If you want overpriced cute drinks and a vibe, this is the place to go…read more I came to De Fortune with my cousins for a little girls' night, and the aesthetic and ambiance are definitely the highlight. It's cute, moody, and has that feeling like you're not even in Houston anymore. It's not a big space, so it does get pretty loud between the music and everyone talking. The music was just okay. If you like house music, you'll probably enjoy it here. The DJ did mix in some popular hip-hop, R&B, and reggaeton songs throughout the night, which I appreciated. We started with shots that were really good. They tasted almost like a shot of honey, but unfortunately I can't remember the name. We all ordered the Dolce Limone next, which was sweet and refreshing. For the next round, my cousin got the Mango something, and I ordered the French Connection. The French Connection was awful. It tasted like straight-up cough syrup, and I couldn't even pretend to finish it. Our last round was Palomas, and those were good. In between drinks, we ordered the meat and cheese board. It was cute and made for a nice little snack, but there was nothing particularly special about the selection. The waitresses were nice, and overall we had a good time. I genuinely don't have much bad to say about the place other than the drinks. They're not bad across the board, but they're also nothing particularly special, especially for the price. There are definitely better cocktail lounges in Houston if you're looking for actual mixology and cocktails that justify the price.

Popped in tonight for a quick drink before our dinner reservation. We ordered the mint julep and…read morethe old fashioned. The old fashioned was a classic, smooth and easy to go down drink. The mint julep was a bit on the sweeter end, but still so refreshing! It was still pretty early in the night so it was very bright and I didn't feel like the ambiance had fully set in yet but I could see how this would be such a fun spot!

Loved it! This…read morecharming bar is located on Washington St. And the have valet (you just tip the staff member), the parking space is limited but you can also park behind and access through the back. The vibe is chill but classy, you can talk without the need to yell to be heard. Dimmed lights, cozy and intimate atmosphere, what's not to like?! They have bites and entrees, but I went for bites, the Margarita Pizza was delightful, thin crispy crust with fresh mozzarella cheese. Also got the baked Brie, I love Brie and it didn't disappoint, I just wished the bagged was toasted instead soft. I ordered a drink... PornStar Martini, and I really liked it, it was refreshing and slightly sweet. Our server was very attentive and helpful with the menu, her name.. Hope, she will make sure you had a great experience. Definitely coming back!

It is a very fancy place to get drinks and it has a nice ambience, but the only caveat is that it…read moreis connected to a hotel. 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.

On a Friday evening, as the last stop of the evening, we walked over to Bar No. 3 for a nightcap…read more Located inside the Colombe d'Or Hotel in Montrose, Bar No. 3 is their hotel bar. 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.

It's an intimate, vibey spot with a smaller menu that shares some items with its next-door neighbor, Doko.

We started off with a round of cocktails and a round of shots. The drinks were pretty good and I liked that they had some interesting flavor combinations. The lower rating is due to our server and the price. Price wise, the cocktails were a little up there but it was probably the shots that sent the bill skyrocketing (so honestly kind of our bad). I didn't catch our server's name, but he seemed to have a little 'tude about him as we asked questions or asked him to take our picture. A few remarks also felt a bit condescending. While it wasn't bad enough to ruin our night it was something that stood out to our entire party of 5

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. I love supporting black owned business, wishing this business and gentleman well!
