Thistle Draftshop

Thistle is a terrific place to hang out, enjoy a very wide selection of draft beers and enjoy some very good pub food. It's a casual barn-like space, open to the outside when the weather is decent, and there's also an outside patio in back, along with more parking. They have a large projection TV for showing sports, etc as well. Service from the bar, but the crew is friendly and responsive. I've been numerous times both for business and casual meals and the food has been consistently excellent. The menu is not too large and is primarily pub fare - burgers, sandwiches, etc, but the food is amazingly good. It's certainly more expensive than a fast food burger, but in today's market $16-18 for a really good burger with fries is not out of line and the quality is superb. The list of sharables is pretty extensive and the brussel sprouts are wonderful - I could make a meal out of those. Last night my partner and I split a burger and an order of sprouts and it was plenty of food for two.

A great experience! The staff, food, and whole experience were amazing! The bartender was very friendly, made great recommendations, and overall, we had a great chat with him. The rose cider I ordered was the perfect mix of rose flavor with the crispness of cider. The thai burger I ordered with the truffle fries and o my goodness what the burger one of the best things I have ever had. Sweet, salty, spicy and tangy, all the things you look forward to but between buns. The truffle fried where also very delicious but after starting our meals we realized quickly it was a lot of food! Looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu!

I've been to thistle a few times now and always had a good experience. The vibe is nice, service is good. The food is good too but a bit expensive. I paid $18 for the fancy ass truffle fries ($15 + tip), which is crazy. They were good but for bar food that price is a little much. I could get a full meal for that price and then some.Me and my friends went for trivia (on Tuesday's) and it was ok. Lots of teams playing and the bar was pretty noisy - hard to hear the trivia announcer. We probably wouldn't go back for trivia. Overall, thistle is usually pretty good but a bit expensive, loud, and busy. Just not really my vibe haha

My wife and I had lunch here today and it was superb. First thing is that this place is exactly as advertised. It's a draft house. 100s of beers and ciders on draft and in bottles. But their food option in their menu (which includes breakfast!?!?) are impressive. Even more impressive is how good everything there is. We had "Stranger Wings" for an appetizer which is a three wing recipe blend. As the waiter said, it's kind of weird but it really works. They did! My wife had their Thai Burger (see menu photo for description) that was cooked perfectly and had a side of really good crispy fries. I had the BFC Sandwich which is best spicy chicken sandwich in Houston, bar none. Two chicken breasts, very crispy and spicy AND moist chicken. Not dried out like most places end up serving. Portions on burgers and BFC were large. WeTook half of our sandwiches home. 2920 and Gosling Road is where you'll find this place and it's a definite try and keep going back place.

best draft house and food and service of all time!! the foooooooood omg! you haven't lived unless u have eaten their truffle fries #yummy

Overall, a pretty decent spot for the area to get lunch. Definitely on the pricier side for what the food really is. The truffle fries app is $14 and the pork belly taco (2) are around the same. Friendly service, plenty of seating - at bar or at a table. Pork belly tacos had a lot of unique flavor throughout and maybe could've been a bit less crunchy but still a good choice. The aioli of course makes the fries, as per usual. But the truffle and parm amount was a solid ratio to fries. A lot of interchanging draft beers as well.

This is a draft shop but the Thai Burger was one of the top 3 burgers I have had in my entire life. If they make to move to being a Burger joint with milkshakes and the whole nine yards then I think this place would be easily one of the best burger joints in the Houston area.

Highly recommend for craft beer fans! They receive new beers every week! I ordered the bbq wings and they were crispy and well sauced! Both beers were tremendous and they allow a sample or two before you make your mind up!

We had brunch this past Sunday. The food was excellent and so was the service. I had the fries with pork belly and my partner had the chicken over biscuits. I'm not much of a fried breast person because they're usually dry or fried too hard, but not these! They were juicy and flavorful with just the right amount of seasoned batter. Scrumptious! We both had raspberry lemonade and it was so refreshing! I can't wait to return!

Thistle is a really fun spot for hanging out with friends and enjoying drinks/food while watching a game. They have multiple large screens for watching football as well as a large patio area. There is also a lounge space and circle bar. The food options are diverse for a draft shop. We got the wings and pasta salad - both were great! The most impressive items on the menu are, of course, their draft selection and take home beverage wall. This consists of an entire wall of fridges filled with beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase to take home. They have monthly activities - like burlesque or trivia - flyers posted throughout the space. Parking fills up but there are additional spots behind the building. Great spot if you're looking to try new beverages and have a fun evening!
