Editorial Review for Ginger Man – by Joshua Hinsdale
In Short
The highlight of this Rice University tavern is the hundreds of beers in bottle and on tap, including many seasonal selections. The menu is divided by type of beer and country of origin. Beer can be ordered by the half pint, pint, 23-ounce glass or 60-ounce pitcher. The dark wood homey interior provides an ideal backdrop for close conversation or rousing parties. Aside from beer, the menu offers light snacks, wine, cider and coffee.

it was not in Rice Village...why? Well, you have to get there early to get a seat because if you don't the place is so small that being bounced from one side of the bar to the other is really annoying. Okay for the good stuff...good selection of beers, good service, quaint (when it is quiet), good first place date bar.
Pros: Good vibe
Cons: Bouncing from wall to wall when busy and sucking in my fat tummy for those pushing by

The place has an entire wall of draft beers! However, I have had a few skunked varieties, so make sure it's fresh before taking a beer away from the bar. This is a great place to hang out with friends for drinks after dinner. There is a really laid-back atmosphere that is condusive to long hours of chatting and drinking.
Pros: An entire wall of draft beers!
Cons: Sometimes you get a skunked or stale keg, so check for freshness!
