Cold Beer Company

Cool little place to grab a beer.
We tried the dips (tomatillo salsa, tomato salsa, pimento dip) and liked all of them a lot.
Also tried the HUGE «Bully» sandwich, which comes with brisket, cole slaw and cheddar with a side of chips. The bun was warm, slightly crispy on the outside and held up nicely to the filling. The brisket was pretty tender but a little bland, but there is also a pretty good BBQ sauce on the side, which makes up for it.
Overall a good experience.

A quaint little hole-​in-​the-​wall! Friendly staff and a large selection of beer to choose from. The food selection was decent. I tried the cheese plate which had a nice variety of things on it including hummus, crackers, almonds, turkey rolls and fruit. A fun place to go and hang out!

Great little bar at the end of the Deep Ellum strip. Mostly local brew but they have a full bar. Foods great love the hot dogs my recommendation the Mac n Cheese dog. I mean come on Bacon Mac n Cheese on a foot long hotdog. They have an ok late night menu but I would just try to come early it’s nothing to crazy over like PB n J. Staff not too sad but not too friendly I guess it’s just a job. Other than that great beer selection.

From the moment we walked in with the tornados sirens ringing, I felt at home & safe! Level of service, was a culinary experience! From the brisket tacos to the frito bandito all around bad ass!

Terrific Spot! Great music, good food and drink specials, and cool staff. Perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

With it’s laid-​back vibe and quiet location, CBC quickly became my favorite patio to unwind after work and enjoy come cold cocktails and late-​night bites. The space is basically divided into 4 seating areas: one inside and then an area on each of the three sides facing the streets. The crowd is pretty eclectic, with a variety of ages and styles representing. There are tables with and without umbrellas, as well as a few Adirondack chairs. They have misters and fans to keep you cool in the summertime and ample bike parking. There is a parking lot behind, as well as street parking available.
The late night menu offers kolaches, brisket tacos (on flour tortillas), a house-​made pretzel, or a PB & J with milk. The tacos and the pretzel are my preferences of the options, but I like the dinner brisket tacos better (they come on corn tortillas). Other regular menu food options consist of mainly sandwiches and hot dogs (tasty toppings and franks from Rudolph’s in Deep Ellum). Snacks are available from the regular menu as well, including house made pickles that you can buy to take home and Bar Trash, which is a terrible-​for-​you-​but-​oh-​so-​tasty-​when-​drinking mixture consisting of cheetos, cheeez-​its, popcorn, peanuts and pretzels, tossed in a spicy seasoning and warmed in the oven.
Drinking is what I do most here, though… The Moscow Mule (you pick your vodka), the Panther, the Pony Up, the craft and local beers and ciders on tap… all are great options. Some cheaper options grace the menu as well for those less-​discerning drinkers.
Great patio, great drink list, great staff, great food, great location… It’s the perfect recipe.

Good food, large selection of beers on tap. Relaxing atmosphere and great outdoor space.

This was my first time at the CBC. I was there to meet a group of people for a meeting. When I first walked in, the inside was not that big, but the patio area was large. It was very hot outside but the misters kept you cool while you enjoyed yourself on the patio. Beer was cold and they had a lot of selections.
Now onto the service… the service was awful! I ordered a cocktail… and…well…never got it. I ordered an appetizer and… well…never got that either. How do I know the beer was cold? I had a sip of the ladies’ beer I was sitting next to. They received their appetizers and at that moment I was glad mine never came. But I guess it’s not known as the «Great Food Company.»
If you want a place to hang out in the neighborhood, it is good for that. But in that group, I know people traveled from Fort Worth, McKinney, Desoto, etc and the ones I spoke with were not happy that they traveled so far for so little. As mentioned earlier, the patio was great! Perhaps when they are not so busy, it would have been a better experience.

My only disappointment is that they are o my opened for lunch on Fridays. Can’t wait to come back after work one day to try one from their many beer selections. Walking distance from my job, perfect!

Among the pubs owned by this same couple, this is the best for pure nifty pub atmosphere. Beer selection is generally under-​whelming but there were a few decent on offer (the rotating taps always hold the promise of an awesome option). The atmosphere is almost European– very cozy. Music playing was not always enjoyable but was ALWAYS at a reasonable volume. While the dude behind the bar was glued to his phone we loved the space so much & were so happy with a $ 3 pint night that we plan to return.

