-Location is great, beautiful neighborhood with plenty of parking -bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable -the space is cool, local art for sale on the walls -music is right for the space -cocktails are legitimate and delicious -the spirits are unmatched, post oak bourbon and I-10 gin are standouts The post oak bourbon is hands down the smoothest bourbon I've ever had.

Avonak Distillery was a really great experience. It's really small but a super cute distillery. The tastings were absolutely delicious. Kyle was so wonderful telling us the stories of each spirit. A must try experience!!!

Great place, very informative, awesome experience, great tasting. Went there as birthday gift. Highly recommended.

An absolutely fabulous vibe, beautiful furniture and art, gorgeous labels on their distilled gin and vodka, and a STELLAR PLAYLIST. Highly recommend the energy.

Wow, We ordered old fashions and by far the best we've had, and we're the type who have these every where we go, highly impressed!!, perfect balance and a joy on the palate, We'll definitely be back, cheers!!

Cool distillery/bar in Garden Oaks. Off the beaten path with plenty of parking. All cocktails are expertly made using their liquor. Nice quiet spot to escape the crazies.

Came to Avonak Distillery with my mother since she is a distillery fan! Best decision ever... the ambiance in addition to the decor made for an amazing experience. Reminded me of a modern speak easy! Also the cocktails were Divine! Perfect spot for a date or hang out with your friends! Hidden gem! Pictured below is a suffering bastard and a bees knees!

Another great addition to Oak Forest/Garden Oaks area and the stretch of cool places along Wakefield. Right next to Pengu on Golf st. Drop your kid for swim lessons, drop in for a cocktail and then stroll home. (I don't have kids but I assume it's that easy right?). If you are in the area definitely drop in! Very cool place!

This was a letdown. Friends I traveled to come check this place out only to find out it's basically just a place to purchase their products. There were three mini cocktails available for purchase and only two chairs in the lobby. This lobby is so small you can smell the air freshener coming from the bathroom. The $5 Old Fashioned wasn't bad but not great either. When I asked the guy at the register if there was another location, he said no and that the business had recently relocated from Houston. read more

After the tour, you can have a tasting of their spirits; they currently have 2 gins, a vodka and a bourbon, all of which are produced on site (from milling, mashing, fermentation to bottling) using organic ingredients! I especially loved their bourbon and gins. Really enjoyed our visit to Avonak and would highly recommend checking out! read more

I've been doing a whole life of distillery tours while I was still living in California. It's great to find a gem like Avonak here in Houston where they make their vodka and gin from scratch, i.e. they start with milling the grains and have put a lot of thought and love of detail in every single step because every single step is important. And the result shows this care that went into every aspect. Right now you can buy three things from Avonak: a super smooth and clean vodka that's so good you can sip it neat. And two types of gin, named after the life arteries of Houston traffic: Fifty Nine, and 10. Both have a very distinct profile without being overpowering. We did a tour and tasting with Kyle, the master distiller and owner, and so should you if you're ready step up your vodka or gin game. The best part is: stepping up ain't expensive. Their philosophy is that craft process is no excuse to overcharge and that shows in their price policy. Watch out for them coming into local liquor stores soon or - better even - check out their pristine distillery with the Dutch stills and have a tasting. read more

I had chance to visit Avonak recently and the owner lead our group on a tour and a tasting of his gins. They are currently selling 2 gins and a vodka. Everything is made from 100% organic ingredients. And everything they sell is truly produced on their site, from milling the grains, mashing, fermentation and bottling. Many so called craft distilleries will show you some equipment but sell you a bottle of product that they actually sourced from some big out of state industrial alcohol plant. The 2 gins, Fifty 9 Gin and 10 Gin, are decisively different with each having a unique set of organic botanicals used. They are located inside Beltway 8 near 59N, not far from IAH airport. If you visit their website, you can contact them about arranging a visit. read more

Our tour was led by Kyle who is the head distiller and owner, he was extremely knowledgeable and allowed us to really get a feel for how the vodka, gin and bourbon was made. Not to mention he made us both some delicious cocktails before touring that kept us wanting more. The tasting was just as good as the informative tour.

Sweet Greek Pastries

It's a good thing it's expensive for desserts (VERY well worth the prices for amazing handmade…read moretreats!) or I'd eat way too many of them! What a great find! The workers are friendly and patient, eager to tell you what the items are if you have questions, and the great smell of food coming from the two groups of people eating lunch made me want to eat lunch again just to try it. Definitely on my fo to spot to try some of their Greek food. The two desserts I purchased (one for the day and one for another) were rich and tasty. One was like a chocolate cake roll with chocolate and the other had a Nutella taste. Yum! Can't wait to try more!

Really good home-cooked Greek food. If you don't know you better get with it. This place is great…read morechicken and rice Soup sampler plate for two should be more like for four it is huge. Come get you some. If you in the neighborhood, you won't be disappointed.

