I visited Bank Street Patio Bar on a Saturday evening. The entrance is so inviting, and the interior is definitely cool! There are several different patio spaces to enjoy your drink and company. There is a bar where small crowds were lingering just near the front entrance. Then, there is like an "alley" of tables that leads to the stage or live music area that features several tables with comfortable chairs and high-tops with stools. There is a neat, artsy, corrugated food wall/service area with a graffiti mural.
The service was excellent. Kyle was our upbeat, attentive server who was friendly and fun. And, the whole night was completely elevated because of the the live music being played by Houston Keen, who played some popular, well-known songs, and some impressive original music. His whole set was Fantastic! There is a cool area to sit beneath a big tree, surrounded by nice lighting. And, there is another bar area behind closed, glass walls, called The Vault. I had a great time sipping on a White Sangria, surrounded by happy people in a cool environment listening to a very talented musician sing some of my favorite songs!

On Saturday, we visited this establishment to celebrate my cousin’s birthday. Initially, our waiter was courteous, but his attentiveness waned. The beverages exhibited inconsistencies in color, taste, and appearance. Initially served in glass cups, they were later provided in plastic containers. The food arrived at varying intervals, resulting in some dishes being served cold while others were still hot. The macaroni and cheese was unappetizing, lacking flavor and being overly bland. The fries were similarly bland and soggy. The shrimp was satisfactory but unremarkable. The sweet potato fries were delectable, while the flatbread was adequate. We ordered a sandwich, but the waiter failed to inform us that it was accompanied by fries. When I requested a side of fries, he neglected to mention it. My steak bowl was ordered well-done, but it arrived raw. The food was subpar, and the drinks were of poor quality. Despite these shortcomings, the establishment boasts a pleasant atmosphere.

I love how pet friendly this place is! I use BringFido.com to find pet friendly establishments but lately they list anything with a patio where pets might be allowed. There is a difference between pets allowed and pet friendly. This place brings you a bowl of water right away and everyone treats my fur baby like a celebrity! I can’t disagree with the service comments but there are enough staff to flag down when you need something. I would like to see more rice-free menu options but it’s good enough to keep me coming back. The patio vibes are what it’s about, secluded from street noise, comfy seat and games. I will definitely check out brunch soon!

We absolutely loved our visit to Bank Street! The outdoor patio atmosphere is fantastic and has a great vibe. The menu is excellent with plenty of delicious scratch-made options—the Loaded Nachos were unbelievable, and the dessert was phenomenal. Service was top-notch, too. Highly recommend checking this spot out!

Dont waste time or money. We came in last week, a party of 5. We chose this place because it wasnt busy and had no wait. We sit down. And it was down hill from there. We ordered drinks with our server. 2 adult drinks. And 3 N/A drinks. The server comes back. Hands out the 3 normal drinks. Sets down the 2 adult drinks. In front of adults. And a 3rd adult drink in front of my 17 year old daughter. If it wasnt in a martini looking glass. I wouldnt of thought to ask what it was before she drank it. I asked him. " what is this " he says the name and goes to walk away. Im like "sir shes 17 and this isnt hers" he goes oops wrong table and walks away. After a 40 minute wait. Our food comes out. Things are missing things off every plate and overcooked is an understatement My fish was so dry and overcooked you could barely cut it let alone chew it. We ordered wings, they were still covered in feathers. And of course our server was no where to be found. When he finally came back. We paid the bill and left. What a disappointment and waste of $146. I reached out to the company via email before coming on here and havent heard back so figured I would come here to warn others about this establishment. This visit has put a sour taste in our mouth. It will be a long time before we come back.... if we ever do .
