O'Bannon's Tap House

Fantastic beer selection!  Often have Cask parties on Wednesdays where they'll get a specialty cask of a crowd favorite, with lots of giveaways.  Staff is friendly and extremely knowledgeable about beer & whiskeys, and can recommend different ones for beginners.  Love the atmosphere, very Irish, very dark, very friendly.

The best place in College Station to get a beer hands down.  There is a great old worn in pub feel.  Dark wood everywhere, tables scattered, interesting art work on the wall.  This is not a sports bar, but there are plenty of TV's for all the Aggies to keep up with their preferred sports.  Though when there is no game, the TV's are not just blaring ESPN for no reason.  Very chill at off times, or when no game on.

Anyway, the service is very informative and knowledgeable.  There is a beer club of sorts for the beer ticker.  A very good selection of all things booze.  A good selection of whiskey, and the best beer selection until you get to Houston.  Plenty of locals like Saint Arnold, now Karback, and always Real Ale.  A good mix of international and out of state imports.  Like Great Divide and Fuller's.  They now do casks, which I love.  I am not sure if that is on all the time, but seems like they have a good mix of beers they rotate in and out.  The few times I have been there for a cask, it went fast.  Always good.

An excellent chill place, and it is right in the middle of all the other college fun in College Station.

Rapidly coming to believe that this is probably the best bar in town. The cask-tappings on Wednesdays really made the time I was stuck here during the summer bearable, and I am pleased to see they are continuing what has now become a tradition. This is the ONLY place in town to get cask ale (aka the best beer on earth) with any consistency...though rumors of cask-tappings at Harvey Washbangers have me curious enough to investigate.
Love the new "what's on tap" chalkboard display, with more and better brews appearing here. Yep, you will certainly find me here on Wednesday's at 6 when that cask is tapped. I may even let you buy me a few pints.
