Green Door On Second

Music styles: Rock, Texas music, classic rock, country and some alternative. Later in the evening becomes more upbeat. Mix of today’s contemparary hits, 80’s and 90’s pop and dance and Rock.
Drinks: Heavier pours compared to all the other bars in town. That’s a fact. Cold beer, great draft selection.
Prices: Great prices in town at night. Cheapest downtown. Plus, specials everyday. Great happy hour that goes from open till 8pm daily.
Staff: You will receive friendly service and a smile from everyone. The entire bar staff at Greendoor are experienced bartenders.
Events: Wednesday nights is NTN hosted live trivia. Prizes to be had.
Friday night is an all request piano show done by none other then Russell Boyd, he’s amazing. Also it’s the only night Greendoor charges a cover and it’s only $ 5 bucks for an amazing show.
Saturday is no cover and it’s a DJ with Karaōke and dance music all night.

If it wasn’t for the friendly bartenders this place would probably be with only one star. This place has a ton of potential, but the vibe is more like a dive bar. I came here expecting a nice piano bar, which I’ve been to my fair share of. I was very disappointed, it felt more like a biker bar than a piano bar. The crowd was also filled with mostly guys and as a guy myself you don’t want to go to a «sausage fest». Most females I’ve spoken with tell me they don’t frequent this spot because of the «shady» crowd. It really surprises me since Temple is composed of a majority of women and Scott & White Hospital is right down the road. Get some drink specials for ladies, and dress the place up a bit and people will come. Also charging a cover doesnt help either, so many people I know will turn away because of cover, and not because they can’t afford it, but because its the principle. Cover charges are meant for BIG name bands or events. Lose the cover charges and people will spend more money, when you walk into a place and are told you have to pay a cover, it sets off a negative vibe right off the bat.

Whoever was working the hostess desk was either really concerned about being perceived as cool, or was under the influence of some strong downers. I could barely understand what she was saying when it turned out she was explaining the cover charge. We just wanted a quick after-​show bite, and she checked with the manager to see if we could get in. When we asked if it was okay, she just nodded (not a friendly «yes» nod) more like nodding out. I know we were asking for special treatment, but she didn’t even bother to seem awake to communicate with us.

Bartenders were extremely nice at The Green Door. They went of their way to make a barely filled bar seem warm and inviting. That being said, overall vibe of the bar was convoluted and confused. The space is grossly misused and offers nothing. It’s a room with pool tables.
I’m not saying a club or a dive, but at least find a middle ground. The clientele was a mix of guys with tattoos and dudes playing pool and the majority was all dressed in black. The bar was playing horrific dance music when a smarter bet would have to cater to the guys buying the fast rounds instead of the non existent girls.
Bar tending 101 tells you work toward who’s drinking, and when you’ve got 15 people at 12 on Saturday you’re doing it wrong.
The bar has potential. Get to work Temple!

was sorta busy, but enough room to get around the piano player was pretty funny and knew a good range of music drinks were reasonably priced, also had a few attractive women in there lol big plus

This place isn’t bad for just a little bar. The drinks were pretty good, although weak. The food was less than spectacular although everything we ordered off the appetizer menu was pretty great. My husband ordered a burger and I think they had to slaughter the cow out back. It took FOREVER to get our food and he said it was a pretty lame burger. We were told that they were just heating up the grill when we came in. So maybe you should change your food service hours so that people don’t have to wait for 45 minutes for a plate of food?
Stick to the drinks and appetizers (go during happy hour) and you’ll probably have a pretty good time.

Very cool bar. Went here on a Sat night, so there was a $ 7.00 cover charge for the live band. Little pricey, but not bad. It made up for it since the drinks were cheap. The service at the bar was awesome. The girl taking money for the cover charge was a bi*ch so thats why I deducted one star. Otherwise, it would of been 5 stars.
