We found this amazing speakeasy to celebrate our 27th anniversary and when I say we found a hidden…read moregem wow! This place is located in Montgomery technically but is right next to Conroe you can see the lake driving up it was so beautiful. It's a prohibition style speakeasy with the hidden door and the ambiance is so beautiful inside with an amazing bar and just a great vibe. We loved how the waitresses were dressed in dresses from the time it was so classy and fun. And we went on a night they had live music and it was sooo good. Now let's talk about the drinks there were so many choices of cocktails bourbon whiskey you name it. I let the waitress pick mine it was something with pear and it was yummy. We both loved our drinks. My husband loved his old fashion. The food was absolutely delicious we enjoyed the crab toast and lamb lollipop and the Chilean sea bass which were all to die for. Oh and Lavendar creme brûlée for dessert. We met Rob and his wife the owners who are the nicest people and now we can't wait to come back with friends to salsa night. If you're looking for a nice dinner spot with great drinks food and music on certain nights just the best service you have to come try this location you won't be disappointed. It made our anniversary special.

We went here with high hopes, seeing a rating of 4.8. Let me tell you, this place is overpriced…read morefor the food served and the ambiance. Our waitress was admittedly new, but when our food arrived an hour and a half later, it was so disappointing. Three of us ordered ribeyes, and none of them were cooked to our order; plus, they were charred on the bottom & sides. The wagyu burger was burned as well. We also ordered a bottle of wine, but the first 3 choices were out of stock!? Really? Our choice was to jump into a $60.00 or $80.00 bottle. The service team never checked in on how our food tasted or how we were doing. It's like they knew that they ruined our dinner and experience. About this, they call it a speakeasy because the doorway is a bookcase that is as obvious as the nose on your face. The dude hosting the stand at the door, did not even ask if we enjoyed ourselves. For these prices, they should be ashamed of the food they served us. Seriously! Do not waste a dime here. I am making sure everyone I know does not make the mistake we did.

We met our son halfway from Deer Park & Nacogdoches, had lunch at the Bue Duck Saturday. Food was…read moreexcellent, service was great but slow, appears they are shorthanded. Only saw, 2 wait staff, the owner and the cook/cooks. For the amount of employees present it was understandable. I had the steak and pasta with cajun cream sauce, YUM!

South First Bar & Grill is a local favorite in downtown Lufkin. This fits the local small-town…read moreneighborhood bar to a T with the tables surrounded by all the tvs and a bar area with a stage next to it to boot. The bartenders and servers know all the locals which is evident every time me and my coworkers stop in here for happy hours or for dinner. They still give us the attention we need for drink refills and food orders. For drinks, it's mainly beer although they have hard liquor available here. I always stick with Miller Lite since it's cheap and they bring it out quick. As for food, it's mainly burgers and bar eats. The appetizers such as the wings, chips n queso, fried jalapenos, and pretzel bites w/ beer cheese are our favorites. Meanwhile, they do good burgers here which are a favorite amongst the team. Each day will have food specials such as half priced appetizers and $1 wings. Check the menu out for the full details. It's a great place to watch sports and grab drinks/eats or catch live music if it's available. This is part of our rotation whenever we're in Lufkin.

Came across this place by accident while cruising in the 83' Olds Hurst with my husband. Our plan…read morewas to just stop by for one drink before heading back home. The weather was nice and cool so we decided to have a seat outside in the patio. I liked that they had a variety of music playing in the background. One minute we were listening to hip-hop the next country. I appreciated that they didn't have it too loud either. We were able to have a nice conversation without having to raise our voices. Once seated, we were greeted by our waiter, Zachary, who was an absolute delight. I am a bit picky with drinks so I requested his recommendations and he most definitely did not disappoint. He recommended The Elderflower, which was not too strong not too sweet. The food looked tempting so we gave in and ordered the Mojorones Tacos with grilled shrimp. These tacos were bomb! I decided I wanted to try something else so ordered the beef and Brussels sliders. Whoooaah, these hit the spot. Explosion of flavors in your mouth with these. 10/10 recommend this spot and don't forget to ask for Zachary's for your waiter!

We always order a snack to have at the bar and perhaps an entree to share in the room later on but this time we decided to order the Rebellion Nachos that included Nacho Mama's Chile Con Carne or Grilled Chicken, refried black beans, jalapeños, queso, pico, guacamole, lime crema, cotija cheese, and serrano salsa. They offer a substitition of Akaushi Tenderloin for +$5. We chose the chile con carne and asked them to keep the chips in a separate container so we could use the toppings as a delicious dip. It was so much easier to enjoy in the room later and the chips did not get soggy. Anyway, that is our pro tip! The nachos were spicy and delicious. I would definitely order those again. I may have to add that special tenderloin for an extra treat. Valerie was our server and she was a breath of fresh air and was very attentive and friendly.

With the multiple screens for all things sports or the ax throwing lanes if you need to get some rage out. There is food of all kinds but I'd believe the kitchen closes at 9pm. They do offer brunch on Sundays with a make your own Bloody Mary bar, with fixins of your choosing. It's a top place for us to hang with friends or just get out for a little. No need to dress up, it's a casual place. There is also a side room to rent for parties or showers of all sorts. Great all around place to hang and get some good drinks.

The drinks were solid, and the overall atmosphere was definitely a vibe. We went on a Saturday evening, so it was pretty crowded, but once we found our spot in the Gold Room, we stayed there most of the night. Great music, great energy, and a unique concept. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something different for a night out. Not sure how it took me this long to stumble in here. Parking is what it is downtown so, there's that.

A multifaceted venue that is reminiscent of a club, lounge, and a speakeasy in one spot, Behind…read moreClosed Doors brings a kind of vibe that keeps the downtown Houston nightlife scene relevant. The lighting is dark, intimate, and behind every level and door, there is something else going on. There is an element of discovery in every corner and a new adventure on every floor. Ever watch the movie Tron? There are some areas of BCD that feel incredibly futuristic with neon-lit interiors and a legitimate sci-fi feel in some areas. The areas are ass follows: The main bar with a DJ and a spacious dance floor, the red room with a visualizer setup of big bass and pulsating lights, the gold room with a speakeasy feel and a curated cocktail menu, with the secret room that is a unique space behind a certain set of doors. Most of the music on the main bar is good, the DJs are energetic, and the bartenders are efficient while professional. It's not the easiest place to photograph anything, but the different (hidden) spaces make it a worthy destination for discovery. The one area that I don't love is that they rock automatic gratuity. I do love how diverse the crowd is on the weekends, which is a testament to the city. Drinks are solid, but the speakeasy drinks are the ones that stand out the most. The latter definitely comes at a price, but beware that some drinks may have all the presence but not enough of the substance. __________ My photos: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/behind-closed-doors-houston?userid=ysCBsXWPB-LAiewVS3jZfQ
