The Ginger Man

"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
