Shay Mcelroy's Irish Pub

Couldn't dance at the 80s place down a few blocks, so my husband and I wanted to just get drinks and head back to the hotel. Passed some clubs, but decided to come back here to the Irish Pub we passed. So glad we did! Music rockin, great bartender, chill old school masculine leather and dark wood vibe. On my second round right now, and I'm so glad we came in!

A true Irish pub in the middle of downtown Houston. I was introduced to Jameson Irish whiskey here 14 years ago! When I asked why everyone was drinking Jameson, the bartender responded; “Ai, you’ve never had a Jameson, lad? The first one is on me, the rest will be on you.” Thus began my love affair with Irish whiskey.

A couple of my friends and I made a trip to Houston to watch a Texas Rangers game. We stayed the weekend to experience the atmosphere and see how the Houston experience differed from the Dallas experience. Which is where we are from. We decided to do a pub crawl and we started off here at Shay. It was a pleasant experience and the bar tender Tiffany was amazing. We wound up leaving to go experience the nightlife. We came back to this place because this was the best experience, and Tiffany took such good care of us. I highly recommend this bar for your Houston experience.