I only heard the name of CBC uttered 48 hours ago, and I’ve already been twice since then. I could get used to this place. I mean they don’t really offer anything you can’t get elsewhere, and there’s nothing they just blow out of the water, but it does a lot of different things well. Let me count the ways:
–Twenty or so beers on draft that I wouldn’t at all mind drinking
–Tasty snacks on the late night menu (try their pretzel)
–Friendly folks behind the bar
–Warehouses in all directions give you a nice feeling you are in some dive oasis
–Spacious outdoor area, perfect for good weather days
–Simple parking (which can’t be said of many other spots nearby) + bike friendly
I could see myself making this one of my go to spots.

The soft light from old timey railroad industrial lamps ambianced a moody old automotive garage on a dark abandoned street of empty warehouses like a scene from a graphic novel.
12am Sunday
You could order a beer, meet with a friend in the still, and have a pleasant conversation.
Which we did.
The cute and kind scruffy guytender could’ve been a roommate who perhaps loved cars and pot, and had a distant dream of moving to Colorado one day with his girlfriend.
The late night menu with 4 items are only offered past midnight: sausage kolaches, brisket tacos and a few other fatty starchy things. He swiftly brought wine, and got to making me tacos, as the white bleached short cropped hair grrrl tender in a light blue soccer jersey manned the friendly bar of chill locals.
We took to the sprawling new patio, lovingly landscaped with a fine wood and chicken wire fence, 50s metal lawn chairs and benches.
A lone woman in a bright fuschia large print floral patterned dress appeared out of the darkness with large lonely eyes and approached us at the fence edge.
Before she could speak the grrrl tender arrived to intervene adeptly «not tonight.»
She firmly said with some understanding to the would be panhandling street worker.
Tacos arrived full of rich brisket wrapped tight in a brown flour tortilla with just enough grease. A green chile salsa provided the perfect dipping sauce.
Wines were fairly priced and decent, but this is a beer place.
As the grrrltender bid us a warm goodbye I thought I saw her thought bubble — she was into cars, and moving to Colorado with her girlfriend.
A thoroughly hang outable place that is clean and amped out in its chillness.

The Texas weather finally held up for long enough last night that we could try out a new restaurant with patio seating. I wish it hadn’t been this place.
When we walked in it wasn’t overly crowded because it was still early. We weren’t sure if we sat ourselves or what the deal was so we stood around. Looking confused. People passed us who I thought might be waitresses (turns out they were) and didn’t even acknowledge us. We finally went outside and sat down. More waitresses walked past us, including the one who ended up serving us, but no one said anything for at least 10 minutes. It gave me time to look around at our surroundings and I absolutely loved the set up of the place. The patio is beautiful on a nice sunny day and I like that the bar is open in the back so you can be indoors while still feeling fresh air.
Our waitress, who is hands down the reason we had a bad experience, finally came over to greet us. She seemed incredibly disinterested in having to interact with us, but more on that in a minute.
Our food was delicious. I got the jive turkey sandwich, which was missing the jalapeños from the menu but that was probably for the best. The aioli was really good and the sandwich was a big portion. My boyfriend got the old vern hot dog, topped with cheese and brisket, which was also great.
Our waitress came by to take our empty trays and glasses. There was literally nothing in front of us. She then went a stood by the opening to the inside of the restaurant. She took a towel and wiped her face. She whispered to one of the other waitresses. She came out and cleaned a table that hadn’t been occupied since we had been there. I could see her the whole time. We were sitting there with a completely empty table for 15 minutes and she never once went to the printing system (which is outside) to print our check. Waitresses passed us and once again didn’t say anything. I finally got up and walked over the her to ask if we could have our check. She printed it right away, and then went back to cleaning a patio table for a few minutes before she even brought it over.
The food was tasty, but not worth the drive to get such terrible service. Also, a sign only visible if you are leaving the place told us to «seat ourselves» on the way out.
Not impressed.

