Komodo Pub Houston Reviews
amazing atmosphere! feels like someones house and the bartenders make it feel like home :)
The environment is great! Best Street Tacos definitely lives up to their name, they are amazing. The staff is so welcoming, and provide such great service. The bar has such a phenomenal vibe. Hands down one of my favorite bars.
Their Wednesday specials are off the chain. $.25 cent tacos and $2.50 sandwiches. The bar tenders are hit or miss. A couple are cool.
Pretty cool place my neighbor and I hung out for the Arctic Blast and hung out in the snow. Place was actually open to say the least, lol and very chill vibes. I experimented with first time mixed drinks, shots and the bartender did his thing. Great job explaining what he mixed up for us..So now I can order again Yummy !!!
SJ was great bartender friendly yet and professional, lived hear here during law school dor 3 years at Houston, love this pub.
This is a very chill spot for drinks with a small outdoor patio. Inside is cozy, with a cheers like vibe. Drinks are cheap. No food served inside but it is next to a columbian food truck. TouchTunes. Usually can find 1-2 chess games being played (boards are stored with the bar tenders and are behind the bar). Parking can be hard to find on weekends
Decent drinks. Outside seating area not so bad. Charles is pretty cool. Nice happy hour spot while you're waiting for traffic to die down after work. And of course, before you head out, visit the food truck right outside and fill the belly.
This is a great bar in the midtown area. The beer is cold and the drinks are strong. One of my favorite stops for sure when I'm in the area. The bartenders are always on point. Good specials during happy hour as well. The food truck outside also has some amazing food. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The juk box also has a great selection of music. Patio outside has plenty of chairs and shade to enjoy a nice Sunday Funday. Keep doing your thing guys!
I visited on a Thursday and was disappointed by the bartender’s attitude. I was in the middle of ordering two drinks when she interrupted me to check an ID. I stopped to show it to her, but when she returned, she condescendingly told me, 'You could have asked for them at the same time.' It was frustrating to be talked down to for a delay she caused while I was trying to be cooperative. I’ve been to the other bars associated with this group (Dino’s Den, and Lizard’s pub) and have always had great service, so this interaction was a major outlier.
Small and cozy bar. Love it
Pretty nice environment if you’re looking for some place that’s got more vibes than quality.
This is a really cool little spot. A house converted into a sweet hangout. Diverse crowd and busy tacos truck next door. Drinks are good but the jello shots are a hit!
I used to go here all the time back when I was in my late twenty's and I loved it. Well, I went for the first time a few weeks ago in over a decade and the woman that was working behind the bar didn't just let me know how much she hated being there, but I feel like she purposefully gave me jager without the red bull and walked away. I stood there for 15 min waiting for her to come back. She was behind the bar serving other people, but I didn't touch my drinks, tried to get her attention when I saw her glance at me, and even motioned for her to close me out. She wouldn't come back. I ended up giving the shot to a friend, drank less then half my beer, and had my friend that's a regular close my tab. I honestly feel like I wasn't a priority because she didn't know me. I still tipped 30% but seriously!! The only reason that I'm writing this review is because I was missing a splash of red bull, and y'all know what? She charged me for it.
Though this place had a nice laid back, great patio and fire place to hang out for the heat turns out, the bartender there thought it be great to take advantage of people drinking and not noticing the next day. Ordered two beers and tipped 25% bartender though they could make that 50%. Funny thing is they ask you to sign a receipt and I also always take pictures, so excuses such as not being able to read won’t make sense. I will post a picture of the receipt as well.can’t remember her name but it was a lady bartender, should be on the receipt I posted.
Got very racist nasty vibes from both bartenders while telling us their policy. Didn’t appreciate the disgusting attitude they could’ve simply told us and we would’ve respected it no need to be disgusting about it. Will not be back
The food is decent but the staff are rude, off-putting, and don't respect the community. There are much better options nearby.
I went to Komodo’s as I am new to Houston and the night I went must’ve just been somebody’s bad day. I work in the service industry and personally always tip no matter how small the bill, that night my friends and I were called out by the bartender. He asked us “what you’re not gonna tip? of course” when he had just poured our shots a whole minute prior. Won’t be coming back as it was such a negative and unfriendly environment.
Bartender (heavy set woman) at 1:00AM on 3/14/25 was rude and had terrible customer service. This kind of interaction makes it hard to come back. Think twice. Other reviews reflect badly on her as well. Why have no changes been made in reflection of these reviews?
I've been going here for years and this place has always been a great neighborhood bar, however, the big girl at the bar has ruined so many evenings I just can't go back anymore. I encourage people to try this place, but if you see the big lady, turn around and find another great nearby bar. Otherwise, enjoy this great local spot without the snearing and snarling that this very unhappy person has brought to Kimodos.
