    One of the coolest little pubs in Houston. Grew up going here. Always a friendly crowd, great ambiance, excellent tunes on the jukebox, and more beer choices than you could dream of... A+++

     Are you all about craft beers? Then you and Ginger Man will be fast besties. There’s nothing like grabbing a pint at the end of a long day and just hanging out on the patios.

    The Beer Companion ($10.5) and the Spinach & Artichoke Dip ($7.25) come with the most sumptuous mini-loaf of warm bread. Grab 'em quick w/any brew!! Only downside: brews are not ice-cold, a-la-Europe!

    A snake bite is Cider and Lager mixed 50/50. Guinness and Cider is much nicer and is called a Black and Tan in the UK, for a Black Velvet sub the cider with champagne

    One of the few places I can find Live Oak Hefeweisen in Houston, which is my favorite beer after the bartender here suggested it... Try it! You'll probably love it ;)

    This is a great beer bar if you're looking for a solid selection of craft beer. If you want food and beer, not so much.

    Watch out for people who wandered over from the Bronx bar next door. They will order Bud Lights.
