It's a small spot, nothing fancy but it's a great place to chill. And the food is good and the service is great. And they have specials each night.
Came from California to hang out with my niece, she suggested this place and it was a great kind lounge place. The bartender Arias was spectacular her drinks were on point she suggested food and we took all of her suggestions under advisement. Unfortunately , the wings came out incorrect and the waiter acted as if her was real mad, he took the wings from our table as if we stole something. We Dianne got the correct order and the wings were smaller than we expected, they were good but baby wings definitely. Would I come here again, yes for the dranks, but not food... Arabia rocked!
The service is immaculate and the food never misses!! You can get exactly what you're looking for here in a local 'Cheers' style bar. They remember your face and your drink and do their best to make sure service is swift AND accurate.
This place was second choice but it should of Bern first! We went here unsure on a Thursday evening because they did not advertise Thursday evenings on line nor social media. They was very accommodating, suggestive, abd reasonable priced. We tried the wings and veggie pizza the food was nice and fresh and amazing! The service was out of this world. The building small inside. I had the red blend wine, I was not a fan so the second one I ordered the Bartender turned it into sangria it came out very good! My guess had a mocktail that they made to accommodate him, he loved it. I suppose because it was early it was one server and one Bartender. They did great! I will return we got full off of 12 total Honey Chipotle Wings and the Veggie Pizza our goal is to return but go to them first!
This perfectly sized bar is great for small gatherings and has a great vibe, delicious food, and the bartenders know what they're doing in real life! Shot out To my new favorite bartender BRITT!!!! She was so much fun, Knowledgeable and the Communication was on point. Even though she was busy she made eye contact and told everyone that she would be right with them. The chicken nachos and the wings were perfect. TV. 's on the patio for all of the games and everything. I went for a private party but definitely will be coming back!
I was between 4 and 5 stars solely because the service is so great... but the food was a little on the lacking side. You walk in, and the music automatically puts you in a groove. The bartenders are great and super creative. One of them is even a florist. The owner or manager is so attentive. The drinks are ok but I didn't really enjoy the hearty served meal. MY meat was a little dry, but my friends chimmichurri chicken was fabulous. On Fridays, they have live jazz on tye patio. Which is worth taking some time to experience. I absolutely felt comfortable and relaxed here. Will go back for live music and drinks not necessarily for the food.
Imagine "Cheers" but with great food. This spot has become one of our faves. We love steak night (Tuesdays), their brisket nachos, and their snapper. And, their sides... brussel sprouts, collard greens, and asparagus arr wonderful.
We came to cost for cigar weekend from Oakland, California. We stopped at The Community Bar. Hands DOWN THE ONWERS are nothing short of amazing. Justin, Justin, Justin. The food was AMAZING!! I feel like AMAZING is an understatement. The drinks AMAZING! Staff AMAZING!! The Community Bar has my heart. Every time I come to Houston I'm coming to Community Bar, hands down!! If you're looking for good food, good drinks this is the spot! HANDS DOWN!
We visited this bar after a concert at the HOB. It was late but I was surprised the kitchen was still open and serving food. I ordered the beef empanadas and they were fresh, hot and delicious! Sadly I didn't drink some cannot comment on them but my hubby said his were good. It was barbecue night and we ordered some ribs. I really wanted to try the rib tips but they were out. The ribs were tender and full of flavor; no sauce needed. The service was great, the waitress was attentive and we never had to hunt for her when we needed anything. I would definitely visit again!
We stopped by The Community Bar on a Tuesday for a late dinner and some drinks while we were looking for a spot in the area on Yelp. After Ubering over, we walked in and grabbed some seats. The Community Bar is a casual yet trendy bar. After ordering some cocktails, we were impressed with their food menu. A lot of appetizing options, including some Argentinian food, which was a nice surprise. I wasn't terribly hungry so I went with the Argentinian sausage appetizer which was appetizing but a pretty small portion. The group's food looked good too. The cocktail delivered and I did like their list of creative cocktails. We finished things off with some green tea shots. If you're looking for a casual bar with better food than your standard bar fare, definitely check out The Community Bar!
