Tony's Tavern

"Well, well, well. Look what I found. I have found dive paradise. When you think of a dive bar, you envision a bar that is exactly like this. Bars like this don't strive to change, but strive to remain exactly the way they are. I think Tony's has earned the right in the community to remain exactly the way they are. Now I've only been here one time, and that one time meant allot. Especially for someone who is as picky as I am. Tony's got me on one of those nights where I needed a rescue. I visited Tony's on the night of Cinco de Mayo. I've never been out on that day before so decided to go out and see what the celebration were all about. Boy was I disappointed on the Mexican restaurant that I selected but that's a different review (Tio Chu Cho). Afterwards, I decided to go on an adventure to find a new spot to just have a few drinks before heading home. I thought of Tony's as I always passed it by, but never stopped yet hoped it was a non smoking bar. Well... It's not.. And that's the only thing stopping me from giving it 5 stars. (I could never give 5 stars to any place the allows smoking. Just me.)The service we received at Tony's by Brian the bartender was superb. I had about 6 Jack and Cokes and all 6 were made exactly the same, in the larger glasses and only 6 bucks. I was in Jack Daniels paradise. Brian was consistent and had that "hell yeah I'm a bartender and proud of it" personality. Awesome!To add to that excellent service, the music that was being played was nothing short of flawless. I mean I felt right at home. The DJ was kicking out some classic rock tunes as well as some excellent 90's rock. I'm talking music ranging from Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, Disturbed, Counting Crows, Seether, Bon Jovi and all the likes. It....was....awesome!!!Despite this being a bar that allows as much smoking as one can ever stand, they make up for it in customer service and music. This spot completely saved my Cinco de Mayo disaster night and officially have a brand new customer. Oh, they do not serve food, but they are directly next to a spot that I visited before stopping in that makes some very tasting Mexican food. ( Viva Jalisco Taqueria) I will be reviewing them soon. Burp well...and prosper!"

"What is not to like about here? It's a neighborhood bar where you have a variety of people coming in and enjoying the brew and atmosphere. During crawfish season on Sunday's you can enjoy their $20 all you can eat so the next time around you'll want to bookmark this place and try it. It's a little dark in here but enough lighting to see who you might bump into, the people are friendly, the staff and owners are friendlier and the prices on the drinks are friendlinest. Parking shouldn't be a problem here even though it shares a parking lot with multiple businesses, least I've never had a problem on the Sundays I've visited. There is a little patio towards the back where you can mingle and smoke with your partners. Have a nice day!"

"I had a good time here! Came here for a friend's birthday a while ago and we had a last minute room change because some friends could not make it anymore. They were very accommodating, and because there was a smaller room available, they let us change our reservation to that room last minute. Granted, this was around 9pm at night, which I believe is probably before the rush of people come in for karaoke. However, the smaller room they led us to only actually had one microphone working, so it was kind of a bummer. But then! They said the other small room had opened up and we could take it! So they heard our concerns and were looking out for us and moved us when possible! We had a great time and will come here again for more karaoke! This is a BYOB place (they charge corking fees though), which is great because we got to buy some drinks from the supermarket in the same plaza and just bring it over :) not sure if it needs to be said either, but parking here is great. This is located in a huge and poppin plaza so lots of parking areas. Actually the parking can fill up pretty quickly, but there are garages in the corners that always have open spots. This plaza has also been pretty safe - I have seen police cars patrolling the plaza.I'd recommend coming here to try karaoke if you'd like! I think coming earlier rather than later is probably why I had a good experience because they were not too busy yet."

"Emptier than I would expect on a Friday night, which was good because no wait, but disappointing because this place should be packed. Delicious food on a huge menu at a decent price. The takoyaki was so hot that when I bit into it, the molten interior cooked the roof of my mouth enough the peel the skin AND I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN BECAUSE IT WAS THAT DELICIOUS.This food was so fresh and delicious that I immediately planned ehat I would get upon returning. That menu is do enormous, you will have a hard time deciding what to get. Every dish killed. The spicy gobchan gui gui was incredible.