Wow, I honestly didn't know what to expect with this place. Michelin recognized...James Beard…read morewinner...in the most unassuming location. First, it's a freaking shopping strip with trash parking. That's the only complaint...oh and pretty warm inside but we are in the Texas heat. However - the food and experience was impeccable!! We got the bluefin tuna tostadas (10/10), Grilled Octopus & bone marrow (10/10), potato & queso empanada with caviar and crème fraiche (8/10), peach & burrata (9.5/10) as the appetizers and I can confidently say I was already blown away. Then we got the Wagyu Carne Asada (10/10), Duck two ways (9/10) and the Street corn agnolotti (8/10). Nothing was bad. it was all so good and I now see why there's so much recognition around this place. The service was great, the ambiance was unassuming, the food was perfection, and lowkey - I'm going back in the fall for next season's menu. Kudos to this place bc holy shit. You deserve all of the accolades!

Took a drive (1 hour, one way from southwest Houston) to get to the restaurant which is located in…read morea strip center and somewhat nondescript. Parking was expected to be an issue as the lot is shared with other businesses in the center, but was not an issue for an early evening Saturday. But parking can be an issue at times, I was told. The restaurant is small with only tables and maybe 4-5 seats at the small bar. We arrived about 15 minutes before our 6:45pm reservation and had to wait due to no available tables, but that was not a showstopper. The noise level was moderate throughout our stay such that one could easily carry on a conversation with table mates without having to scream. Almost all patrons were nicely dressed. Since this is a Michelin acknowledged restaurant two years in a row, we were expecting uniqueness and we were not disappointed. That said, food was very good, but I would not rate it as spectacular. The blue fin tuna tostados were delightful and hands down the best dish we had. Ceviche mixto was excellent with a just a hint of heat. I would order these two appetizer dishes again. Main courses consisted of duck 2 ways, redfish with green mole and risotto, spring cavatelli, and grilled shrimp & pork belly. All were delicious and uniquely tasty with the exception of the duck. Mind you, I really like duck and the sliced portions were excellent and perfectly seasoned and moist, but the pate-like accompaniment was not that good, plus the mole sauce was not what I was expecting. Table sides of Brussels sprouts and fried cauliflower were good but nothing special. The Eton Mess with strawberries was simply delicious. Would I go back? Maybe, but not anytime soon.

I feel they put thought into the blends you could pick from. though it was not clear from the website that afternoon tea only includes hot tea and if you wanted the iced tea it would cost extra. it would be nice for that to be mentioned somewhere because i feel they spent a lot of time outlining all the other details on the website. the service that day was slow, i think there may have been just one server for everyone inside the shop and it was pretty busy. so i think that influenced that side of it. but things happen. overall my experience was great and would love to come back.

This time we didn't have a reservation but we were told we'd be able to dine in 20mins so we walked the shops a bit more. When it was time we got a call to come back and was seated and hosted by , she was sweet. Ordered off the main menu and got a peach tea, which was delicious by itself but I like my teas a little sweet so we got some sugar and honey as sweeteners. We also got the fairy water for the baby girl. (She loves it) The grilled cheese and soup is so tasty and comes out hot which is also good for a soup. The portions (Caprese sandwich and mushroom sandwich) were so filling but we ate it all, even the accompanying salads. We chatted and laughed and had a great afternoon tea in this quaint little restaurant.

I also really wish they appreciated the attention to the dining experience more. Little things matter. paper towels at the tables, an easy-to-find tray return, and someone offering water for free or for sale. It will make for a much more enjoyable, its hot AF in houston from march through November and agua is a must. Dining experience aside definitely worth a stop if you're looking for top-tier BBQ in Houston.

And great food for a great price & no wait is always an easy pick. I stopped in around noon on a Friday for lunch. It was pretty busy, but we didn't have to wait more than 20min in line. Service was good too - our food came out pretty quickly. Free beer helps! It was a little hot outaide, but they had good music and some nice picnic tables We got the loaded fideo bowl & the rosemeyer sampler. Everything was pretty delicious. The brisket and pulled pork were definitly the best items we tried. I thought the boudin and jalapeño sausage were good, but not as awesome. I was surprised by the gumbo - it was definitely different than what I expected, and I thought it was just ok. But the other sides were all yummy. I especially loved the fideo!! The loaded fideo was nice, but the side portion was perfect for me. Overall, good experience. Not as delicious as some rivals, but definitely better prices & less wait time. When I come back I'll probably just get the brisket and pulled pork. I'd get a side of fideo for sure.

One thing that really bothered me was that one waitress took my card yet another brought it back out. This really concerns me when there is transfer of that personally.

One of the best kept secrets in the Houston area. This distillery makes very high end bourbon and gin. You can taste the love in every sip. If you can find them at your local liquor store, you will not be disappointed. read more

Fantastic spirits, knowledgeable distillers. Some of the smoothest liquors I have ever had in Houston. Do yourself a favor and stop in.
