    Fancy's has the best happy hour food, drinks and hours! It's decorated just like the name FANCY! I stopped in with my husband for a date night and we had a good time. Bartender Emmer was great! She made the best drinks! We got the burgers, fries and oysters which were all good. I am definitely coming back for my birthday happy hour with the girls!

    I decided to celebrate the New Year here with my loved ones, and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. While the venue itself is beautiful, it was clear they were not prepared for the evening. Our tickets advertised complimentary sushi, champagne, and party favors. No sushi or party favors were ever provided, and we had to walk around just to locate the champagne. As the night was winding down, we were pressured to close out, which felt rushed. When I tapped my card, the total presented was $133, which immediately didn't seem right. I requested an itemized receipt, and it showed a total of $109 -- a number that already included gratuity. I didn't even have to point out the discrepancy; the staff member corrected it himself. This left me with the impression that I was being taken advantage of and assumed to be too intoxicated to notice the overcharge. Overall, the lack of organization and transparency overshadowed what could have been a great New Year's celebration.

    We had an event here for Houston Millennials at Fancy's. I think that they Did a great job for what the restaurant used to be. The servers were kind and respectful. And we had a lot going on that day! It was an award show they had the most patience ever for us! LOL Yeah that was a success I think mainly because of the staff. They really pulled it together. Parking was pretty simple because you can always utilize the parking lot across the street. That came in clutch for real! But the place is beautiful a lot of birth bright and deep reds and blacks and metallics. The appetizers I had were pretty tasty though I didn't indulge in many. Just the basic ones... But the TRUFFLE FRIES were my fav. They use burgundy truffle, parmesan, truffle oil, fresh herbs, and pecorino romano aioli. You can taste every single element and the flavors come together beautifully. I want to come on a day that is not super special so I can try a little bit more on the menu and not worry about how I look in my outfit! Lol. Time to unbuckle some belts next time! Until then...

    Hamachi Skewers - tasty but not for $20!

    Very beautiful esthetics. Delicious drinks. Good service. Overly priced food for the portion sizes.

    I've heard nothing but rave reviews about Fancy's, along with a very specific warning: Wednesday is the best night after 8 and make a reservation unless you enjoy standing in lines for sport. Parking is valet but I can't tell you the price because we took a ride share. The line was definitely there. My friend made a call because I don't wait, and I wasn't about to start that hobby tonight. It pays to know people. Fancy's itself is adorable: low lighting, music that matches the vibe perfectly, plenty of indoor tables, large bar in the middle, plus a cozy outdoor area with a bar and heaters so you can pretend Houston has seasons. My drink, Forbidden Love, was strong enough to make me feel something but not strong enough to make me question my life choices. The 3 Woodford Reserves on the rocks had zero complaints, so I assumed it was made right. We didn't try the food, but they offer small bites and sushi rolls. Overall, I'd definitely come back preferably with the same friend who makes the phone calls.

    Love this bar!! They have great service and amazing cocktails. Be sure to consult your bartend for recommendations. The workers are super friendly and work quickly. I'd highly recommended this place to anyone looking for good vibes and good drinks. Thank you to Fancy's for hosting our Bookclubs meeting. Cheers!

    My review for this place is currently indifferent. I've been twice once was randomly a special event for a wine release. The entire vineyard was not meant to know but I was able to mingle with some of the people there for the event. I observed specialty menu items.Orders and drinks specific to the event that I was able to partake in that were very good. The hospitality that night seemed to be on point. Meanwhile, I went on a Wednesday evening once before that had a great DJ and grapevine, but it seems like they were not ready for the crowd.\nThey were extremely long lines at the bar , so I ended up getting a table just to order a drink. After waiting about an hour I was getting up from the table to try the bar again when my drink came. The waitress did apologize, but she said all of the drinks were essentially coming from the bar.So I was waiting behind the backup line of people at the bar and everyone else who let order drinks at tables. I decided I wanted to order food but they were within one hour of closing , and I was advised that I might not get my food until close to closing , and it may not be worth it. I think this adjustment could be nicer if they had enough employees to manage the crowd. Id give it one more try.

    Incredible ambiance, cocktails, music and bites! The music was curated to fit the ambience and everybody seems to be having a great time

    I came on a Wednesday night expecting a vibe and was very disappointed. I could hear people's voices echoing from downstairs with how empty it was and the music was very quiet (not that I wanted it blaring). I'd seen their happy hour (fancy hour) menu be was looking forward to it. Turns out they do not serve a majority of the happy hour menu on Wednesday despite the happy hour being all weekdays. The music did get turned up a bit and throughout the night a total of 10 people came. However the truffle fries were very good though tasted more like garlic than truffle. I had the hamachi roll that was also good. I got the star martini and it wasn't what I expected but not bad but not good lol. All in all, maybe it would be better in a weekend when the food options advertised re available and there's a dj but don't go on a weekday.

