    Great experience. A friend got sick after being in the bar 15 minutes. Completely sober at 10:15 pm on a Saturday. While waiting for our ride she threw up next to the door inside the entryway and passed out twice while sitting on a bench. A normal human would have asked if she was okay or offered water. The security guard repeatedly and aggressively asked when our uber was arriving. We asked for the manager in front of a man who did not identify himself. The security guard sneered, pointed off and told us the man he was just talking to was the owner - we asked for the manager, not the owner - therefore he did not talk to us. Another employee approached us, did not identify himself and asked what the problem was. My sick friend told him we were waiting for our ride and cussed in the explanation and complaint of the security guard's behavior . The employee responded by saying he was getting the cops. Two officers came and said if we felt the guard was aggressive and we felt unsafe we needed to leave the property. We moved to the steps next to the street where my friend momentary passed out again after the walk. The officers stood between us and the doorway offering no support. The entire ordeal took under 5 minutes. I am very disappointed in the lack of compassion from every staff member that we encountered. Our friend was not drunk. She was sick in their establishment and was treated horribly. Had management asked if she was okay, and even offered a chair to sit in outside of the building it would be have been appreciated. Had management approached us AT ALL it would have been appreciated. Had ANY staff member asked if she was okay it would have been appreciated. This was a horrible experience that could have easily been handled more professionally.

    Such a cool bar concept just try not to get your drink spiked here. Management does not help during medical situations. I hope they get sued out of business.

    Nice place for a drink. Hard to find Parking at times. Good thing have valet parking where the guy charged me $20 and later found out that they had charged others $10. When leaving my friends confronted the valet driver and he volunteered to give me back half my money.

    Large outside space: Cornhole, group seating and swing seating. Perfect for small or large groups. Excellent drinks. Paid parking next door, free parking out front on a week night.

    Nice typical sports bar. Very different vibe from the downtown location. Not as cool looking as that one but still nice. Valet parking was $20. They have free parking next to it but can get full. Drinks are ok priced but honestly I think every bar has overpriced drinks. Didn't really like the vibe so I won't come again but that's just my opinion. Still a nice place to have some drinks at.

    I asked the bartender for an old fashioned (which is on their menu). The bartender told me they were too busy. I said that I would tip an extra $5. In response, he still said no. How can you refuse to make drinks that are on your menu just because you don’t want to? I don’t recommend McIntyre’s. Just another sub-par bar.

  • 5/5 Its Chuy 713 (Lil C. 1 year ago on Google
    Went there last night despite only staying for close to 2 hours, If I knew there was free parking I could of park there & if you want to get a free parking spot, get there (on the weekday) closest to 8-9 pm window especially on a Friday night otherwise there is self parking & valet parking. Staff was really nice & cool from bartenders to even the folks who check out the I.D. I dig the environment from the outside to even the bar plus the food truck that is normally on site. I am not someone who goes to a ton of bars but its worth checking out

    Cool place. Cold beer. I have been here a couple times now to meet with friends and service has been great. Great place to meet after work or for a happy hour. Lots of screens to watch sports. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Ample parking is available in the big lot next door. Will definitely be going back.

    Nice place to watch the game and to have a few drinks but unless you’re into the frat boy scene not the best spot. Staff was great at checking to see if you needed another drink.

    Melissa is the nicest bartender I’ve ever met at places like this. She went above and beyond as did the door guys to accommodate my handicapped guests. I highly recommend this venue for the friendly staff.

    I went there today for my first time, my birthday too 😁, drinks are good and the place is amazing, a lil slow but it's "Thursday" night. Can't wait to go back 😊. Not five stars because I need to check it out on the weekends and when the food trucks are around 😉.

    Fun bar! The staff was very nice. Lots of things- games to do with a group of people.

  • 4/5 Emily P. 6 months ago on Google
    23+ instead of 21+, which is nice, creates a different crowd. Lots of tvs with all the games. Causal. Gets busy, but doesn't take too long to get a drink. 4 stars because parking isn't great

  • 5/5 Marla R. 11 months ago on Google
    Although I go to McIntyre's for a real estate networking event, it is a fun place to go, hang out, and play some corn roll. They have a nice bar, and the appetizer-like food is good.

  • 5/5 Vanessa G. 8 months ago on Google
    AWESOME TIME!!! I didn't experience the food, but the atmosphere, people, and drink (coke) was good. I look forward to coming back soon.

  • 1/5 Paige G. 4 months ago on Google
    I’d give 9/10 for the bar but 1/10 for our waitress Megan 😭 I tipped her 25% and she could barely answer one question and could care less whether we were happy or not

  • 3/5 Carrie B. 11 months ago on Google
    Great place and cool patio space. Unfortunately, the food truck served overpriced food with a negative attitude. The nacho cheese dip was mostly watered down and his attitude to me asking if I could have sliced jalapenos was: "I'll see what I can do."He proceeded to put them into the smallest to-go cups with the smallest amount of peppers. Absolutely unprofessional.

  • 3/5 Aimee V. 1 year ago on Google
    Very busy, a little bit too much to my liking, but that's a personal preference. Did seem to be a popular place to hang out. Bartenders were fast and friendly enough. Good place to grab a drink if you're not turned off by a crowd.

  • 5/5 Randy W. 1 year ago on Google
    Steak night is awesome. Cute place for drinks after work. Steaks were a little bit over but flavor was great. Chips and cheese were flavorful.

  • 4/5 Cassandra P. 1 year ago on Google
    It's always a good time at McIntyre's. Never empty, drinks are easy to order. Just watch out for the high guy to girl ratio.

  • 5/5 Andrew W. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is awesome! Swings, televisions everywhere, beautiful women on staff, a great outdoor area, games, music... It's just a really nice place to go have fun and good drinks.

  • 5/5 Sydney E. 1 year ago on Google
    McIntyre's is by far my favorite bar to go to in the heights! With a million tvs this is the go-to spot to watch any and all sports games. They have a great patio with tons of seating, swings and food truck if you get hungry. It's also dog friendly. The bartenders here are always so nice and their cocktail selection is top-notch, be sure to try the Always Sunny in Houston and frozen Irish coffee!

    Love the Vibe. The crowd was diverse, friendly and fun. Drinks and music was good and the service was top notch for me. I will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 Matt N. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent indoor/outdoor setup. They have a huge projection screen outside, and cornhole games. The inside bar has lots of big screen TVs. The permanent food truck has absolutely delicious Tortas. I recommend the Guajillo OG with AL pastor. Good service from the bar staff too.

  • 5/5 Angela L. 1 year ago on Google
    We just moved to the area and we are so excited to have found Mcintyres sports bar. We enjoy the indoor/outdoor pet friendly atmosphere. Special thank you to Barber who not only accommodate our NY baseball game (when the Astros were on) but also tracked us down when we walked away without our sunglasses. Looking forward to coming back!
