I've been here at some weird hours, and the staff has always been very pleasant. The drinks are good and strong, but the real champion here is the jerky. The vibe is relaxed but not quite as "casual neighborhood bar" as some other local bars are. If nothing has changed there's a shot + tap beer + jerky deal that's super reasonable and will let you test out the different jerkies to see which one it is you like. Not all these jerkies were created equal - most are good but there's a few amazing ones.

Very, very limited food. People .... Usually, Don't go there for the food. The drinks were on point. I don't mind telling the Bartender that I actually enjoy the drinks and I couldn't get drunk if I wanted to. No ' excess' alcohol, I love the actual drink.The service was kool. He was very accommodating. The place has a kool ambiance. Dog Patch has definitely changed. Changed ownership , changed the workers, in addition to the 'new' clientele. Around the corner there was a place, we named, The Bucket of Blood! Now, today everything is cl

Not much needs to be said other than it's fantastic. One of the best cocktail bars in the city (if not THE best). Beverages are boozy, but perfectly blended to the point they almost taste like juice (in the BEST way possible). Staff is very friendly, not to mention talented, and the ambiance is more than welcoming.Third Rail is also doggo friendly, so by all means bring your four legged friends with you. Seek this spot out if you haven't already, you will not be disappointed.ONE THING: On a hot day, think 85+, it'll be hot AF in there so plan on sitting outside to enjoy your refreshing beverage.

Small little bar in dogpatch focused on dogs and jerky! They have a rail shot, which features a shot of liquor, a glass of beer and a type of jerky. I got the pawloma and really enjoyed it. The stainless straw was also a nice touch. My friend got the rail shot but I just wasn't a fan of the jerky.

Cool bar with plenty of space on a weekday evening. I had two drinks here that were plenty strong because I left and wasn't sure how I got home.

It was a cute lil bar! Perfect for a date night! We ordered at the bar and sat down at a 2-seater. The person taking our order appeared to be the bar back. He was very friendly, answered all our questions and provided a taster of a liqueur I didn't know. I'd like to comment that the bartended appeared like she didn't want to be there was probably having a bad night. She was just going through the motions. Thankful for the bar back. He delivered our drinks to our table. I ordered Evil Twin, fruity and citrusy. Bf ordered an IPA. We ordered Red Eye jerky, coffee and spicy flavors. Very good. We'd definitely go back to try other drinks.

The ambiance was really nice in this bar and the cocktail was light and refreshing which was perfect for a hot day. Skip the jerky, flavors were decent but the texture was way too hard to be palatable.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn't crowded at all. The bartender was friendly and answered all our questions about the drinks. I had the Yuzu Cute and my boyfriend had the Strawberry Blonde. Both drinks were dangerously delicious. They both had a nice fruity citrus taste.

Solid cocktails, great ambiance & music, pricey jerky - what's not to like? Definitely enjoy the drinks here more than around Aura Cinema (which are fine, don't get me wrong). Everyone was super friendly and plenty of seats on a Friday night 9pm-ish. Great bar in Dogpatch to catch up with a friend 1:1 or with a group :)

Such a hidden gem!!! We randomly walked in because we wanted to grab drinks before dinner. They offer what they call a rail shot which is a shot, a beer, and a sample of their jerky. For $13 you can't beat this deal!! The jerky was really good. The beer selection is small but features a lot of local breweries. Staff was really chill and friendly. Would definitely come back!!