I trust they get alot of business for people wanting to enjoy drinks before dinner. The upstairs bar, is a more intimate space, with mostly bar seating, to those wanting air conditioner with their cocktails, lol. Drinks - I started with the Daiq-quila, and it was a good start, wonderful on a summer day. Next I had the the Brenners Signature Marg which was fine. My friend really enjoyed her $$ martini. Service - was fine. Had a slight mishap with the bill, but our young strapping server got it straightened out.

They also have a very spacious second space outside on the large, beautiful patio overlooking the well manicured landscape of the surrounding bayou. Myself and a few people from my group arrived a little early for dinner at Brenner's and decided to have a cocktail while waiting. The inside bar is small, but intimate. There is some seating around the neon lit bar and some high top tables around. We didn't have a whole lot of interaction with the bartender, but he was pleasant and made a solid drink. My drink of choice was a Brenner's Old Fashioned. It was happy hour and there were drink and light bite specials. My drink was properly made and dressed and was a tad bit on the strong side. For the happy hour price, not a bad drink. As expected at a fine dining place like Brenner's, regular price drinks can be spendy. Overall, it was a nice option to have a place to sit and enjoy a drink before or after dinner. I think I would even come back to enjoy the outdoor space which seemed like a little oasis in the middle of the city.

The upstairs is couples only, but the bouncer told me that if you'd slip him $20 then you can go upstairs and try your luck. The pictures they show you are brightened. This place is nearly pitch black. And I'm not saying this to blow up anyone's spot, it probably is a great spot for couples but it just wasn't my scene, especially when I vouched that it was a good place for me and my guy friend to chill. Also, the bartender wouldn't give me and my friend the time of day. I was really excited to see how this place made drinks and they wouldn't even service me and my friend...she just was checking her social media. I might come back here one day with a girlfriend I know VERY well, but as for now I'll keep my change and go somewhere else

Clarkwood really does know what they're doing with these espresso martinis! I loved the added touch of the burnt marshmallow on mine, and the coffee seemed pretty good quality too. The second time I visited I also enjoyed their spicy watermelon margarita. Also amazing. It tasted a little bit like a spicy jolly rancher? SO good! They also let us know that if we posted and tagged them on our instagram, that we could receive a free round of shots. So, of course, me and my two friends posted to get some shots too. We were able to try the Mexican candy shot, the raspberry lemon drop shot, and the mini matcha martini shot. Honestly all were really good, but my favorite in order were the 1) raspberry lemon drop shot, 2) Mexican candy shot, then 3) the matcha martini shot. The matcha martini was good but as it's creamier, I think having it as an actual martini than a shot is more appropriate. Still, it's a great way to try a new drink and just sip on it rather than taking it as a shot. Also - the venue is so elegant and charming and such a cute spot for a date night.

Later, when I found out it was a hookah bar, I became concerned, for my friends and I are definitely foodies with high expectations when it comes to food. However, midway through our appetizers, my concerns dissipated as the oohs and aahs floated across our table. We were a party of 7, and every one of us, without exception, remarked at the deliciousness of each offering. We had the calamari (perfectly tender and crispy,) the pasta (Al dente and oh so very savory!) the hummus (the accompanying pita triangles were incredibly crisp and the dish delightful,) and the rosemary truffle fries, which were, again, perfectly crispy, and incredibly flavorful. For entrees, a couple of us had the burger (wonderful, and the bacon jam is a GAME-CHANGER.) the Cajun Alfredo (packs a punch in flavor,) the Honey Truffle Chicken (outstanding.) the Crab Fried rice (I didn't taste it, but the person who ordered it loved it,) and the Kabobs. (Again, I didn't taste them, but the person who ordered the dish said it was excellent.) The cocktails were wonderful, as well. Back to the ambience: it's certainly beautiful, airy, with tall ceilings and abundant natural light from the expansive windows. The furniture is tasteful modern-eclectic and comfortable: something else we all noticed is it was void of any odors - very fresh and clean, which is huge for a hookah bar. Service, like the food, was outstanding. Every single staffer we encountered was gracious, welcoming, and genuinely warm. We appreciated the recommendations from our server and the visits from management. So, Confessions has it all, and we will definitely be back to try more of the menu. What an awesome find!

Our waitress was super nice and attentive. Now, we walked out of there and reflected thinking -- we just got robbed. $180 for a shared entree, appetizer, side & 2 drinks is fine I guess but the quality has to match and this wasn't it. The strawberry wings had no depth in flavor just wings tossed in strawberry jam. No seasoning, no spice, no salt, no thought. Stick to the regular flavors - and fyi the strawberry will be on in your nails for the next 24 hours. The lamb Rockefeller was innovative but just didn't hit for me. Maybe if the topping was a bit more charred but it was like spinach dip on top of lamb chops. The Mac and cheese was solid, but nothing boxed Mac & cheese can't do. You're there for the ambiance, not the food. While the food is edible, for the price point you can find way better food in Houston. If I return I'd sit at the bar & get hookah with 1 appetizer.
