When I finally came back, he remembered me and welcomed me back as if we had known each other for years. That kind of genuine kindness really meant a lot to me, and he truly made my night when I needed it most. Next Door is such a great neighborhood bar. It's perfect for a date night, but it's also a really comfortable and safe place to go on your own. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff make you feel like you belong. And one last thing--I've eaten here before, and the food is genuinely good! The menu has great quality, so this is definitely more than just a place to grab a drink. Overall, Next Door has become one of those places that feels like a little neighborhood gem. I'm really glad I found it!

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.

This is one of those spots that just makes a great low key neighborhood bar. The parking out front…read moreis small, but you can usually find a spot around if it's full. They have plenty of tables inside and seating at the bar. The patio area has a nice covered area with some TVs, typically with a local sports game on. Typically at least a couple of families are around, either playing a game or just enjoying the patio with a cold pint. Food & Drink - 4.75* Great local craft beer selection! Definitely give the wall a close look as there's probably something you haven't tried unless you frequent the place already. For food, they have plenty to choose from. Starter and shareables such as chips & queso, pretzels, flautas, or spinach & artichoke dip. For mains you can grab a salad or a guilty pleasure like burgers, wings, and chicken sandwiches. I've had plenty of the items and have never been disappointed. I definitely recommend the onion rings if you go with a sandwich meal. That's not to say the tots or fries are bad, it's just their onion rings are really on point. On Thursday they do ribeye night, so give it a go if you're looking for something a bit more substantial. Service - 4* I've found generally speaking the service is pretty good when ordering at the bar. They can get a little busy at times and slow, but never egregious. Everyone is quite friendly when you ask questions and looking for some recommendations. Cost - 4.25* Always subjective, for me, I find their pricing pretty good for an above average pint and burger. If I were to knock it a little, I think some of the larger brewers "easy drinking" lighter beers could carry a slightly less cost, or maybe run more "specials" to sell at volume with thinner margin. Just a suggestion. Overall, I've never been turned off by any of the pricing. It's definitely refreshing to support local brewers and a local bar more than going to some of the more corporate establishments that sit nearby. Overall - 4.5* Whether you live nearby or need a good meetup location for family and friends around the city, this is a spot I'd recommend to anyone seeking a laid back family atmosphere.

Lazy Oaks is a solid beer garden in the Spring Branch neighborhood that has a little bit of…read moresomething for everyone. They have plenty of indoor seating between booths, bar stools, and high tables. If the weather isn't too oppressively hot, they have a great outdoor area as well with covered picnic tables, and even a play space for kids. There's beer on tap ranging from the standard to the craft, and they offer a full bar if you're looking for something stronger. I haven't ordered food yet but everyone I know who's eaten here has said that it's above and beyond their expectations. If you're looking for a place in Spring Branch to enjoy a beer and have a casual chat with friends, Lazy Oaks will be right on target.

She was warm, attentive, and took great care of me throughout the evening. I ordered "That Cucumber Drink," and it was absolutely delicious--fresh, refreshing, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice from the Tajín rim. I also had the Texican Rolls, and they were outstanding. What I appreciated most was the atmosphere. The crowd was a great mix of people--some dressed casually, others coming from work in suits, and a few dressed up for a night out. Everyone seemed comfortable, and the vibe was relaxed, friendly, and inviting. It felt like the kind of neighborhood place where regulars know each other, but newcomers are welcomed too.

Three sheets isn't the kind of place where you go to pick up a date, it's the kind of place you go…read moreto find family. And if you want to date family, I'm not one to judge, so this place could be both. The bartenders learn your name early on, and know your order well enough to ask you if you're alright when you randomly order a scotch on the rocks. It's the kind of place you might not feel at home at first, because everybody knows everybody and you don't know anybody. But then, within a very short period of time, you start getting hugs when you walk in from people you didn't realize were family just a month before. It's a haven; where you don't feel judged and you don't feel pressure. Beyond that, the specials should not be ignored. If you see Adams pork belly fried rice, Ricky's lasagna or Joe's fried burritos, make a special trip; it's worth it. Some of the food is standard bar fare, but those specials are something else. I love this place and I'm so glad they welcomed me into the neighborhood and made it feel like home.

Texas T tavern turned into the "Holland Heineken House" during the world cup and I'm glad to have…read morevisited here the day before the Dutch/Sweden game. I've been an avid Netherlands' futbol supporter over the last 30+ years and never knew a place existed in Houston.. but was pleasantly surprised to have seen this packed house with a very lively atmosphere inside.. They got a DJ, people were singing and dancing along to Dutch songs, definitely felt like a proper watch party. Most of the crowd there tho, like myself, weren't actually Dutch, but everyone was just there for the vibes. That said, we ended up standing outside because it was probably over capacity. Took me a good 30 minutes just to order a bucket of Heinekens. From what I can tell, this place's giving more of a neighborhood dive bar. It was hot and crowded as one can get (probably over capacity if you ask me.. the parking was hard to find in the neighborhoods nearby and we had to walk a good 5-10min), and $35 for a bucket of 6 small Heinekens isn't really the best deal.. but can't blame them. I did enjoy seeing the Dutch orange bus as it was out on display right outside the bar. Great photo op Overall I'm glad to have come and experienced it, would like to check this place out again under normal circumstances to get a better feel for it.

Definitely a no-frills dive bar in a spot of Houston that is off the beaten path. I came here for a…read moregroup happy hour - had to drive through a few neighborhoods to get here and was surprised to find this place randomly situated on an industrial-like road. When I said no-frills, I meant it. The drink selection is quite slim and for someone who go out of their way for beer, there weren't really many other options. Our large party had a buffet of food - all of it was basic but tasty - panko-breaded chicken tenders, chips and queso, and quesadillas. Service was actually stellar throughout our time here. Bartenders and servers came around to our group frequently to ask if they could get us anything. I did not expect that from a divey bar like this. While I wasn't blown away by this place and probably don't have much reason to come back, I can see why folks would come out here for a drink or to watch a game, especially if living in the Spring Branch area.

Parking can be a bit of a hassle in the area, but there is a parking garage adjacent to the restaurant which makes it manageable.
