I love this bar. Great staff and Love their Karaoke! Tonya Rocks that stage and always helpful. You nervous to sing she will sing with you. Poker and Karaoke can't go wrong. Great Specials to go along with all it :-) Tonya has a huge crowd that followers her so get their early to get a spot to sing.
Review Source:I have been coming here for awhile now on Fridays (love the different bands). The service is good, Â the staff are friendly and the drinks are cheap. Â They have a good setup as a local bar. There is something for everyone. Between sets the music is good and the bands are always entertaining (whether they are good or not). Sometimes the music is really loud, but that's never bothered me. They also have some food to grub on. They have a beer pong table which I think should be redone (it's a pool table with boards on top). And although I've never played it's always being used. All in all a great little place and I will continue to hang out there.
Review Source:On a whim, I met a date here to play free poker on a Monday night. Granted, my apprehensions were too numerous to count. Â I would be bluffing if I said they weren't (yep, a little poker humor to up the ante....oh wait, there it goes again).
First of all, it was little tricky to find this place. There was no clear signage and its tucked back in a shopping center behind a mexican restaurant. Â I arrived around 7:15 and poker started at 7:30. Â It seemed pretty dead and I wasn't too sold on actually playing. Â I intended to attend as observer. Â A couple whiskey and cokes later and I decided to give it a whirl. Â All the players at our table were extremely friendly and understanding of my newbie status. Â Waitresses were very attentive, drinks were cheap, and the crowd was eclectic. Â As the night went on, the place began to fill up with a wide ranges of shapes, sizes, ages, and colors. Overall, diversity at its finest...at least compared to old Katy/Cinco where I normally drink.
My biggest complaint was the smoke. Sorry, Bourbon Street but its as so bad I had to take off two stars. I sat next to a chain smoker and by the end of the game everyone at the table, except my friend and I had engaged in some amount of smoking. Â I wreaked of smoke when I left, which is a bit of a downside at the end of date. Â I can't wait for Katy to outlaw smoking. When that happens, I think Bourbon Street and I can come to pleasant arrangement every Monday night.
A few years back I would recommend you skip this place but my opinion has changed. I recently been stopping by with friends and have been amazed of the upgrades they have added. New flat and projector screens, carpet, dance floor, lighting, and even though you still leave smelling like smoke its has improved. It has been modernized a bit and looking better every time. The beer and food prices are excellent. It hard to figure out the crowd because it changes. Expect older regulars at the poker tables, a younger crowd by the pool tables and music varies as well.
Review Source:Although I admit that there has been a smoky atmosphere in the past you need to remember that Katy allows smoking. Â This is not a pretentious bar, it is not a bar on Washington and it is not a place for people who drink fruity drinks with their pinkies held high. Â It is a place for regular people to hang out and drink a beer. Â They have UFC and don't charge a cover and they have regular drink specials and a butt load of TVs. Â Convenient location, cheap drinks and nice staff. Â That is good enough for me.
Review Source:Do not go.
The only bright side I can think of is that on Tuesdays they have $1.50 bottle beers all night long. Â Also, if you smoke, you can smoke indoors. Â They also have buzztime poker and trivia along with poker tournaments on Tuesdays.
However, all of that is not worth the effort. Â The place stinks (I am a smoker, however this place goes beyond smokey - it just stinks, though the smoke smell doesn't help I'm sure), the bartender is always overworked, the place is always empty, no music is ever playing and there are no waitresses. Â Most nights it is only one bartender, maybe two if it is a poker night or something, and unless you like hiking over to the bar and waiting for 10 minutes each time you want a refill, stay away.
Such a shame. Â This place could be so much more. Â Perhaps it wouldn't stink so bad if they actually vented the place out once a week?
Ok, so if you really want to go out on mason, and perhaps have some younger companions with you (they don't card at the door) or maybe, just want to experience the novelty of a seriously divey bar (the sort of place you'd rather never see with the lights full on), you might enjoy bourbon street...
The drinks are not skillfully prepared, though, the bartenders have always been friendly to me. The times I've been here are for younger acquaintance's 21st birthdays, and this one time a friend from out of town was visiting and had lost her driver's license.
It's VERY smokey inside, something you won't be used to if you usually go out in houston, or even better ventilated bars in Katy. Sometimes there's karaoke, which is VERY entertaining, if you like watching drunk people who can't sing wreck your childhood favorites. (I do happen to enjoy this. Schadenfreude?)
There are pool tables, and I know on certain nights when they do poker, the "poker corner" is packed. It's just not my scene, but they do seem to have loyal clientele.
No, thank you.
Waaaay too smoky. I'll admit I'm used to bars in cities where smoking indoors is illegal, so any smoke is too much for me, but in this case I was hacking and coughing within five minutes.
No atmosphere whatsoever. No one was even feeding the jukebox.
Poor lone bartender had four wells to work and a lot of area to cover, which translated to poor service, but I'll blame the management for that one over the girl herself.
$4 weak well drink (g&t), which wasn't terrible but considering it probably didn't even have a shot worth of liquor in it, I wasn't impressed. Plastic cups.
Uninteresting crowd that felt pretty sparse in such a huge space. No one was playing any of the games and only one pool table was in use.
If you like to smoke and are tired of the other two or so bars in town, it's probably worth a stop, but I can't see any reason for me to bother again.
Finally! There is a cool bar in Katy! I mean in all fairness I haven't been to all of the bars in Katy, but the ones I have been to aren't exactly cool. (i.e. Einsteins, yuck)
We came here on Saturday Sept.13th, the day after Hurricane Ike hit. Lots of places weren't even open, and lots of people weren't out. But this place hit the spot. Good stiff drinks, not too pricey, clean bathrooms, and a nice big place. It wasn't like walking into smoked out cigarette chimney either (Katy has not enforced a ban on cigarette smoke inside bars yet). But then again, it was empty, it probably could get pretty smokey too.
There was darts, pool, shuffleboard and a lots of TV for the sports fans.
When in Katy, definitely hit this joint up! Its walking distance from Einstein's and a much better choice in my opinion.
