Hard Water Lounge - Crosby

Top of the line bar! Killer atmosphere and the bartender Arvey rocks it! Owner Mike Loomdog is beyond attractive and a great guy!

Drove an hour to meet a friend for drinks! Hours are posted open until 10pm! They were closed at 8pm when I got there. Bartender and guest still inside. Very disappointed!!

We three ladies decided to stop for “dessert” after we had dinner somewhere else. We sat up at the bar because we love to watch Mixologists work their magic!! The young bartender acknowledged us right away and let us know it would be a few minutes. She was making cocktails for a table of 6. We let her know it was fun to watch her work and not to rush!! She ran the drinks over and came back to assist us. 2 White Russians and an Espresso Martini. I have had a few Espresso Martinis in my life, this was one of the best!! While she was making our cocktails the male bartender came and apologized for having us wait!! What do Misses need?? We “MATURE “ women teased him about being called Misses!!! We let him know that the young lady bartender was mixing our drinks right now. They only issue we had was they were playing 70’s rock! And quite loud!! We enjoyed it immensely! Cheers!!

Hard Water is a very cool bar in the middle of Crosby. I love the combination of a little bit dive bar, not too much but a little that that still fits with the well thought out cocktail list. The bartenders are well trained and do a nice job of whipping up anything that you like. This is a big ice cube place, which is somewhat hard to find up here.

Stopped in for a smoked old fashion the other day and was told I would be charged a $3 fee on my $45 tab for paying with a credit card. I've never had to previously so not sure if I was just ripped off by the douche bag bar tender we had or if this is really a thing now but I won't be back if anyone asks I won't recommend. The place has gone way downhill and telling me I will be charged a fee was the last straw. I had breakfast at the north country the next day and I wasn't asked to pay a fee there, or anywhere else on earth I've ever used a credit card for that matter. WTF?
