    Pretty solid American bar food just south of downtown. Plenty of parking up front and they have interior and outside seating. The giant pretzel was alright, not worth the $14, but it's alright, 3/5. The nachos are pretty solid and their queso is good, 4/5. The Houston Cowboy burger was pretty solid and the patty is cooked well; a bummer that for $19, the burger doesn't come with a side, 4/5. Service is decent for a bar and slightly slow for a sit down restaurant. Overall, I couldn't taste the organic or the artisanal bit, but the food is solid for the cuisine.

    My experience at On The Kirb was great! It being my first time with my visiting friend who can only eat vegan and, gluten-free meals, which On The Kirb has a great variety to accommodate that need with that being said the taste of the food was amazing and I believe what makes a restaurant's environment welcoming, and comfortable is the service as well as a safe space. The ambiance in this place, definitely did that with the modern sleek style, clean space, and variety of sports screening. What really made our experience a lot more enjoyable was the service our waitress Hailey was great as well as the lovely Manager Paola. She was very attentive while ensuring an overall great experience. The team work and positivity from all staff definitely delivered. I highly recommend for anyone wanting to try out On The Kirb!

    Great spot for quick bites, a meal, or to come for drinks with family and friends! Only minor complaint are the single ice cubes they use, which stick to the black "felt-like" napkin they are frozen in and have little black particles floating around in your drink. Once we figured out what those were, no complaints, and came back the next day!

    This place is a sports bar that we love the food at, they have so many options that taste fresh and satisfy all of our friends. They have pretty classic drinks and options like beer buckets. We have come for some big events like the super bowl and to watch some different soccer games. It's usually packed but usually not too hard to find a spot if you get there a little early! Everyone usually has a lot of spirit and its been a fun atmosphere.

    Great service. Great drinks. Chris is awesome! And I love the pizza!

    Went to watch a basketball game and have drinks. The ambiance and vibe are nice. There are plenty of TVs, parking and seating. The burger and drinks were good. I recommend getting the truffle fries.

    Nachos On The Kirb
    Marcy J.

    I went to catch up with an old friend for lunch and he decided to go to On the Kirb. My favorite part about a restaurant here in Houston is when I know parking is easy peasy which it was! We made it during their happy hour which was the perfect way to start this outing. I started off with the Hibiscus margarita which was on their seasonal menu. It was so refreshing and delicious. I had been craving nachos for quite a bit so decided on the chicken nachos. The nacho portion was HUGE! I had to double check with my server to make sure it was the single portion. As easy as nachos are to make you would be surprised as to how easy it is to mess up. But not these!! The chips were fresh and tasty. The chicken was tasty, the guac and queso were chefs kisses. This was a guilty pleasure but tasted so so fresh and light!!!! I will definitely be back to try other things on the menu.

    Loving the winter seasonal drinks Not the buttons was too cute I felt bad drinking. The bartender Chris was heavy handed with it too. The vibe is great not packed and great music.

The ambiance was great for the holiday they had themed drinks and specials going on, which added a fun touch and made it feel festive without being chaotic.

It felt like a place you could hang out for a while, whether you're there to celebrate something or just have a few drinks with friends. One thing to note is they don't serve food, I did hear they rotate food trucks at times, but none were there when we went which was a bit of a downside, but they did allow us to bring in outside food, which honestly made up for it and gave us more options. Parking wasn't too bad when we went, and since it wasn't super packed, everything felt smooth and easy. Overall, great vibes, good drinks, and a fun place. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for a casual hangout or social night out.

    Where to begin. The Phoenix, previously the Firkin, has been around for two decades. Going on…read morepast a decade since their name change is saying something is done right in a town chock full of sports bar options. There's a lot to like about it here. Parking is limited, but they do have a lot, which is nice. The inside has the typical pub feel you'd want if you're out to watch a game from first pitch. The patio is solid, with plenty of tables and cooling near them in the summer months. Food & Drink - 5* They have a pretty diverse selection of menu items to fit what you may be craving. Personally, it's hard for me to pass up the nachos and fish 'n chips. I find their fish and chips to be one of the best in the city. There's certainly others, but you won't be disappointed here. Nice crisp fry, big piece of cod, and some great fries. If anything could improve, I'm more of a crunch fry person over heavy oil, but to each their own. That isn't to say the fries are bad. Their tartar sauce is good. For beer, they have several options from regular domestics, to local crafts, to more global / EU focused beers that any respectable pub should have - Guinness , Hofbrau , Kilkenny all off draft and many more in bottle. Service - 3* Here's where it can be a little hit and miss. I've had times where it's quick or the table service was on point. I've had instances where when it's packed it can take a bit if you're not directly at the bar. I have also seen a couple of times where I'm charged more for the pint than the price on the menu. This happened on my most recent visit - $6 pint on the menu, charged $7.50. I don't know why they do this, at the end of the day, as someone who spent plenty of time in the industry, I'm just going to take it out of your tip for trying to play games with me. Do better. My guess most people don't pay attention and it's a way to bleed a slightly higher tip out. For me, it's about being ethical , straight forward, and deliver great service, you'll get rewarded. Cost - 4* Subjectively, I find their food to be priced fairly for what you get in terms of quantity and quality. This is a spot that while it is pub food, it is a spot you can come to even if you're not seeking to catch a game. Overall - 4* For anyone that is looking for an unpretentious bar, consistent food, and great vibes - this is a spot to check out. My only tiff is with the service. My advice, check your tab, particularly if you're with a group.

(easy to get a drink thanks to the waitstaff circulating the floor) The beer selection is consistently good, and the overall vibe gives you that classic British pub feel, reminiscent of the Sherlock/Baker Street pubs I frequent back in the day. That said, the food was a letdown for me on this most recent visit. I tried out their fish and chips (even upgraded to the extra filet), and unfortunately it was one of the worst I've had. And that's coming from someone who's tried plenty of pub food around Houston. It was mostly thick batter, overly greasy and soggy, and the fries underneath weren't fresh, just limp and bland. It didn't feel like it was made to order or wasn't made with care at all.. Overall, it's still a decent spot to catch a game and grab a pint. Parking can get tight during peak hours, but the solid service and lively crowd make it a decent hangout for match day.
