Jerry was great with the cocktails based on my liquor preference. He made me some delicious drinks such the Sidecar, and a Whiskey Sour. This place is a cute, cozy older gem that is great for date night. I plan to come back on one of their Wednesday open mics to check out local artist talent. Thanks for the great drinks and hospitality, Jerry!

We went in early October because this used to be one of my favorite hangouts. I was pleasantly surprised by Jerry’s knowledge of drinks and his demeanor. If you’re looking for a good classic cocktail, his ingenuity can makes the flavors jump out. We had a great time because of him. I recommend going to see him and this historic bar. You will not be disappointed.

Bartender Jerry did a wonderful job tending to my wife and me at the bar on a late Saturday night a few weeks ago. He takes care of the quality of every drink. Taste matters… he made the tastiest Old Fashioned I have ever had. If he won’t drink it himself he wouldn’t serve it to you. By the end of the night he even created a great mocktail for the designated driver. Jerry makes the classic drinks as they should taste and they go well with the charm of the ol’ bar.

Great drinks and atmosphere! the bartender knew how to make amazing drinks and it was the perfect spot to hit for a good bar and band. the bartenders drinks were beautiful and on point while the band played music with a good vibe. definitely will come back!

The bartender Jerry is an excellent host and very good at his craft. I totally recommend this place to anyone looking for a great drink and a relaxed fun atmosphere.

Very cool look at Houston’s oldest bar

We had an AWESOME time here! Atmosphere was great, the people and bartenders were so friendly and attentive, and the entertainment was phenomenal! Scotty B. is an amazing singer and keeps things lively by mixing it up! He was very versatile with his music selections and sounded great! Cool dude!

I used to come to this bar about 20 years ago when they had pool tables. We would walk next door from WCG law firm, and it was very convenient to have a few drinks while traffic cleared up. The bar looks nice and still great to visit. We had a Scarlett (owner) drink , which is a lemon drop martini. The bartender was great and friendly.
