Axelrad is one of those spots that show up on every must visit in Houston list. After visiting a…read morefew times I can see why. Vibes are chill, beer selection is vast, they have some nice frozen drinks and cocktails as well. There's almost always some sort of event going on so it's a nice place to just stop by and check out if you have some time to chill. I've liked that there are random events and they can be hit or miss. Sometimes there's interesting musical guests, sometimes there are various vendors, sometimes there's a movie night. Regardless, I know I have a pretty good time and will be treated kindly by all the staff.

The place is huge,…read morewith tons of outdoor seating, covered areas, hammocks, swinging seats, and even a stage for live music and events. It's a great spot to hang out with a big group of friends. They have a pretty impressive beer selection, probably 30 to 40 beers on tap, along with cocktails, margaritas, and other drinks. There's also a Luigi's Pizzeria right next door that you can access from the outdoor seating area, and they frequently have pop-up food vendors. When we visited, there was a little taco stand set up as well. The place was absolutely packed when we went because they were hosting some sort of event with vendors and even a best-dressed fairy costume contest. I've been here for other events where they've had mechanical bulls and all sorts of different activities. It seems like there's always something fun going on. The bartenders were friendly, and while there was a bit of a line to get drinks, it wasn't too bad considering how crowded it was. My one complaint is their strange ID and wristband system. Instead of checking IDs when people walk in, staff periodically come around to groups that are already sitting down and hanging out to check IDs and hand out wristbands. I understand they transition to a 21-and-up bar later in the evening, but the system just feels a little awkward and disorganized. Overall, Axelrad is a really fun bar with a great atmosphere, plenty of seating, and a good selection of drinks. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it as a sports bar since there aren't many TVs, but if you're looking for somewhere to hang out with friends, enjoy some drinks, and maybe catch an event, it's a great option. Every time I've been here, it's been a lively and enjoyable experience.

I have been to Wicklow Heights a handful of times over the past year. They offer fancy cocktails in…read morea laid back setting. They have a small indoor area and a huge outdoor area with couches and benches. The patio is great when the weather is nice, though they have fans and heaters depending on the season. The patio has a huge screen which is great for catching a game. At night, they turn the music up inside so it can be hard to have a conversation. The menu has a lot to offer. The bartenders are very friendly and make great drinks. I'm a fan of the variations on the classic G&T. On my last visit, I had an espresso martini and it was excellent! I was pleasantly surprised at how good they made it. I have yet to order a drink that I did not like. They have a small parking lot out front. There's also street parking. Given that it's near a few bars, parking can be difficult during peak times. Wicklow Heights is great for a stop on a bar crawl or for a chill afternoon with friends.

Visited for the first time for their Galentine's themed bingo night. It was super crowded when I…read morehad arrived around 6:30 so if you're trying to get a table I'd recommend coming suuuper early. They have happy hour until 7pm. The drinks weren't bad and I think they have a nice selection of cocktails to choose from. The rundown for bingo: It was supposed to start at 7pm, but I don't think we started until almost 7:30. Not sure if that's normal or if it was just that night. They'll make an announcement for you to go grab a bingo board from designated spots and it was quite a fight to get a board, which is one per person. I think we played a total of 5-6 rounds with breaks in between and each round is a different goal (e.g. regular bingo, making an X, blackout, etc) with a different prize and the prizes gradually get bigger. Since the tables were all full, lots of people were either sitting around the stage, or on the turf, or standing on the back patio. Parking was super crowded. They have a lot which was definitely filled so I had to resort to street/neighborhood parking. They made announcements that if you park at the establishment next door you WILL get towed (they had tow trucks coming in the whole night I feel)

The food was just as impressive - fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully put together, with plenty of options to pair with drinks. The outdoor patio is a huge plus, especially when the weather is nice, and adds to the overall experience. Overall, Wooster's Garden strikes a great balance between a laid-back vibe and high-quality food and drinks. Definitely a spot I'd recommend and look forward to visiting again!

As one of the most popular places in Midtown over the past decade plus, Wooster's Garden came to an…read moreend earlier this month after ownership (#1) decided that it was time to go. 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.

The food menu looked intriguing, so I'll definitely come here again to try!

D&T has a lot of what I love in a simple old school icehouse bar. It's one of those low key…read moreneighborhood bars that want to go to anytime. It has the vibe when you step in that what's going on in the world pauses, a place to unwind, and just about everyone you run into in these types of spots are laid back looking for that same soul in a bar. If you're the type that wants packed, lively and busy, this ain't it (aside from big sports events). The original D&T icehouse first opened in the 1960s and closed in 2012. Then after acquisition and renovation, reopened in May 2013. There's been changing of ownership in that time, but the spirit of what this bar has been about remains. There is a parking lot across the settees and you can generally find parking around the place, which is always nice when you're just seeking to catch up with some friends and watch a game. To that end, the bar is long with a good amount of seating, there's also tables throughout and a large patio, mostly covered, if you have a pet or care to take in some sunshine. They typically have fans running in the summer and some heaters in the cooler months. There are TVs throughout which always have at least one sports event on. They are typically open in the afternoon and close around midnight aside from the weekends, when they stay open later. Food & Drink - 4.25* They have a solid selection of craft beer on tap, a good amount of local brewers, which is great. They also carry a selection of canned beer as well. There is a full bar if you are looking for something a little stronger or are not a fan of beer. As for food, it's a bit more of a roll of the dice. This has changed with time, but generally there's pop up vendors that will visit. You are also welcome to DoorDash or bring whatever you like in as well. Service - 4.25* Ive never had any trouble going into the bar and getting service. They don't have servers in the traditional sense, it's your typical dive bar where you want something, go get it at the bar. On occasion you'll have someone come out and grab an empty glass and they may ask if you want anything. Cost - 4.75* Always subjective but getting some good craft beer at a typical tap price is about as simple as it gets. There's a few that could be adjusted but I've never noticed anything too out of market norms. Overall - 4.5* The only knock I would give D&T over other nearby neighborhood bars in the area is the fact there is a more consistent food setup at most of the others - whether that is in house food or a good rotation of pop-ups. That said, this neighborhood "dive" bar offers just about everything I want in a spot. Local beer, great patio space, plenty of tables for friends or family, local sports, and non-pretentious vibes for those who tend to prefer being away from the massive crowds.
