    When was the last time you were there? My old office is right there and the pub was closed down a year or so ago. I havnt driven by in probably the past 6 months or so, but it didnt look like re-opening was in its future.

    They opened a new location at Eldridge and Westheimer when that one shut down.

    Little Woodrow's in EaDo is pretty nice too. I love the patio and overall atmosphere. Very laid back. Draft and Bottle selection are pretty nice as well.

    This...

    It was one of the places I used to be at 2-3 times a month. Then they shut down. The new location is nicer, but has lost something.

    Beer selection is better, but mostly BMC and local.

    Added El Gran Malo to the spreadsheet. Great place that tends to get overlooked.

    I love El Gran Malo. They are opening another location downtown, in the spot were Cabo use to be. Right next door to Franks Pizza. Its going to be great to see what they can do with all that space and awesome outdoor area.

    Ill let someone else add it since I'm on my phone, but The Bone Yard is a good spot if you have dog. Also heard about a similar place near washington, but can't recall the name.

    Boneyard is one of the coolest concepts in town. Can get kind of get crazy during peak times, but I think it's a brilliant place for those with dogs.

    I have never had bad service there. There are a handful of Houston beers, awesome tequila cocktails, and the best tacos around...whatever, just one less person taking up bar space:wink:

    I'm here to place more emphasis on D & T Drive Inn and how awesome and laid back it is.

    At el gran Malo right now. Great service, had a lost gold IPA, carnitas taco, pork belly taco, and snapper taco. Enjoying a rodeo clown now. Great place and walking distance from my new house!

    I always go to cottonwood and petrol just because the people who work there are cool. Long drive from katy, but completely worth it.
