Ambiance: there was a dj and it was slow thursday night. But that didn't stop us from having a good time. There was probably less than 10 people and I like H town folks dont need a large crowd to have a great time. Service: We pretty much had the bars to our selves. They were there when we needed them. Drinks: It's a full bar, drinks, shots and beer. I wish they had some cider (my preference). This placed was tucked away from the city and plenty of lot parking and street parking.

We went to White Rhino for a friend's birthday party. The drinks were good but they were too expensive. $15 for an espresso martini was a bit steep in my opinion. There was one bartender who was not in any kind of hurry to finish our drinks and several times I waited over 10 minutes AFTER ordering with him to get the drinks. He wasn't taking a while because he was busy, he was literally moving physically slow, like he didn't care. It was honestly kind of frustrating. The bar itself is cute and the dining room and patio have a nice ambiance. The music was fitting (DJ and live music outside) and there was a great taco truck outside!

Apparently the second ward is a neighborhood I was told to avoid a while back. But with establishments like this one located there, I will ignore the warnings since this bar is that damn good with their outdoor seating, cozy interior, and delicious cocktails. Located off of Milby Street, you'll hear the vibey music and chatter amongst the patrons chilling outside as you pass this joint.Now for the drinks, they taste as good as they look. A favorite is the Hot Wheels; sweet and bitter from the apple juice mixed with the Mezcal and ango bitters drops, it appears like a hot wheels car just sped off of the print leaving the flame color in the glass with the ancho salt rim giving that extra kick in the taste buds. VROOM, POW, WAM!Other favorites include the Island Boy and This Side of Town cocktails for the vodka fans. Or you can keep it classic and get their mojito or ol fashion which are some of the beverages I saw being concocted. Also the bartenders are the WHPH (Work Hard, Play Hard) types of servers so you're in good hands with them at this place. Drink up!

First time here and I was immediately drawn to the spacious patio area where there was a food tent serving tacos. After placing our food order, I danced my way to the bar - there was a DJ. I ordered one of their specialized drink, La Sandia, and ordered a virgin mojito for my friend. We enjoyed our night eating, dancing and a couple of drinks. There are tv screens so I'm sure there are games on the board. The crowd was pretty chill and the staff was pleasant. I did have an issue with the bar and my tab but a manager was quick to resolve it. This place is good for groups. I will definitely be back to enjoy the tacos!

Always a good time when I come here. Good drinks. Friendly staff. Good music. They usually don't have food when I've come previously, but they had a food vendor outside in their patio. Hopefully they will continue that.The inside has a fair amount of seating, but outdoors a lot more. I wouldn't recommend coming until the sun goes down during summer, unless you can hang in the heat like that.

TL;DR: Excellent craft cocktails that support a good cause! Friendly bartenders! I love it when I discover places on Yelp and they live up to their rating. I was looking for a casual place to meet up with some friends for drinks and decided to try out White Rhino. We got there around 5pm on a Saturday and it was pretty empty, but eventually more people started showing up. The vibe was super chill and laid back which was perfect.The bar has indoor and outdoor seating. The interior is large with a good amount of seating for small and large groups. There are plenty of tables with umbrellas on the patio and they were spaced out. My friend and I were sitting at a table waiting on others to arrive, when a bartender came over to take our order. I actually don't think it's full service, but he was just being nice and it was really slow in the bar. He brought a menu to us and told us to take our time since we didn't know what we wanted. After our first round, we ordered the rest of our drinks at the bar. All of the staff was so friendly and personable! They were able to make mocktails for some in the group who don't drink. This is a great place for craft cocktails, but they also have wine and beer if you prefer. Drinks:La Sandia y El Pepino - A gin cocktail with watermelon, cucumber, and Tajin. This drink was refreshing! Frozen Cucumber Lime Slush - Has vodka. I added Chamoy and Tajin on the rim. I loved this drink so much!! I was planning on ordering a different drink, but then I saw the frozen drinks and had to try it. Other drinks that our group had:-The First Date - Mezcal cocktail with pineapple, cranberry, agave, cherry-vanilla bitters, Amaretto, agave. My friend loves Mezcal and enjoyed this drink.-Frozen Mangonada-Virgin Margarita-Mocktail (not sure if it was one of the cocktails on the menu, or if the bartender just made a random drink, but my friend enjoyed it)They do have a food truck on site. We had some French fries and the seasoning on them was really good! It came with some sort of Chipotle mayo sauce which was just okay. I ate the fries without the sauce. I didn't order the fries so I do not know what type of food they serve, but it's nice that they have the food truck option because the cocktails are strong. Besides serving delicious craft cocktails, White Rhino donates some of their proceeds to multiple organizations that focus on conservation efforts to help protect White Rhinos. They are kid friendly and I believe the patio is dog friendly too! A DJ was setting up as we were leaving. According to the site, they have DJs on Friday and Saturday nights. They have other events during the week and you can also reserve the space for a private event.I believe the parking situation is street parking only. I saw a few lots, but I think they were reserved for other businesses in the neighborhood so I wouldn't chance it. White Rhino is definitely going into my rotation of craft cocktail bars. Yelp FTW!

My favorite little neighborhood bar! Not only is this a sustainable bar, but they also donate a portion of their proceeds to saving white rhinos. They have their own designated parking, as well as a super nice gentleman who will stop traffic for you to cross the street after parking. They often have a food truck or stand available but in the off chance they don't the night you pop in you're more than welcome to order your own food to the bar. The bar service is always fantastic, everyone is super friendly, and the ingredients in each cocktail are always fresh. The music can vary as they welcome and support local DJs. Highly highly recommend you pop in for a casual night out.

White Rhino is a cool, environmentally conscious cocktail bar located on Milby Street, one of the most interesting streets in Second Ward. I have been there a couple of times, so have a good feel for what this place is really like. I would recommend this bar to anyone.There are earthy, verdant, unique touches to the decor: think beautiful hanging and potted plants, a white wooden exterior, wooden tables and the establishment's recurring muse: the nearly extinct white rhino. It is great to see numerous representations of the white rhino in the form of a metallic sculpture, a painting and plush rhinos on the inside, and a painted abstract geometric rhino and neon rhino outside. The last male white rhino, named Sudan, died in Kenya back in 2015, so the celebration of this species is both meaningful and clever. It would be nice to see a written tribute to the animal and a statement inspired by the bar's environmental philosophy somewhere in the bar, but the aesthetic championing of rhinos is wonderful.The first time I visited the White Rhino, I ordered a frozen margarita, and on the next visit, a strawberry frosé. Both were lovely. The music selection is always good here, and the vibe is right. This is definitely one of my new favorite hangout spots.