"I liked this place. I'm not a beer drinker, but they did have Lime A Rita's for me, small bottles of wine for others and beer for everyone else. You can bring in a bottle of (whiskey, rum, etc.) and they will sell you the mixers. Like another reviewer, they will charge you a dollar for an extra cup of ice. This really doesn't bother me too much. Their beer was ice cold, says my brother. They give you a koozie to use while you are at the bar. No credit cards accepted but there's an ATM in the bar. We sat at the bar and celebrated my sisters fourth 29th birthday. Immediately "Mr. G." bought us three a round. Of course he was a local and was very nice, not overly friendly, just a good old boy sitting at the end of the bar. There was a birthday party in the pool room. They had brought their own food, etc. and it looked like a fun, local, regulars type people. No creepy people here - no extremely young people, so it's not a meat market. No scummy people or loud talkers, no smelly alcoholic types either. There's a sign over the bar that says WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE. Age 35 and up, I'd say. VERY VERY clean bar, VERY clean bathroom. Domino players inside and out. Two or three pool tables. Cards. Karaoke starts at 8 PM. Beverly the owner is very friendly, not off putting at all. Other bartenders nice as well. They took the time to talk to their patrons unlike some other places, everyone treated us like they wanted us to come back. I like this place, and I will definitely be back."

"I love finding local spots that just have good food. One of the great things about this place is I don't have to fight traffic to go into town for Japanese good. This is a great place to just help that craving. Another great thing about this place is the variety of food they have. Outside of their sushi, they have a plethora of dishes for those who may not be the biggest sushi enthusiast but want to still join their friends. I went there for lunch and actually ordered the omurice which was quite delicious. The portion was huge and lasted me for 3 meals! I will notate that this is not the pocket egg omurice, but more of the flower/twister style for the egg. The rice was a bit stew-y which I love, but some may say it's a bit too much liquid. I also ordered the takoyaki as an appetizer which wasn't too bad. They also have bento boxes which our table ordered and that was a good deal as well since they give you a lot of protein. The service was pretty great. They were attentive and friendly. Overall they got our orders and food out in a timely manner. The atmosphere was also nice for lunch. There were people there but it didn't feel stuffy or too crowded. The noise level was appropriate as well. They also have an outside patio if it's a nice day and you want to sit outside. I also always appreciate their large parking lot, so you don't have to fight for a spot."

One Shot Pocha

"Pretty decent spot for your late night 'drunk' food, they close at 2am!! A rarity outside midtown or Washington Ave.The inside is cute with decorated chains dividing each table. Plenty of Kpop on TVs all over the restaurant. It might be hard to fit more than 6 people. They have a buzzer at the table to call up a waiter, recommended to use this otherwise they may not pass by too often.The banchan is super solid! One of my favs in Houston, no joke. The Army Hot Pot is a good amount of food for 3-4 people. The nuggets are good and goes with the cheese fondue, my only wish is the fondue wasn't the same price as the nuggets :OI give One Shot Pocha 4 Wonyoung's, out of 5."

"I can't hang with the Gen Zer's. Lol. This karaoke spot has a Tues night reverse happy hour. Came after a birthday dinner to check it out. It was around 10pm and it was only a handful of people in there. There was a DJ playing so we got a drink and jammed for a little bit. Majority of the tables had reserved on them so it confused me a bit at first. Ya girl old. I was only going to stay out until 11 on a "work night". When we were getting ready to leave the DJ started making announcements that karaoke was about to start. A lot more people were there at that time. But I'm like y'all "about" to get started at 11!!? Don't y'all work tomorrow? Lol. The crowd seemed very young like 20s, maybe early 30s. Y'all got the energy, not me. I noticed the pieces of papers on the tables to select a song and hand it to the DJ to get in que. To my dismay they had a stipulation that you had to buy two drinks in order to even sign up for karaoke.I had ordered a side car which I don't think was on their happy hour special. It was $15 and it was just okay. It had way to much ice and not enough liquor. I was done after that and didn't want to order anything else."

The Continental Club

★★★★☆ 3.8 (116)

"I've been here a couple of times to see various musicians and it's an okay environment, but the building just wasn't designed for live music. It sucks acoustically, no other way around it. The main room is very loud and guests will come and go, if they're not dancing in front of the stage, since there is limited seating. The back room has 2 pool tables and shuffleboard, although they board them up so customers can't play on them during performances. A vendor is usually set up selling bbq back there. Along the back wall of the back room is the hallway to the restrooms and back patio.As far as entry, they set up outside on the sidewalk and either charge a cover sometimes, or ask for a small donation to see the band/performer. However, the venue has 2 entrances, so if you were to enter from Shoeshine Charlies' bar next door, and proceed to the back hallway and keep walking it would lead to the rear of CC, thus bypassing the doorman.On nice evenings, most people seem to gravitate toward the back patio, The Pachinko Bar, which sort of has a tropical theme going on with a palm tree and a small open air bar building."

