re: Houston people: Hay Merchant vs Petrol Station

IMO, Petrol Station has better burgers. I've only eaten at Hay Merchant a couple of times, but I wasn't impressed with their burger. Some of their other food is decent.

However, HM has a much larger beer selection. HM has offerings from all over the country and some imports, as well as a few casks every day. That's not saying that PS has a bad beer selection at all, its just smaller.

Also, PS has a lot of outdoor/patio space. HM is right in the middle of Montrose and has a larger indoor area but a smaller patio.

Hope that helps.
