    Pineapple and Ginger Cocktail

    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!

    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.

    10 out of 10, I highly recommend! Out server was Brian and he was great ; very attentive , personable, and provided a great experience!

    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.

    I had the Ribeye Steak with Mashed potatoes and greens with mushrooms and spinach and onions. MUST TRY!!

    We came to cost for cigar weekend from Oakland, California. We stopped at The Community Bar. Hands DOWN THE ONWERS are nothing short of amazing. Justin, Justin, Justin. The food was AMAZING!! I feel like AMAZING is an understatement. The drinks AMAZING! Staff AMAZING!! The Community Bar has my heart. Every time I come to Houston I'm coming to Community Bar, hands down!! If you're looking for good food, good drinks this is the spot! HANDS DOWN!

    'Karen' I'm assuming throwing me some ..sign language ‍

    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.

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.
