Texpats Happy Hour at The Gem Saloon (formerly Rodeo Bar)

​This one’s for Rodeo Bar, the old haunt where we held court for so many good years and great nights with loud stories and just enough Texas in the middle of Manhattan.

​The Gem Saloon now sits in that same space, but the spirit lingers. The room has had a refresh, but it still feels like it knows what came before: a place for big groups, easy laughs, and happy hour that runs a little longer than we planned.

​One reviewer called it “authentically western,” which feels about as good as it gets here in Manhattan.

​Another reviewer wouldn't shut up about the cozy, "Southern-bar vibe," and honestly, that’s a pretty fair read if your standards include big spaces, rowdy behavior, and a place that knows how to keep your glass full.

​It’s not Dallas. It’s not Austin. But it does give “we found a decent spot and survived the winter.”

​Come for the happy hour, stay for the saloon energy, and let the city try its best to keep up.

​Let's pour one out for Rodeo Bar and raise a glass to the next round at Gem Saloon.

​Same corner, new outfit.
