About Gristworkz
Gristworkz is a brewpub just north of downtown Houston, with the beer brewed on site. The beer comes off a 10 barrel system, from recipes by owner and brewer Dave Sorrell. It bills itself as your neighborhood bar.
The beer menu covers a Mexican lager, a Kolsch, a Czech pilsner, a hazy IPA, a black lager and an American stout. There is wine too, and a cocktail list that runs from the classics to seasonal drinks. Non-alcoholic options are on the menu as well.
The kitchen is locally sourced and scratch made. The menu has pizzas, sandwiches, salads and plates built to share. A late night menu runs Thursday through Saturday.
The patio faces Burnett Street and has a walk-up window for ordering. The spot is an easy stop on a bike ride, with access to the local trail network. Trivia runs on Thursdays.
