brick house tavern + tap

i ate lunch at thebarand really enjoyed it. i wasn't sure what to expect based on the reviews. i was impressed by the drink menu, lots of current options. the staff was really friendly and the food was great....i will definitely be back.

happy hour hot spot. visited here with the husband. it was happy hour so the beer was cold delicious and on sale and appetizers were $5 each so we got a couple of those instead of full meals. fried zucchini was awesome. we will definitely be back.
went a second time with a large party of family type crowd. merideth was not as good when they were a bit busier, but food was again delicious. some reviews say salty and i agree but i am a fan or salty food. tavern is in the name and it isbarfood but better. the hubs went with some co-workers and said the chicken and waffles is awesome and so big another guy in his party had to finish it for him.

2nd best sportsbarin stone oak...worth the trip!. i rank bht&t at 2nd overall for sports bars in the stone oak area, just behind cover three. ambiance is warm, clean, and inviting with a humongo fireplace. despite being 175 in the middle of summer in south central tejas, that bad boy was lit up and looked good. lots of hdtvs with good views. open air seating outside. hostess offered us a booth, table, or....sofa (wtf?). we opted for a table. staff are friendly, attentive, and helpful. menu is quite varied. we went for 4 snacks. the 2 that our server recommended were excellent: sweet & spicy tails and duck wings. we avoided the fried stuffed olives, per the server. spike calamari and white meat chicken bites were...okay. great assortment of draft beers. we noticed the beer bongs, but passed on that college antic. overall: very good. recommended. will return.

poor service. i've been to this pub 6 or 7 times and the service was equally poor every time. at first i thought it was because they were new and just needed a little time to get staff organized and their routine established. i was wrong. if you decide to sit at thebaryou can expect to be ignored for at least the first 15 minutes before you are acknowledged. watching what goes on behind thebaryou can see lack of organization. no one bartender just tends to the bar. thebaris where regulars like to sit. you won't keep regulars if you ignore them. the food is pretty good. but eventually even good food cannot overcome bad service.

service and food is good. i had the crab cake burger. wife had the blue cheese burger. but for a sportsbartype place the beer isn't cold. i'll give it a month before i go back. if the beer isn't cold. it'll be the last time i go.
