From DFW but was in the area visiting friends. I was at another establishment for dinner and a drink and asked for a neighborhood bar nearby where I could hang out for a few hours. Nikki's was recommended. Had a wonderful time playing tunes and being served by Susan. Also had a couple good conversations. You can tell this place has a lot of loyal regulars many of which had to stop in for a few minutes to connect with their comrades. It's an old "dive bar" as they call them but couldn't have felt more at home. read more

Nikki's is a neighborhood dive good for no frills beers and mixed drinks. I've come by for a few happy hours with co-workers and have always had friendly service and a couple cold beers. As far as perks go, there's a table in the corner with a crock pot chugging away for the confident to grab a free bite. They've got a pool table, a jukebox and a small smokers patio out back in the alley. Beyond that, grab a bar stool and drink. They don't have a massive selection of beers on tap, or much top shelf booze, but if you temper your expectations, you should be happy enough with the outcome. read more

Nikki's is my absolute favorite bar by far, it doesn't matter what kind of person you are it's so diverse and everyone's so friendly. The bartenders are absolutely amazing, Lauren, Lindsey & Paige are my favorite, they are sweet but also know how to hold their ground which is very admirable. They are very welcoming & know how to keep things fun. Thursdays they have pool tournaments but beware because most of the people who play are really good. read more

Worst bartender ever. Her name was Lauren and she dropped our card behind the bar and she insisted she gave it back to us. When we told her she didn't she told us to get the " fuck out" we asked her to look for the card and she said she wasn't going to look through the "hundreds" of cards she had. She eventually found it on the floor behind the bar. She never apologized and flung the card at us. Worst service ever. Do not go here! read more

Got out of my car and stepped on an empty whipit charge. I suppose it's related to the smoke shop being next door. Whatever. It looks like a dive joint but it's not. Its rather clean and neat actually. Was expecting good beer but they have only karbach & st Arnold. The rest is crap. This place could be great with better beer. They are using liquor meters on the shots. Kind of takes the neighbor out of neighborhood bar. What's the point? I expect that with a trendy bar which this is not. They have a back patio which is nice. The have bar food, didn't try any. I passed this place many times and finally stopped by. It's forgettable. Its definitely a regulars type place. If you live nearby maybe this would be a place for you. I probably won't go back. Meter that. read more

Ambiance (3.5/5): Pretty much your typical Irish pub. Chill, lots of wood, a decent amount of TVs. The type of casual spot where you can have a good beer, talk, and watch a soccer game. Which is exactly what we did since the World Cup was going on. We sat at the bar. They also have a patio in the back, but I didn't check it out. Service (4/5): McElroy's wasn't too busy when we arrived, but service was solid. We had a beer, closed out, and we were on our way. Food (N/A): We were on a liquid diet, but I did notice that they have free hot dogs during Astros games. That's a pretty awesome perk. Drinks (4/5): As you would expect, heavy on beer though they have a full bar. When I'm at an Irish pub, I'm going to go with an Irish or British beer. They have a good number of those options too.

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.

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!

Atmosphere is beautiful, but service for a private party of 17 was extremely poor. Lackluster…read moreservice, "manager" Gabrielle has extremely poor customer service and attention to detail and apologetics. 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

This is my favorite bar. Everyone is really friendly, even if you're new to the bar or to Houston, the regulars will make you feel right at home. I'm not sure what Danielle G. was talking about with the crockpot, but Tuesday is burger night and Wednesday is steak night and they have a cook who grills to order. Its a typical neighborhood bar with some Irish flair. The crowd ranges from the young and hip, to middle-aged and wild. Perfect bar for those who want to get away from the usual midtown scene of affliction-wearing knuckle-draggers or babbling teenie-boppers filling the jukeboxes with Britney. Maybe thats what Danielle was searching for, but all you'll find here is good tunes, good food, and good people! read more

I've been to a lot of dives but this one is by far the best. The bartenders are top-notch. They know what they're doing they take great care of their customers and v friendly. It's a straight up 2 to 3 ingredient drink no frills neighborhood bar. If you're looking for a comfortable, welcoming place where you can go alone, feel safe and comfortable and maybe make a friend or two you couldn't do better! read more

If you love dive bars (cozy small) this is your MF place, incredible staff, definitely a CHEERS BAR (where everyone knows your name), not everyone can get down.

