    This place is very unique. They have an awesome fountain that leads to a koi pond full of koi fish. At the end of the pond there is a small machine with food where you can feed the koi fish. It is definitely dog friendly and love it. They are also kid friendly which is great. They have a good truck built there that the food is amazing. We had the tacos, nachos and footlong hot dog. The food was excellent. Our bartender was amazing her shots were yummy. We will definitely be going back. There is a lot of room to sit or walk around. The music is great. They had a live band and they played real good music. They have games you can play and a foosball table. The vibe is chill.

    Great place. Reasonable price and you can always look at the koi in the river.

    This beer garden has expanded quite successfully in the last few years. There is a small area at the front, which used to be the original bar, and a large area at the back. It looks like a Japanese wooden patio. Really pretty and with two additional bars. Interesting little water pond that runs along the patio and its filled with large Koi. Live music bands (good ones, not the run of the mill indie bands that have 1 or 2 fans...usually their relatives)perform on week-ends, and most of the time there is no cover. They also feature excellent specials on all sorts of drinks, from imported beers to fine spirits. Have to get there early though... There is a very trendy crowd in attendance, and security is good. Large parking lot that gets full when a good band is playing. If you want a good time in a safe place on the west side of town, this is the place to go.

    The place was great, drinks were good, music was not for me! I guess that they recently made changes to the music selection!

    What a fun place! From the moment we walked in the door we were very welcomed. The man that greeted us took us outside and showed us the koi fish and even offered to put the heaters on for us. The bartender was super friendly and attentive, even when we started moving around the bar and playing the games. The ambiance was super cool and chill. Definitely stop in and grab a pint!

    Atmosphere and staff were pretty good, but for $7 drinks they tasted like they had no alcohol in them. We eventually stopped drinking because we didn't want to spend $100 just to get a slight buzz on a just okay margarita.

    Cold beer, good atmosphere. The bartender asked my gf if that was her jacket on the chair (which it was) second time he said don't lose your jacket, then jacket was gone 15 minutes later, we asked him about the jacket and he looked extremely nervous. Can't prove anything but we all think he stole it. I was taking zip off my water before leaving and he literally yanked it out of my mouth and said you guys gotta go were closing. Very rude. It was the big black guy. Whatever wouldn't go back... don't take your nice jackets there.

    One of my favorite places in El Paso. The atmosphere is so chilled and relaxing. The Koi Fish Pond is very cool. They always have good bands and the service is great. The place has been renovated with more space. The seats are more comfortable. Their is now corn hole, fooseball and a couple of video games.

  • 5/5 Zach B. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect day drinking spot. Trees in middle of bar that go through roof and sweet koy fish river that wanders through bar. Super unique and chill.

  • 4/5 George M. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Rachel E. 10 months ago on Google
    My husband and I dropped in on a Friday night without too much expectation. Super fun, chill locals vibe with live music. Enjoyed sitting outside with our pup (who was given a treat box). Attentive and kind wait staff. Will return!

  • 5/5 Kaity D. 10 months ago on Google
    It’s a very fun environment! And we love that they do $3/pint Thursdays! Dogs are allowed from what I can tell. All seating is covered with half “inside” and half outside. Lots of TV’s playing sports. Full bar. Food is only through the food truck along the side though.

  • 4/5 Richard S. 10 months ago on Google
    I like the place. It has a hominess that's very relaxing. The pond on the floor is a great touch. And they often have music which is usually pretty good

  • 2/5 Robert D. 11 months ago on Google
    Went on a Thursday afternoon...all the draft beers were warm...their taps were not working and hadn't been for a couple of days....the bottle beers were warm as well...only good thing was our bartender was great and apologized for the lack of cold beverages....hope it gets better!@

  • 4/5 Jorge H. 8 months ago on Google
    Awesome Outdoor Patio.. Great Service and Popular bands that play there. Good Truck Good Food. Dancing area kinda small. There is a Trip Hazard when transitioning from the Main Deck to go dance on lower Patio. Maybe another wood step deck is needed. Several people have fallen and hurt their knees or Get a TWISTED ANKLE!! GREAT MANAGER CAN TAKE CARE OF THAT HAZARD. JORGIO

    The place looks really nice, amazing atmosphere super friendly. The food they had a truck there that took over an hour to get me an order of boneless wings and I know I wasn't the only one who they took forever on their order. Not to mention the food I would say was subpar. If you want to be waited on probably not the bar for you, if I wanted a drink I had to stand up and go and get it.

