The Railyard

Great neighborhood place for after work....it's becoming a regular occurrence for me lol

Great bar in the galleria area. Excellent management and nice strong drinks . Be sure to try the old fashioned: my wife loved the Ash Cat and Eagle Rare!! Can't wait to go back!!'

This is definitely not a dive bar it's a relaxed casual bar with reasonably priced drinks and some fun arcade games.

There's nothing like discovering a dive bar within walking (or crawling) distance from where you're staying! Uniquely juxtapositioned between the mansions of River Oaks, and the luxury high rises of Galleria, The Railyard meets dive bar criteria. It is located on the windowless end of a squat, nondescript strip mall, underneath high-voltage power lines, and right next to the main line of the Union Pacific Railroad. Having said that, I felt very welcome as a first-timer, even though I was somewhat older than the crowd that seemed to be there. There are several arcade games, and a bare bones patio area for the smokers. They have a very good selection of beers and spirits available at reasonable prices. I especially liked the "Touch Tunes " jukebox which allows you to play songs from your smartphone. The bartenders were excellent, with a shout-out to Brittany for making us feel so welcome! They have great specials, including "in the industry" nights Sunday thru Wednesday after 10. As I was there on a Wednesday after 10, I can tell you I met a plethora of "crazy characters" during my visit, and it all lent itself to a party-like atmosphere. I made one return visit there during my stay in Houston. Overall, I was quite satisfied with The Railyard!

I absolutely loved this place and wish I would have come in sooner. Leaving River Oaks to hit 610 right over the rail tracks sits this small bar, if not for the clever sign I probably would have missed this. The bartender Stephanie was so sweet, hilarious and super friendly. My friend and myself were the only 2 female patrons for awhile and she remarked she was glad to see us and made a point to chat with us. Decent selection on tap and Stephanie readily offered up samples without being asked- nice touch! Large patio especially considering the size of inside. A few arcade games, big clean bathrooms and ample bar space made for a great visit.

Cool dive bar! Honestly was only there for one drink on a Sunday evening so probably didn't get the full experience, but I'd go back. The bartender was super nice and conversational, he left a good impression of the place. Love that they have games like skee ball and the basketball shooting game (you know the one, not sure if it's official title). Good place overall!

Nice comfortable environment. Our bartender was very friendly and skilled. Definitely recommend

Cool vibe, decent drinks, outdoor area. Cool local bar for galleria area and has parking

Came by for one beer. Service was fast and great! They have a lot of TVs and fun games. I'll come back with more friends.

Honestly you should just IGNORE those Angry Karen reviews!! If you are genuinely interested in visiting The Railyard and what it offers then welcome to the local community! Located in one of the most expensive areas of Houston, this bar offers an escape for those accustomed to a more modest lifestyle. As always props to Renee she is the best!!
