I finally had the opportunity to try this bar. There is valet parking, which is the only option I believe unless you find street parking. Upon walking in, the bar is beautiful, there's outdoor seating equipped with heaters for when it's really chilly out. I came during happy hour, so all of the signature cocktails were $10, which was a pleasant surprise as I didn't quite expect this place to have HH. I had the 12 Hour Jet Lag, which is their take on a Lychee Martini, and it was very good. Instead of Vodka they used Gin. I then switched over to Don Julio Reposado and they have a cute ice cube. All of the servers were very nice and welcoming. They were all super helpful. I would definitely recommend and revisit. read more

I wasn't blown away, but I'd give it another try in a few months after they've been open a while. The decor is really nice. I didn't love the ambiance. I came Sunday around 2pm. It felt like they wanted to make it a day party but to me the way it's set up is really a cocktail lounge. Music was super loud and upbeat. I was expecting something lively but just seemed like conflicting identify. The parking lot is very small with no self park options other than possibly a few neighborhood spots nearby. $9 for valet and $20 for "vip" The bartenders weren't the most pleasant. And for automatic 20% gratuity, I'd appreciate service that's more personable. I got a pumpkin spice expresso martini which was delicious. My friend got a class of rose. The rose had a milky color and texture. Both of them were poured from a tap. I would expect a glass poured from a bottle, and a shaken drink for $16. We left pretty quickly. Not impressed read more

At first glance this place was great! From their outdoor lighting to their live music. Ambiance was great & service was better. I did want to note that we were unable to sit inside due to needing a reservation and majority of these tables needed minimum payment of anywhere from $200 or more! For a place that isn't a club and you're paying for a table to just sit and drink is ridiculous. This play is over hyped and try's too hard to be a club/lounge. Disappointed with the limited seating. Having no choice but to sit outside. Once we received our drinks which were an espresso martini and a carajillo. I was disappointed and upset that for $16 this would be ATLEAST decent enough to drink. Drinks were terrible and not worth the price. I could not even finish my drink. As for my friend's espresso martini, the taste of the "foam" was soapy and bitter. For the same price I would much rather go to Ciel than here. I took a look at my coaster that they had given us with our drinks and noticed that these coasters were MOLDY! It's insane to think they hand out moldy coasters. Will not be returning here as there are many bars with much better hand crafted cocktails and ambiance than best regards. Ambiance: 8/10 Service: 7/10 Drinks: 2/10 read more

This place was recommended by a friend for birthday dinner. First of all, not easy place to reach. Hidden away with an obscure sign on West 11th street, so if you miss it, it is difficult to U turn to it. Secondly it's got no parking. Valet is $9! Then when you finally arrive, the menu is minimal selection of cheese boards. I'm shocked at the $30-40 price tags for skimpy dips and few quesadillas. If you looking for good alcohol, the selection is pathetic. Only 2 wines availableare a red and a white (California Chardonnay). Room temperature! I will never go back. Food is mediocre and not worth the hassle of traffic and poor parking situation! read more

Went with a group of friends here last night (a Saturday) for the first time. Probably got there around 10:30 or so - place was PACKED. The outside had the only available seating, and they at least had plastic covers and heaters to keep everyone warm. Drinks were good - I ordered a couple of Old Fashions and my group enjoyed their espresso martinis and other cocktails. And service was decent given how many people were sitting in the section. The downsides were prices of cocktails, the totally packed inside and having to wait in long lines for the bathroom. The place has a cool esthetic, lively music (think more dancing, upbeat) and fun atmosphere, but the packed crowd of people made it really hard to "enjoy" any of those things. Gives the impression of an "Instagram Bar." I'd like to come back at a less crowded time to see if I enjoy it more. read more

Love the atmosphere but be prepared for like any new bar, to be packed. If you wanna skip the line for the BATHROOM, be prepared to have cash. The line takes about 20 minutes. This is my second Saturday consecutively, but with bottle service and multiple rounds of drinks and shots...I didn't appreciate the disrespect experienced with the security guard checking ID's. I went to the door, to get my girls joining us...once we left security didn't allow the BIRTHDAY GIRL back in. I had to get my server/waiter to get them back in with no problems. The servers in the section were as attentive as possible, but probably need more help. I understand their is system and processes but please, check your tone and don't disrespect me.

