Stopped by Tipsy Tavern after leaving another nearby bar hoping for a better experience, but…read moreunfortunately this visit was even more uncomfortable. Our group walked in and sat at the bar while two other guests sat nearby. The bartender immediately took the other guests' order first, then casually asked us "what do y'all want" while continuing to move around behind the bar. My friend paused because it genuinely wasn't clear if the bartender was listening to us, and the bartender responded with attitude saying, "I'm listening." When my friend ordered a Hugo Spritz, the bartender responded with "what?" and then said she only knew an Aperol Spritz. That's completely fine, not everyone knows every cocktail, but the interaction became unnecessarily rude from there. Instead of simply asking about the ingredients politely, she came back with an attitude asking us to look it up for her, and then became defensive saying "I don't know what the issue is" even though nobody had complained or created a problem. The entire interaction just felt dismissive and unwelcoming. We ended up leaving almost immediately because the energy was so uncomfortable. Hospitality and attitude matter just as much as the drinks, and unfortunately this experience missed the mark completely.

I am too excited to be reviewing this place. This is on my list of top shi#holes. OK *deep breath* when you get past the fact that this place is/was ultimately a good idea, based upon the Shamrock Hotel that was popular for live act back in the day, you will come to terms with the fact that it simply exists now for those who are within stumbling distance, and need a place to drown their memories and failed dreams. I will tell you that the biggest f-bomb about this place is what I believe to be the management. The two times I've gone in the "owner" has been trolling around stinking drunk. And telling anyone who will listen how he is the owner. Talk about being a D-bag. Jeeze, I came to drink some beers in peace and get barraged by someone who should be exstatic that someone new came in. Anyhow, it is obvious that this place is open to serve those regulars and the "owner", and that the staff and patrons there have no desire to embrace new blood. What a shame, because the idea behind the place is pretty cool. Anyhow, the place is what I like to call a place where dreams go to die. There is a rumor of a kitchen, however I haven't had the displeasure of eating there. Enter at your own risk. read more

I have been going to The "Rock" for serveral years now! LOVE IT!!! The kitchen turns out the best food in Houston! You have to order before 10, but well worth it!! I have not had anything that was not a 10! Bobbie the bartender is awesome! She is there most Saturday nights and is one of the best bartenders in the business. She is outgoing and actually loves her job! Unfortunetely there are some who think her genuiness is a sign of flirting........ NOT TRUE!!!! She is absolutely a doll and treats everyone with the same respect and courteous attention that a business like this thrives on. Karaoke is a hugh plus............. you get to actually sing more than one song a night! Thanks to the owners for keeping it original. Drink prices are the same as every other bar in Houston, not too overly priced. read more

Be careful if you go to this place I've been there several times and it was uneventful however there is a bartender that works Sunday nights and he/she is strange. For laughs after two beers I asked for a beer and a blowjob and he was more than happy to oblige I told him I was joking but he would not take no for an answer. It was not funny. He later followed me into the bathroom and wanted to perform fellatio on me right there in the bathroom! I could not get out of there fast enough! I regret going there and would warn any straight person not to go there. However if you are bi or gay this is the place for you! Come as you are this bartender will take all comers! Literally! I would not go near this bar ever on a Sunday night or whatever other night that freak works there. You have been warned! read more

And if you want to date family, I'm not one to judge, so this place could be both. The bartenders learn your name early on, and know your order well enough to ask you if you're alright when you randomly order a scotch on the rocks. It's the kind of place you might not feel at home at first, because everybody knows everybody and you don't know anybody. But then, within a very short period of time, you start getting hugs when you walk in from people you didn't realize were family just a month before. It's a haven; where you don't feel judged and you don't feel pressure. Beyond that, the specials should not be ignored. If you see Adams pork belly fried rice, Ricky's lasagna or Joe's fried burritos, make a special trip; it's worth it. Some of the food is standard bar fare, but those specials are something else. I love this place and I'm so glad they welcomed me into the neighborhood and made it feel like home.

Let's start with the ambiance it is definitely a date night/girls night option. The lights are dimmed and they have a slow to moderately fast tempo music playing quietly in the background. So for me I really appreciate that because you can actually have a decent conversation without yelling/shouting over the music. As for the food! I would say there's room for improvement. The samosa were definitely seasoned well both the chicken and the vegetables. I have no complaints. For the jerk chicken, I wasn't really a fan because I felt it wasn't really "jerk" as what I am used to when going to a Jamaica restaurant, however, I still would recommend it during happy hour. P.s happy hours is from 4-7pm so definitely get there before then. Now let's talk about the lamb chops. First I had it medium-rare and with no complaints it came out to right temperature. For the pasta, however, I really feel they could do a major improvement because it was very bland but I feel the lamb and veggies which were (zucchini and squash) made up for it. Dannie the bartender was on point with our service request. Our first round of drinks were the re/detox and the pleasure island and our second round of drinks were the sexy chocolate and the pleasure island once again. Hands down Dannie did such a great job with mixing our drinks. I highly recommend trying this location during happy hours or just in general for a date night. Oh and I forgot to mention they do offer hookah as well but you would have to smoke it in their outside enclosed patio which is very cute and chic.
