    First time coming to Neil's Bahr and I must say it was a really cool spot. It was a Tuesday so it wasn't packed which gave me a chance to enjoy the experience. At the bar there wasn't really a menu and I wasn't offered one so I just stuck with beer. They have a bunch of racks with classic comic books and areas with tv's with Nintendo 64's and other game consoles. They had a room with a ping pong table which was a great activity if you are here on a date. Overall very laid back and a great place to have a drink.

    At #neilsbahr glancing around at the paintings of ricks face (from #rickandmorty ) I knew I was home. This is one of the best #bars in Houston, in my opinion. Solely based off the atmosphere and the unlimited games you could spend an eternity here and never get bored. It's a magical place to bring friends or even meet new ones where you can bond over comic books or get severely agitated in an intense game of ping pong. Without a doubt this is a place that everyone needs to visit. IG: @hiddenfoodgems

    ***WELCOME TO NEILS FINEST*** I had a business trip in Houston and was thrilled to find a bar with ping-pong and arcade games! First time coming to this bar it was a great experience, next day I went to this bar it escalated to the worst experience I've had in Texas. Owner of the bar didn't take any of his customer service rules into affect. He took the words of his bartender and immediately rounded his employees up to intimidate me with the classic "Get going or we will fuck you up". I thought the situation was extremely unprofessional and unnecessary to approach the customer in such a manner. I Understand bars deal with intoxicated customers all the time, but I was coherent, needed a beer, and sincerely apologized about dropping a glass from my hotel in their parking lot. I'm not sure what's more embarrassing, me bitching about being kicked out of a dive bar, or the owner rounding up his boys to deliver a "cobra kai" threat to kick my ass if I don't leave immediately. I guess this is what they mean by don't mess with Texas, or else he will get 10 more hands to put me down, thus proving their testosterone levels are Superior to mine. As a tourist I thought ping pong here would be fun for me and my employees visiting. I was wrong. Very unprofessional and poor business ownership. Any locals reading this review, this is an easy bar to cash a lawsuit with; take some aspirin, Stay sober, catch a shiner from his bad ass crew and get a decent pay out from Neil's pocket. (Not legal advice, just a tip from my previous experience)

    Amamzing place for a great time! Celebrated a friends bday here on Saturday and had an amazing time!

    Is it 18+ or 21+?

    I'm pretty sure it is 21+, being a bar and all. Give 'em a call to make sure!

I originally discovered this shop after reading reviews while visiting witchery in Galveston, and it has been on my Yelp bookmark ever since. I finally made the trip, intending to browse, compare prices, and check out the selection. Instead, I left with something far more valuable. The highlight of my visit was meeting Matthew. He was incredibly welcoming, professional, and genuinely passionate about what he does. Our conversation was magical. He shared thoughtful suggestions about different rituals and spiritual practices to explore, along with several excellent book recommendations. Whether or not someone follows those practices, his willingness to listen and offer encouragement left me feeling lighter, more hopeful, and in a much better frame of mind than when I walked in. Another highlight: This shop does not try to compete with their competitors which shows great character, they will also recommend other options that more cost sufficient and inexpensive. This part keeps me returning, as well, as the shared knowledge from Mr. Matt. I've now visited the shop twice, and each time I walk through the door, I'm hoping to see "Mr. Magic Matthew!" His warm personality and genuine customer service make every visit enjoyable. The store has wonderful atmosphere, a great selection of metaphysical items, and staff who truly make you feel welcome. For me, this is an easy 10 out of 10, and I look forward to visiting again. Fun Fact: Magick Cauldron shop is oldest and largest Magic shop in Houston TX, that originally started in Katy TX as a mattress store.

I picked up the latest issue of Dragon Ball Super and also got a Dragon Ball Energy drink, that tasted really good, as well as a Flashpoint comic book. My only complaint is that it seems that items there are sold for the price that is on the back of the book, which means you can probably find the same items cheaper on Amazon for instance. They do have a clearance/on sale section but I didn't really browse it. Overall, if you are looking for any comics, this place is the place for you.

From the outside, it's a little more polished--not exactly the scrappy dive bar exterior we grew up with--but don't let that fool you. Step inside, and it's like nothing ever changed (in the best possible way). The vibe is still unapologetically nerdy and nostalgic: old video games, comic books everywhere, tournament setups, and three custom arcade cabinets that are worth the trip alone. No pingpong room though... Even the bathrooms are keeping the tradition alive--patrons have already started tagging them up, just like the OG location. It's that kind of beautiful chaos that makes Neil's special. The crowd? Same eclectic, welcoming, slightly-chaotic energy. Whether you're there for a trivia night, a game tournament, or just to grab a drink and button-mash for a while, it still feels like the right place to be.
