Came from California to hang out with my niece, she suggested this place and it was a great kind lounge place. The bartender Arias was spectacular her drinks were on point she suggested food and we took all of her suggestions under advisement. Unfortunately , the wings came out incorrect and the waiter acted as if her was real mad, he took the wings from our table as if we stole something. We Dianne got the correct order and the wings were smaller than we expected, they were good but baby wings definitely. Would I come here again, yes for the dranks, but not food... Arabia rocked! read more

This is a great place to watch the game ! Chitown Mo does events on the bears and it's deff a vibe. The food loooks good , the wings were 6.5/10. The drinks were a lil rip off to be honest . Spend $30 on drinks and barely got anything . Ordered a lemon drop cake in a big plastic cup not rimmed . For 16 I think I deserve a glass . I could've drunk the lemon drop in one gulp ! The mai Tao wasn't a full cup either . I'm a bartender so imma give it -9 the price was wild and the drink was bare minimum . Overall I love the spot , it very nice inside . Very cozy ! The stars are for the event ! read more

This place is such a GEM. It's newly remodeled and rebranded and It's down to earth but classy. it's a place to go to where, " everybody knows your name..". It truly lives upto its name, the community bar! All the bartenders were extremely friendly and attentive which is always a plus! They have trivia nights as well as karaoke, comedy nights etc. it's hone lay a place you can hang out at everyday! read more

If you are in Houston during NFL football season and you are a Chicago Bears fan, come here to find your tribe! But come early because this place was insanely packed! Great vibe, good food but overly crowded read more

The place is still a nice laid back place to hang out. My only issue is the food is no longer good. The wings we tried buffalo and I believe lemon pepper or garlic parmesan. Not memorable. The nachos were gross. Just meat and canned school cheese. Im giving this rating because for the price I would prefer real cheese. The burgers and pizza were sold out by 11pm. Those items are what I normally order when I come. read more

I was between 4 and 5 stars solely because the service is so great... but the food was a little on the lacking side. You walk in, and the music automatically puts you in a groove. The bartenders are great and super creative. One of them is even a florist. The owner or manager is so attentive. The drinks are ok but I didn't really enjoy the hearty served meal. MY meat was a little dry, but my friends chimmichurri chicken was fabulous. On Fridays, they have live jazz on tye patio. Which is worth taking some time to experience. I absolutely felt comfortable and relaxed here. Will go back for live music and drinks not necessarily for the food. read more

Imagine "Cheers" but with great food. This spot has become one of our faves. We love steak night (Tuesdays), their brisket nachos, and their snapper. And, their sides... brussel sprouts, collard greens, and asparagus arr wonderful. read more

This place was second choice but it should of Bern first! We went here unsure on a Thursday evening because they did not advertise Thursday evenings on line nor social media. They was very accommodating, suggestive, abd reasonable priced. We tried the wings and veggie pizza the food was nice and fresh and amazing! The service was out of this world. The building small inside. I had the red blend wine, I was not a fan so the second one I ordered the Bartender turned it into sangria it came out very good! My guess had a mocktail that they made to accommodate him, he loved it. I suppose because it was early it was one server and one Bartender. They did great! I will return we got full off of 12 total Honey Chipotle Wings and the Veggie Pizza our goal is to return but go to them first! read more

The Community Bar - Pineapple and Ginger Cocktail - Sports Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

We stopped by The Community Bar on a Tuesday for a late dinner and some drinks while we were looking for a spot in the area on Yelp. After Ubering over, we walked in and grabbed some seats. The Community Bar is a casual yet trendy bar. After ordering some cocktails, we were impressed with their food menu. A lot of appetizing options, including some Argentinian food, which was a nice surprise. I wasn't terribly hungry so I went with the Argentinian sausage appetizer which was appetizing but a pretty small portion. The group's food looked good too. The cocktail delivered and I did like their list of creative cocktails. We finished things off with some green tea shots. If you're looking for a casual bar with better food than your standard bar fare, definitely check out The Community Bar! read more

It's a small spot, nothing fancy but it's a great place to chill. And the food is good and the service is great. And they have specials each night. read more

Attended an event here for a celebration. The food was decent, but the price was ridiculous, especially for the portions. I paid 75.00 for wings, lamb chops and fried rice. Each drink purchase at the bar included an automatic 18% charge. I completely understand service charges for actually service but to stand at a bar to wait on my food, and to charge 18% each swipe is robbery! read more