DO NOT..... I REPEAT.... DO NOT VALET PARK. They will ask if you want a " VIP PARK " for $20 or a regular park for $10. I opt for the basic parking $10. I simply would not return to this establishment because of the Valet service company they were horrible. I got into a verbal argument with a Middle Eastern meathead "manager" in the parking lot about ripping people off and charging double. Apparently, I was not the only one it happened to. A young lady was waiting for her vehicle in the same situation as I was in and she wasn't too happy. BTW the drinks were subpar and overpriced. We were looking forward to this place since it's down the street from our place but it didn't happen.

Popped in here for a Labor Day get together and I was immediately impressed with the decor and ambiance. Gorgeous space with lots of seating. They do have waitstaff that come to some seating areas but after 10 minutes of no service, we decided to head to the bar to get out drinks. I ordered the No Paper Trail which sounded like a super refreshing mezcal based cocktail but the bartender accidentally served me a ranch water instead which I accepted because the wait was pretty long and I didn't want to make a fuss. The menu looks to have a great variety and I would go back to try those once this place settles in to a better rhythm! read more

The food and drinks were good as usual, but the bartender being short with us and seemed like she did not want to be there, which made the night uncomfortable and created a bad first impression on my date.

If the parking lot is full you should be able to find street parking nearby Kanpai Club is a sister location to Handos. They share a kitchen and you can walk through an inside door access either. You can find the same cocktails and bites from Handos on the Kanpai menu, but there's also additional drinks and bites The bar feels like a Japanese Izakaya. It's a narrow space resembling a Japanese outdoor bar. It's intimately lit and well decorated. We did have to wait for two spots to open up, but that didn't take too long The bartenders were friendly, professional, and efficient. We went on a Friday night (fairly late), and they had two dedicated bartenders The cocktails were fun and were beautifully crafted. Most were served in novelty glassware. You can order classic cocktails, but both Kanpai and Hando offer a variety of signature cocktails. Most having some sort of Japanese or Asian fusion. They have beer, wine, and extensive sake list, as well as green tea and other nonalcoholic options The cocktails were tasty. The only one I was iffy on was their Espresso martini. It was poured from a machine and I guess there were having issues with it. The presentation was phenomenal. There was a roasted marshmallow garnish. The drink itself was far too Smokey in flavor than I like, or at least in terms of my espresso martinis The Yuzu Kosho fries were incredible. The flavors really hit the spot. The Okinawa Potato salad was both questionable to looks and and to eat lol. This purple mound of potato's had an interesting taste, look, and consistency. It wasn't bad, just... interesting and new Some tips: If you can't find this spot from the street, look for Handos. It's part of this restaurant Ask the bartender about the happy hour menu. And most nights they're open until 12am, but on Fridays and Saturdays they are open until 2am If you order food online (technically from Hando's) you can get 10% off using code: HANDO10. This is part of their "Hando and Chill" special Cheers!!

Our server, Camille, took our order and then would disappear for 30+ minutes at a time. At one point, when we asked where she had been, she simply said she was "walking around." Her overall approach to serving us felt extremely nonchalant and inattentive. The atmosphere also made us feel as though the level of attention you receive depends on how much you're spending--particularly whether you're purchasing bottles. The servers seemed more focused on creating a bottle-service experience than providing attentive restaurant service. It gave the evening a very transactional, "pay for attention" feeling rather than genuine hospitality. What really sealed the experience for us happened after we had already paid our bill. A host approached our table and essentially said, "Can you leave now? We need to seat someone right now." There was no gracious transition, no "thank you for dining with us," and no polite explanation--just an abrupt request to leave. For a restaurant with such a beautiful ambiance and good food, the service and hospitality were incredibly disappointing. Guests should feel welcomed and valued from the moment they sit down until the moment they leave, regardless of whether they're ordering bottles.

