They have two pool tables in the back for no drinking people like me and I love to play pool so much it is so perfect for me
Super fun bar, staff super friendly. We stayed to and watched the kentucky derby. Loved it
Sports bar. Way too loud. Music only got louder and it was standing room only. But everyone was civil! Security had the atmosphere feeling safe. I wouldn't recommend coming here just based on the music volume. My ears were LEGIT RINGING for a quarter hour after leaving this establishment. They did have clean bathrooms with a wonderful sporty theme & service was quick with the drinks. Maybe I'll try it again when it isn't a super crowded Friday night. Definitely a young (20s & 30s) energetic crowd of folks.
Bus Stop keeps the Cow Hollow bar spirit alive with a twist. It’s been around since 1900. New owners Joseph Wallace and Robert Lemons took over in 2021, ending four generations of family ownership by the Ferroni family. These days it’s still packed with the usual TVs for sports, pool table, wall-to-wall beer taps behind the bar, and free popcorn for late-night regulars. The bar is famous nationally for how much Fernet-Branca it sells, reportedly more bottles per year than any other bar in America.
