Tues 2/21/23 7pm- We normally don’t visit downtown McAllen but decided to give this location a try. It’s small inside but there is plenty of outdoor space outside. The location does give a bar type vibe; the inside is very charming. They had an event around 9-10 but unfortunately we couldn’t stay. There is a small stage in the front and a bigger stage out back. It’s a nice hangout spot.

This place has a great vibe. Funky. Dive-ish. A little bit of everything, from the decor to the food. Menu offerings are limited but interesting and tasty. Large selection of beers. There is live music at times and also a midsize outdoor venue with a stage. Indoor and outdoor seating, including graffiti covered picnic tables. The recorded music was too loud to carry on a conversation unless you sat around the corner. The food portions are small. Order food and drinks at the bar.

The ambiance is amazing, the customer service is incredible, and there is always a variety of things to do here. My only thing is that the food is pretty pricy for the amount you get, although the quality is absolutely incredible. I got pork belly tacos, fries, pretzel, and Korean wings. The tacos are a nice Mexican/Asian fusion, they are incredibly well done and delicious. The fries are well seasoned and their sauce was pretty good as well just wish they also offered ranch. The Korean wings were super crispy and crunchy on the outside and nice and juicy on the inside, although I would have preferred a bit more sauce on them but besides that the seasoning was perfect. Their pretzel was nice and soft doughy, they give you 3 sauces one is a cream cheese ranch blend which was just perfect and the other two are spicy mustard and regular mustard. Overall the food is great just a bit pricy for the amount, but it’s a bar so I know most people don’t really come here for the food. Sorry I didn’t get a pic of the wings and pretzel.

Cozy place with a good mix of indoor and outdoor seating. The meals are perfect for small plate sharing, and the prices are amazing for what you get. Great place to take a date before going out for some drinks, or after you’ve had a couple and need to soak up the booze. Beer selection isn’t huge at the moment, but offers a really nice variety of Texas beers. The staff was super attentive and explained everything to us.

The Gremlin is a space far removed cheap pumps and dresses found in the clearance section at Ross. A block away from debauchery, it remains a safe haven for those who don’t belong or connect with stobe lights and the two dollar beer scene.
