This is the best local pub in the area, and I've been to all of them in this area. They are very welcoming of everyone. Daily drink specials and special event several days of the week. Wednesday is $10 steak night were you get a freshly grilled steak, potatoes and desert. The free Texas Hold'em poker nights on Wednesdays and Sunday's are always a lot of fun and a great way to meet some new friends. Trivia night is Tuesday's as is Big Azz beer night where you can buy this huge mug and then get it filled with beer for the same cost as their 20oz pints.
If you live in the area this is a great place to hang out.
This is a great corner bar. Â The folks there are friendly, but it takes a while to get to know them, as they seem to be a little clique-ish. Â The owner really knows his beers and they have a great selection for west Houston. Â I would give them 5 stars if they had multiple beer cooling systems, as the darker beers were served too cold and had to wait on the counter to come to temp.
Review Source:I have to throw in a review for Ashford Pub since recent reviewers have been bashing the place a little. What they've mentioned in their reviews isn't necessarily wrong but when you come in here you have to keep an open mind about it.
This really is an Irish dive bar. It's really owned by an Irish family. One of their bartenders is actually Irish. Are the owners there drunk most nights of the week? Yup. I'll say again, they're Irish. haha
Back to all seriousness, don't expect this place to draw in the prettiest or wittiest of people. Some nights there are normal people hanging out and others some weird. It varies. What remains the same is the cool bartenders, cheap drinks, decent wide selection of beers, and every now and then an actual band playing on the weekends. It's not much but they do a pretty decent job using what they have.
Personally I like the place. It's not pretentious and they have cheap drinks. What more do you want? If you want to be surrounded by a bunch of beautiful people then there are loads of places inside the Houston loops which can accomodate your fat wallet and overbearing need to lay seed throughout Houston....

This place is the definition of "A-OK.".  The employees are friendly enough, the atmosphere is clearly "a bar," and the prices seem on par with other places.  I've only been once  and it was the $10 steak night.  It was worth the price for something different, but it's not something I'd go back regularly for.  I would never have known the place existed had some friends not suggested it for a meeting.  I'd go back and give it another try... but I'm not a big bar person... so it probably won't be too soon.
Review Source:I see where the owner has replied  stating I  own a bar... Trust me If I owned a bar  I would invite the Blaggards to my bar  in a heart beat .... they deserve a better venue..  I also  notice that all of a sudden a few glowingly positive reviews pop up  claiming that this "bar "  is the best in town .... really  so which staff members posted those reviews!!!  I claim BS on those reviews
I never said I was a regular of your bar ... I said  I am a FAN of the Blaggards  not of your bar  and the band brought me into your business.
I also noticed that you made no mention of wanting to fix my problem of  your staff member padding their tip on my CC  ...  really....  you have no problem with my CC bill getting a liittle extra added to it ....
I also noticed you made  no request to ask who the person was who demanded I tip more and then most likely was the one who padded their tip ...
Yup I see how you take care of your customers .....  oh wait  I am an EX customer  I do not  go to places that cheat me out of my hard earned money .....
The new ashford pub opened up. Friday was there day and it was awesome they had the blaggards there who sounded awesome. If your a fan of the blaggards you have to see them here. Ok back to the bar, this is the new ashford pub if you ever went to the old one its similar but up dated and cleaner. Â Its an irish bar/dive bar. Â They have a food selection which the neighbors cook for them and a great beer selection. There are 20 beers alone on tap with a few being from Katy. (Ridgeback is a must try) I I believe Sunday and Wednesday they have poker night and happy hour before 7 Mondays karaoke. Anyways its a must try place, good group of people there and nice owners.