I've only tried the Pepperoni Madness and Fancy Backpacker. The crust is perfectly thin and the toppings pair well together. I would also recommend adding pepperoni to the Fancy Backpacker. Gypsy Poet is always consistent with the taste and service, you can always expect a good experience in both aspects. I think it definitely lives up to the title of having the best pizza in Houston and is one of my favorite go-to dinner spots!

We ordered the Pepperoni Madness ($17.99), which is topped with hot honey and was delicious. We also got the Cappellone ($17.99), which comes with house tomato sauce, fior di latte, mozzarella, portobello mushroom caps, shallots, and Italian sausage. It was equally delicious. The dough had a nice chew, and the crust kept that consistency throughout. This was the only pizza spot we hit up during our Houston trip, and I'm glad we chose this place. I would definitely recommend it if you're in the mood for quality, artisan-style pizza. * Indoor tables are first come first serve

My friend was celebrating her birthday and recommended this place for steak night. Amexicun, which…read morewe had tried before at White Oak Social, was there that Friday night. We like Amexicun. It's located right at 19th St. and Shepherd near the light. There's a small angled parking lot that can be tight when people park along the fence. It looks like a cute tiny A-frame home with a few patio tables in the front. The inner area has about 6-7 high tables. It's nice and clean inside. The vibe feels similar to H-Town Brewing Co. but on a smaller scale. You can also sit at the bar. I didn't really like the high tables/chairs. They're not as comfortable. It was hot out, and there are mosquitos, so we sat inside. I ordered the salmon plate for steak night. The drinks here are ok, and since I don't really drink, I was looking for mocktail options. In this era, most places have mocktail options with brand alternatives like Ritual, Seedlip and Lyre's or at the least, something with juice, Topo Chico and simple syrup. The female bartender made me a NA margarita which was great. I liked that she didn't make it too sweet or too tart which happens with mocktails that don't have alternatives and are mostly juice or lemon. On the other hand, when I ordered a second, the guy bartender made it too sweet. I didn't like his version. For the alcoholic versions, they seem to have good cocktails, wine, beer and flights. They also have daily specials. Aside from the steak night, they don't serve food here. It wouldn't be my first choice of bars in this area.

It's worth a stop for their $1 Tiny Tini's. I tried all three flavors; the Espresso martini, lemon…read moredrop, and Cosmo- and for just a buck, each 2 ounce sip packed with plenty of flavor.

The drinks were pretty gross... tasted a bit like cleaning solvent. You know things you hope they use to clean the glasses not make drinks out of... oh and it took 30 minutes to get the bad drinks even when the place wasn't very full. The Spanish charcuterie board was good. I'd say that was the most positive aspect of the place besides the decor. Music was really bad, crowd was pretty mixed... 21 year olds up to 69 year olds. Interesting place to people watch for sure. Overall the place was pretty boring and it was a Saturday night. Seems meant to be more of a "pregame" place than a destination. I don't quite know, but I do know I won't be back. Oh and they don't show you a receipt for your bill. They take your card in advance to start a tab and then when you're ready to close out they come back with a handheld machine and hand you the device with the screen that shows the amount and the tip percentages. Based on the other reviews about high fees I'm assuming this is a calculated, deliberate effort. Very shady. Just no all around to this place. read more

This place needs a new name. Best retards, seems more apt. The owner has no clue what they are doing here! It's like someone went on vacation once and thought they'd recreate a lounge but couldn't remember the deets. Please note, a lounge doesn't play loud bad club music. Oh and so many ugly people. They let anyone and everyone in. In a way they are doing community service - nobody wants to go home with any of the ugly dudes they seem to attract like flies! Keeping everyone celibate! read more

The stunning attention to detail on the decor is a must see, and the overall ambiance for after-work cocktails and a night out is unbeatable.

This place is so much fun, either for casual drinks or an all-nighter.

