I was there March 16th. With two fellow coworkers from over sea. The are eruopean. 10 females entered the establishment. I offered to buy them beers. If they inky say they where Baylor university. After buying the females beer. I was told. I was cut off for being to intoxicated. My euro friends told the statement. I was not intoxicated and he would pay for the rounds. We where then told we where not welcome and asked to leave .I am a very easy going person. So at that point I had to ask my commands to leave. The translations takes a min. Because they do not speak English. I tried to explain to rude owners or managers than it takes a min. To translate but we're heading towards the door . When a rude. Owner or manager grabbed my arm to escort me . I snatched my arm away and instructed him to. Do not ever touch my person. This is and assault. On my body and self imagine in public. I did inform him if he needs to call the local authorities. I'm ok with that. But DO NOT EVER TOUCH ME. Then several people gather around and grabbed me ..I will be asking owners of this establishment to re view the videos of March 16th 2024. If they do not feel I or my comrades was miss treaded. I will file a civil lawsuit against persons involvle and the manager as well as anyone who Owns the property . Or investors.. if you don't like foreign people in your establishment. Post it on your outside .. I am a full blooded. 100% American. My family came here in 1700. If you don't like foreign people. Check you record. Where is the people that own this place from. Give me a apology written here. And buy half waht I spent in your place and I won't sue you. You have 7 business daysMarch 16th. 2024

The staff and friends of staff were all great fun! We definitely made some new friends here. The beer was fantastic and they have quite the selection of nice wines—they even have a wine club! Some nights they have food trucks to feed the masses, but we missed those on a Sun night. Lots of fun. We’ll be back.

I very much enjoy coming here. It's a cozy little pub, and at least early in the evening, it's not too crowded. Plus dogs are allowed in, and honestly I'd probably be content just petting them all

The dancing bear is a great local spot. I spent many an evening drinking a beer on a study break out back sitting at the big table. Lots of fond memories from college at this place. Hope to visit again soon.

Low key neighborhood beer bar. Met up with some friends. Lots of dogs inside. We went on pint night and got a free glass.

We had our Marine Corp League Thanksgiving dinner there. They were very accommodating for us. The worst thing was the limited parking.
