Top spot for drinks and socializing before and after an Astros game.

ambiance
100.0% positive
  1. If you want fine dining the bus is the wrong place to be, but if you want to hang out with fun ASTROS fans and drink a couple beers and don't mind a crowded place before heading to the game then you will love the bus.
drinks
80.0% positive
  1. recommend the bar on the other side of the stadium, they have better drink specials and a better set up to enjoy the game.
  2. thats just like any other bar.
  3. If you want fine dining the bus is the wrong place to be, but if you want to hang out with fun ASTROS fans and drink a couple beers and don't mind a crowded place before heading to the game then you will love the bus.
  4. Im not shocked about the ratings on this place, but its a bar.
  5. As for the door guys I would hate to be them, one night I witness a Caucasian man curse out the doorman for not letting him in with his child, why would you want your child in a crowded bar full of drunks.
overall
83.33000183105469% positive
  1. The staff is nice and the service is great but if you don't like a crowded place then you probably won't like it.
  2. The BUS is a good place to hang but beware.
service
58.33000183105469% positive
  1. This establlishment is a gem and I would hate for it to fall apart because of poor management and even worse employees.
  2. Bad and rude service.
  3. SUCH A SHAME TO HAVE A GREAT LOCATION FOR POOR customer service
  4. Just check it out because if you hang out at the bus as much as i do you will know that most of the reviews are bs, the staff is great and they are what keeps all the regulars coming back!
  5. The bartenders act like they are doing some great service to you if they just galance your way.
  6. The staff is nice and the service is great but if you don't like a crowded place then you probably won't like it.

Great Cowboys Watch Party Bar

by mickey s

WOW the reviews are nothing like the place i just experienced this past Monday and the few other times before. The staff was nice and friendly and the door men didn't seem racist to me since i am Hispanic myself. There were tons of Dallas Cowboys fans there so if your a Cowboys fan this is the place to watch the game!! It seems to me as long as you don't have tattoos on your face and neck then this is a great place to hang out because 90% of the complaints refer to that. I will definitely be back.

Awesome Bar With A Great Crowd!!!!!!

by bicround_2000

This is the best place to hang before an Astros game...And even a better place to pick-up chicks after a game:)

I also like that the staff is good and keeping the scumbags out of this bar. Great place for a white guy to have a beer.....Also love all of the Cowboy memorabilia!!!!!

Judgemental and Rude!

by JennaFly

I am just curious what these close minded jerks at the door think is so dangerous about a tattoo on someone's neck. News flash - a tattoo doesn't make anyone more or less likely to start a bar fight, serving alcohol all night to rowdy sports fans and getting them wasted so you can earn a buck is what causes bar fights. Take a look at yourself before you start judging others.

Go next door to Home Plate Bar and Grill. They are cheaper and don't discriminate.

close-minded staff/ forget this place

by eyecandi

Don't bother with this place. If you are close-minded (hate gays, tattoos, and hispanic or blacks) you will fit in well at this place.

They are nice about it either. Oh and to the guy at the door...I'd like to take you to get your first tattoo. It will say 'RACIST' on your forehead. I think that's fair enough.

  • Pros: none
  • Cons: discriminating against tattooed & hispanics

B.U.S

by albosits

Wouldn't know about the food, because YOUR pathetic attempt at door control could not see beyond my friends unoffensive TATTOO-who is one of the most -patient -calm- giving of his time for others-laidback-patrons - and was not allowed in before an Astros game this week. Good thing the Gen Manager Tim at Vic and Anthonys didn't have a problem and they are much more upscale and have much more class than this place.

  • Cons: discriminated against/give it a miss
