"A Beer near the University If you're looking for a really relaxed local bar, head to The Ginger Man on Morningside. This beer bar has been here for a really long time, and is a good place to find real Houstonians, especially Rice professors and students."

"The Ginger Man, Rice University West U. There’s just nothing like an old pub, especially one tucked under the leafy arms of a charming, tree-lined street. This particular Ginger Man is the original of the beloved Texas chain, a deliciously divey watering hole with dozens of beers on draft and rows of long-planked wood tables on its cozy patio. Hit the jukebox, toss some darts and explore a pint of something new in this quintessential beer-lover’s bliss."

"It looks like The Ginger Man has plans for a Houston expansion. Swamplot reports that the popular bar chain, which operates its first Houston location in Rice Village, is set to arrive at 160 West Gray in Midtown. The Ginger Man is expected to open its second location in the next month or so, but no official date for its debut has been announced." - Amy McCarthy

Neat little place. Kinda dark, and the bathrooms are cramped and have some weird steps in them. But, it has a certain charm to it. Excellent beer selection and knowledgeable staff. Decent wine selection, too, but this is definstely a beer place. They have board games, and TVs for sports. But, I wouldn't recommend this place if anyone in your party has mobility issues. Those bathroom look very difficult to navigate.

Staff is very knowledgable and prices are great! They will even give you a taste of something you want to try, without having to buy a full pint, as well as offering half pints. Large draft selection, and bottles too. Great atmosphere. Definitely going back!

Stripped down, intimate pub experience. Solid beer selection though prices are not the cheapest. Outdoor seating is spacious but indoor seating can be cramped. Street parking can be an issue, though there is a parking garage with free 2-hr parking just across the street. Walking distance to food and shopping.

Great ambience with wide selection of international and domestic brews. Great seasonal selection with awesome and knowledgeable staff. Good pricing and specials. Great outdoor and back patio areas. Very nice cask beer offerings as well. Highly recommend.

With 75 plus beers on tap and a great bottled beer selection you won't need another place. Not only do they have a huge selection on draft but they have great quality selection of excellent bottled craft brews, a phenomenal quality selection. They have a simple food menu of sandwiches, flatbreads and pretzels. The atmosphere is truly awesome, very welcoming, inviting and gives you that warm cozy feeling. A place you wish you had a few steps from your home.

Love this place. They have an amazing selection of beers. They have a really nice back patio and the staff on the patio are always great. The inside has great character, but can be a bit claustrophobic, dark, and noisy. I've found that the bar staff is sometimes less helpful/friendly than the wait staff, so grab a table on the patio and relax! They have decent sandwiches and a couple other bar snacks to.
