    I have long been a patron of 606 W. Missouri, but having moved on from Midland it has been awhile since I visited. My girlfriend and I popped in during a recent pub crawl in Midland, and the place still has it. Efficient service, a great vibe with the photos on the walls, great drinks, and peanuts & popcorn on which to snack. The menu is comprehensive, and the food is tasty. As a bar critic, I rate it as one of the top bars I have known. Keep on keeping on guys.

    Steak fingers, Mac and green beans

    Have been coming here since probably 2013, I have lots of friends in Midland and The Bar is always our #1 place to stop at when I visit! Everything is so good, especially if you like cheap drinks and good bar food! Service is always excellent. Steak fingers are the way to go, but can't go wrong with anything on the menu! Will always stop here when coming to Midland!!

    Filet, green chili Mac n cheese

    I love The Bar. I've been a handful of times, but this was the first time ordering food. Got lunch with coworkers, and we all got filets haha I ordered my bacon wrapped filet medium rare with green chili mac n cheese and steamed veggies. At ~$26, I thought it was a fair price for a filet and 2 sides! Can't wait to go back!

    Gross Bathroom conditions - if bathroom vents look like this - what does the kitchen look like?

    Place has been in Midland forever but restrooms are disgusting! Ceiling vents are caked with 10+ years of dust and debris. Makes you wonder what the kitchen and food storage areas look like.

    Sirloin chopped steak with brown gravy and onions, mashed potatoes and fried okra

    I like this place. Always busy and sometimes hard to get service. Live band makes up for it. Nice for Midland.

    Great food, drinks and entertainment!!! But the atmosphere is blah, way too much smoke and service is slower than it used to be.

The craft beer selection is just as strong, with plenty of great options on rotation. What really sets this place apart is how much they care about their community and their staff. They actively encourage their own employees to create original cocktails and even feature those drinks right on the menu next to the bartender's name. It's a small touch that shows how much they value the people who work there, and it keeps the cocktail list fresh and personal. They've also done a fantastic job expanding people's palates when it comes to tequila. Whether you're a longtime fan or someone who's just starting to explore it, they make it approachable and exciting. I'll always recommend Blue Door to anyone looking for a great beverage. And if you're not drinking or taking a break, don't skip them. Ask about their mocktails. The lineup is just as thoughtful and impressive as everything else they do. Truly a place that loves its community and its people. Highly recommend.

    Saint Blaise is a fantastic choice for a more formal brunch, lunch, or dinner in Midland, TX…read more MISSED MARK Getting the cons out of the way... The reason it missed the 5-star mark with me was our waitress was slow to do everything. Even with taking our drink order. Then our food order. The worst was waiting for my final bill. And then she forgot our takeout box for my youngest. I don't know why she didn't have a greater sense of responsiveness with our party of 3, but it was like this the entire duration of our meal on July 25, 2026. It was super frustrating! The other reason I knocked off a star off was because the towel dispenser was depleted in the lone restroom. I had to flag down an employee with drenched hands. THE PROS I called about 20 minutes ahead of time to reserve a table because I knew this brassiere was on the small side. The lady on the phone was courteous and professional. If you have a hot date, I highly recommend reservations particularly in the evening. This seems like that sort of place. When we arrived, I found free street parking a short walk away. We were promptly greeted and seated. To enter the restaurant, you must go inside the Frost Bank tower's lobby, but to exit there is a door just beyond the bar. This place has beautiful, eclectic decor. The bar area was somewhat rounded and has an easygoing, but classy feel to it. THE FOOD The ambiance is what made this a great mother/daughters brunch date. The food sets it apart from the majority of restaurants in this oil industry town. The have East Coast-sourced oysters on the menu! These are far superior to their West Coast counterparts. I would have opted for these for our app if it weren't for my minions, I mean children. Pigs in a Blanket ($15.00) - yet another appetizer my daughters pigged out on that I didn't get to try. And they said they weren't that hungry! Lies all lies. They looked divine with nicely cooked juicy sausage and everything seasoning on the pastries. Avo Toast ($11.50) - my newly-turned teen daughter and I both had our own. I opted for eggs over easy which were cooked nicely. She oddly chose scrambled eggs for her, but she ate pretty much all of it. Smashed Burger ($17) - my youngest had this and said it was excellent. Nice touch with an American flag planted into the top bun. For the umpteenth time she did not share a fry with me. It is what it is. Mocha latte ($5.00) - my youngest's birthday which I will be missing since she'll be visiting her father is coming up so this was a treat for her. I tried it. Quite good after being thoroughly stirred. 1988 Martini ($18) - pricey but oh so good. The olives stuffed with bleu cheese were not bad. I had to try it even though the thought of bleu cheese kind of turned me off. Lol. Will I return? Of course because I have faith it will be 5 stars next time. Look at the other raving reviews! RATING BREAKDOWN (4 stars overall) Food: 5 | Service: 3 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 4
