EinStein's Pub - Katy, Texas

The ambiance is always a vibe! I love the fact that they have multiple arcade games, darts and a pool table. There is a DJ at around 9PM that plays good music. You can smoke inside so if you’re not a smoker, this might not be the place for you. Food was 3/5, kinda underwhelming. Appetizers are good though so I will stick to those. For the area, this is my favorite bar, so I would recommend giving it a shot if you’ve never been before 🙂

Great vibes here and entertainment.

The food is your typical bar food.

The drinks are good with a great price.

The vibes are where it's at. If you're looking for fun chill time where you can just be yourself. This is the spot. They have pool tables, arcade games, virtual beer pong, etc.

The service is also great. Very attentive and quick. Karaoke was also a great time on Thursdays.

Not as nice as the other location. Its definitely a dive. However, the drinks are competitively priced and they have a great selection of pinball machines. Servers are nice. I'll have to try some food next time.

Bars and pubs are not too difficult to find, but sometimes, you might want something extra: a bar that offers more than just a stopping place for food, drinks, and sports viewing. If you like the idea of a bar that offers a little more elbow room and more than the usual features, then you might consider Einstein’s Pub, a mainstay of the Katy nightlife scene.

Einstein’s Pub is larger than the average pub, with space inside to hold more than 100 people. You don’t realize how large it truly is until you walk inside. This pub has a full bar, a good number of beers on tap, and good, basic bar food munchies like burgers, chicken strip, tacos, cheese sticks, and other options. The food and drink are all reasonably priced with even better drink deals during happy hour, making this a good choice when funds are limited.

You can watch sports at Einstein’s Pub, but the real attraction at this pub is its games. You can shoot pool, play darts, partake in numerous electronic games, and play pinball. Pinball is probably the standout, with about fifteen or so different machines. This might be the largest pinball selection in the entire Katy area.

Einstein’s Pub has special deals and is known for its steak night, pint night, and very good happy hour deals. Because it is located in a strip mall, there is no issue with parking, as there is abundant space. One restriction that you need to keep in mind is that Einstein’s Pub is limited only to those age 21 and up. This is an establishment for adults only, and unless I’m mistaken, I believe this rule holds true during all hours of operation.

One of Einstein’s Pub’s other claims to fame is that it is one of the very few establishments that once allowed indoor smoking. As far as I know, they have eliminated or plan to eliminate indoor smoking, but I noticed that the smell of smoke still lingers in the air. If you want to smoke, you should step outside. They have outdoor seating, so it should be fine.

Pubs are known for their drinks, televised sports, and usually food. But Einstein’s Pub offers more. It’s one of the best places in Katy for games, and a great choice if you love playing several rounds of pinball on different machines. It’s a nice part of the Katy nightlife scene, and a place I recommend.

A literal ash tray. Smells, cleanliness, and the type of people you'd expect. Come here if you want a shitty bar experience. Definitely don't come here for pinball. The majority of the games are either turned off, have something broken with them, or just trashed in general.

Save your time, money, and health and go to Eureka or somewhere else where they actually care.

Great place for pinball. The only problem is the smoke smell. They should sit out some fabreez in the pinball area.

Best bar in Katy period. Been going here for 20 years. The staff is always great, I wish they would still have bands occasionally, my only complaint is the DJ now can be a little loud. But it's so big and has so many kinda nooks and places to hang to get away from the loudness if you want. Bartenders are always super friendly and fast.

Can't get enough of this place. Cheap beer, awesome selection of pinball, good burgers, and nice staff. What more do you need? I drive across town once a week to this place because it is worth the drive. And whoever maintains the pinball machines does a fantastic job.
I only wish it was closer to my house. 5 stars for Einstein's Pub!