The Community Bar should be a top destination in our city! I went for the first time last weekend, and I'm going to be a regular. It's literally everything I've been searching for when I want to go out to blow off some steam. Totally worth my drive from the burbs. Great vibe, great people, great CLEANLINESS, (and don't get me started on the wings I had....) This place is top notch. read more

This place is not all that it appears to be. Food and drinks are very expensive. Had a birthday event there and the owner didn't deliver as promised. Talks a great game but fails to live up to his word. It is quite understandable why the place is empty on most days. read more

Went solely for the food - This place left me speechless and full. The food was well seasoned and tender. Hats off to the chef - I have a new place to eat! The staff are huge Astros fans and will likely be watching the game with you! They were attentive and made sure we were well accommodated. They even wiped down the outdoor seating area after it rained. There's plenty of outdoor seating and fairly limited indoor seating. There's only ~7 parking spaces, so be prepared to look for parking on the weekend/busy hours. The moody lighting, incense smell, and chill vibes make it a great bar to hang out in. TUESDAY STEAK NIGHT: $16 The Hawaiian Marinated Ribeye (4.5/5) was soooo good - well seasoned, had crispy edges AND the fat melted in your mouth. The chimichurri sauce on the steak added a kick with its acidity. The roasted rosemary potatoes was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The bacon balsamic brussel sprouts surprised me the most. I normally don't like brussel sprouts but the way they made it toasty and soft got me hooked. It was surprisingly sweet too! My only complaint about the dish overall was it's slightly saltier than I'd prefer it to be. I'm glad I ordered the sautéed mushrooms, spinach onions and garlic to help neutralize the saltiness. read more

We visited this bar after a concert at the HOB. It was late but I was surprised the kitchen was still open and serving food. I ordered the beef empanadas and they were fresh, hot and delicious! Sadly I didn't drink some cannot comment on them but my hubby said his were good. It was barbecue night and we ordered some ribs. I really wanted to try the rib tips but they were out. The ribs were tender and full of flavor; no sauce needed. The service was great, the waitress was attentive and we never had to hunt for her when we needed anything. I would definitely visit again! read more

I would've loved to experience the food it inside ambiance at this bar. However, right at this moment.. a random encounter by an employee who's literal name was 'Karen' ruined the experience for me. While talking with my friend over the phone, I stood outside at the front walkway entrance. I was saying oh this looks like a cute bar to experience. Then out of the blue 'Karen' came to me rudely yelling 'my car is gonna be towed and gone.. if u don't move from their parking lot.' Confused at this verbal response.. I said excuse me .. she says ' yea you heard me.. bla blah bla... I responded not to speak to me that way. And asked why she was speaking that way.. She then said she can talk yo em any way she pleases.. Umm no ma'am you cannot.. get out of my face.. is what you can do.. She walks by in. , throws me a finger sign, which I captured. What in the what...: houston we have a real problem, Afterwards, a manager gentleman walked out and apologized in her behalf and welcomed me in.., which was nice but the vibe was already off ... I wish I was able to provide a positive review but the experience pre entering was already a 0. read more

This was a staple in the community until new ownership. The new owners increased prices by 50% and clearly has no clue on how to run a bar or know the industry. The original food menu was great but now there's a new cook who can bbq only. Fish smells the whole bar and highly over seasoned and the roasted potatoes was hard as river rocker. The place is small which is cool but you don't know if it's a dive bar, sports bar, urban bar or smoke bar. The bar no longer has no identity. The new bar owner invites their friends and only hang with them. They are not personable and it shows they don't know the industry at all. The old community is gone never to return. read more

Went here for steak night. The steak was pretty thin and cooked med to med well when the whole table requested med rare. Also found the happy hour under whelming and the steak night price high the lack of portion sizes. The server was very friendly. Doubt we'd return due to better steak nights, happy hours and better values in the area. read more

I love this bar laid back atmosphere delicious drinks. The steak is absolutely amazing. The owners are amazing people 5 easily

Omg this did not disappoint!! Tuesday steak night, that steak was cooked to perfection! Service was amazing and the food was to die for!! Wow! Completely impressed by this place and will be back! Thank you for everything Justin!! If I could give this place 10 starts I would! read more

Great place to eat, drink and vibe. Customer service is amazing. Love coming here with friends.