  • 4/5 Cynthia P. 6 months ago on Google
    Is not what you expect of a beer garden!!! Only domestic beers were available. Everything else was hard liquor!!! In the beginning, the waitresses did not even acknowledge that we were there and came with an attitude. Aceitunas, does not have a menu, food is provided by foodtrucks that are attached to the place. Food was delicious!!!!

  • 1/5 Nolan F. 4 months ago on Google
    I’ve had great experiences at this location. However, change in management: specifically a woman named Nancy—along with her posse of regulars followed me to my car demanding $11. I was simply looking for my phone. I found it and who else but the former and a gentleman by the name of Mike can’t seem to have 5 minutes of patience. Paid my tab. And lost some customers.

  • 5/5 DA Los A. 5 months ago on Google
    Beer garden. Old classic located on historic Doniphan. Great southwest food on the menu to keep you happy. I had the hatch chile hamburger. Yeah.

  • 5/5 Sarahi M. 5 months ago on Google
    I came here because someone recommended us the birria tacos from the taco truck and they have been the best I have ever had! On Fridays they have live music so that was also nice. Super cool and casual vibes.

    Love the layout and look closed in the winter can't wait to check it out after feb. 28 when its open

  • 2/5 Monica C. 4 years ago on Google
    I have mixed feeling about this place. On one hand, the atmosphere is great and it’s always a good time. On the other hand, I was there one night with a friend of mine that was obviously intoxicated and the cocktail waitress kept bringing him the same credit card receipt to sign (he’s a big tipper usually), trying to take advantage and make money off of his inebriated state I’m guessing. So I would never trust the establishment or their workers, but the place is nice.

  • 5/5 Petra F. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place to have a beer. Bartenders are super awesome.

    Cool atmosphere , koi fish, drinks, and good food. Come here to meet friends , hang out. Nice to chill . It's like a backyard with a bar and food brought to you. 5 stars. I'll be back again.

  • 5/5 louie m. 5 years ago on Google
    Great service and always fun! Awesome specials!

  • 3/5 Marta M. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice bar with nice music on the weekends. Closed a few months for the winter. YoIts an out door bar so there is smoking. There is a tiny enclosed bar too and this part is better for nonsmokers. You pretty much have to go to the bar for drinks. Food is served from a food truck.

  • 5/5 Jon M. 4 years ago on Google
    Christina and Alex and virginia are absolutely amazing. Can’t beat them

  • 4/5 Andy R. 4 years ago on Google
    The vibe is pretty good. The band that was playing was exceptionally talented, and the service was perfect. Maybe they can do something about the smell on the patio emanating from the coi pond?

  • 5/5 Greatwulf- 4 years ago on Google
    Really, it is the best patio bar in town. Its a good place for smokers and non-smokers. The food from Grub Street food and grill is always good. I recommend the green chili Philly fries or the dirty dog. They have a pretty nice coy stream timing through the place with a waterfall. There's a line band on the stage every Friday and Saturday, and the everyday specials are sweet.... Also cleanedc bar I've been to by far.

  • 5/5 Patti H. 4 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Cecie J. 4 years ago on Google
    The beer garden is really nice. The band was playing in a really small space. Not really room for dancing. Takes a while to get your drinks.

    Very cool bar with mostly outdoor seating. The staff is very friendly and the service is fast. They have water misters which help a lot when it is hot outside. And if you go during the week the drinks are super cheap.
