"I am on record as saying that Mr Precious' first Ginger Man, in Houston, Texas, is one of my favorite pubs in the United States. This is not only because it has a fine selection of beers (a feature hardly ever found in Ireland, where Guinness suffices) but also because it is a true pub, where it is possible to indulge in conversation without having dubious entertainments or food pressed upon one. Despite its name, it has no oppressive theme, either as a literary bar or as an Irish tavern."

-Michael Jackson in "Failing to meet The Ginger Man",
originally in Ale Street News (reprinted here)

"...An American Haven of chaotic craziness...surely the most interesting of pubs in Houston, Texas...I have never found anywhere quite like it and I don't think I will again."

-Dublin's Evening Press
