McElroy's Pub

Best neighborhood bar in Houston! Great patio! Amazing bartenders!!!! Management there is very helpful! The regulars there are the very friendly! Love this place

One of my other yelp friends frequents this place as it is next door to a bar that is extremely busy most times. He said there's no waiting for drinks here! I met him there the other night as I left out of the busy place to have a few drinks with him. There weren't many people here so the service was great. There wasn't a DJ I don't remember where the music was coming from.It was a good change of pace as you can sit down and talk and be heard.

Eh, only ended up at McElroy's because The Davenport next door was uncomfortably packed. My taste buds were looking forward to a very strong and delicious martini (standard at Davenport's), and I was gravely let down.This place was a bit dingy, pretty empty and not really exciting. They seemed to have an alright beer list, but most of it was in bottles...I prefer draft.

Didn't even get a chance to try a drink here as the bar tender completely ignored my boyfriend and I. We waited about 10/15 minutes and all we got were "are you ready?" And an annoyed face when we asked to see the happy hour menu. The place itself was not packed with people and smelled like an old hotel. Would not recommend this place to any friends of mine. Plenty of others places to go.

Whether you belly up to the bar late night, party in the back patio or kick back on a sofa - you're gonna have a "not too bad" time at McElroy's. Even though it's in my 'hood, I tend to overlook it. But lately I've been making it a nightcap spot. They've got darts, TVs (I was mesmerized by Shark Week most recently), a decent electronic jukebox - or at least patrons that can select an entertaining playlist - stiff drinks, good beer selection, cool bartenders, and nighttime visits from the tamale family. Winner winner chicken tamale dinner.

For awhile I started checking out different areas of time to grab a drink. I was dead set against Washington for awhile now, and the village has just plain bored me so I started expanding back towards upper kirby and montrose area.This bar is one chilled and relaxed place. They have an updated jukebox but people still play the oldies. The patio area is deceptionally big. Nice place to grab a simple drink and converse amongst friends.

Great bartenders, great back patio, tv's outside and in, pool table, darts, golden tee, a lot of bourbon and whiskey, awesome jukebox, seating for big groups, fun place to party and the best Guinness on draught. Traditional Irish pub.

yes this is the best laid back chill bar. Absolutely amazing atmosphere little nice vintage sofas on each corner. i'd love it if it was little darker on around where the sofas are from an interior designer point of view. also make sure you check out their out patio. not sure their parking though.

My friend and I came here for a pre-dinner drink. Besides the group of men crowding at the bar watching both Astros and Sunday NFL games, the interior of the place was empty.The decor is an old-school style. Similar to a cigar lounge or whiskey lounge furniture. Sadly, they were not comfortable couches at all. They just looked comfy and cozy, looks can be deceiving. I sat on one of the couches for a little while, and we had to move. It was rough, no padding.They also have a patio with tables/chairs out back, but only some of them were under the covered awning. The rest were tables under the sun. It looks like there was a TV out there as well, as people were watching a game. I did not see a menu, nor was I offered a menu by the one bartender. So I tried to order Shiner on tap, which she said they didn't have. But when I asked about the bottle, she said they did. Nearly all of the business surrounding this place and Davenports is shuttered. I'm hoping they have plans to renovate this stripe area because it's looking shabby!Parking is street, and there is no designated lot. But you can use one of the closed business lots, you should be fine.

Great neighborhood pub/bar. Outside patio seating that is dog friendly. TouchTunes inside so you can select your own music. Full bar. Chill ambiance.
