Cockpit Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Houston

Love the dive bar vibes, prices are okay. Didn’t exactly care for the judgment from the bartender on my chaser of choice, (coke with grenadine) I’m sure it could have been considered a joke but was more rude than anything. “Oh man good choice, sugar on top of more sugar!” Followed by rolling his eyes. Idk I didn’t think about it too much, but felt like it was worth mentioning. Sorry I like a cherry coke bro 😅✌️. The pool tables are good ($1.25 a game) sticks are warped as per usual for a dive bar, AC was either off or broken, mind you it’s the middle of summer and my car reads the outside temp at 97 so I didn’t stay long. At the end of everything I feel like if the lights were fully on the bar would be really gross looking, is obvious whoever owns this bar has zero interest in having it survive they should just sell...

The time is around 5:20pm ish. I walked in not a soul inside besides the bartender. The atmosphere is more rock n roll vibe so if that's your vibe that will help win you over. I try to order food but was told that they are not serving food at all which is a big bummer. There is a 10 doller minimum if using credit or debit (so be warned). I started with a water which was about $2.50 and ordered a tequila sunrise which was about 9. My total bill with tab closed was $11.50. The drink was not flavorful. Tasted like ingredients where cut back. Overall I rate the experience...

Not bad. The drinks were good, bartender was friendly. I wasnt going to go at first because of the rif-raf in the parking lot. But I came back after 10-15 minutes and they were gone. Went out right at sunset and the outside lights kicked on in the parking lot. Yep its a little old and dated, but places that have been around for a while get that way. If you want a cosmo (though they can make them) this probably isn't the place. If you want a cold beer and a good cocktail, then this would be the place. Couldnt rate food because I went to jack...
