covered. When the crowds reached it's peak, maneuvering around got a little more challenging. It got busy but they handled it with ease. Green beer and drinks was what I was looking for and they delivered on that. They had a nice St. Patrick's Day menu set up that had a nice variety to it. You could get a light beer and have it colored green. I started off with a Snake Bite, which is Guiness and a cider. The dark beer typically floats over the lighter cider and has a nice presentation to it. We didn't really get that here as they were pumping out drinks quick in smaller portions. It still tasted fine. I also got to try a bright green holiday margarita that was delicious. Drink wise, they have a very impressive selection of draft and bottled beers, as well as a full bar. They also have a pretty nice looking food menu with all your typical bar fare. We only partook in chips and queso which was surprisingly tasty. From what I saw, the other food looked good too. Overall, a great time was had by all on this wonderful holiday. The live music was a bonus, but I can not remember hearing one Irish song though. I could see myself coming back here from time to time. May the luck of the Irish be with ya! read more

I tried to come to this establishment for one drink later in the evening accompanied by my service dog and was told that dogs werent allowed in the bar area and would have to take him outside. I informed the lone female bartender that he was my service dog not a pet or ESA. She told me he still needed to go out on the patio, I again informed her that he is a service animal who I need that performs tasks for me and its a cold evening so I would not sit outside with him. She said she doesn't own the place and is doing what the owner would want. I again explained that it is illegal to deny me to sit inside because he is a service animal NOT a pet and her response was that she didn't want to have to ask me for papers on him. I told her that is also illegal to ask but that I did carry a copy on me. She told me to leave so I did. This is unacceptable and discriminatory, I really hope they get educated on ADA and federal laws for the future so no one else has to experience what I did this evening who has a service animal. read more

Johnny McElroy's Irish Pub & Patio is within walking distance from my office so I stopped by with a co-worker for happy hour on a Friday. We had a blast and this Irish Pub. While we didn't try any of the food, we took full advantage of the happy hour. Wells are on special during their happy hour so I stuck with one of my go to's---rum and coke. The indoor area has your typical pub feel and there's a Jukebox where you can pay to play your favorite tunes. To the side of the long bar, there's some seating outside of the bar by the front entrance. With that being said, we spent most of our time on their outdoor patio. The weather was nice so it was a no-brainer. Out there, there's picnic table-style seating and more comfortable lounge seating. Service was friendly and efficient. The prices are affordable. We made some friends randomly. All in all, it was a great evening. read more

So I went today and everything was going well, then our food came out and we got nachos and a pepperoni pizza - but some of the slices looked questionable. My boyfriend got the pizza and ate half of it anyways. I ordered a margherita pizza to go and put it in my fridge when I got home. I took it out to heat up and I opened it and noticed the slices had been shaken around, however, the slices didn't match each other! The cut lines didn't match and then some slices were shorter than others! How does that happen?? It looked like they took slices from other pizzas, put cheese over it and then reheated and "cut" it again. I'm pretty sure that's not normal. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING don't go. I'll post pictures (Yelp won't let me post a video) I took of it. I flipped it over so I could try to see the cut lines and you can just tell from the back. I'm not bs'ing on this, I work in the industry and I would NEVER think this would be okay to serve. Honestly horrific, terrible. I'm sorry, but I couldn't ever go again. read more

Have gone here a couple times and it's okay, nothing special in my opinion. We live nearby so thought it could be a good option to watch some sports and get some food. They do have a lot of screens which is nice for games and obviously you can get drinks, but the food is the pain point for me. We've tried a few different things form here and it just wasn't that good. Maybe we need to try other options, but we just have not been impressed by what we tried. For example, we got a pizza here that just had low quality ingredients and didn't even come out warm. If you just want to watch a game and grab a drink it's fine, but anything more and there are probably better options around. read more

I and some friends decided to go here for a drink, sat on the patio, and by the time we finished. My car was broken into by thieves looking for valuables. They took some that weren't in plain sight. If they can break into cars in the no-lighting parking lot, I don't see any reason why they can't just step into their patio at gunpoint to rob everyone. Be careful and park next to the ramp/steps if you have to go here. Be sure to have someone/staff walk you to your car if you aren't parked close. No cameras or proper lighting. Decided to post this just to let y'all know. read more