"Today was grand opening so we decide to stop by and grab some Korean food. The place was very roomy and spacious . It is sorta loud but it's to be expected because it's a karaoke place. I ordered several dishes. I was a bit disappointed with the corn cheese. It just look like they pours can corn on the hot plate and added cheese on top . The cheese wasn't even broiled on top so it kinda just came out 1 big blob when I scooped it up. There was lots of water from the canned corn on the platter too. I highly recommend they drain it completely before placing it on the hot platter. The spicy fried chicken was very flavorful and delicious. I like this the best. It wasn't really spicy more like tasty and sweet. I give it a 1 on spice level. We tried the grilled eel which was meh. There wasn't much meat of the eel and the onions, scallions and ginger took away from all the flavor of eel. Service was good, just push the button and they come to you within 30 seconds. Overall this a fun place to be, I would recommend getting a room to sing karaoke and grabbing some delicious wings."

"BMP is a great place to hang out, especially for groups! I've done karaoke here a couple of times and have had a lot of fun. They have two karaoke rooms. I've only been in the larger one. I would estimate that it can accommodate about 10-15 people comfortably. They have an extensive song catalog which you can access via QR code. It's very easy and straightforward to use. The dining area is a moderate size and they have a nice patio out front. The staff has always been very friendly and attentive. They have reverse happy hour on Fridays after 9 pm.Drinks: Some of the cocktails that I've tried are the GQCucumber, the Red Panda, and the Sunset in Sulu. They also have mimosa and beer towers. On one visit, the server brought us a water tower which was so convenient for our large group.Food: The one dish that I've tried a few times and have consistently enjoyed is the Veggie Lumpia. The Brussels were too sweet and had way too much sauce. The Cucumber Salad is okay. It's tart and vinegar forward. It's not a salad, it's more like marinated sliced cucumbers. The Chickcharons aren't bad, but they are very greasy. Some pieces were a little too chewy for my preference. BMP shares a private lot with a few other businesses. There's a decent amount of parking and I've never had trouble getting a spot. There's also some street spots on 5th as well as Yale right in front of the shopping complex. BMP is a cool place with a cool vibe. I'm looking forward to coming back (and maybe trying an actual entrée)."

"I am giving this two stars only because of the waitstaff was extremely nice.Rule number one of dating in Texas: women are thirsty and do not care to include the EXTREMELY RUDE BARTENDER WHO IGNORED ME AND OPENLY FLIRTED WITH MY DATE! RUDE!!! We finally used only the waitstaff for drinks since the bartender refused to listen to my orders or would ask my date personal questions about his life. My date kept telling her he was with me and she made disgusting faces. Atmosphere: when we finally sat down, the music was okay, nothing what we expected, it was dated for how the "club" was designed. DRINKS: I was DD so my date said his drinks we extremely watered down, he had a couple of scotches neat, then a beer. I had cranberry and sparkling water which was more sparkling water than cranberry (I asked for a splash of sparkling water).All in all this is not a place I would recommend if they continue to use someone like Katrina/Kathy/Katy for their bartender or have the music they played. The waitstaff was attentive when they saw someone needed them. The owner was lurking, we were told that on our way out because of the bad bar service."

