    Grandma's Living Room?
    Stephanie G.

    Yay lit Grandmas living room! The drinks are tasty & boozy! The bartender, Gil*, is super chill & has great conversation. I came on a Tuesday around 5pm, not crowded at all. I was able to talk to Gil about what drink they were popular for & if it was for me. We settled on, Raspberry Green Tea drink. It was served in the cutest tea cup, I actually drank it like tea...oops...kinda. The next drink I had didn't have a name, we just had a conversation & he made it. I'LL BE BACK!

    Just like grandmas house with the floral wallpaper, old school framed photographs and comfy couch! They have great drink specials and the cutest glasses. Perfect for a mellow night with friends but gets crowded quick. They also have bingo on Monday's :) 8/10 recommend

    Cool Place

    Bingo night lol!!! First time in this place must say it is a trip!!! Good music good drinks! Nice and friendly staff! My drink had all the taste of mezcal which was awesome and they really put love and time into them! Good thing I came to this place on a weekday let me have the full experience!!!

    its a quaint bar that invites the hipster side clientele of say.. older richer folk? i'd call it trendy for say 30+ yo's? look like bunch of office type coworkers getting together for drinks, immersed in their own microcosms of pea coat lubber.. as it were.. i came for a lnsc event, britpop vs disco. and most of the nite less than a handful of other ppl dancing. lame af because music was good. not that igaf really, i dance what i wont! such a small dancefloor only fits like 10 ppl.. but shoutout to lnsc dj's for allowing me to access my inner grind ho for the night. bathroom is such fubar too-- 1 person at a time, 15 min wait to pp at prime time. to wit, it's a solid back to back with monarch, and between the two, drawing what seems to be a lion share of el paso's real music scene. yet more lounge than what seems not, i'd pick it up for a weekday drink, not to get that weekend twerk game.

    The owner is chill and super cool. The bartenders are awesome. Had an amazing time. If you get to catch leni say hi

    It's like your grandma's cozy house in Wonderland... but instead of tea it's craft beers and spiked lemonades.

    Honestly though, if Grandma could mix a drink as well as this place can, I probably would have visited a lot more as a kid!

    Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted the pictures for The Reagan, but I highly looking them up!…read moreAwesome vibe. And very unique. If I remember correctly, I entered El Paso on a Monday or a Tuesday, and The Reagan was super quiet. I was informed (by more than one party) that it's packed on the weekends. That makes sense. This place has a speakeasy vibe but with an almost classy sensual undertone. It's definitely unique. I had an Old Fashioned after a long drive from San Antonio. I thought I was celebrating after a poker room in SA just made a verbal agreement with me for good money after a three-hour conversation with the owner. However, he was apparently upset I posted a video from another club in SA that was 40-minutes away and only runs one game. He was also afraid to tell me this and a coward. Solution would have been: "Can you please take that video down?" Whatever, dude. Part of reason that business won't last. A business should be run with honesty, respect, and transparency. Anyway ... at The Reagan, a biker dude came in and he was a singer in Germany because he met his German wife in the US when she was watching one of his shows and introduced herself. He was about to go back to Germany but heard good things about The Reagan so drove an hour on his bike to see it the day before he left. And he was impressed. We talked for about an hour about many things. If you visit El Paso, The Regan is a must! It's like being in a movie. Which movie? Maybe a mix between a 007 movie and Boogie Nights.

    Really cool decor…read more inventive drinks and no dust flying inside. Incredible service !!!!

The front desk at my hotel recommended The Tap, and I was a little taken aback by how divey it was. Very early '70's bar. Dark, with lots of locals.

I ordered the famous Nachos and added cheese the total for that order was…read morearound $17 I even added "instructions" after reading some comments about people getting orders literally plain with nothing on it. I literally put "extra jalapeños with everything on it please" on the extra instructions and I even called and asked for extra salsa (to be able to mention I added those extra instructions so my nachos would for sure have everything on it) The order was dropped off and my nachos were plain dried up shredded chicken with just cheese nothing else. I also ordered the Chilli Relleno burrito and chili Colorado Burrito. The only good burrito was the Chili Relleno.. the other one had a sweet flavor to it and seemed too salty as well I heard really good things about this place and I've ordered from here before last time I was in ELP and I remember the order being pretty good.. I honestly just wanted to try a different item this time and it was a big mistake. That was def a waste of money I just spent tonight. Very disappointed. Won't be coming here ever again.
