GRINGO THEORY PATIO BAR — Restaurant in El Paso

Traveling with dogs and finding dog friendly restaurants, etc. can be a challenge but not when visiting here! We're not from El Paso area so this was such a great experience for us and our girls- thank you for welcoming dogs of all sizes and breeds! We have 2 medium-large size dogs of a certain/mixed breed and we felt comfortable with our dogs being around others. The staff was very nice, greeted as soon as we walked in and our 2 dogs were given doggy cookies which they loved! Our server Sophie was very attentive and friendly even being outside in the chilly weather There was a pug adoption event this day so there was a good amount of dogs in the play area- all doggy parents took care of their own without any major incidents. The dog yard has water bowls for small dogs and a big 'kiddie' pool shaped as a bone and paw for the bigger dogs as well Overall definitely recommend this place for dog friendly experience, fun for adults (and kids in daytime) to play in the arcade area, good food and cold drinks! Will visit again and recommend to...

Don’t go to this bar if you expect to be respected. We came and before we ordered any drinks, my husband used the restroom. It was our first time going so he didn’t know you couldn’t lock the bathroom door (no signs?). Two employees barged in while he was washing his hands to tell him he had to leave (which he assumed meant to leave the restroom). We then walked to the bar to order drinks and I noticed the employee, a white blonde male, followed us and was watching us. He then started talking to a bartender behind the bar and was pointing at my husband so that’s when I asked the employee what he was saying. He told me that my husband needed to leave because he locked the bathroom door and that’s policy. I was so struck as to why he didn’t just tell us that rather than follow us and point his finger at my husband. So disrespectful! We left and are never going back - I’m just glad we didn’t spend any money there. If you expect customers to follow invisible policies, maybe post signs and...

I like the place but the service is trash. The drink cups they use are for kids but want to charge a regular drink amount... That's fine, I'll deal with it. I was having fun until I went to the bar inside and got charged for a diet Coke even though I wasn't before. The waitress said "she must have not charged you for the coke outside." No, shouldn't have since that should be included with the drink..it's called a Jack & Coke for a reason. But that's why I'm writing this review. It's a total ripoff when I was paying $8 the entire night then it changed to $14 because of "Coke." If anything, be consistent with the drinks and prices.

Let me not forget the bathrooms you can't dry your hands in since the dryer is broken or the floor is covered in urine. Overall the barbacks walking around were friendly but the ones behind the bar could use some work because I could care less how cute you think you are. Probably won't go...
