Underdogs Pub — Restaurant in Houston

I went to this bar to check it out. My husband and I were bar hopping on Washington Ave. We were trying new things out and left our comfort zone. I liked this bar simply for the dogs. I am a cat person but I like doggies too so it was cool that they were allowed to roam around. I asked for a specialty drink that they had on the specialty drink menu. First off, the bartender had no idea what I was talking about and asked to see the menu. Then he said they were out of the specific liquor they needed for that drink. Okay, let's just order another drink right, cool. Someone else in my group ordered another drink on the menu and again the bartender didn't know what they were talking about. Ummm why bother even having a drink menu in the first place if you are not going to learn it? By that point I was irritated but still wanted to drink and would have stuck around if it not had been for what I found in the restroom.

There were 2 stalls in the women's restroom and both were occupied by more than one person in each stall, including a guy in one of them. In each stall there was a girl throwing up and their friends helping them. I have been there done that. What pissed me off was that there were 2 different girls in 2 different parties completely wasted. Wasted to the point of vomiting. Girl #1 was so intoxicated that she was not able to function on her own. She had to have 2 people help her in the stall. Girl #2 walked out with her friends help and they left. Girl #1 had to be carried out, literally by the arms and legs, by two friends. All while the staff just looked on. Not hey should we call her a cab or hey should we see if she is alright. Her "friends" even carry her to their outside table but no staff member goes out to tell them that maybe they should take her home. One of her "friends" comes in a few minutes later asking for a trash bag. Still no one tells them to leave. I wonder what TABC would have said to find someone so obliterated there and no staff member there to care enough. At that point I was done. I used to get upset when people wanted to blame the bars for over serving and someone getting behind the wheel and causing an accident. Maybe it was because the bars I frequent will cut you off without a doubt if they feel you've had to much. But these people didn't care at all. I guess I'll stay off Washington Ave. with their over priced drinks and overly...

I like a lot of things about this bar. I like that I can walk to it from home. I like the beer selection. I like the whiskey selection. I like the owners. I like the dogs. I like the vibe.

What I don’t like, and what has honestly cut down on the time I spend here, is the bathrooms.

They’re gross.

Obviously the bar is owned by dudes. Dudes who are used to dude-level cleanliness in bathrooms. Dude-level, for those wondering, is disgusting. Ask any dude, or any women who has lived with a dude. They’ll tell you.

3 years ago, the bathrooms were just fine. Your usual bar bathroom. But I’m pretty certain they haven’t had a “deep” clean in all that time. Maybe a cursory wipe down once in awhile. Maybe.

All this to say, for the love of all that is holy, clean - and I mean really clean - the womens’ bathrooms once in awhile. Or hire a service if you don’t know how. I want to come here more often! I want to have that extra beer or two! I want to pet the dogs! I want to spend my money here!!! I do. I really do!

Just please... clean the...

Underdog's is an aptly named bar tucked away and hidden behind a Mexican food truck. Bring a dog or a date, or your mom and relax, knowing that anything you get from their tap list will be top notch. Cheap drinks made from science infusions are also available. You won't come here to be seen. You come here to watch wrestling on a TV by yourself...or with friends. It's got plenty of space, a comfortable patio and variety of games. Most things go here.

They might get popular some day, but until then, enjoy the space and know that the staff here kind of like being the new kid on the block. They'll keep playing Nirvana and pouring great beers if you...
