    It was amazing. Beautiful decor. Excellent service. The snacks were yummy. The drinks were fantastic. Really a lovely place. We spent many hours there chatting actually. A little pricey, but totally worth it.

    The bar has a deco decor and music playing. It's relatively bright for a bar and service is somewhat slow, but it has a nice atmosphere. The drinks really have a nice aftertaste. The bar has locals and hotel guests. The Deep Search is interesting and the French Dispatch is delicious. Would come here again for a casual drink.

    Came here on a Sunday night for drinks, and their ambiance is lovely. It's refined, crisp, and clean. The bar is to the right, and restaurant is to the left after you enter. Valet is complimentary. Service is on point, and the bartenders are excellent at making suggestions and drinks that are off the menu. I went for the Shalom (rum, peychaud's, aperol, egg white, orgeant, lime, tonic), which was refreshing, flavorful, and light. Also tried the entre ciel et mer (tequila, rum, velvet falernum, tokaji, peychaud's) which was on the boozier side. Their East of the Pecos (tequila, mezcal, cremosa verde, orgeat pinapple, lime, celery) had the most unique rim - it was like tajin with curry flavor. This made for a very complex and multi-dimensional take on a margarita. Loved all the drinks and the service.

    I've driven by this place so many times but didn't realize it was a cool bar and restaurant! My friends and I didn't go to the restaurant but we went to the bar area which gave speakeasy vibes, and there was a pianist playing live music. For drinks I had the sleeper which was along the lines of an espresso martini with a slightly creamy flavor. My friends had La Colombe No 2 (presentation was amazing, and it tasted very fresh), and eureka heights. For the table we shared the bone marrow with toast which was actually very tasty and had capers, garlic, and microgreens. I've heard that this place gets pretty busy but when we went around 10 pm on a rainy evening, there were enough tables open for us to be comfortable. There isnt a lot of parking, but you can park along the side streets for free.

    This was our first time here, just by chance. We had been in the area looking at wedding venues and the bartender, Sergio, had overheard our conversation and gave us a sincere congratulations. It was super sweet and heartwarming! Shortly after, a cocktail server named Tiara, surprised us with a delicious flourless chocolate cake and we were just overwhelmed with the hospitality and generosity provided by these two employees. Highly recommend coming to this hidden gem in the Houston Museum District. We will be back!! Allie & Leo

    Super cute lounge inside of the hotel. The seating and decor is beautiful. We stayed for only one drink because we wanted some music however the espresso martinis were on point! The space is small so if you have a big party I'd call to ensure there is seating and they offer valet.

First, the vibe. It is warm, stylish, and very Montrose in the best way. It feels elevated but still relaxed enough to just sit, talk, and enjoy your time without feeling rushed. We came during happy hour and it was such a great deal. I ordered the Sweet Like Peach Tree, which was light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced with the peach and ginger. My husband got the Frozen Paloma and it was just as good, super smooth with the right citrus bite. We also shared the churros and they were honestly a must order. Warm, crispy, and paired with Nutella and caramel. What really made the experience stand out though was our bartender, Manny. He was incredibly welcoming from the moment we sat down, had such a great personality, and made the whole experience feel personal. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and that kind of service is hard to find. He also told us about their upcoming two year anniversary party on May 3rd with rotating live DJs, which sounds like it will be such a fun time. We will definitely be back. Between the drinks, the atmosphere, and the service, this place really gets it right.

The quality of the drinks are really excellent and the burgers have been voted some of the best in town! I can't speak for them, but the drinks and the spot, are phenomenal. They have bingo nights, dj nights, and other themed events that keep the place packed out. Maybe once I try the burgers, it'll be 5 stars, but the smallll parking lot and lack of safe street parking keep me at 4.

Considering the recent shutter of other places (#2) within the hospitality umbrella, it's not too big of a surprise that Wooster's would also be in the crosshairs. The space was always a nice mix of indoor and outdoor seating, which combined with its dedicated parking lot made this an easy drinking outlet for all kinds of occasions. The intimate indoor space was lovely and well ventilated, and it felt like there wasn't ever a moment where the bar wasn't slammed. The outdoor space was much of the same, with lots of tables and chairs, and even the trendy swing chairs facing the city. The only thing that was a little bit of a liability were those open flame heaters; it would only take on person to accidentally walk into one or trip onto it. For libations, the drinks were well priced, well made, and always potent. I appreciated the aesthetics, as well as the bartenders who made them. The only part that wasn't exciting was the limited food menu, which did its part as munchies for the drink heavy crowd, but was mediocre otherwise. The space is already undergoing the new facelift of a separate concept, one of which I hope will do the area justice, just as much as Wooster's did. ____________ (#1) The Kirby Group. (#2) R.I.P.

I thought that the catch 22 ( mocktail) would be too sweet or vinegar forward but it was tangy and light. My husband actually said he liked my mocktail more than he liked his cocktail which was good but a bit sweeter than he likes. The second mocktail I ordered was off the menu. I asked for something tropical and not too sweet. It was pretty good but not as complex as the catch 22. My husband liked the jaded merchant better than the dew drop. He also was sipping far too much of my mocktail which speaks volumes about how good it was. Love the moody vibes, drinks, and service. I've only visited three times but should make it one of the places we come to more often.

You are drawn, the way one is drawn to a place that promises honesty with a wink. It wears the posture of a dive but carries itself with intention, a little bohem, a little defiant, and entirely comfortable in its own skin. The bar hums with craft. Cocktails arrive balanced and deliberate, built by hands that understand restraint as much as flair. Nothing shouts. Nothing apologizes. Each glass feels considered, as though the bartender paused just long enough to ask what kind of night you were hoping to have, then answered without speaking. The staff moves easily, quick with wit and generous with attention, treating regulars and first-timers as if both had already earned their place. The decor tells its own quiet rebellion. Mismatched, layered, worn just enough to feel lived in, it carries the sense that stories have been told here and will be told again. And then there are the bathrooms, unisex and unashamed, their walls papered with vintage Playboy centerfolds that celebrate the female form not as spectacle but as art. Tasteful, sexy, unapologetic. A reminder that admiration can exist without crudeness, that beauty does not need permission to be acknowledged. The Two Headed Dog is less a bar than a posture toward the world. It resists neat categories. Not quite dive, not quite cocktail lounge, not quite anything else that could be reduced to a label. It is a place for those who appreciate craft without pretension, sensuality without excess, and atmosphere without artifice. In a city that thrives on reinvention, this bar stands firm, confident enough to be exactly what it is and nothing more.

We had a wonderful waiter and gave us a lot of recommendation. But the treatment kind of fell off towards the end when he was held up by a huge party for a good while to the point where we changed our mind about desserts and after dinner drinks and had to go. The cocktail "come and take it" was balance and flavorful. The crab samosa is a hit. It is crammed with crab stuffing. It is amazing and you get two different kind of dipping sauce with it, Tartar and butter. This was the first that any restaurant has ever done for us, but they actually split our soup in half for us so what's pictured is the half the soup. The duck pad Thai was amazing!!! I wish I had that instead. I had the Caribbean braised oxtail. I wasn't a big fan. I felt like I was tasting more of the sauce and carbs. I asked for the mango and spices on the side. The mango was a nice plate cleanser in between bites. The ambience was really nice , definitely upscale compared to their Travis's Carr location and something that you should dress up for. This is good for a nice formal celebration dinner or date dates. Or fancy Bestie night. There is complementary valet at the front. They have a sign that says do not park across the street.
