Editorial Review for Pub Fiction – by Andrea Loera

In Short
The folks behind the former Bar Houston add their upscale neighborhood pub to Midtown nightlife. Catch the latest sports action on more than 28 TVs in the contemporary lounge area or head to the adjacent room for a traditional pub atmosphere complete with a pool table. The kitchen is open daily from 4pm to 10pm for sandwiches, salads and burgers plus an assortment of pub-style appetizers. Live music and a 1,000-square-foot patio round out the offerings.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

DoorBoy: You're wearing baggy Jeans he said! It was not a baggy at all, in fact I just came out of the red door with that so called baggy. So he must be saying that shorts and flip-flop are allowed by caucasian standing right there smoking a cig. But not me. Anyway, that's the TEXAS spirit. Racial profiling is still on the menu!

I love Pub Fiction (minus the shoe policy)! I always stop there when I am out and about in the Midtown area. There is usually an 80's cover band playing. It is a larger place with a sports bar in the back. The tv's play old episodes of Miami Vice. There are a lot of tables and couch-like booths to sit in. The patio has a nice ambience to hang out (smoker friendly). The drinks are moderately priced. There are specials on the weekdays and early hours. The food is typical bar food, neither good or bad. The crowd is a 20's to young 30's. It is a hot spot for after work. Regarding the Dress Code: Do not plan on wearing tennis shoes or work boots on a weekend after 9 pm. I have been with people on several occasions that get turned away. Even a nice Puma can't walk through the door. Even on 4th of July, when the place was dead, they tried turning away a high profile friend wearing what appeared to be work boots. He ended up getting in but the entire situation was ridiculous. I partly respect a shoe policy, however they allow flip flops on a hot summer night, but not a dark athletic style shoe. I understand that the door people get a power trip when they turn people away, but seriously...they employees wear black shirts with their names iron on crookedly.

Pros: Ambience

Cons: Shoe Policy
