    The premise behind this bar is amazing. Every month one organization chosen by the community receives all of the bar's profits. It normally comes out to $15-20,000 every month donated. Everytime you buy a drink or food item you get a ticket to vote for which organization you think should get the profits. The bartenders were super friendly and took the time to explain how everything worked there. The drinks were pretty strong, which could be a good thing. The location is really nice and they have a loft area to get away from the crowded bar.

    I love the history and concept of this bar. 100% proceeds go to a local charity of the month and that's something to drink for. Great snack list and incredibly friendly staff. The venue itself is built in an alley between two brick buildings, with a skylight and tall cathedral ceilings- its stunning.

    I wish I would’ve taken more pictures here. Not because it’s so adorable but the idea of a charity bar is so hot!!! I actually don’t visit often, not my favorite place for a drink but I’ll visit knowing my money is helping a good organization. The food is pretty tasty, thanks to the award winning chefs who own Okra. Drinks? OK, nothing to write home about but it’s in a good location downtown. Normally a pretty young crowd, not very diverse.

    With a very rustic feel and the perfect ambience, this is been one of my favorite places I've gone to in a long time. The food and drink selection is very good and the staff is very friendly. This place was a stable in my visit to Texas and I wish there were more places like it. I'm also a sucker for gas lanterns and videogames. They have both of those plus a pool table if you want to have a "guys night out." The provided pool cues need new tips as of the time of this review, but they're still functioning just fine and can make for a good game of Billiards.

    I seriously love this bar. Old, industrial feel with high ceilings and old time artifacts. You can’t go wrong with the feels in this bar. We weren’t even planning on coming here but when we saw it from the street we were stunned. One improvement could come from the on tap selection. Only 4 beer options.
