Pat's Pub

A true dive bar with a VERY loyal crowd.   4 coin-operated pool tables with some very good players that are also fun (and one old bad loser that is not fun).    VERY smoky.   Great bar staff.

I grew up in The Colony and remember Pat's Pub when it was OB's Pub...A scary and small little place where I remember seeing men urinating outside as a child.

Well, as soon as I turned 21, I decided on a bars of The Colony tour.  I was already a regular at CJ's when I tried Pat's Pub.   Man, it had changed from the day's of OB's and public urination.  It's MUCH bigger now.  They have lots of pool tables and darts.  They have a jukebox and karaoke on Friday and Saturday nights (those are the best nights to go!  I love their karaoke).  This is a true hole in the wall and I LOVE it.  The people are friendly, it doesn't get (TOO) rough, and they have wonderful and friendly staff and great drink specials.  I truly love this place and hate that I can't visit more often (I live in Dallas now and am moving to Austin soon).  If you need a great little place that doesn't care who you are or what brand of handbag you are carrying, you should totally visit Pat's Pub!!

I journey up to The Colony, or as I loving say, "half way to Oklahoma!", on occasion. We have family that are regulars to the Friday/Saturday Karaoke and we even know the KJ, Stacey. The drinks are STRONG and if you need to get blitzed, ask 'em for an Allie Fuck, it will get ya there!

The rotation is small-ish and you will definitely get to sing several times if you dare... the selection is lacking, but they will let you bring your own disks if ya want. The regulars are friendly, and are great for people watching!

Headed back for another round this weekend!
