I love coming here on Wednesday for karaoke night and $3 vodkas. The atmosphere is great and the staff is amazing. Drinks are cheap and the vibes are even better. Plenty of games to play or comics to read. This is the ultimate nerd hideout or place to kick it with a few friends get lit and sing a few songs

They also have The Simpsons playing on repeat which is always nice. My only real issue with the place is that the restrooms arent exactly clean and parking can be very hectic. Other than that, I enjoy it here!

While the bar itself is amazing and makes you feel like youre in your friends basement to hang out, Its not a safe area. There are about 7 parking spaces up front and then there is a parking lot right accross where we saw to people getting into a fight. They dont have cameras there and they dont consider it their area to watch over even though there is nowhere else to park. There are crack heads all over the area who will try to scam you into paying them for parking then just walk off and then my friends car got broken into along with two others. While we were trying to figure it out there was endless cat calling from guys going to the bar and crackheads watching and following us. We asked neils bar about security cameras and they just told us not to park there next time and just that yeah there are crack heads there. Bar tenders were chill in terms of serving but the security guard payed no attention. Not a great place to go if you are a woman.

New to Houston, first time here last night, and I implore anyone and everyone to check this place out! Good prices, good staff, good things to do. The only negative thing THAT WASNT THEIR FAULT was the sting operation of a lot behind their building that towed me, and I felt SO bad that I wasn t able to tip the bar(even though I only spent $10) and while the lady behind the bar didn t seem to care too much for my sob story as to why I did not tip, it will not affect my return to this place, and hopefully with an actual tip these hard working people deserve!

We were very disappointed in our experience at Neil s Bahr. It has been recommended as a place we would love, so we decided to go visit to enjoy some games! Parking was a nightmare (the lot across from the bar was $40 and we got told to move when we parked in the lot connected around the corner). We couldn t get either N64 to work with multiple tries (they had a pretty bad selection of games anyway). They had one upright arcade game that has a ton of games on it (400+), so we played that for a bit. They do have a good comic book selection (read a few), but there were only like 5 table games out for playing. The cocktails we got were ok and the beer was totally fine. I would overwhelmingly recommend Cidercade, Love Buzz, Rudyards Pub, or Southern Yankee over this place.

Updated Review (6 years later): The place is still fantastic, and the vibes are immaculate. There have certainly been notable improvements over the years, and they certainly dont let the maintenance fall to the wayside. It is still very much a great place to come and relax, maybe play a couple games and read some comics. It somehow maintains that atmosphere, almost as if by magic, even at its busiest. All of the bartenders are genuinely super chill, and for the past 6 years I have brought every one of my friends here when they visit Houston. Just a great place in Houston to come and relax for a bit.

Good bar prices but whats really the attraction are not the drinks or food. However it is the very specific nostalgic feeling many number of ages may feel coming in. The place is smothered in 80s to late 90s glory, comics, some old school game systems and a beautiful grungey underground feeling. Id most definitely recommend checking it out if youre on the older side of your 20s and beyond. Dope lil spot

The atmosphere at Neils is unique and really cool. Ive been going for years and always had a good experience. But in my last visit, it was the staff and their kindness that really blew me away. I had just experienced an upsetting situation at another bar when i seeked help to charge my phone. I was alone and needed to get an Uber but i had no way to get a ride. I went to Neils Bahr and the staff was super helpful and even eager to help me. When they saw how upset i was from my experience at another bar, they even tried to comfort me. The service has always been great but in my last visit the staff went above and beyond. I will always be grateful.