Weekends definitely get busy here, but the energy is nonstop. The bartenders handle the crowd with ease and make great drink recommendations. If you're looking for something more chill, I'd still recommend coming here on a weekday during the day too. Drink wise I really liked their Good Will which was like a miso banana old fashioned. I also asked to make me something off menu, and I had a riff on a Bee's Knees. 10/10 recommend Donna's! The only small downside here is parking, but honestly parking is never the best in the Heights. If you come early enough, they do have a couple parking spots in front, otherwise it's street parking. But don't let this stop you from enjoying Donna's, it's worth it! Cheers!

We waited until the hype died down before checking out Donna's. The atmosphere lived up to the…read moretrendy, nostalgic vibes with vinyl records and moody lighting. Unfortunately, the experience left us wanting more. Donna's was packed when we arrived, so we waited by the bar before finding a couple of open seats. A server was quick to come by and take our drink order, but the wait for our drinks took even longer than it would've been to simply order directly from the bar. That really threw off the pacing of the night and made it impossible to settle into the experience. The drink menu also felt limited and wasn't as enticing given its connection to sister bar Anvil. Perhaps, this recent drink rotation didn't hit the mark, but Second Wind, East of Nowhere, Scenic Route, Moda Velha all felt underwhelming. That being said, the next menu rotation could be a hit and we'd be willing to give Donna a revisit.

A very small parking lot, but mostly street parking in the neighborhood, be careful. Sometimes he has security gaurd working out front, which is nice for women to get to and from there cars at night. High prices $25ish cocktails, but also upscale so it's a little justified. The owner is wonderful, Laundry (sp). Nigerian American with lots of hospitality and bar experience. Very friendly and kind. It's fairly new. He has a brief signature cocktail menu. Of note he does not offer tap water at this time, if you need water with your cocktail you would have to buy bottled water. I don't know if that will change, or if that will be his standard moving forward, but wanted yall to know. The owner also bartends and he has employee bartenders as well. Drinks- I had the Sunlight whisperer first and then the Gold Standard. Both drinks were nice, more subtle flavors than I am use to. But I enjoyed them. We also had the popcorn and that was a nice bar snack. He does have events there sometimes. There was an Afro beatz happy hour on one Sunday in July but it was a ticketed event, which we didnt know we just showed up only to have to leave. You couldn't just show up. That's ok though.

