Thank you so much for making a birthday/fifa watch party be such a standout event. I appreciate you more than I will ever express in person lol. Also it's all drinks here, the vibes are great, you can DoorDash food here. Our toddlers love the open greenery. 10's across the board, tysm :)

First time at TNP and I'll definitely be back !…read more Location/parking : I love that there are more and more things I'm discovering in east Houston! TNP is perfect as its own spot but also for a night cap after listening to music at East River (which is what I did) Parking felt a bit complicated. There seemed to be some street parking around but I wasn't sure if it was an option, so I tried to pull into a dirt lot I saw other cars parking in. Needless to say it didn't work out so well for me - my car got stuck in the mud and left me with a moment of anxiety as I tired to get out... That was the only negative experience for me though ! Venue: From the outside it seemed pretty small but it's much larger than expected ! There's and indoor and outdoor bar. The indoor bar has restrooms and some seating. Outside there is tons of seating and in back as well. Staff: I only ordered from the inside bar and the bartender there was awesome ! He also seemed very excited to make some creative drinks which was awesome and unexpected Other things to note: There was a dj for a while when we arrive It's dog friendly !

My friends and I stopped into Darkhorse as we made our way down Washington. We made it in about an…read morehour before closing. There were a few patrons at the bar so we thought it was ok. We sat and the bartender started taking orders one by one. She did not look like she wanted to be there and was going through the motions. If she did not want to serve us, she could have easily said they were closed for the night. No one in the group was inebriated or rowdy. When she asked the last person what she wanted she rolled her eyes and mumbled something along the lines of she just made the same drink. How was it my friend's fault that the bartender did not know how to be more efficient and get everyone's orders at the same time? We cancelled that order and closed out and went on about our business. That being said, the drinks were made well and everyone did like the drinks. If the business has set hours, we should not be penalized or treated badly if we come in during the posted open hours. I would completely understand her frustration if it was minutes before closing and we expected service. We really wanted to like this spot because it looks like a nice chill spot and it is close proximity to most of my friend's houses. There are way too many more options around the area to have to come back here.

It was my first time ever seeing turtle racing and the turn up was so real! It's free to bet on the turtles and if you win you get a free shot of the promotional liquor for that night. The night I went it was Hornito's tequila. There is also a guy who walks around with the big ball python around his neck. It was definitely a great time and I will definitely be going back!

A solid local dive bar and gem on the east side…read more If you're looking for solid people, good drinks, and staying in the area then this is the place for you! They have indoor and outdoor areas. Outdoors has long picnic tables which allow for plenty of seating and groups. Indoors has bar seating and a few tables. They also have a few arcade games if that's your cup of tea. Sometimes they have food being served outdoors too and, while I haven't had any, a lot of people do seem to order it. Their parking lot is a bit limited unfortunately... that being said we're always lucky to get a spot. The bathrooms are single stall but for a dive bar are quite clean. The ladies room has tampons and such stocked which is a really nice touch !

Drink prices were fairly cheap, especially for Houston (select beers ranging from $3-6). During my first visit on a Saturday, they had a dj playing lively music at the upstairs bar. Downstairs is where it feels like a proper dive. Parking wasn't as much of a challenge as most other areas in Houston. Definitely will be returning!
