There use to be an 8.0 in Houston. Killer cheese burger & even better chili cheese fries in a trendy bar setting. If your talking the same place I can see why your pissed.

I think they have that on the menu at the Flying Saucer, actually. The Flying Saucer patrons fancy themselves as Beer Nerds, not snobs! If you want a more snobby clientele, go to the Meddlesome Moth. |

Wow...I guess I'm the only one of the flipside of the coin? I LOVE the Flying Saucer, and feel indifferently about 8.0.

Big +1 Flying Saucer blows, crowded yuppy place and the waitresses are terrible. I avoid the one on Beltline at all costs, and its only a few blocks from me, but screw it

Been there a few times with guys from work. Primos mexican food is great, and the Flying Saucer right next door, makes for a good night out.

I'm lucky that I have an Uncle Buck's in the Bass Pro near me––quick trip for great beer, yet absolutely terrible service. They go through servers there like it's nobody's business! Everytime I find one that doesn't suck, they end up quitting...oh well, the beer is always good. Then I get feisty and feel like running amok through Bass Pro and talking smack about how much the store hurts my soul. (Yet they still get my money for range fees, but that's a whole 'nother thread altoghether)

Flying Saucer (same ownership) is taking over their spot. This sucks...they're right across the street from my office...and Saucer is a cheesy beer only joint. We're going to have to walk a whole block further to get a real drink. Damn a whole block? Send Obama your resume and maybe he can find you a job that is closer.

I was there for the grand opening (?) tour the other weekend - didn't have time for the bus trip. The IPA was fantastic - it'll be in my kegerator after this (512) keg is done. I'm holding out hope for something like Three Floyd Gumballhead (wheat with some hop flavor) to come out of a DFW brewery, then I can run two locals in my fridge and keep everyone happy. For now, guests will have to deal with my love of IPAs. |

Can you further explain this logic please? |

I like going to 8.0 with the wife every now and then. We used to go there to see the Zac Brown band before they took off. It was a great place to watch a concert when the weather was nice outside.

its been at least 6 years since i've been to sundance square. I used to go pretty frequently, then I kept fucking running into an ex-girlfriend every. single. time. I went. Not to mention i moved to North dallas, and it just isn't worth it to drive out that way for an evening out.

We're going to have to walk a whole block further to get a real drink. The Flying Saucer down here in San Antonio isn't 'cheesy' at all. It's in a newer building and is really nice. To my knowledge, it's about the only joint around that carries 150 different brews. I'm going to withhold judgement on the new location in FW until it's completed. I never lost anything at 8.0....always struck me as a hangout for wannabe harley riders. Sorry for your inconvienience.

I'm a beer knurd. In particular, I like Texas bier night; any Texas beer they've got is $3 a pint. I haven't been to the Fort Worth one in some time, but the one in old San Antone isn't bad. The one that used to be on lower Greenville wasn't bad either. I got hooked up good with some of the waitresses there and drank for greatly reduced prices for some time too.
