Scott Sexton III, Scott Sexton Jr. & Craig Sexton opened Scotty’s Pub on April 1st of 2011. The Pub was a long time dream of all the owners to open a place of their own. Having extremely close and caring friends and family, when the opportunity to open a neighborhood bar came to be, everyone joyfully helped Scotty and team fulfill the dream. Scotty’s has gone through many changes over the years including a fire that shut them down in late 2014, and tornado damage in 2016, but it has grown to be the whiskey- heavy, craft beer- centric, foodie haven that the boys always dreamed of.

In 2016, an opportunity to open Scotty’s Pub on the Bay presented itself. There was no hesitation, and in Jun of 2016 we became a chain!. While this second location is quite different in personality than the original, it is exciting to see it grow. Then in early 2019, one of the owners of Texas Beer Refinery, located on Dickinson Ave in Dickinson, TX., approached us to provide food for their brew pub. This operation began in May 2019.

All owners take an active part in day to day ownership and thrive on working with each other and our wonderful staff to create the best neighborhood bar in the world. They say that your only as strong as your staff and if it wasn’t for our GM’s Quinton, Patrick and our amazing family of employees, and most importantly our incredible customers,  we wouldn’t have made it this long.

Craig Sexton

On April 1st of 2011, just two short weeks after our mother passed I was given the opportunity to open and help run this business with my family. Though I work full-time as a veterinary technician at a local animal hospital I have learned so much about the industry, met a lot of great people and look forward to growing and experiencing much more with the people who mean the most to me.
