Decided to have a some drinks with a couple of friends this past Saturday night. Extremely rude bartender. She seemed like she was either high on something or drunk. She was rude to my boyfriend for no reason and seemed to be confused. When she brought us a high noon she opened it right above me and the sticky seltzer got on my phone, my purse and myself. When me and my female friend went to tab out the only nice thing she did was give me and my female friend two free green tea shots because you girls shouldn t be paying for your tabs, the men should be. Like omg, that s none of your business, lady! Super off-putting. And then when she brought us our tabs they were both wrong and seemed to struggle with correcting the mistake. I m usually understanding and sympathetic but don t be rude to your customers and don t get drunk on the job if you can t handle it.

Really amazing service from the bartender. I came here on a whim with my brother on a random Houston visit and the vibe here is phenomenal. Really nice selection of bourbons, tequilas and rums. I guarantee if you step foot here youll find something you like. Ill definitely come back next time im in town.

Absolutely terribly rude bartender, works here. I loved this bar and had never had a bad experience with their staff until tonight. Please get a grip on this bartender! I was trying to leave the patio tonight while this bartender was blocking the only exit from the patio. She also antagonized two patrons at this time telling them, I love your girlfriend, shes so sweet, (clearly not meaning anything she was saying). The girlfriend of the guy became very upset, telling this bartender, I do not like you. The bartender replied, Thats great or something to that effect. I had to ask the bartender to move from where she was standing so I would be able to leave the bar. Initially, she came out to the patio at about 2:24 AM and was very loud telling us she really needed to close; stood in the middle of us antagonizing the entire lot. It was a terrible experience and one that would definitely keep me from being interested in patroning this establishment.

Renee is absolutely incredible!! Each time I ve been in she was not simply managing a crowded bar by herself, she was doing so with grace, patience, and kindness. This is a cozy neighborhood bar that has become a favorite for those working in the local restaurant industry. Definitely a place to meet new and interesting people on any given night. Fair prices and a welcoming atmosphere. But if you ask me.. the greatest selling point is absolutely Renee! The Railyard just wouldn t be the same without her!

This is a cozy bar. It is loud but comfortable. It is a small bar, but they have a ton of different whiskies. They have a decent selection of canned beers. They also have a few on tap. The bartender was attentive so I could get drinks through all the noise inside.

Had to yell to get the bartender s attention to get my girlfriend a drink after both of them looked our way several times while polishing glasses. We were trying to finish our last drinks as the bartenders old blonde lady and old blue hair lady yanked my girlfriends drink away from her and complained I finished my beer before I get could yank it away. All in all I get you (staff) want to go home but we paid for our drinks we should be allowed to finish it. I should of asked for my receipt back to not give such a generous tip. If I come through again I will get my money back by not tipping such terrible staff. I guess Covid killed or pushed the awesome staff they had before away. They are lucky they are in a prime location or else they wouldn t exist.

Fun little bar with a good sized patio and a few cool arcade games. Get in line for the 4 player pac-man. Worth it. MTV Classic is playing on the TV, which pleases the older millennial in me. Kind of wish the indoor restaurant-style tables and chairs were comfy couches instead. Although, this would be a fun place to hold a board gaming meetup.

Used to be my favorite bar in the neighborhood. A couple bartenders will ruin your time - seriously. Not a big fan of most of the music that gets played there. There are other places around - but if you live in the area they are not a bad place to grab a drink. Most of the staff is generally great, I tend to prefer the male bartenders than the females for some odd reason. The patio is great if you have a dog and want to grab a drink, not many places like that around. They are also open late which is a plus.

Modern Dive bar. I was staying at the Sola apartments for a few days and stopped in here on a Friday night. There was a good crowd giving the place a nice vibe, but not over crowded. They have games there which I definitely took advantage of. I wouldnt necessarily go out of my way to frequent this spot but its worth a visit if youre in the area.
