Cecil's Pub — Restaurant in Houston

RUDE!! I saw where this place supposedly has a pretty good "Steak Night" on Mondays, I called to confirm and to see what time it began, so after the man who answered told me I headed over. I arrived about twenty mins after it began and walked thru the patio and into the main bar. This was a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to watch the baseball game on the TV. I sat down at a small table by the bar and looked around. Pretty cool looking place it has that 'dive bar' appeal and I mean that in a positive way. The bar itself seats maybe 20? It was about half full and no one besides myself were at the tables yet. The waitress leaves the bar and looks me dead in the eye and keeps walking out the the patio, no biggie I'm sure the two tables of customers out there are hers as well. She comes back in, jets past me to the bar, hangs out there a bit then grabs a couple of beers and heads past me again to the patio. Again no big deal, but it would be nice if she would have acknowledged me. She walks past me again, no nothing, and goes back to the bad and begins chatting it up with some of the patrons. I have been sitting there now almost 15 mins...for the fifth time she passes me and out to the patio. I wait and wait so now 20 mins into this rude bar experience I decide to leave...as I walk thru the patio to my vehicle the waitress is sitting on her butt just having a conversation with the steak cook as he blew on his vape. SMH, I...

Bill Owns? Cares dearly about Cecil's Pub (Tavern? Receipt says Tavern, sign says Pub) (drunk me apologizes dearly for puzzle, must make protein and lipid rich meal to sober) and already amiable acquaintance. Tip minimum 33% for me for exceptional service & hosting pool tourney. Had conversation during tending regardless of Thursday being surprisingly busy. Great people to meet.

Hole in the wall place. Receipt says 600 W. Gray, leave pretentions at the door (before that even when, not if, Bill is there) and just talk. With people. Actual, normal people. Enjoy  yourself. I admitted to playing just 4 games of pool before the tourney and was welcomed. I realize that I have gone on a rant. Great place for beer and popular? Traditional? Standard? Normal cocktails. To add to the beer. I will be coming back. Regularly.

Also, bottle of premium quality liquor without paying for brand? ~40$. Getting "liquored up" while with friends AND paying for tab of the guy that beat you in pool? "$35.18". I don't know why I put that in quotes. Guess citing directly? Great place, comin g back .

Edit: I don't know why I made this edit. Just drunk.

Edit during edit: Food places nearby, get early into night in case of closing hours. Can bring into bar.

BE POLITE & PEOPLE WON'T MIND

I've found drink prices reasonable, have had special nights in past, tends to get crowded a bit. Usual group of people I've seen for years present. It's just nice and chill, the patio seating allows you to kind of get away and smoke as well. They do a great job coming through, grabbing glasses off tables. Pinks will deliver here as well, so even though there's not a food selection, pizza is nearby and often the tamale lady comes through on week nights. Bathrooms have been hit or miss over the years, but it's a plumbing thing, and now, with the snazzy new homes going in behind it, the city has assumed some responsibility. Don't use parking lot if your...