Great vibes, great drinks, great staff ! I stumbled upon this place and I'm so thankful did! See yall soon!

The people are nice. The food is average at best. We ordered the Med burger and fries. The burgers had no seasoning. The only flavor came from the toppings. I liked the goat cheese, chutney, and spinach. The fries served to me were cold and hard. I had to ask them to be remade. Perhaps other menu items are better? We had some type or punch for drinks. It was smooth and easy to drink. The interior der is dated. I'm not in a rush to return. Parking is limited. They have maybe 4 spots in front of the building. Plan to park on the street. Indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

I love it here. Good vibes only. It's really small and cute. All my friends enjoyed their food and I really enjoyed the brisket nachos. The ambiance was great too. read more

Fair warning, I'm writing slightly tipsy and borderline drunk. What can I say, had a good night? Which also featured a delicious, succulent steak-- their special every Tuesday night which consists of a juicy, crispy on the edges ribeye, creamed corn and homemade mashed potatoes. Lawd. Lemme tell you, the steak was crispy around the edges, the best part was the fat that rendered and melted in your mouth. Not to mention it was well seasoned. Very slightly sweet and perfectly tart chimichurri sauced drizzled over, who needs Heinz A1 anyways? Makes you cry tears of joy after your last bite because why do good things never last? It's inevitable isn't it? And the creamed corn was the best complimentary side and my personal fave. Mashed potatoes was creamy with bits of skin as a little bite of texture here and there, you can tell it's made in house. Not much seasoning, it's more of a texture appeal and if we're being honest here, it's hard to go wrong with mashed potatoes. The plate was clean after I was done. Compliments to the chef! It was game night, and entertaining to see the bartender so enthusiastic about the Astros. Every time they went above and beyond, he reached for the literal tambourine and cheered. Loved the energy here. Inside seating is limited, and the patio is much more chill and calm. Recommend it for those nights you want to feel a breeze. OH! Forgot to mention, some of the best mojitos. Not too sweet, tart with a refreshing "ah" quality induced by citrus. Pretty sure they get other drinks down right, give them a try! They deserve your $$$. read more

They have THE best ribs I have ever tasted. Going back for the food. Servers were the bestalso!

Wait wait. What? I never reviewed Community Bar? That place is my jam. Tuesday steak night offers one of the best in town. A ribeye on the grill - sometimes bone-in ribeye - with a side of Merlot mushrooms, mashed potatoes, creamed corn, jalapeño pineapple ... And the Community Nachos are a must. And the funnel cake with Blue Bell ice cream. Music playlist is good. Barkeep friendly. Chill patio. If you find street parking, watch out. I have a few friends that've gotten their cars broken into. NOT the bar's fault, obvi, but just a warning. read more

The rib tips were awesome, drinks were great. The service was excellent. I will be back for Steak Night on Tuesdays.

OMG, this was the best steak prepared by the owner. I must admit I didn't expect it to taste as good as it did, the entire meal had me wanting more. The community bar outdid itself from the service to the meal! I will definitely be back!! read more

Just landed for Houston Cigar Week and when I tell you that the food, drinks and ambience here were EVERYTHING, I mean it!

True hole in the wall establishment on Smith street. Very casual place to hang out. there is some parking around it but the rest is street parking. Went yesterday for Tuesday steak night, not sure what the compliments in previous reviews were for. We walked in and we were hit with a wave of cigarette smoke. Bar door left open and smokers might as well smoke inside. Walked up to the bar and was looking for a menu. Bartender said order here, no menu. No price list. So I predict that cost of alcohol can vary from one day to another & one person to another. Did I mention this place was casual? We ordered the steak and it comes with fixed sides, we saw the grill near the back and two guys were running around to cook & serve people. We wanted a seat inside but it was so dark we probably not able to see the food. We sat out and no one comes and asks if you need anything. This is a leanly loose run operation. The money they can make with a few touches of improved service and efficiency..but why use brain power. Anyhow. We got our steaks and they were both cooked medium rare. It was ok for the price, mine was greasy & salty. I didn't care much for the cheesy mash. I won't come back again.. But now I can cross this one off my list :) This a 2.5 star hole in the wall, poorly lit place to smoke & eat greasy salty steaks on tuesday night. Thumbs down.. read more
