Spring’s bar scene isn’t just about drinks—it’s where craft cocktails meet kitchen magic. Whether you’re after a bourbon flight paired with smoked brisket sliders, a hidden speakeasy serving duck fat fries, or a rooftop margarita with queso that’ll make you weep, this 2026 guide has your next great night out.
Prohibition Texas
$$ | (832) 585-1438 | WEBSITE
Grilled salmon and a classic cocktail are a timeless pairing. But grilled salmon and a refreshing spritz can hold their own, too. Settle into the cozy dining room at Prohibition Texas and enjoy one of the best regular specials around: Steak Night Thursday, featuring a perfectly cooked steak with sides, for just $32. Every Thursday evening. Must-try menu items include the delicious grilled salmon and Brussels sprouts, as well as lighter options like the cucumber elderflower spritz.
If a full steak dinner feels like too much, the bar also offers a smooth Manhattan and Wing Wednesday deals.
The Farm Drinkery
$ | (832) 761-7589 | WEBSITE
The local brews and craft beers might get the spotlight at The Farm Drinkery, but the best things here come from the friendly competition. Settle into the cozy wooden tables and start with a crisp, hoppy IPA from a nearby brewery. It’s a refreshing, citrus-forward pint with a dry finish, poured by a bartender with quick wit. But if you do one thing, make time for a game of cornhole. Casual and engaging, it pits teams in lively matches with bean bags and boards, accompanied by laughter and cheers.
Each round is a fun, relaxed moment.
Atomic Daiquiris To Go Spring
$ | (281) 323-4074 | WEBSITE
A neon glow from the counter. Plastic cups stacked high and colorful syrups lining the shelves. Pop music is thumping. When daiquiri shops focus on convenience, the quality often suffers. That’s not the case at Atomic Daiquiris To Go Spring. The menu bounces through frozen delights, offering everything from smooth, strong daiquiris to awesome jello shots and the best gummies.
The $12 large daiquiri is a tour of their signature creations, including the Manhattan Project, which is strong and sweet, and the Atomic Bomb Daiquiri, a tangy, sweet, and dangerously smooth drink. Meanwhile, samples from the nice lady at the counter, like the Manhattan Project, help you discover your favorite, making you feel right at home in this fun and lively spot.
Puffabelly’s Restaurant
$ | (281) 350-3376 | WEBSITE
Tucked away in Old Town Spring, this Southern comfort spot feels like stepping into a cozy, old-timey kitchen, with checkered tablecloths and the warm glow of vintage lighting. Puffabelly’s lives up to its charm with consistently delicious dishes like the onion rings, a crispy, golden-brown appetizer that arrives piled high in a woven basket. The menu is like that favorite aunt who always serves seconds: generous, but in the best way.
The chef salad is just fresh enough to feel light, while the Southern comfort plates have a rich, hearty depth from slow-cooked flavors. The true standout is the portions, enough for two and served with a side of friendly banter from staff like Aleyah, Ronnie, and Evan, who offer great recommendations even if the service can feel a bit brisk at times.
Bleu oyster bar and seafood
$$ | (346) 808-5804 | WEBSITE
A visit to Bleu Oyster Bar and Seafood means pulling into the parking lot in Spring, heading past the main entrance, and settling into the outdoor patio area that’s become the real draw. Crisp fried okra and bacon-wrapped mussels start things off casual, but rather than just another family spot, you’re in for a seafood spread that highlights Gulf Coast flavors without breaking the bank—most mains run about $25–$35.
(There’s a kids’ menu that keeps the little ones happy, but we’d recommend going for the seafood classics.) You’ll get plates like the soft-shell crab, perfectly fried and served with a standout sauce, or the salmon paired with a loaded baked potato. The highlight of the meal is the crawfish, boiled fresh and piled high, with spices that remind you why this place stays packed.
The sun sets as you eat under string lights, and the first bite of that avocado volcano appetizer—broiled oysters topped with creamy avocado—is so satisfying it feels like a celebration.
