My partner and I wandered into this place while walking the dogs. We've now made it our regular spot. They are so kind with the dogs. It feels like they are hosting them as well! They bring them a dog bowl with ice water and a huge dog treat. I got to know Shannon today after seeing her several times, and I can't wait to spend so much more time there. It's a great spot off the beaten path of white oak and it may be my favorite my place to stop in from now on. Here's to many more random visits!

Would like to say I even got to try this place, but didn't get the chance before being completely turned off by it. This is a review of the kind of service you can expect if you come here. We stopped by after passing it on the trail for months. I had checked it out on Yelp and had seen the owner's rude responses to customers that didn't like his business; so despite wanting to support local businesses, I had been a bit hesitant to try it (there's really nothing more icky than someone who can't take criticism, especially on an app created for people to leave reviews). The place is always pretty dead which is usually our jam, but I wanted to take a look at their beer selection before committing. The guy at the front explained the concept (nothing new to anyone who's into beer/wine, which they sell by the ounce). They have what looked like a really nice selection of beer, cider, etc. and we definitely would have been back had the guy at the front not been so rude. It's very uncommon to see a Belgian Trippel in the states and I'm always on the look out since it's one of my favs. When I saw they had one, I was pretty excited but the tap was out and all it said was the beer type, not the brewery or country it was from. Out of curiosity I asked the guy which brewery it was from and he very rudely replied, "I don't know ma'am, we have over 60 taps." No offer to check, no "Hmm I'm not sure," just a straight up condescending dismissal. Just the way he said it, I was honestly very caught off guard. And it's not like he was slammed with customers because the place was, as usual, empty; guess that's one way to treat a potential customer. Not to mention it shows they know nothing about beer. I wouldn't expect the employees or owner to know every single beer on tap (they had several IPAs for instance), but I would expect someone who knows beer to take notice of such a hard to find beer. Needless to say, we won't be spending a cent here. Wonder if me providing an honest review of the service will lead to the owner threatening to sue me for defamation like he did another reviewer? Will post an update if that's the kind of response I get.

Spent a perfect Sunday here enjoying ciders and sours on the lawn with a deck of cards. The checkout process was easy and service was great. Couldn't have asked for better.

I'm glad we have an place like this in Houston. I love the concept of pouring your own brews on tap. It is like a brew buffet . The ambiance is welcoming and outside patio is spacious.

Absolutely awesome place to hang out in the Heights! The atmosphere is so like country within the city with an outdoor fire place and some of the best craft beers, ciders, and wines in Texas! Maximillio is an awesome guy and recommended some delicious ciders for me! Will def be back for more;-) They also had a food truck called the Nacho Wagon. It was amazing as well!

Pretty cool concept. Self-serve bar. Great outside seating. I'm not sure the pour rate is calibrated spot on, but they have a great selection. Beers, wines mead... be careful it can get expensive very quickly. Polite staff, good 80s music play most of the time. Located off studemeont and the mkt

This is a Self pour place, with a couple people working the tables and register. The service was great since I just grab a glass and scan their card and fill with whatever I want. Good selection, with a lot of wine to ciders. Seating is nice outside and in. Nice spot, just right for conversation and meeting friends. No loud music, no sports ball crud.

This space is amazing and one of the coolest concepts I’ve ever seen in Houston. I tried majority of the beers here and every one I tasted was skunky/not fresh, and lacking carbonation. This place would be packed wall to wall every day of the week if they had a better beer selection, cleaned their hoses properly, and ensured carbonation was maintained properly.