Anyone who knows me understands I tend to avoid the corporate or heavy investor funded bars. I will…read morereluctantly go to them with friends, but I prefer local joints that I can support. The types of places that combine the atmosphere I'm looking for: 1) has a good selection of beer, preferably local brewers; 2) some wine or craft cocktails for different preferences; 3) has a food menu, permits outside food, or brings in food trucks/pop-ups; 4) a laid back vibe that welcomes families and doesn't have the air of pretentiousness; and lastly; 5) a patio for the small windows of nice weather we have in Houston, or just anytime we want to bring along our four legged friends. I've rarely ran across an outdoor patio that doesn't permit pets and if they do restrict them, it's not worth my business. To that end, this spot ticks a lot of boxes. For those who aren't into the Houston F&B scene as much, Robin Berwick is the creative mind behind this spot. If you've ever visited a caffeine themed coffee and bar in the midtown area, you've been to another long standing establishment of hers. When Berwick's opened roughly over a year ago, I knew this would be a spot I'd enjoy. This spot tows the line well, it's not a dive bar, it's not pretentious, and it has the neighborhood bar feel that welcomes those looking for a great cocktail, a simple beer, or just some good vibes with family, friends, or kids. It feels like if a laid back tiki bar combined with a rustic feel. Living nearby, I think it fits the area. Food & Drink - 4.5* They have burgers, wings, friends, salads. All the food is good and I definitely recommend grabbing a bite during your visit. I particularly like their burgers and always grab a cocktail to go along with it. Service - 4* I've had mixed results, sometimes the attention to detail and service times are really good. Others they can be a little long or the sense their focus is elsewhere. Cost - 4* They used to have solid specials but they have dropped off over time. As an example, there used to be BOGO burgers on Wednesdays from 4-9 pm. Then it was 50% off. That's now only 25% off on Wednesday and only from 4-7 pm. They also had half price margaritas and frozen las brujas. This is now 25% off. Tuesday's was half price French 75s and Sazeracs. That's now 25% off. Thursday's used to be BOGO wings, $3 pacificos, and half price daiquiris. That is also now just 25% off wings, daiquiris, and cabana crushes. Fridays is industry night. They offered 25% off the entire food menu from 10 pm-12 am, now it's only 11 pm-12 am and only for the sandwich. Look, I worked in the industry, I know it's tough. I get that it's really tough for bars in Houston to make the margins work when the burdens seem to continue to rise. Landlords particularly are brutal /rant. It's even tougher when a bar is just getting their feet under them. This neighborhood has seen a lot of great additions in the last couple of years and the specials had us visiting more often, particularly when they ran til 9 pm. We now can't make it as often with the cutoff at 7 pm. Ultimately we were spending more time and money during the past visits, but I'm sure the overall margins were thinner for them. Possibly even some loss leaders to get traffic and business in the door. Now that the specials and times have tightened we elected to diversify to other bars nearby. Ultimately, they're all local and have the vibes I look for. Overall - 4.25* I highly encourage everyone to give this spot a visit if you're nearby. It's a great spot with good drinks and friendly neighborhood vibes. I do wish they would make some further adjustments to certain things that I thought differentiated them from others, the 4-9 pm specials was particularly strong as it allowed for the chance to visit more often when many folks can't make it by 7 pm. At least it isn't as bad as some bars, that I won't name that have basically limited their offering to a 1-1.5 hour happy hour (though it is half price) that runs so early that it's shocking how anyone could visit during that small window.

I went because this was the only bar open during Labor Day when I had guest visiting. So I would say it's a pretty nice location, considering the fact that it is always consistently open. They had a good menu with different cocktails that were fun and fruity. Otherwise, I did also see people could order coffee at the bar and have different espresso drinks. It looks like the drink that I ordered is also no longer on the menu. The bar prides itself on having a rotating meal changing menu so I think that's a lot of fun when it comes to trying new drinks and new combinations and it truly shows the artistry of the bartender. There was the option of both indoor and outdoor seating. The interior was more of a dimmer, elegant and darker tone. I can see it being pretty classic if you were to go at night time. The bar set up was really beautiful and they had different 2 to 4 seating wooden tables. Overall, the inside would probably only fit around 20 people. I was very sad because we couldn't sit outside. The day before it had rained so every outdoor seating was wet. But I was told that they had a beautiful seating outside with a garden and a pool. Service was good. The bartender came out of the bar to take orders, give menus and give you the check. I will say that it got really busy at the end and it took a while to get our check. There's only one or two bartenders working at one time so if there's multiple people with different drinks that are ordered, it will take a little bit longer. There is both valet parking and also street parking in the neighborhood nearby.

Not hard to find, it's located to the right as you walk in. What brought us here is that it's listed as one of the top 50 bars in Houston in Houstonia Magazine. Service (3/5): While we had a waitress, she was slow to greet us and slow to check up on us. It's a small bar and there isn't a ton of seating so it's not like she was overwhelmed. For a fancy hotel, you expect better. Maybe sitting at the bar is better than sitting at some seats as we did. Ambiance (4/5): The Colombe d'Or is a beautiful hotel and Bar No. 3 reflects that. It's an elegant spot to grab a drink, although small. Food (N/A): While there are expensive items on the menu, I had dinner earlier that night so I was on a liquid diet. Drinks (3/5): Bar No. 3 is known for its cocktails so I focused on the cocktail list. The list isn't large but it features a nice selection. Like the food, you're going to pay a premium. I enjoyed my adult beverage but felt like it was a bit overpriced. Hitting up hotel bars isn't a common occurrence in Houston unless you're a traveler. For Bar No. 3 to be the only hotel bar on Houstonia's top 50 is a feat in itself.