Cross Track Icehouse
$ | (281) 907-0711 | WEBSITE
Cross Track Icehouse is where you want to go when you want to unwind with your friends and a cooler of your own. Yes, it’s in Old Town Spring, and a night out for two can easily stay under $50, but Houstonians happily make the drive, especially for the classic rock hits. Lively, familiar tunes from bands like Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath fill the air while you shoot pool and chat.
(The pool table comes with a wait on weekends, and rightfully so.) Grab a seat at the rustic wooden bar beneath neon signs and license plates. We like to pair our BYOB drinks with a game of pool or just soaking in the friendly atmosphere that makes this spot a hidden gem.
Topgolf Spring
$$ | (832) 200-0106 | WEBSITE
Spring, Texas, has plenty of entertainment spots, but the standout is Topgolf Spring, a high-energy venue that blends sports with dining, and a layout that gives each bay its own private vibe. The food here is better than you might expect from a place where golf takes center stage, and it’s a lesson in crowd-pleasing favorites: creamy and sharp (the queso), crunchy and savory (the loaded nachos). It even fits the mood—when you’re celebrating with friends, order a round of ice-cold beers.
Plus, there’s the service: staff like Travis and bayhost Key, who are attentive and caring, making every visit feel special.
Beach Bums Bar
$ | (281) 528-2127 | WEBSITE
Beach Bums Bar has been a Spring favorite for years. Locals gather around pool tables and shuffleboard lanes under neon beer signs and surfboards mounted on weathered wood walls—trophies from regulars who keep coming back. It’s lively, unpretentious and exactly where you want to be for a night out. Everyone’s here for the friendly, attentive service and the chance to play darts or even try the boxing game. That welcoming, fun-first atmosphere will have you relaxed.
You won’t find this combination anywhere else, and it’s the reason newcomers become regulars. Add the diverse music selection from pop to country and you have the perfect Texas hangout spot.
Franklin’s Tower
$ | (281) 982-3760 | WEBSITE
Tucked away with its own spacious parking lot and a food truck parked outside, Franklin’s Tower is a step above your average neighborhood bar. There’s live music on Saturdays and plenty of games like pool and Connect Four, so you can settle in for a night out with friends or just hang out and meet new people. And while drinks are the main draw, the free nachos from the food truck are what keep us coming back.
Our favorite is the BFF-E coffee drink: a smooth, caffeinated blend with just the right kick, perfect for sipping while you chat. For something with more bite, there’s the dirty Dr. Pepper, where cola gets a spirited twist that’s both refreshing and bold. Pair it with a round of table games under the entertaining decor and chill lighting. It’s an elite combo.
Certified Bar and Grill
$$ | (281) 719-0909 | WEBSITE
This spacious bar and grill offers one of the most welcoming atmospheres in town. It’s also a great place to grab a casual meal, and that’s important once the Reverse Happy Hour starts rolling. If you’re just snacking, there’s tasty wings with crispy housemade sauces, or the vegan menu, which combines fresh ingredients with creative, satisfying options. It’s perfect drinking food. When you want something more substantial, the Hennessy sidecar is rich with smooth cognac and citrus notes.
And the friendly bartenders and servers—consistently cheerful, attentive staff make every visit feel like a celebration—complement every bite and sip.
Mak’s Sports Bar + Grill.
$ | (832) 698-1611 | WEBSITE
Tucked into a bustling Spring strip mall near a big-box retailer and a car wash, Mak’s Sports Bar + Grill is the sports bar as it was meant to be: hearty food served with genuine team spirit. Grab a stool at the long, spacious bar or snag a high-top table to watch the game on the big screens, and start with the well-seasoned crawfish served in generous, shareable portions.
The menu stays reliably classic, and the proteins range from straightforward to standout, like the Steak: a juicy cut cooked to order, paired with your choice of sides for an additional charge. Other consistent offerings include potatoes and corn, and on a recent visit, sausage and mushrooms were given a savory, buttery treatment. Important: The DJ spins on certain nights, and the pool tables are always ready for a friendly game.
