My Bar

love the day bartenders, no dart boards :-(

My last review was from my second visit. We have been coming here every week, at least once sometimes twice a week, ever since! my husband works close to this bar and his coworkers like to come here because you can’t beat the prices, we just found out as of last week that Thursdays are steak nights, you can get a great steak dinner, with a salad and potato plus beers or well drinks for less monehy than anywhere in Houston, I guarantee it. Plus, I have to say that what keeps us coming back is the great friendships we have made with some of the regulars, the bartenders, and busboys, specially Flor and Beto, they are on top of their stuff. Tonight was a great night with the Astros and the Texans. Anything can happen at WHO’S BAR? MY BAR!

The service was awesome… the crowd, however is very «start shit, trash.» As said, service was great!, but the regulars seem to be prepubescent half adults, with a chip ready. I feel bad for the great service, but hey… it is near cypress.

We just had a bizarre experience here. After suffering through song after tedious, boring, acoustic song (seriously, an hour and a half of crooning) waiting for the legend, Doug Stone, my husband waited at the not-​particularly-​crowed bar for a good 15 minutes for a new drink. When the bartender finally acknowledged him, he was informed that this was to be his last drink. Being the uppity bitch that I am, I of course went over to close our tab POSTHASTE! They had padded our tab with a good 3 – 4 drinks. To be fair, I’d switched to water about an hour before (or else be put to sleep by the endless wailing on stage), so they weren’t impressed with us in general, but we’d vacated the bar earlier to make room for the real drinkers (having both been former service industry types, we know the etiquette). So, okay, fine, these imaginary drinks we had were cheap, thankfully, but if you’re gonna cut someone off before the main event, do it for a good cause. Overall, not really sure what to make of what just happened, but we won’t be back.

We were hesitant to go to My Bar due to the reviews, but I really wanted to hear the band that was playing. When we got there, we were pleasantly surprised! It was very clean, and the friendly staff helped us find the best seats for seeing the band. The restrooms were clean and very well lit. We found out later that the whole place had been recently remodeled. We will definitely go back to hear live music!

I went here for the first time to join a free poker tournament. I understand it is a local, not fancy joint, a great place for locals that is laid back. The drinks are ok and at an ok price. The reason I gave this bar 1 star is because it took 40 minutes or more for me to get any drinks. I understand they were busy, but there is no excuse for drinks to take that long, as any professional would know. At one point our whole table was waiting on drinks. After 30 minutes or more I looked over to the bar and saw the one girl I saw most of the night taking orders and bringing drinks just standing behind the bar laughing it up with another employee. Really? I don’t think I will be coming back anytime soon, even for the poker, mainly because of the time it took to get one drink.

Our pool league recently switched over to this establishment, as the owner was very enthusiastic about getting our league here. It is a very friendly establishment, and the owners have been very welcoming to us. It is nothing more than a local neighborhood bar though. No big bells and whistles about this place. They are very clean and would like to continue our league here.

Who’s bar? MY BAR. :) That is their slogan. This place is HUGE and definitely not your trendy Midtown bar. It is an older crowd, but there is plenty of room for all ages and types. The bartenders are fun and the drinks are cheap. They have poker and pool leagues that operate out of the bar on certain weekdays. The live music here is usually pretty rough and is definitely not worth the cover they sometimes charge on Saturday nights. They have cheesy, old but fun arcade games and one of those punching machines. There are plenty of pool tables with lots of room for comfort. There is karaōke a few times a week, but come here to have fun, not to listen to 5 star singers. All in all, its a great place for going to hang out with your friends for some cheap drinks and laughs, but don’t expect to impress anyone by bringing them to My Bar.
