RateBeer Brew Tour Guide's Comments
Slightly smaller than the Austin Gingerman, but I gave it the check on "Rare Beers" for the Fullers Vintage 1999 that we found there by chance one night. Last I checked they still have some in stock. But the men’s room at this place is about the size of an airport bathroom, yet they cram a urinal and a toilet into it...uhh, anyway, the beer selection is very good for Texas standards.

Fantastic bar with an incredible selection, good service and decent bar food. The beer selection is second to none in Houston, and although busy, the service is relatively quick and friendly, and they have a good memory. You can become a regular after just a couple of visits. Plenty of academics and doctors from Rice and the Texas Medical Center which are virtually next door. Can’t believe it hadn’t been rated already. It’s within walking distance of all of Rice Village so its easy to grab a pint here before or after dinner.

One of the great all time beer places. No mixed drinks. Started the whole multi tap bar scene. Med center crowd.

Love this bar! Great atmosphere (darts...), great beer selection (lots of taps!), pretty cheap, never too crowded. Awesome.

This place was great. Had a definite feel to it. Reminded me a little of a smaller Brickskeller (in DC). A diverse set of people, drinking from thier diverse set of taps. They had some locals and some hard finds in Texas (Belgian in particular). Especially when considering how busy it was, the service was good to great.

Great pub. Beer selection is solid and atmosphere is good as well. People are always in a good mood and most are darn friendly.

Another one of my favorite pubs. Great beer selection, great service every time I have been there (6+), great atmosphere. The waitresses have always been friendly. Great porch in the back, with heaters in teh Winter. A very welcoming place.

If you have ever been in a Gman, then you will feel right at home. This location has the best service of all the others. Selection is spot on for Houston- if it is avaliable in Houston, they will have it.

Nice ambiance and local feel. The bar is like an old rustic house with wooden floors, beams, and dimly lit. Beer selection is good, but not as extensive as the Flying Saucer. The bartender I had was a b. Otherwise a great experience and place worth checking out.

Damn fine seletion of beer (not the biggest) but large and you are likely to find at least half a dozen beers you love. The servers know beer. Fresh beer & clean taps!!! Not much food but what they do have is good not to mention its a major shopping area with may food options. I love the bar and ambiance but the crowd may seem out of place from time to time. Lots of outdoor seating in front and rear of bar a big plus in my book!
