Blue Door is hands-down one of the best spots in town for a drink. Their craft cocktails are…read moreincredible, creative, and consistently excellent. 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.

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!

I have visited Buffalo Nickel a few times while visiting Midland for work and enjoyed my visit…read moreevery time. It has a nice easy-going, small-town Texas feel to it which is hard to describe unless you've lived in a town like this like I have. The inside is typically nice and chill; an ideal environment to grab a cocktail or two and conversate with a date, coworker, group of friends, whatever. Out of all the bars I have been to in Midland, I think Buffalo Nickel has the best selection of whiskey especially. I am not a huge whiskey aficionado but I have heard from ones that this is the place to go. I am more of a tequila and beer guy and they have everything I want. The unique thing about this bar is that the back patio is smoke-friendly. I am guilty of wanting some nicotine after some drinks so this is a great place for me. They also sell cigars if that is your thing. Cheers!

We sat at the bar and our bartender was very sweet and attentive. Explained the cocktails a bit for us and gave suggestions. The Pumpkin Spiced White Russian caught my eye online so I went with that and hubby had an Old Fashioned. Drinks were spot on so when the bartender said they had a great Espresso Martini I said but of course! It was absolutely delicious!!

Unfortunately, my experience was subpar to say the least. When I took a seat at the bar, something felt off right away as the bartender/waitress didn't really ask how I was doing or anything like that but asked curtly "anything to drink?" I asked for a menu since I wanted food and was then ignored for about 20 minutes. I even made eye contact with her a few times and lifted my hand to indicate I was ready to order and it felt I was purposefully being avoided. Eventually, I had to wave her down and put my order in. Almost right after I did, I was given my check. I interpreted that as I am not welcome and should leave as soon as I can. The food was decent. I got the zuni roasted chicken. The chicken and vegetables were well-cooked but very, very salty. It was almost difficult to eat. It was a disappointing and frustrating visit to this restaurant. I am not sure I would want to go back.

I unfortunately didn't have the chance to check out the speakeasy portion of the bar but maybe next time. There are plenty of games like jenga, cornhole, basketball, skee ball, the game where you throw a ball to hit the clowns down, a huge slide (see pictures), and more. They also had a DJ playing music while I was there and it looked like they do live music there too based off the stage. You can spend a lot of time here. The drinks were pretty good. A bit overpriced in my opinion, but not too bad. They have quite a few beers on tap if beer is your thing. The service was a lot quicker than I thought it would be considering how busy it was. The three bartenders working at the time were quick and friendly. The bar is also smoke friendly if that's is something that matters to you. They have a very large parking lot.
