    Moon Tower is now the only bona fide brewpub Houston --yep, they brew beer on site. There is a covered seating area but the party is out under the sun/stars. The new tap wall has up to 66 draft beers. Read more

    Try the stuffed jalapenos for suree! I ate the buffalo dog with onions, cheese, and dr.pepper marinated onion marmalade. Its extra for the marmalade but it would have been super dry without it.

    As if the wild game sausages and creative condiments weren't enough, there's 66 taps of craft beer, weekly specials (2 for 1 burgers on Wednesday) and a highly entertaining FB page. [Eater 38 Member]

    They have 66 beers on tap (a few of which are made on-site), a selection of wild game sausages and hamburgers, and a terrifically irreverent, often profane notion of what constitutes customer service. Read more

    Great place to chill and be laid back. Lots of outdoor space to grab a beer. They only downside is that they only serve beer. No wine or liquor

    They've got attitude, but they've also got great hot dogs made from all types of game meats as well as fun toppings. Great beer list too. All outdoors. [Eater 38 Member]

    If you like to be edgy, When ordering a dog, ask for 'chef's choice'. If u wanna play it safe, when asking for 'chefs choice', just mention what you DON'T want. You won't go wrong. ENJOY!

    The pork tenderloin sandwich on the pretzel bread is the best sandwich I've ever put in my face. Beer selection is the best around. I dig this place.

    Relax, you might have to share a picnic table with other partiers, you might not be able to see your food if it’s dark outside, but this is all part of the charm. Read more

    This place is okay but in all honesty, there isnt something special to keep me coming back. Also, I had high expectations on the food and It was somewhat of a let down.
