Durty Nelly's is really much of a place to "eat" as it is a great place to "drink" and have a good time. Durty Nelly's is a pub which has a live piano player who sings Irish and contemporary songs which keeps the crowd pleasantly entertained. Durty Nelly's reminded us of a place we visited in Key West which also had great "sing a long" entertainment. |

The place gets pretty busy as the night goes on. Peanuts are served for free and it is customary to throw the shells on the ground. When the waiters would "clear" a table, they really do clear it. Everything goes on the floor. We spent two nights here because we enjoyed it so much. (A little secret is that this place is really owned by the Hilton next door) |

We had dinner at Dick's and we were not impressed. The "concept" behind Dick's is that the waiters are supposed to be rude to you. That was fine and dandy, but we thought the food wasn't that great and way overpriced. |

We had lunch at the Buckhorn Saloon. This is a touristy little museum place. They have a "walk up" food window along with a nice big cowboy like bar. The food was just OK, but it was pretty cheap. We never did make it into the museum. |

We had lunch at Casa Rio on the river. Casa Rio is the largest and oldest restaurant on the Riverwalk. The food was decent. Nothing special, but sitting by the river, sipping a margarita couldn't be beat. |

The Esquire falls into the "good place to drink not eat" category. They are pretty much a bar. But The Esquire is the oldest bar in Texas and it also has the longest bar. And it is long...... It sits directly across the river from the Drury Inn. We loved sitting out on the balcony and people watching. The beer was cold and dirt cheap at only $2 a pint. |