First, the stuff we really want to know about: food and drinks! Popped in for a quick drink with a friend. The bartender let us sample their frozen spicy mango margarita. Very different! It is made with some sort of spicy tequila. While the spicy aspect was not what I was looking for, I did like that it wasn't super sweet. There was a hint of mango. I decided to try their cucumber mule. Very refreshing during these hot Houston summer days! Mt friend had their golden paloma. It was also refreshing. Very good. We found out that their red salsa is homemade, so we shared the chips, salsa and queso. It was all very good. But, the salsa was so thick that it was nearly the consistency of tomato paste. However, everything was fresh and had nice flavors. There is a wall of local brewery (and other breweries) beers on tap for you beer lovers! Second, the reason I gave it 4 stars (instead of 5): this is NOT an Irish pub in any way, shape or form. It's basically a sports bar. We enjoyed it. The bartender was very nice. Prices are reasonable. And, I love the Houston vibe (lots of Astros stuff). But, it is not an Irish pub. read more

Quiet little bar off Waugh. Went in on a Friday around 6 PM. There were only a handful of people there and it never really got busy. Made it enjoyable to relax and enjoy conversation over drinks. The service was good - pretty quick to check and bring drinks. The outdoor patio is decent sized. The picnic table we were at was a little wobbly, but after a few drinks - who cares?

Great neighborhood bar. Excellent service. Friendly and quick. Inside there are about half a dozen TVs that they can generally accommodate most sports and teams. Large patio, partially covered, fans and one TV. Great for nice afternoons and evenings. Food is really the only downside. The kitchen isn't very big so it's mainly sandwiches, pizzas and chips. They just started steak night on Monday nights and I believe they have plans to expand the kitchen to allow for more food options. Beer selection is amazing. I'm not certain how many taps exactly but I'd guess 50-60. They also have a good wine selection and can make pretty much any mixed drink. TouchTunes jukebox if you want to play music.

Brand new, and you can still smell the varnish. Lots of wood everywhere. High top tables, long bar, extensive outdoor patio, with a semi open bar as well. Even a fire place with red booths and couches. Plenty of TV's and all turned to ESPN. A new British/Irish/American bar if there ever was one. At first service was slow, and did not notice me for a good 15 minutes. I am not complaining, cause after that they were on top of everything. They have 50 plus taps and a small food menu. There is something for everyone as far as beer. Lots of German, UK, Irish, and American crafts. Live Oak Hefe, Weihenstephaner, Paulaner, to Odell DIPA, even those horrendous Nitro beers and plenty of larger macros as well. Happy hour goes till about 7 every week day, which is $1 off all draughts. Outside of happy hour, some pints can be expensive. Odell Myrcenary should not be pushing $10 a pint, though most Texas draughts run about $6. Pint glasses are all frozen as well, which always annoys me a little. So far an A-OK three star. Nothing exceptional, but not bad. The food is what nocks this down a notch. Basically everything is store bought, or from Sysco. The corned beef for the Reuben is not even Boars Head quality, and ice cold to boot. With soggy generic rye bread that falls apart. They have a nacho (melted Velveta) and salsa (store bought, at least that is what it tasted like) plater, and the completely generic tortilla chips come from that huge stadium sized bag which are all stale. Nice enough place for a drink, but the food is not up to par at all. At least they don't blast your ear drums out with crappy music like they do at the sister bar Shay McElroy's downtown. Everyone seems nice enough here, but just not up to the many other great bars let alone restaurants around. read more

Was here a few weeks ago on a business trip. The beer was fine, the service was fine, but what was 100% unacceptable was that the bar allows patrons to smoke inside the bar. By inside I mean, people can sit on a chair outside at a bar that leads inside and blow toxic smoke into the bar. Isn't Houston a non-smoking city?

The blonde bartender was horribly rude. As an individual who has lived in the UK I do not need to be educated on the makings of an English drink and upon clarifying what I was saying be responded to with "well, this is America." I have never left a bad review of an establishment but my group of friends did not need to be treated in such a condescending manner. There were other servers who were perfectly kind and it's a shame that this person left a bad taste. Also- drinks are overpriced for an Irish "pub" on St. Patrick's Day. $7.50 for a half Guinness and Cider? Come on. read more

The husband is outside grilling everything on what looks like a standard home grill while the wife is taking orders. Orders go out in batches.

We looked at other reviews before going and went with an app we didn't hear much about, but an entree that we did hear amazing things about. Appetizer: everyone talks about the dilly bread but honestly, the puff puff pass sounded better, esp the scotch bonnet aioli. 10/10 loved the flavors together, esp the fried bread with the aioli Entrees: we had the pork belly special and the nono's pasta. Everyone raves about the pasta and rightfully so. The noodles with the right amount of bolognese was such a flavorful comfort food. The pork belly was also delicious but the pasta hit better. Dessert: of course i had to get both! We got the famous olive oil cake and their banana rum cheesecake. We didnt taste much banana unfortunately but the cheesecake was tasty.

