    I came here for to visit some friends from Dallas. I had one fish bowl and two drinks. My card went missing after I gave it to the bartender. I told the bartender I gave her my card and she said she couldn’t find it and lost it. Come to find out she magically finds it after 30 mins on the phone with my bank to cancel the transactions. I check my bank statements today and I see I got charge over $100 on drinks THAT WERE NOT MINE. I called three times and no answer. If they would have tried to reason with me this would be a completely different story. I hope this review reaches to them and can get their attention.

    Decent bar, but I honestly feel bad for the fish here. They have very minimal fish tanks with no interactive features for their health. Plus the music is blasting & I can just feel like they’re just very unhappy in here ):

    Absolutely the best bar experience I've ever had. The staff were fantastic! All who worked there the night I went were very nice, present, uniform looking, and positive. Drinks were served fast and were great! Also, quick Shout out to the door guy, his name starts with an M but I can't remember it but he was very good looking! ;) Great bar, for sure will continue to recommend to everyone I know.

    Different than the rest of the bars in dirty 6th, The Aquarium stands classy. The great ambiance and a tipsy ride down the unique snake slide calls for a fantastic night!

    Was a great experience with my friends and I. Only complaint is that there was no gummy sharks in the fish bowls. Would have been 11/10 with them

    Terrible place, I watched the bouncer touch my friends private parts and then started beating him up in the back for accidentally dropping a glass.

    Loved the music when I came to visit. The waitress was helpful but many items were overpriced especially going to the bar. I wouldnt argue with the prices if the restaurant wasn't so small and dirty. The fish tank was not clean at all which really upset me as a person who has fishes as well. This place has potential, however it needs some serious work.

    Amazing bar! Love the new theme and the slide. What’s even better about this place is that it has some of the most friendly and cool bartenders on 6th st (shout to Josh and Dorian). Very fast service and really good drinks. If you want to have fun, this is the spot to be at. My friends and I love this bar, we’ve made some great memories at this place. Fun fun fun!

    Typical hangout for the barely legal. They charge Gratuity but don't tell you. It pays to pay attention

  • 5/5 Mark M. 1 year ago on Google
    We were there in the afternoon on Saturday of the Pecan St. festival, lured in by a great performer in the window. The two bartenders were out of this world, placing napkins down for our drinks, providing waters without being asked, entertaining us with tales of their young lives, and inquiring whether we needed drinks without being pushy,. The jokes they told were the best ever! They didn't even say No problem, even once!! We totally thought that this generation of service people was for the birds, but these two totally changed our minds. We left a $200 tip--would have left more could we afford it. I plan to drop off another $100 in two weeks

    Fun good Crowd, sometimes long queue to get in

  • 3/5 Maria 1 year ago on Google
    We stopped here for no longer than 10 minutes because it's not spacious at all. The bar is unique, however, especially since they have a snake slide. It's another bar on another stop along the street of more bars!

  • 5/5 Glenn M. 1 year ago on Google
    They have a snake slide between floors need I say more! Is young energetic sociable crowd that keeps a smile on your face.

  • 4/5 Paige E. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun bar, but be warned to not drink a whole fishbowl to yourself LOL. I’m not a lightweight but cheap vodka will always get me sick

  • 5/5 Sebastian V. 1 year ago on Google
    Heyo honestly the slide is pretty rad and even the small fishbowl is a decent size.

  • 3/5 Nils A. 6 months ago on Google
    Great place but why they’re fish dead 💀. Worst aquarium I’ve ever taken my kids. Will not return

  • 2/5 Liam M. 2 years ago on Google
    Very expensive (10 dollar shots), very crowded, mostly young people - many seem to be underaged

  • 3/5 Olga N. 3 years ago on Google
    It’s ok I thought it would be bigger! It’s located in a shopping plaza and is very small. I was done like in 15 minutes lol! Oh well.....

  • 5/5 Rachel A. 2 years ago on Google
    Really fun themed bar! It's 2 stories, they have real fish tanks, a slide that goes from the second floor to the first and they have a fun tropical cocktail menu which they serve in glass fish bowls with sweedish fish and some other shark shaped candy! The bartenders are also always really nice. The only bar of its kind on 6th Street!