What an adorable find!…read more We've been to this shopping center several times over the years and have made note of the little Irish bar in the corner. Well, we finally decided to stop in before grabbing dinner next door, and I'm so glad we did! It was about 5 p.m. midweek, so the crowd was light. We sat at the bar and I ordered the Irish Cider that was on tap. It was cold and crisp and refreshing. Not too sweet. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was adorable. We're definitely coming back next time we find ourselves nearby.

The pub can be found within a shopping center off Eldridge Pkwy with plenty of nearby parking and proximity to a fun cigar shop. The bar allows outside food, and the adjacent pizza shop seems to be a popular choice. The service is friendly, and they feature live music, a large indoor and outdoor space, and, most importantly, pour a great Guinness. Five stars.

The atmosphere at Woody's is really what makes it stand out.

The manager did apologize and offered us a free hour of Virtual darts, which was actually pretty fun (honestly more entertaining than the simulators). Still, the pricing felt steep -- $13 per person for pool and $30 per hour for darts is ridiculous. Overall, nice idea and setting, but not worth the price.

I can't say enough great things about Rosa. They had a Galentine's special menu and I ordered their version of the French 75 while my partner ordered a Long Island. She was personable, funny, and really made you feel like you're among friends catching up. The owner needs to put her recipe on the menu. She gave us a sample of what she created; it was a tequila based with hibiscus. It was smooth and we suggested she could add some jalapeño to spice it up. She served it with a tajin rim. Chef's kiss! If you want a place where to you can chill and talk amongst friends, definitely check this place out!

Interesting pub with, what seems to be, a heavy locals gathering. It's a very small but cozy bar…read more They had karaoke the night I ventured in for a quick drink. The service was good, and the prices are decent. They have a small patio right outside the front door. Parking is very convenient. I could see my car from the inside of the establishment.

The day before the game we hit up twin peaks after we arrived and checked into our hotel. Although it was cool there, we were looking for more football fans with vibes so we decided to check out Kirby Ice House and was so happy we did! The following day after we left our World Cup game, we went back to twin peaks to grab wings to go and headed back to Kirby's for the next 5 hours for the remaining games! It's a HUGE sports bar with LOTS of TVs and seating areas/options. If you don't mind the heat, they have a huge outdoor patio with plenty of TVs. Me?? We avoided that until the sun went down lol. Inside they still have a lot of tables and TVs or you can opt for the bar and there's plenty of TVs there as well. I love that the vibe in here is super chill! Everyone was very nice. Kim the bartender was the best! They don't serve food but they have different food trucks each day (they have a schedule on their website) and they also allow you to bring outside food just not alcohol. Their cocktails are pretty good and they have a big variety of beers and specials.

The indoor bar area is massive, and the patio is just as big, making it great for large groups or events. It definitely has that laid-back, social vibe, and it's also dog-friendly, which is a nice touch. Customer service was good, and the drink prices were reasonable, especially for a place of this size and popularity. It did get pretty crowded, which adds to the energy if you're going for that kind of atmosphere. There isn't a full kitchen, but there was a food truck on-site (I believe it was Hearsay). It was okay--not bad, but nothing standout. You can also bring in outside food or order from nearby spots, which is convenient. Nothing super fancy or over-the-top, but if you're looking for a casual place to hang out, watch a game, and enjoy drinks with a group, this gets the job done.

Nice neighborhood bar, I remember coming here when it used to call some else it (Might as Well -…read moreLounge and Boozenasium). Now Loose Cannon is still bring the crowd out, so the parking will be tight here on the weekend. As a disable person, I can say this place is not disable person friendly. The walk way to the restroom in the back is crowded with people and table and chairs it is difficult to get around, speaking of restroom, is not wheelchair friendly, there are no bathroom safety bars and the space between the toilet and the sink is small and tight. So if you have mobility issue, do not come here as it will be a challenge for you to have a good time. I love that they have THC drinks here so I try the Coconut one, I forgot the name, it was very tasty and you can feel the effect of the THC. I love they gave you free popcorn here for snacks.

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.

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.

I haven't ordered food yet but everyone I know who's eaten here has said that it's above and beyond their expectations.
