Walked in on a Saturday night and was greeted right away by a friendly server. The scene was very entertaining. A white guy was trying to dance on every girl he saw and funny enough most if them danced with him granted it was 1am so I'm sure they were pleasantly wasted at that point. Off to the left a bunch of tattooed out scary looking guys played po with their hoochies watching. The rednecks were definitely at the bar and one sported a nice mullet. Over to the right there were 20 something's chilling with their drinks. We were only there an hour but we got wasted real quick and the server kept the doubles flowing. All in all the people watching was entertaining and we had fun. Only thing that I didn't like and it's not Nicks fault but the smoke in the air was intense. That's just The Colony for ya.
Review Source:Well, if you're looking to go hunting for worn-out cougars this is the place to do it I guess. Â Ladies, if you want a loser you can find one here also. Â There's a match for every person with low standards at Nick's! Â
It was karaoke night last night. Â Why do people want to sing love ballads during karaoke?? Â I just don't get it. Â Some of the wannabe stars were okay but most of them made me want to listen to someone clawing a chalk board instead.
Our waitress, Holly, was great!! Â She busted her ass the entire night. Â And SHE is the reason I gave this place 2 stars. Â Oh, I also had the mozzarella sticks. Â Nice to know Nick and I shop at the same grocery store!
Beer was relatively cheap but...this place is so awful I don't think I would come back even if they lowered beer prices to free.
Within the one star is a credit for the food and reasonable beer prices. While the meals aren't anything terribly special - eerily identical to Chili's, actually - they're not inedible or disgusting, either. Good, but not enough to go out of your way to eat.
Granted, even if the ghost of Julia Child herself was back there whipping up coq al vin I'm not sure it'd be worth popping into. The regular clientele looks like the reason why so many straight women eventually opt to patronize gay bars, with the waitresses shrink-wrapped into the most obscenely tiny shorts you can imagine. I'm certainly all for women dressing as they please, but the poor young lady waiting on our table didn't look comfortable in what I'm assuming is the required getup since every other server was dressed the exact same. She did a fine enough job and seemed sweet; I wanted very much to pull her aside and tell her that the tips just aren't worth her discomfort night after night. Nobody should make her dress in a way that makes her feel exploited or exposed. But I didn't, because it really wasn't my business. Didn't stop me from having some degree of sympathy for her, though.
And don't bother coming here for karaoke night, either. The selection is shockingly thin and the DJ has no qualms about starting hours late. It's rare when I visit a bar - doesn't matter if it's trendy, sporty, loungey, classy, or divey - and feel like I have to take a shower immediately after exiting the door. I actually didn't feel very comfortable or safe while we were there. Doesn't mean it's inherently dangerous, of course, but my gut wrenched and being amongst family and friends was the only thing that quelled my anxiety. I've dangled off the side of cliffs and felt less threatened.
Every once in a while I get a wild hair and decide to pack a lunch and go on a ROAD TRIP! Â This time it was to The Colony to hang with the bf and his friends. Â What's on the agenda? Â Well, drinking of course. Â Enter Nick's Sports Grill.
This place is in a strip mall, as most bars are out in the burbs. Â It is deceptively huge. Â You walk in and there are tables and TVs everywhere and loud music blaring. Â The music is rock, rap, and country...there's really no rhyme or reason to it, but it was festive. Â There are quite a few pool tables and also 5 or 6 dart boards over to your left. Â We grabbed a seat and proceeded to start drinking while watching the UFC fight. Â The waitresses are wearing little referee shirts but they aren't really hoochie...if that is a good thing or bad thing is up to you. Â The drinks were pretty strong and when I ordered the waitress asked me "single or double?" Â Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! Â It was smoky for sure but eh whatever, I can handle it. Â Again, this is a place that has a raised area with tables so that you have to go up some stairs to sit there...these places are just ASKING for people to bust it. Â I didn't bust it because I am smart enough not to sit up there but I did see one guy almost bite it coming down those stairs. Â Be warned. Â After the UFC fight they started up karaoke over in the back corner....note to the staff...when you start up karoke keep a couple things in mind. Â Number one: don't start it up at 1am - not enough time to sing. Â Number two: please for the love stop the other music playing! Â We could hear the karaoke tunes and also the tunes playing on the sound system. Â It was almost headache inducing. Â I was a little disappointed with sitting at the table because it wasn't conducive to talking to and meeting new people, but by the end of the night we made a group of new friends so that added to the fun! Â Prices seemed reasonable...definitely cheaper than my typical night out in Dallas. Â And it was PACKED during the fight...I had no idea so many people lived out in, what is to me, the middle of nowhere! Â Overall seems like a solid location to watch some sports and drink yourself silly, make some new friends, and then rock out to some karaoke - all in the same place!
This is a great place to hang out with friends, shoot pool, throw darts, listen to loud music and drink cold brew. Â The restaurant side has plenty of television and good seating, karaoke on Thursdays, and a friendly staff. Â However, the place is very smoky. Â If you're not a smoker, you may find yourself overwhelmed, as they don't have great ventilation. Â It packs full on weekend nights, and it's always a good place to meet new people. Â Their food is your average bar food, nothing special, but definitely edible.