I could eat the butter by the pint. The fingerlinging potato dish is also a must have...pretty small for $19 but tastes like heaven. Spicy! Zaddy was being a bit of a clutz that evening and knocked over my $20 mezcal cocktail, so what does he do? Orders me another one! (That's why he's "zaddy") ....kind of wish he hadn't...so wasn't worth the price tag. Skip it. The chicken dinner was definitely the winner--fresh, juicy breast, crispy skin...don't be cute, you won't finish it unless your party has at least 4 in it! The flies were ruthless! Very annoying! They were acting like the geekers that come bother you just outside your favorite fried chicken joint in south Dallas! Our waitress brought out a table fan so that made the experience a little more tolerable. The chocolate peanut butter pie tasted like a salt rock and the lemon chiffon pie had great flavor but not lemony enough for me. All in all this place is a bit pricey but truly a gem! Until next time, Nobie!

It was middle of week and a group of friends and I had a movie we were headed to, but wanted to eat first. We decided to come here, and walked in to what felt like a very cool little shop in a town somewhere in Italy! Wine decorates the walls, and you can smell all the fresh dough and breads that's bein made. We grabbed a table and perused the menu. One of my friends and I decided that we would get two sandwiches and split, so that we could try more than one item. We went with the the Crudo (prosciutto sandwich), Nonna (mortadella sandwich), and the Pollo Milanese (chicken cutlet). They were both delicious, but I think the Nonna was my fave bc the cutlet was crispy and seaonsed well, and even when I ate my leftovers the next day, it was super good. The dough was fresh and delicious, light, and airy, and I just couldn't stop eating it. Some of our other friends ordered a pizza and the arancetti, and both of those were good as well. The pizza, whatever they're doing with their dough just works! IT was super tasty, quite big servings, and easy to share with 2-3 people. As we were wrapping oup our meal, since it is World Cup, they pulled out a huge tv to turn on, so that was fun to watch the game, eat, and feel like we were having an italian style meal. Looking forward to coming back and trying some other sandos, pizza and their pasta!

Finally they have the Nonna in stock

I'll just start off with a quick recommendation from the first visit (because didn't do review that time): the Snapper - immediately yes, if you are not opposed to bony fish and working for your meal in that way lol. Now for this visit I was tempted to get the snapper again but was feeling simple & easy dining, something that didn't require me to use my hands lol. I went with the Peruvian Chicken and it did the job! Great portion, great price, great flavor. Comes with a verde sauce that I was a bit hesitant about, if I'm being honest, but it was so perfect with the chicken and the potatoes. I give it an overall 8.5/10 and it probably would've more if I would've gotten a little more potatoes with my meal. The lobster Mac was okay. The lobster was well cooked but the mac was a standard mac and cheese. Not pictured but I tried from my neighbors and liked: the seafood dip and the wagyu meatball pasta - would likely be my next Bungalow order. They also do a personal s'mores plate for birthday celebrants which I thought was really cute and unique. I must say though, parking cannnn be a hassle. But apart from that, would highly recommend!

Food waited in the private event room for 20 minutes without being served to guests, multiple drinks/glasses broke, and there was visibly no accountability for the several food issues associated with our large party. Gabrielle's attitude towards asking for corrections for your meal was substandard for what you should've received at such as "nice" establishment. The event room was unusually warm. As busy as it appears with the ratings online- I would definitely say it's inflated due to the chef (taste of food) and NOT the service. To have spent $400 for my meal with my spouse- we received a $50 meal with $0 service. Chic-Fil-A has better customer service. GM Kevin, should review the footage of the private party event that happened yesterday for the table of 17 & definitely reprimand, retrain, and reconsider some of this staff. Once he left, the night appeared to go downhill. I desired to have such a special time celebrating a friend's birthday, especially given my first time being at The Bungalow, however, this represents the worst aspects of Black establishments unfortunately. #UpscaleIdeaUnqualifiedStaffUnderwhelmingExperience

The food here has DRASTICALLY improved! New cook, much larger menu, new late night menu, the best crawfish in town by Hector, and daily specials that are amazing. We went for St. Patrick's Day on Saturday and had a BLAST. I've finally recovered. They did a limited food menu due to the amount of people in attendance, but everything was amazing. Live music by Ricky Williams set the perfect mood for the day! Their draft wall is huge... they rotate beers constantly and have a great local selection as well.
