Everybody is super friendly and we all seemed to jam to all the music together. Everybody played something different (Spanish and English) but everyone still seemed to sing along Lol rock, hip hop, country and Spanish language stuff

Service definitely changes based on who is working. Sometimes its awesome, Sometimes its ok. Also, prices are all over the place, charged different prices for the second round because we had a different bartender. Its an ok place, will probably go back

So we stumbled upon this bar. Which we actually pass buy quit often. Especially since we stop at the gas station right next to it. I liked the layout. There is bar seating, plenty of tables around, lots of TV screens, a pool area, dart boards, and outside seating. I liked the drink specials! You definitely want to try the Jäegermeister bombs! Throw it back fast. Lol The pool tables here are different from others I ve played at. You pay for the amount of games you want to play. For example: 5 games for 5 dollars, but you can also play more such as 10 or 20 games I think. Don t quote me on that lol. Service was good after we finally got a bartender to help us. The music and atmosphere was very chill which I enjoyed. Be advised the drinks are a little pricey but worth it for a fun night out!

I only gave it 4 stars because it was very mellow. The bartenders were super nice and were great with mixing the drinks. The music was very diverse so that s a plus being an African American in Texas. They went from country to hip hop real quick lol. They do have photos on the wall that only show one race though so idk man lol parking is maybe 20 people max. It was kind of dark heading there though . Needs more street lights but that s not their fault tbh. Overall it was a nice chill place. A game of pool was $1.50 so that s lit .

Been going to this place for years and never had an issue..until I went recently ,I was drinking at the bar until some heavy set white guy asked mewhy was I there and said does it look like salsa night to you and kept it throwing his racial jabs. When I confronted him turns out hes the security and the bartender began joining in the verbal attacks..I spent alot of money at this and this is how they treat you...I wouldnt recommend at all

I am adamantly for support of local small businesses, especially local dive bars in town they re one of the best places to meet some of the best locals. My absolute FAVORITE dive bar in town is the thirsty turtle, hands down! The owners actually own a few more dive bars in town (which I ve also been to), but the turtle is my go-to. The bar has 4 really great bartenders that I love and trust whether I m there alone or with a group Lilly, Morgan, Kat and Welcome (yes, that is his real name). They re fantastic! Professional, fast, and truly know how to keep control of the bar and patrons. It truly is that little neighborhood bar where you ll meet some great people, and eventually everyone will know your name. If you ever see me at the bar, stop by and I ll recommend a couple custom drinks that are fantastic!

Tons of regulars go to this bar. As expected. The bartender did have a bad attitude while I was there but only because one of the Patrons was giving her attitude. Definitely a girl who has some fight in her. But seemed to lack charisma to any newcomers. Drinks are cheap and its an okay place to play some pool before heading to work.
