About The Standard Pour
Behind the red facade at McKinney and Allen, a long bar runs under floor-to-ceiling shelves of whiskey, and the owners count the bourbon selection among the top 50 in America. The menu is modern American gastropub: chicken tenders, jalapeño poppers, lobster ravioli, burgers, bruschetta, and steak and eggs at brunch, which starts at 11am on Saturday and Sunday with mimosa carafes and a live performer switching between violin, saxophone and guitar. Weekdays open at 5pm, and every night runs until 2am. Happy hour specials draw a steady after-work crowd, and on weekends the room gets loud and packed. Google rates it 4.5 across about 1,430 reviews; beyond an occasional note about the air conditioning struggling in summer, the drinks, pours and prices get consistent praise.