"Birthday Shenanigans 08/19/2023 I celebrated my birthday here about a month ago with my sister, my daughter, and my friends. We had a blast! The party did not stop as we took to the stage all night performing our best and worst of karaoke. I wouldn't say that this is one of the best karaoke bars around town, but it's cool for what it is. It's pretty small and cramped inside and when it gets packed, people are bumping into one another unintentionally. The wait staff is always some new random awkward teenage-babyface-looking kid that's in training and doesn't know much about the food and drink's menu. When questioned about the prices of their drinks, the young and innocent wild-eyed server had to run and find out how much the drinks were, because for some odd reason the prices are not listed on the drinks' menu. I have to admit that they have been price gouging for food and drinks that are not worth the expensive prices that they've tagged to certain items such as their wings, which are like 13 bucks for five. I don't mind paying the 13 bucks, but can you at least add two or three more wings to it? Since I've been visiting this place frequently, I've started to notice that they're always switching up the prices on the food and drinks, which is pretty annoying. One weekend a Lemon drop Martini may cost you $12, and then the following weekend, it may cost you $14 or $15. Moreover, they're always hiring a new cook in the kitchen. Sometimes the cook is a good one and other times, NOT! However, this last visit they had an amazing cook! We ordered plain wings and the loaded nachos and both were really delicious, especially the wings. They were flavorful, fried to perfection, and seasoned just right. Hopefully, they will keep him around for a while. Furthermore, there's an automatic gratuity charge on all purchases so beware, because I was tipping my server in cash and paying my bill with my card for part of the night not knowing that I was already paying a gratuity fee on my debit card. It wasn't until my friend brought it to my attention and admonished me to stop overtipping. You would think the server would have informed me of this, but of course he did not do that. I kind of felt robbed and misused after that. Overall, I will continue to patronize with them in the future occasionally. Although they have their many flaws, I have to admit that they have the place jumping on a Friday and Saturday night. The ambiance is off-the-chart- high energy with strangers of all walks of life supporting one another on stage. However, if you choose to give them a try, I would suggest watching your bill closely to ensure you're not being overcharged. Also, another FYI, there's a pre-charge for an open tab when paying with a card. Because of the price gouging, the constant price changes, and the inconsistency of the wait staff service, I am changing my rating to a two-star rating. They really need to make some major improvements."

This is basically East Wall Restaurant but with the added bonus of being open very late. Unfortunately, unlike East Wall, they do not serve tap water, and they also have smaller portions, and it's also extremely cold in here throughout all the chilly months in Houston, of which there are a lot more than advertised.The temperature and water issue and portion size could be enough to lower the star rating but I won't - the food is too good, service is great, and the hours are perfect for us.But those factors are a shame because if these were not the case then we would eat here all the time, and one of the servers here is a true and great friend of ours and we love her. We talk pets with her all the time.We are a little sad that we can't come back here more because of those aphro mentioned problems - I mean aforementioned but whatever, google voice. So the food here is spectacular especially the flat noodles w chicken extra spicy, and the snow pea leaves extra spicy.Of course it's also a very imaginative karaoke place which is a great place to come and sing, which has rooms named after different parts of Houston and its suburbs.No money so I have to ScroungeLike me ever since I was YoungeAnd for Chinese FoodI don't mean to be rudeBut get your fat ass to Neway LoungeI basically have the same feelings for Neway that I feel for East Wall.One of Chinatown's best, with wonderful meals, perfect service, and one of our fave restaurants in Houston.We've been coming to Neway and East Wall for a year. Some of the best Chinese dishes, like Snow Pea Leaves with extra spice, and wonderful flat noodles w chicken, delicious and perfect. Their chili chicken is also good.NeWay is open later, with the same lovely servers and amazing dishes, a little bit more expensive, smaller portions, bottled water only. So we prefer EW.The employees here get 10/5 if that's possible. They're top notch, some of the nicest in Chinatown. I had a bad experience a long time ago (maybe different workers) but the current batch are wonderful.Easily scores 5, but I wish veggie portions were bigger, because they taste better than local rival in the same plaza FuFu, and for 50-70% as much food it's not filling, and harder for me to be a true regular patron.Also, milk tea, whom is one of the best cats in the world - a Siamese we found outside here as a baby, which led us to be regulars here. We love Milky so much!And of course, I recommend going to East Wall too, so here's a rap for East Wall:Ordered 20 dishes and damn it was quite the FEAST WALLI lift then I eat here, so they call me BEAST WALLEating here can be religious, so they call it PRIEST WALLMake so many funny raps about it, it's DECEASED WALLThey don't own the building, that's why it is LEASED WALLSince I stopped eating here nightly, my weight has DECREASED WALLBarbi doesn't douche enough, so they call her YEAST WALLHer taste's more explosive than conflict in the MIDEAST WALLFlavour controversial like OJ getting RELEASED WALLThought my D could not get bigger, but here it INCREASED WALLSo skip the peen enlargement pills, instead come to EAST WALLAlmost enjoy this as much as Donald being IMPEACHED WALLVoted for the Dems who handed racist Reps DEFEATS WALLHope that in 2 and 4 years the pattern then REPEATS WALLBarbi likes to pose here with her prissy shoes and FEETS WALLSometimes if she wears a crop top she shows off her TEATS WALLIf you want to taste the food that Barbi loves, try EAST WALLNot to be confused with how funny I am (Deceased Wall), my shirts (Creased Wall), or if you don't wash down south (Yeast Wall)."

