Absolutely love this place, and love bringing friends here. The beers they have on tap (and for sale) are always delicious. But what keeps me coming back, when there are plenty of places like this around the Houston area, is the food and the service. Can't go wrong with the fries, of course, and when I recently tried their Kimchi Brat, I honestly wished I'd ordered two. And every single server or bartender I've ever had has been incredibly attentive, kind, and engaging. From a customer perspective, it appears to me that management/ownership is doing everything right in how they run things and how they train the staff. I always make sure to tip well, and I hope other patrons do the same because this place truly deserves it. What a gem that I hope will be around for years to come.

Came on a trivia night. The concept is pretty legit with different taps and fridges dedicated to other types of beer/cider.Staff was nice. The food was great but it did seem like it took a little while to get the food.The beer was pretty great though. I'll try again for sure.

I’ve been going to Thistle since they opened. I was there today Feb 14, at 12:45 PM. I ordered a beer and a hamburger. 30 minutes later I still had not received my hamburger. The Barman advised the cook was by herself with no further explanation. I told him to cash me out since I had waited so long. He charged me the full tab including the hamburger I never received. I didn’t even get a thank you! Thistle, you’re going direct into the penalty box.

Hands down my favorite craft beer shop! One visit you'll be a local for life! Whoever makes the food has to be one of the most talented chef who has ever lived!
Very cool place. Garage doors open on both ends when the weather permits. Excellent selection of craft beer. 5/5 would recommend.

Current lunch specials are great. Wonderful burger and the fries are outstanding. Pasta salad was not quite what I was expecting. More of a salad with a few pieces of pasta on it, but still good. Menu pic is of their lunch menu only.Parking: Extra room behind building
I'm not a big beer drinker but they offered several suggestions and let me try them first. Food was surprisingly good. I was expecting "bar food" but the grilled cheese and tomato soup was very tasty. Soup had a good taste and texture.

Thistle is a terrific place to hang out, enjoy a very wide selection of draft beers and enjoy some very good pub food. It's a casual barn-like space, open to the outside when the weather is decent, and there's also an outside patio in back, along with more parking. They have a large projection TV for showing sports, etc as well. Service from the bar, but the crew is friendly and responsive. I've been numerous times both for business and casual meals and the food has been consistently excellent. The menu is not too large and is primarily pub fare - burgers, sandwiches, etc, but the food is amazingly good. It's certainly more expensive than a fast food burger, but in today's market $16-18 for a really good burger with fries is not out of line and the quality is superb. The list of sharables is pretty extensive and the brussel sprouts are wonderful - I could make a meal out of those. Last night my partner and I split a burger and an order of sprouts and it was plenty of food for two.

Nice place to have a happy hour. Especially if you get there for their happy hour specials. You can have great draft as cheap as five dollars (if I'm remembering well).

I’ve been coming to thistle for a while, and everyone there really knows what they’re talking about and doing! I really love all the employees and don’t even get me started on all the yummy food! You gotta check it
