    A good place to chill and bring your dog to the patio. They have a live band from time to time I think. I didn't get a chance to try their food yet but plan to. Drinks are good and service is friendly. Will be back to give an updated review

    Whole 9 yards burger
    jason j.

    Stopped in late on a Saturday night with a group of 5. We were seated promptly, in a corner as far away from the stage as possible. it did not matter the band was so loud we could barley talk to each other. on top of how mind numbingly loud the music was, it was not that good. The singer needed a lot of work, like honestly I have heard karaoke singers better. All that aside the service was not bad, but not great. We ordered drink and apps, but got the apps before we got our drinks. Guess the bar was backed up and the kitchen was not. Fried 5 sampler, $20: Curly fries, onion rings, fried pickles, fried jalapenos & mini corn dogs. its a big plate, but just a bunch of frozen stuff that is deep fried. It was ok, good for a big group. I would not get it for an individual meal. Whole 9 yards burger, $13: It was fine. I honestly did not read the entire list of ingredients which does list chili as part of the part of burger. I was a bit surprised when I took a bite and found Chili with beans on the burger. I ended up scraping off all the chili. not a fan of chili with beans. In general it was ok, but would not recommend because of the chili. Drinks: The beer menu is large. I had a beer, but several at the table got signature cocktails. In general the drinks were not very good. In the end, its a bar and if just getting a drink in that area its ok. but if looking for a nice dinner I would look at the other options in the area. They honestly need to turn down the music. Cannot recommend or return.

    Drinking a fresh pour on the patio.

    Why do I keep coming here? Well, Allen doesn't have a ton of dive bars for one, and this only qualifies because it is dingy AF. They have a large selection of drinks available. Secondly when you are shopping or playing a long day of Pokemon Go you just need a beer bad and this is your only real option. They have the best location to snag a table on the patio green for a drink. Inside is a bit depressing so head out to patio overlooking the green space, or for the events put on by Watters Creek mgmt. Also, they have some live music inside as well. Service is not their main focus. The food is on theme but still not the reason you come here. I mean I will keep coming back. I drink beer so legit.

    I lived in Dallas for 20+ years and I had never been to The Lion & Crown Pub!!! It was an absolute awesome time!!! The music/band was awesome! Highly recommend for anyone who has yet to find this hidden gem. Parking is tricky along with the stairs but not bad. Have a fantastic time!!

    Food is average. Service is average. Management is far below average. Don't waste your time.

    There are plenty of other places he can work - I don't think he meets the expectations of a successful place in Watters Creek.

    We've been regulars here for a long time, and I'm surprised I never took the time to write a…read morereview. This is easily one of our favorite places in Allen. We've tried a wide variety of items on the menu over the years, and everything has been consistently fresh, flavorful, and high quality. Whether we're stopping in for a quick bite or staying to watch a game, the food never disappoints. The beer selection is outstanding, with an impressive variety of draft and bottled options ranging from crisp lagers and wheat beers to IPAs, porters, and stouts. Fun tip - if you order a German beer, it's served in a traditional 0.5-liter glass, which adds to the experience. The atmosphere is exactly what you're looking for in a neighborhood sports bar. There are TVs everywhere, plenty of seating, and a lively but comfortable vibe that's perfect for catching a game with friends or family. They also host a variety of events throughout the year, making every visit a little different. One of my favorite nights is Pint Night, where you receive a complimentary pint glass featuring the selected beer with your purchase. It's a great promotion and just another reason we keep coming back. If you're looking for great food, an incredible beer selection, and a welcoming atmosphere, this place is hard to beat. It's our go-to spot in Allen, and I highly recommend it.

    We decided to try Brass Tap again tonight for dinner. We have been here once before about 3 years…read moreago and it was ok, nothing too memorable - nothing horrible. Food was ok. So, we thought - why not, it's close- let's go and see if we like it better this time. Let's start with the positives. We arrived shortly after 5pm and the place was pretty empty so we were seated right away. The server was friendly and immediately took our drink orders. She was attentive and service was fast. No complaints with her service at all. It seemed pretty chill and low key. A few people trickled in but nothing crazy for a Saturday night. We ordered the pretzel appetizer and I was pleasantly surprised. The color of the pretzel had me fooled. It was pretty dark in color which usually indicates overdone and hard so when it was amazingly soft inside - wow! So good! We loved the mustard and cheese sauce that came with it. My husband and son ordered a burger and said they were tasty, my other son ordered the chicken strips and said they were good. Negative for the meal, I ordered the blackened cod tacos and subbed the chips and salsa for the Gilroy Garlic Fries. I was very excited for the garlic fries since we are originally from that area and are very knowledgeable about the famous Gilroy Garlic Festival and all things Garlic. Here's where this dish wasn't exciting - the tacos were pretty bland. I took the coleslaw from my son's chicken tenders to try and add more flavor and make the taco more palatable. I only ate 1 of the 2 because there really was just zero flavor. The fries were probably an even greater disappointment. In the center, was a very small amount of cheese and maybe garlic? It had virtually zero garlic taste - I was searching for it. It was a sad version of garlic fries. I would not order that again unless they were improved upon. I went back and forth on 3 stars versus 4 stars because while service was great and fast, I can't confidently say I'd recommend it to someone. I may say it's a great place to chill for a beer and an appetizer but definitely NOT a meal. I think if your expectations are to stick with the appetizer list then you're probably going to like it. They have a large beer selection and plenty of screens for your favorite games.
