Had a great time for the first time here! Met a friend for HH. Prices were not bad, service was awesome and the food was great! Great place for an afternoon HH!

I really liked this place when it first opened, but tonight… No service. If you don’t sit at the bar, you will not get a drink. The bartender was actually using her right hand to text on her phone and her left hand to pour a drink. Seriously… Come on ladies. You are at work. This isn’t social hour. I’ll go to the bar at Salt Grass next time. Don’t mind paying higher prices if you can actually get a drink. Sorry Bad Dogz owner… Your girls could use some re-​training.

Maybe the bar should focus on customers that are of age. The night i was in here this bar was full of high school age kids being served alcohol. A server can’t even get you drinks in a reasonable time. Step up your game or close down.

Just retired from the AF. This place is hard. Every MSgt with a Harley should be here. You and your screaming eagle tat need to get here now! For real, this is a cool spot with friendly bartenders. Reminds me of my days in the AF in the 90’s. Great selection of beer.

If I could give here zero stars, I would. When the first thing out of the bar tender and wait staffs mouths are that they want to quit– you know you shouldn’t be there. After a few drinks we played darts and ordered food. Everything was fine. My friends and I leave, and go to sleep. We all wake up horrifically ill from food poisoning. I wouldn’t recommend going there again– and I’ll never be back.

My new favorite bar! Great food, must try the Boars Head corn dog covered in jalapeño corn bread. Great bar staff (Christian and Tia are the best!) Clean restrooms. Great music! And they have a ton of beer on tap. Great daily specials. #FireballFriday specials. Pickle Shots!!! Say hi to Roger, the owner, when you stop by.

Giving 2 stars, we only had the drinks on Monday, $ 3 dollar margarita night, extremely disappointing. This is Texas, I expect a frozen margarita, not a margarita on the rocks, and the saddest part is it was pretty watered down. You could see the melted water in our drinks as they arrived! Only had one drink then walked out. We dint stick around to try out the food, so can’t place a review on that. The bar it self was clean, I did really the décor, chairs broken in some areas, and parties larger then 4 are really cramped together.

On our way to a Christmas party and stopped in for a pre-​party drink. Should have kept going. Waitress (sara) was poor, the drink weak and the food cold. Oh hell, maybe I am getting them all mixed up. Anyway the place sucked.

First I would probably give 3 stars but minus one for no NFL ticket.
They do have draft beer w a few craft beers but nothing out of the ordinary so that was disappointing. I expected a lot more selection based on some of the reviews.
As far as the food is concerned — had the nachos and the wings. The nachos are served in a doggie bowl which is cute and all but makes if difficult to eat because the bowl is a bit deep. It was served with avocado which was a little unripe, salsa & jalapeño slices. Added chicken. The chicken pieces were either perfectly cooked or tasted like they had freezer burn.
The wings were breaded and fried. They were soggy since they were tossed in the sauce.
Seemed like everthing was under seasoned — needed salt.
Ordered a margarita w house tequila and it was $ 7!!! Holy crap– I wonder what a premium margarita would cost.
Not sure if I will return.

Surprisingly excellent food, especially for a bar. Great draft beer selection including local brews and other great craft beers. Full bar. Anthony is the ultimate bartender to boot! I will be back!

The clear plus to this bar/​pub is the location. Out of the way and yet close to everything. You can start your evening there then move onto Floores or Cooters, or you can end it there and chill with some live music or you can just make it your destination, for the game or to hang out on the patio. It’s clean, lots of tvs, pool tables, darts. Usually there’s a good band playing. Good fun grown crowd. Drinks specials are great as well. We went for a friend’s birthday, great service, plenty of seating for our whole party, and our server was very attentive to one of us that was extra hungry. I can’t speak for the food but he went through 5 different items so it must not have been bad? It could get a bit noisy because it’s on a smaller side, but it’s also cozy and pubby. Pay it a visit soon before everyone else finds it.

Karaōke is great on Tuesday had the fish and chips on 2 different visits. Fish was real good but don’t like the shoestring fries. Great selection of beer both in a glass or a can. Staff was excellent made you feel at home. I got to sing 3 songs which is good with the size of the crowd. Be back on every Tuesday

The greatest things really come in small packages. This is a great local pub that’s so close to home how can you not go. The draft beef selection is good and the bartender will always take care of you. Customer service as a whole is amazing. Not to mention local craft beer for $ 3 bucks a pint. What more could you want?

Like the atmosphere. Its small but personal with indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is limited. We had the Ruben and a Cheeseburger. Ruben was very good, but the cheeseburger was below average. I will go back and give it another try for the food, but I would definately go back with friends to hang out and enjoy a sip or two.

Tons of craft brews on draft, friendly staff. I have tried the grinder, the wrap, the chicken strips, and the fish and chips so far… They were all top notch pub food. And you know that being from the same owners as Bigz, the burgers have got to be good too. Nice, new dart machines and a great jukebox that you can access from an app on your phone. Very clean, with a friendly neighborhood pub feel. The friendly and helpful staff, wall to wall TVs for watching sports, great selection of draft beer, and great food make this spot from the people who brought you Bigz Burger Joint a winner.
P. S. For a refreshing and light cocktail, and a Bad Dogz exclusive, ask for the Stacy. It’s Tito’s vodka with sparking cucumber and mint water with a little bit of grapefruit juice and a sprig of mint. Delicious.
