Best Bar – River Oaks: The Railyard

Located at the intersection of River Oaks, just before the streets meander into the Galleria area is a freshening spot called The Railyard. Situated right next to, you guessed it, a train rail, the watering hole is an ideal spot to grab a drink after work to let traffic die down … or better yet, in the evening when the sun goes down and the breeze takes over.

The bar checks off all the right boxes to keep the crowd entertained. Throwback games like skee-ball and pinball dot the area while televisions play all the games to keep the crowd cheering at the L-shaped bar.

What’s even better is the mixed use of space. The bar opens up to a large patio, and when the weather is just right, it makes for an irresistible place to pass the night away with a gentle breeze drifting throughout the watering hole.

Unlike the trains that pass on by without halting, make The Railyard a regular stop to grab a cold one and enjoy the little things in life.