I'm surprised that I'm giving it three stars, but being that there aren't many places with a dance floor in that area (please don't say 'Hush,' people), when I'm on this side of town with old friends, we always go to Sharky's.Weekdays, it's your typical sports bar: happy hour, pool tables, crack machines, etc. Weekends, however, it's basically a club. Live music, a stage, live dj, a newly built catwalk for drunk chicks to climb on and let loose (emphasis on the 'loose'), bottle service...You'll find cover charge on Friday night (live music) and on Saturday (live dj); karaoke is on Thursday, Drinks are kinda pricey, considering you're not in the big city; bartenders are somewhat fast/attentive if you get to know them. BTW, you can smoke here, so don't forget the gerts!Basically, if you're in the area, next to Moe's, I always choose Sharky's."

"You know there are those rare moments that you find a place that although may be lacking in some things, but they make it up for others. This is one of those places. I first discovered this place months ago simply by driving by. However after browsing online to find more information about it I decided not to give it a try because it wasn't a non smoking bar. After all, I'm not a smoker so why should I smell like one just by visiting a place. Nevertheless months later in search for a spot that does Karaoke on a Saturday night my Google results listed this place as a candidate. So I made the sacrifice to give it a visit on a Tuesday night to take one for the non smoking team. (They have Karaoke on Tuesday and Saturdays).What I discovered can be summed up in one word. Hospitality. We started off with the most popular drink in America. The Margarita. They had the frozen machine but they didn't have it running so they made one from scratch. ( It was aweful. The bartender immediately took it and made another. It too was aweful. He waited as we tried it again and didn't want to leave us drinking something that wasn't good. So he explained what he used and asked us to give him another try. We did. And the later was perfect. He explained it was due to him making a skinny rita vs the standard. For the remaining of the night he made them consistently good. Let's be clear. This place serves no food. It is a dive bar with amazing hospitality. We met the 2 owners and the manager. Both were courteous and very welcoming. Both wanted us to know that it was their intention to make sure everyone that walks in that door has fun. At 9 the Karaoke DJ began the show with a great sound system, lighting and costumes. They have a stage for you to perform on and some stage lighting as well. Quickly the list of singers started coming in from nowhere. It was a great fun night and after I left I did not have as much smokiness smell that I thought I would. This is perhaps due to the large smoke filters they have. I was told that they have been considering doing away with smoking altogether. I sincerely wish they would.To sum I would recommend this place for a good night of Karaoke. Don't expect a huge place with lots of seating cause like I said it's a dive. They clearly can use more seating. They have food vendors that come by late at night with some tasty tamales or beef jerky but there is also a Chinese restaurant next door that I think close at 10. I don't know if you can bring food in or not but I can't imagine why not since they don't serve food.It's a bar so of course they have beer. The prices are pretty decent and they seem to tend to make other mixed drinks based on your personal taste.Finally Cypress we have a good Saturday night Karaoke spot. Sing well and prosper."

If you park in the garage (there isn't anywhere else, they took away street parking in that area a while ago), you can enter through the movie theatre. Some of the doors to the elevator were locked, but I'm not sure if that was random, but we had to take the stairwell to the 1st floor of the movie theatre. We left close to closing time and were not able to exit the same way, so we had to walk outside.I was disappointed the golf was not electronic like Puttshack, so we decided not to play. We did order drinks and chilled in the bar area for a couple of hours. They have a few table games which kept us entertained. The service at the bar was super friendly and pleasant. They have an elaborate drink menu with fun cups, but we stuck to a basic paloma and margarita. The water cups are branded, which was a nice touch.The decor and the courses were beautiful and very eye-catching. There are also karaoke rooms of a decent size."

"I've always had a good time here with friends and colleagues after a long day of work! Remote is in Korean, so it's def helpful if you have some help or familiar with Hangul. Once you know how to navigate, you just have to explore. Food and snacks are pretty good. I appreciate having privacy of rooms and bathroom so you're not always having to open the door to go out. The last time I went, Lily helped us, and she was super cheerful :)) In the past, we had pitchers of water provided, so idk if it's complementary when there's a big group versus having to pay for water bottles when a smaller group. Lastly, someone said there's no BTS, but they actually have a large BTS selection inclusive of Korean and Japanese. They've already listed some new releases, but I'm hoping they're ready the next time my friends and I go!"
