A spring day in Texas begs for a refreshing drink on a patio with big sunglasses. My friend and I had a free afternoon and decided to find an early happy hour – State and Allen was our choice. We chose it because they have an amazing selection of food, an extended happy hour, and a great patio. The early happy hour allowed us to escape just before the suits hit the watering hole after work.
We immediately ordered vodka lemonades which we sadly had to add Splenda and
lemons to; the vodka, however, was generously poured. Our waitress brought us drink after drink and plate of food after plate of food (not quickly, but she got the job done). After much ado, we decided on tenderloin sliders and BBQ pizza – both were incredible.
The wrap-around patio provided a great showcase for watching the creatures of the State and Thomas area – both people and animals. Speaking of, their patio is pet friendly and there are some really cute mutts. The wait staff with even bring a water bowl for them!
With the 80s rock music and the lemonade vodkas flowing, we greatly enjoyed our time at State and Allen.
