    Behind Closed Doors really doesn't miss. The fact that you can enjoy 3 very different vibes in one spot without a cover charge feels rare these days. Because it's centrally located on Main Street, easy to walk to after street parking nearby, and the mix of rooms makes it a go-to for me whether I'm with friends or a date. The Gold Room is a whole vibe in itself. Low lighting, luxe cocktails, and that kind of calmer crowd that lets you catch your breath while still feeling in the mix. The speakeasy menu is really creative and changes often. On my most recent visit (a Friday night), I had the Espresso Rapido and Mad Robot, and the ingredients alone made it feel a little more elevated than your usual downtown bar. Now the Red Room upstairs is where the energy shifts. It's loud, hot, packed, and fun. The lighting is intense but makes for some fire photos. The DJs are always solid. The 25+ age crowd was a mix of dancing or chatting along the perimeter of the bar and dance floor. It's a spot where you really get to decide how you want to enjoy the night. And despite how busy it gets, it still feels safe. The crowd has always been a good time every time I've gone. If you're bar hopping or just want to people watch somewhere for a few hours, this is an easy pick. There's something about the combination of Main Street energy with a well-designed, multi-room setup that makes Behind Closed Doors a standout in the downtown scene.

    Very cute hidden bar inside this bar. If you go beyond the second door it opens to this cute room with seats and a bar. I got an espresso martini that was delicious.

    We stopped in here midday on a holiday weekend and we're surprised to find it completely empty, but it made for an even more unique experience as we got to talk one on one with the bartender here his favorite drinks and recommendations and I enjoyed my cocktail very much. My boyfriend actually stole mine the first round and realize that he liked it more than what he had ordered so we swapped and then we both ordered the same drink as my original on our next round unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of the drink, but I feel certain that if you ask for the drink that catches on fire, they will know what you want! Important detail to share if you are stopping in on a weekday, the hidden room is not open

    My initial impression was that this should be the coolest bar in Houston. They had multiple floors, bisexual purple mood lighting, a DJ and large dance floor upstairs too. But after a while I felt like I was at an awkward school dance, with people mostly standing off to the side instead of dancing. Our group pulled up on a Friday night, ready to see what Houston nightlife was all about. The purple neon lights hit me and I thought surely all the cool kids were out here. We got our drinks and headed upstairs, following the siren call of bass, expecting to find a packed dance floor. Instead we find space. So much space you could maybe do a cart wheel in there if you were so inclined. The few people that were there clung to the walls like their lives depended on it. The DJ was trying their best, but the crowd wasn't lit enough. I'm not saying this place was awful. The drinks were good, the vibe was cool in theory and at least there was room to dance without elbowing someone in the face. But for a Friday night it wasn't lively at all. So final verdict on BCD and by extension my glimpse into Houston nightlife was that it's about as lit as my grandma's mahjong games.

    Loved Behind Closed Doors! This was a fun spot on a Friday night downtown. Obviously, a great vibe and instagram worthy esthetic. The "hidden bar-Speakeasy" The Gold room, was nice and a more intimate place to relax with a drink. High end liquors, nice bar tenders but the drink was about an 8/10. It was good but nothing special or that stood out about them. $38 for an Old Fashioned and a Sidecar, tip is automatically applied and that's fine. I appreciate them pointing that out. Main bar with all the fun lights and retro feel is a lot of fun as well and also has some smaller food options which was needed at this point. We got the dip which was supposed to have caviar but definitely didn't but was still good. We also got the Wagyu hot dog which was actually really good! The star of the night for me was the drink my wife and I both ordered "Burn After Reading" it was sweet, sour, smoky and spicy. A really incredible drink! Again, tip is included and drinks are less expensive at the front bar. If you leave the tab open it follows you throughout the venue- a nice touch. All in all, it was a lot of fun and a great start to our night. Would definitely come back especially when entertaining friends from out of town.

    For a night out on Main St, Behind Closed Doors is the place to be. It's packed with pumping energy, good music (all eras of rap & r&b), neon lights, and plenty of hidden spots that are easy to miss. Upon entering, you'll find the DJ to the right of you, and a walkway with seats/tables on both sides. There is a second DJ upstairs and a speakeasy for those needing a space to chill out. Drinks are a bit pricey and 20% auto-gratuity is added to all bills. Vibes are top tier.

    Watch out for that sneaky automatic 20% gratuity that is added to your bill. They got me, as I also left some money on the tip line.

The dining room is chic and feels very upscale but comfortable with a large open fire kitchen that was really fun to watch while dining. They were very on top of service with both our dining captain and waiter checking on us throughout the evening. For appetizers we ordered the deviled crabs, tuna tostada and wood roasted carrots. All were great but I especially loved the carrots which were cooked and seasoned perfectly. For my main course I had the chicken and dumplings, husband got the NY strip, our friends shared the whole fish and we had the cabbage and crab rice as sides. Everyone was very happy with both their main courses and the side dishes. We were too stuffed to order dessert but they sent out a s'mores inspired sunday for my birthday which was both thoughtful and sublime. Overall we were very impressed with our meal. Food was delicious but veeeery indulgent. We will be back.

For drinks, we got the Situationship, Lychee Lemon Drop, Smooth Operator, and Blue Tile IPA. All the cocktails were very tasty and perfectly balanced.
