    ALOHA from da Bigpake; one of my favorite bars in the area. Had the best bartender Kristina who was so much fun and energetic. She only works happy hour so make sure you go early. They have a great dog park in the back area along with Cornhole game and bar swings. They have special food truck nights.

    Professional and polite staff, very clean, plenty of fun games and things to do. My favorite place to go for a drink or a light bite to eat and enjoy watching my poochies play in a safe and fun environment.

    This is a little piece of Rainy St. in El Paso. If there was an "Austin Concept" with a little Chicano flair this is it. A friendly and attentive staff and a selection of arcade games, pinball, and consoles at several tables makes this a fun little spot for drinks and fun. This local watering hole boasts beautiful landscaping from a long history of being a spot that locals have congregated for nights of fun with friends. The exterior only adds to the charm of this fun little bar featuring a dance floor, full service food truck, exaggerated versions of bar games, like basketball beer pong, and a full on slide. It's an amazing spot that really gets how to do "fun" in an exciting and fresh way.

    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 back though. 😊

    This bar allows you to bring well behaved dogs with you while you have a drink 🍸 children are welcome before 7 pm. There are games and a slide for the kids and a play area for your pets. Truly a unique and fun experience!

    This place was awesome!! And the food truck out back was great!! And pricing is good!! The fact that it caters to man's best friend and provide a gated area for big doogies and small doogies. They even provide water bowls for your companion!! And all the different patio activities made it entertaining!! And there's more walk in to the bar you got pool tables, video games, basketball/hoop games, and the dart board. Great music and friendly staff!!

    A year ago I would have definitely recommended gringo theory. Now? AVOID this place like a plague! One Corona beer=$15.75?? All of the games need a game card now, no more quarters accepted. Closed on Sundays *the church protesting against them won*. Your be the only one there with exception to a few older couples. They should just close down permanently! $15.75 for ONE beer? Literal highway robbery lol!

    Awhile ago I went to @gringotheory915 for the first time and had a blast in the bark park! I even got some treats that were AMAZING! I will definitely be coming back to this super cool place 🐾🎉-@brewskibrewreviews

    My wife and I came through Christmas night. Excellent service! Friendly, welcoming, and engaging. Diana made it a great night, and potentially new Christmas tradition for us. Looking forward to returning to try the food truck fare.

    Fun place, it has lots of games to play and a small arcade, great drinks too

  • 3/5 mora74k 2 years ago on Google
    Fun bar very good with service before 11... after the younger crowd comes on the service goes from a 5 start to a 3 star. Very clean bar. I don't recommend for older crowd, because the younger crowd does not have respect for space.

    The go-to spot. Bring the dog along. The backyard atmosphere is why we keep going back.

  • 4/5 Brandon B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place. Drinks are slightly below average in price. Quality is great. Environment is contagious. Due to popularity, hard to get an order. At least during weekends.

  • 5/5 Chris F. 2 years ago on Google
    Oh my god what an amazing place! The staff were amazing! When they say dog friendly they mean it. We were greeted by Kimberly as we entered and she had a treat for my dog Velo. Massive points scored before even taking our drink order. From there another lovely lady (sorry I don’t remember her name🤦‍♂️) brought Velo a water bowl. A gentleman name Dre brought Velo a Christmas gift of assorted treats. I can go on and on about the staff. The icing on the cake was they have a dog park in the facility!!!!!!! Velo got to run an play the whole evening. Massive thank you to Dre, Kimberly, and the entire staff for making us feel so welcome (and calling an Uber for us ) ! We had an amazing time and can’t wait to come back again. To anyone reading this…if you are ever in El Paso with your doggies…this is the place to go.

  • 5/5 Erika V. 2 years ago on Google
    So fun! Just wished they had the outside heaters outside but I understand why they didn’t since only one couple was outside at a time! All the games and service so great!

  • 4/5 Vee 2 years ago on Google
    We enjoyed our time there. It's different. It's a really good place to chill & have a drink. They have a few games, like a big connect 4, big jenga, huge beer pong set up, sets of cornholes & a pretty patio.

  • 5/5 Kawh 1 year ago on Google
    Vibrant night life, cheap drinks, built-in food truck, giant size beer pong, a dog park, arcade games, beautiful landscaping with fountains, friendly attentive staff, and a giant themed slide, what's not like?!

  • 5/5 Frank R. 1 year ago on Google
    Atmosphere is really chill and nice, the music is a good mix of new and old music, this place has a little for everyone, from arcade games to pool tables and Jenga in the patio, you can even bring your dog. The food truck puts out some delicious bites. Prices are very low and the staff are very nice and attentive.

  • 5/5 Martin L. 1 year ago on Google
    By far the best bar in El Paso and with an amazing staff. Had a work event there, Frankie, Genesis and Katherine took very good care of us. Definitely recommend your next event or party there! Thank you!

  • 5/5 R M. 6 months ago on Google
    Gets crowded on a weekend nightd, has a lot of out-of-towners at this one. Which isn't bad but a more of a different vibe then if just full of El Pasoans. It's nice, goers seem kind of like strangers here until you start making conversation, then they are very nice!!!! So if you like meeting me ppl from different states, come to this one. Oh, they also have a good truck !

  • 5/5 Priscilla M. 4 years ago on Google
    Good spot to watch the Dallas games. They have drink specials, and door prizes. We had fun.

    Amazing, felt like I was in Florida, on beach so much to do from dog park, to games and ouside water pad was beautiful with spots to sit.

  • 4/5 Kimberly H. 3 years ago on Google
    Good drinks, bartenders are hit and miss with the service. Outside patio is nice to enjoy a drink with friends or play a few rounds of corn hole. Music is a good mix and the crowd is a mix of 21-40 yr olds.

    I love this place! The karaoke on Monday nights is a blast. My buddy Nathan and Stay Tuned Productions will make sure you have a good time

  • 5/5 Pedro C. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing place to bring your dogs. The day i came they were celebrating a puppys birthday. Variety of drinks, now water down. Also great bar games. They have trash can pong, basketball conect 4 and many more. Not to mention the "El Pelon lunch box" after a few drinks, some food comes in great. Their tacos are the bomb, if you go here, please give it a try the food truck.

  • 5/5 Carlos G. 4 years ago on Google
    I love this bar!! Great atmosphere and awesome people. Dave makes you feel welcomed and safe. Nancy and the other bartenders are always happy and courteous, continuously check in with customers. Best bar in El Paso and only place I feel safe to have a good time.

    Awesome games, dog friendly and can meet new people. Bartender and staff always change up the price tho.

  • 3/5 Carlos C. 4 years ago on Google
    Betenders are kinda slow. Also they seem to prefer certain customers over others. Waited in the bar patiently while customers who seemed regular would come up scream at the bar tender wave their card in the air and somehow they got to skip me several times. I also can get rowdy and aggressive and competitive, but I’m paying for the drink so I do thinks the bar tenders would be more attentive. Other than that it was a pretty ok night. Bar looks great. Lots of activities. Kinda pricy! 2 bud lights and a Malibu cranberry was like 15$

    (Translated by Google) It is nice just that it is a very busy place and it has only one individual bathroom inside and another double outside which makes the wait very long, the service is a little slow but it still has a very good atmosphere (Original) Es agradable solo que es un lugar muy concurrido y cuenta con solo un baño infividual adentro y otro doble afuera lo que hace la espera muy larga, el servicio es unpoco lento pero aun asi tiene muy buen ambiente

    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 friends/family.