I don’t go to Deep Ellum very often but came here for a friend’s birthday. Needless to say, its not what I expected at all. The bar was really cute and laid back. I really enjoyed everything here. The drink prices wasn’t as expensive too. This place has a great patio outdoor seating which is perfect for sitting outside if its not raining.
My friend and I got the Shelby sandwich and the mac and cheese hot dog. It was soooo good. The Shelby sandwich had apples in it which was weird at first but it turned out to be really good with the rest of the sandwich. I do love the toasted baguette in the Shelby sandwich as well. The hot dog was so great. I would highly recommend the mac n cheese hot dog out of everything on the menu. I was so impressed.
Love this place. I would go back if I was ever in Deep Ellum again!

I really enjoyed the Cold Beer Company. The in door bar is a bit small but there is plenty of room to sit and mingle outdoors. The bar area is open and You can easily access the outside from the inside. They had your typical liquor selection with a well stocked draft/​bottle beer selection too. Can’t really comment on food because we didn’t eat. But the menu consisted of burgers, sandwiches and hotdogs. I’m giving this place 4 stars mainly due to it’s atmosphere. I must say, I liked the vibe of this place. It was super laid back, comfy. The crowd was diverse, the service was great and they had cornhole sets outside! Woo! This place is a perfect Sunday afternoon spot. If your not in the mood for beer, I suggest The Panther cocktail. It was so refreshing. I had like 4! Can’t wait to go back and try one of their food menu items!

I’ll be back here again because it reminds me of living in austin. Open concept and rustic at the same time. Bartenders are cool and everyone seems to socialize or you can grab a spot on your own. They have burger Tuesday special and simple food menu as they don’t have a fryer.
This a cool place to hang at the end of deep ellum strip where you can find decent parking if you’re there early enough. I’ll be back as its close to work and fairly close from home.

What happened to my review that I wrote? OK, here goes again. Stopped in after work to check out a live show of sports radio The Ticket. Ordered a margarita. The bartender, while very nice, did not know how to make one properly and I ended up asking if he could add some triple sec so that it wouldn’t be so sour. He obliged, I was happy and that was that. Seeing how I was there alone and did not know anyone, I did not stick around to order food off the menu. It’s a nice place to hang out especially if the weather’s nice and the garage doors are raised so you can look outside on to the large outdoor seating area that wraps around the joint in a U-​shape. It’s in a good location with a very casual and laid back atmosphere. No Uptown pretentiousness hanging out at this joint and I like that it’s pet-​friendly. I’d check it out again.

Friends invited me down to this joint, and I had a different idea of the place in my head when I headed out there. What a nice spot! The bar is small, but with a wonderful patio area.
The food is better than good bar food. A nice selection of delicious, casual nosh. The Big Ol’ Sandwiches are true to their name. The cheese board has a few very nice selections. The cocktail list is unpretentious and has something for everyone. Their version of the Moscow mule is refreshing and punch-​like.
Overall a great hang.

This little spot is making a big splash in the east Deep Ellum neighborhood. The first thing you will notice upon arrival is the luscious patio. That’s right, I used the word luscious when describing the patio, but that’s because it’s fitting. The patio is large for a place this size. They’ve done a great And of course, the patio is dog friendly. There is a bike rack at the entrance.
Once you get inside the bar is just big enough to have a few friends around, with out being lost among strangers. The south side of the building has the roadhouse style garage doors that open directly to the south patio. Of course with the name of Cold Beer Company, you expect to have a cold beer and that’s exactly what you can get. Their selection is diverse. Most of their selection isn’t on tap, but that provides something different than most of the other chic & trendy places that are popular. Currently, they have specials on week nights and from what I can tell their menu for food will keep your munchies under control.

Welcome to the neighbor you wonderful bar. I’m in love with Rex the bartender. He’s adorable, funny and helpful and makes a point to know your name. I popped in after work yesterday and had a great time. I’m glad to see the uptown DB’s haven’t found this place yet. Everyone in the bar were all super cool. I had a couple of vodka sodas that were great. I had the meatball sandwich for dinner and I loved it. The sandwich was cut in half and had about 3 meatballs on each side, I think. The bread was fresh and soft. They give you a cup of marinara and I loved it. Not too sweet and not too tangy. It was perfect.
The building itself is bigger than I had thought. Plenty’o seats. BUT let’s talk about their patio. OMG — it’s huge and wonderful (TWSS). They really made great use of the space.
I look forward to trying this place out over and over. The menu is beckoning me now.
