Customer Reviews
Tony's Corner Pocket has a rating of 4.4 out of 5 based on over 300 reviews on Google
We were enjoying our time with our aunt ‘cause it was her birthday and apparently the Manager decided to shut us down. I tried to explain it was her birthday and he said the phrase: "I don’t care". I would never speak to one of my customers like that, even if I’m 100% sure I’m right. So his manners made us feel really unwelcome. The rest of the experience was fine.
A small, hole in the wall gay bar with tired old drag queens, a dozen or so Latin/Black go go dancers that pay no attention to you, and sleazy customers who grope the dancers. Other than the bartender outside who was fun and friendly, this place was D.O.A. Dancers were attractive but pre-occupied. Sad because I had lots of $ to tip them.
I walked into the bar and was immediately greeted by a warm, friendly atmosphere. The bartender was great, and I even got to meet Tony, the owner, who took the time to chat with me for several minutes and made me feel truly welcome. The drinks were perfectly made, and I’ll definitely be coming back!
The drinks here are cheap and pretty good. You meet new people here but it’s a hit or miss. The bartenders usually be friendly. Be warned about the dancers though because they are not a fan of black or any other different race other then Latino/hispanic. But other then that it’s pretty good
Every time I landed in Houston, this is my first stop. Gilbert is the best bartender ever. The staff is friendly. They have arcade games from back in the day. They really make you feel at home. Tony and his team are so much fun The bar does have an amazing outside area. Come check them out. Drinks are cheap.
Great for groups. Awesome view of downtown with a community feel. Tony's patios rock! The view is divine. Everyone welcomed me and kept the good vibes flowing. An amazing family good folks with big hearts.
Gotta love Tony’s Corner Pocket. Sometimes I wonder where the bartenders are. Their bodies are there, but often times don’t see the customer with it with a 20 at the bar waving it frantically. The atmosphere is great. The people are fun and the view of downtown is amazing.