Community Fieldhouse
$ | (346) 340-4417 | WEBSITE
Community Fieldhouse is for when you want family-friendly meals reinforced with playful kids and hearty burgers. Like the atmosphere, the menu is a study in variety, with juicy brunch burgers, savory goat burgers, sweet peach pancakes, and tender chicken tacos. The restaurant is tucked behind a series of local spots, so keep your eyes peeled for the bustling patio and ‘crazy good’ in friendly staff recommendations next time you stroll through Spring.
Wunsche Bros. Cafe & Saloon
$$ | (281) 350-2233 | WEBSITE
Every evening at Wunsche Bros. Cafe & Saloon feels like stepping back into a family reunion, with the warm glow of vintage lanterns casting shadows across the historic wooden beams and worn brick walls. The menu covers all the hearty Texas classics, but the restaurant’s real stars are its signature comfort dishes. The chicken fried steak arrives golden and crisp, smothered in creamy peppered gravy that demands a side of those legendary fries for dipping.
And the black and blue burger—juicy, perfectly charred—is convincing enough to win over even the most skeptical burger traditionalist.
That One Bar
$ | (832) 562-3942 | WEBSITE
That One Bar is a Spring go-to for a lively, speakeasy atmosphere and inventive cocktails that draw crowds every Saturday night. Stepping inside feels like you’ve stumbled into someone’s dimly lit, cozy living room. Get in line. The basil-cucumber gin fizz is what you’ll be waiting up to 20 minutes for, and it’s worth it: crisp, refreshing, and expertly mixed by bartenders like Tori, each sip a totally different layer of flavor.
Seating is limited with only a few barstools and tables, but these cocktails are built for sipping while standing anyway. The wings are crispy and fresh, and small plates like chicken tenders and tater tots are well made, though at around $12-15 per plate, some might find the portions a bit modest for the price.
The modern decor and dive bar prices make it a great place to unwind, whether for a date night or a casual hangout with friends, where everyone seems to know each other and shares a laid-back, fun environment.
Bytes Arcade + Eatery
There’s a sense of pure fun at Bytes Arcade + Eatery that you don’t get at other family spots in Spring, and it’s filled with kids and parents laughing over baskets of truffle fries and plastic trays loaded with cheesy nachos. They make simple arcade fare that feels like the kind of food you grabbed as a kid on a Saturday afternoon—straightforward, but somehow impossible to replicate at home.
And it all tastes better in a cozy booth with the cheerful beeps and boops of arcade games in the background. You’ll smell the pizza before you see it: crispy crust topped with gooey cheese and savory pepperoni. It comes with a side of mozzarella sticks, golden and stretchy, perfect for dipping. And nothing beats the sliders at dinner, juicy and perfectly sized, no fancy sauces or even toppings required to enjoy.
Janie’s Bar
$ | (281) 350-1700 | WEBSITE
There’s nothing like a friendly bartender and an ice-cold beer in a classic sports bar setting, and at Janie’s you get that with plenty of games and a lot of neighborhood spirit. (But to be clear—this ain’t fancy.) The vibe is welcoming and the entertainment traditional, down to how the golden tee machines and darts are always ready for action, and everything is straightforward in the best way.
The regulars, with their easy camaraderie and local knowledge, are a Friday-night comfort—and friendly enough to make newcomers feel at home—while the TVs keep the energy up. And no visit should go without enjoying the smoke-friendly environment, free from the usual stale smell, and served with plenty of attentive service.
Island Dream Daiquiris
$ | (855) 864-6329 | WEBSITE
This unassuming Spring daiquiri bar puts all other local drink spots to shame. The roadside hut is cash-friendly and straight to the point, just a counter with friendly staff ready to help you choose from their many flavors. All the usual daiquiri bases are represented here, but you should get the strawberry. The blended ice soaks up all that fruity sweetness, chilling before you even get to the first refreshing sip.
These daiquiris don’t need the extra syrups to do the flavor heavy lifting and Island Dream Daiquiris knows that—a small splash of rum does the trick. (But we do love the extra-fun Jell-O shots.)
