Burgers, Lemon Pepper Wings, Mimosas
Taylor N.

Came here on a Sunday for lunch with my girlfriend! We ordered a bottle of prosecco to mix with some orange juice, and it turned out to be a much better deal than buying individual glasses. Since it was football Sunday, they had game day deals including 12 wings for $10! The wings were juicy and flavorful, not the best I've ever tasted but still good. The fries were perfectly crispy and thin. The burger was slightly dry and the bun could've been toasted/warmed up. Our server was the absolute sweetest, he was extremely attentive and helpful. We were able to sit outside on that beautiful Sunday and enjoy the sun. They have a TV outside so you can still watch the game. I'm surprised this place wasn't more packed! I'd definitely recommend.

Big fan of Jethro's! The menu is small, cocktails are great and music is always a vibe.

This reminds me of a more upscale college bar with great cocktail specials and roomy booths! Apparently, dogs are welcome indoors, too. The patio is spacious and there's plenty of parking in the adjacent parking lot. The fact that they have happy hour on Saturdays until 7pm makes them an instant winner in my book -- the espresso martini was delightful and the frozen paloma was refreshing. The bartenders were attentive and nice, too! :)

Pregame before the BIG GAME!

I stopped here for a quick drink & bite before going elsewhere for the FIFA watch game. Had a beer and these ravioli as appetizer (reminded me of the Zios ones they used to have). Bartenders were nice and I loved the dark-grunge vibe on the inside. Will return soon

Taking a round of shots with my ladies

Stopped into this bar after brunch with my friends for my birthday. We had a great time. The vibe was great. The decorations inside are so nice and our bartender was phenomenal. It was my birthday, so the bartender asked what kind of shot I want to and my friend and I were like something fruity but cool. So he made up a drink that tasted like a starburst and also a cute little show by setting it on fire and sprinting. It was something that gave it a nice little toasted smell and taste. We liked it so much that the whole group ended up getting an order of them as well. We will definitely be stopping in again next time we're in the area.

Cool casual bar/ lounge/chill vibe. Dark, low light. Loud R&B music playing. Seating options are: Bar, bar high top, booth, couch & outdoor patio seating. Cocktails are unique and quite good. No smoke- loved the coconut in this. Actually a little sweet, a very tasty enjoyable cocktail. Yardy know - like a variation of a margarita. It's good. Well balanced. Not your dad's old fashion - it definitely tastes like an old fashion. The hibiscus is just an addition to the old fashion flavor profile. Matcha ma call it - would nvr have ordered this but someone bought it for me. I've never had matcha tea before so I can't compare but this drink was surprisingly just a tasty cocktail. I don't even like mint & I enjoyed the drink. I like the vibe of this spot. I popped in for pre-dinner drinks so I didn't eat. But the owner told me his smash burger was voted best in Houston. I'll have to come back & try it. Before 7pm, smash burger & fries are $7 everyday!

parking available on both sides of bar plus across the street

A fantastic, little neighborhood bar with free parking. Staff is welcoming and if you're lucky enough to get Manny at the bar he can mix up any cocktail you want... even the off menu classics! I had the HH chocolate old fashioned and then off menu Paper plane, loved them both. Tried the $7 burger & fries before 7p and... wow! Burger was well seasoned, great sauce, and the bun is excellent. The fries- hot, crisp, perfectly salted! This is a small bar, so be mindful. It's not another large, mega bar. The vibe is cozy, welcoming neighbor. I loved it and can't wait to come back!

Absolutely love the vibe, the hipster decor, the music and the drinks are phenomenal. Dropped in before valentines dinner and didn't want to leave. Their house Old Fashioned is a great twist to the classic cocktail. I'm a Mezcal fan and the two on the menu worked for me. The bartenders make you feel welcome and offer an explanation for anything you are contemplating. They have an inviting patio which offers a great open air experience. Parking might be a challenge if not lucky enough to find a spot on premise. Overall, Jethro's is worth going out of your way to experience.

Not Your Dad's Old Fashioned
Brian T.

Review #300! Jethro's gets the honor. A great neighborhood cocktail spot that's great for a date night or just a night out with friends. Parking is available in the small lot directly in front, the lot across the street, or along the surrounding streets. I've never had issues finding parking between these three options. Before 7pm every day, they offer a $7 special for burger and fries. It's a smashburger and is surprisingly decent for a $7 combo with fries, at a cocktail bar! I've told myself that I'm keeping this option in my back pocket for evenings that I feel too lazy to make my own food. Heck, that's even cheaper than fast food in today's world. The cocktails here are all great. The Cafe Con Ron is their version of an espresso martini and I've liked it. The Not Your Dad's Old Fashioned is their version of an OF with a bit of sweetness to it due to the whiskey being infused with hibiscus. Honestly not totally my jam so they were able to make me a Buffalo Trace old fashioned and I liked that a lot. The wine selection is also decent - on a night I wasn't feeling cocktails, I got a glass of their house red wine and had no complaints with it! The staff here has been friendly on all of my visits. Manny especially provides top notch service with a smile - I try to look for him to make my drinks whenever I come. Ask for him too - he's extremely nice! I have come here for Drag Bingo night (one Wednesday a month) and it is so much fun. Persephone is an excellent host and provides the best entertainment with prizes for the winners from the bar. Jethro's is a great spot to come chill with friends or a date over cocktails in a dark intimate setting. I'll surely be back often and while I love their $7 burger special, need to branch out one of these days to try other food items on their menu.

Not your dad's old fashioned
Anokhy D.

We came late on a Friday night, found street parking immediately, and were able to sit in a booth of our choice without waiting. I was surprised this place wasn't packed given all the recent social media hype about it, but wasn't mad about being able to hear friends across the table. There was a live dj that night, the drinks were made quickly at the bar, and I enjoyed the overall vibe. We got the No Smoke (smokiness added from the mezcal) and Not your dad's old fashioned (strong). I also appreciated the pricing. Specialty cocktails cost money to make but the recent spike in cocktail pricing when the output does not necessarily meet the input has been too damn high in Houston! So shoutout to Jethro's for understanding what market price means and delivering on it. Will be back!

Sabrina R.

Saw online that they were decorated for spooky season and couldn't wait to give it a try. Went for happy hour with coworkers and absolutely loved it! The decor was fab, the drinks were great, and the burger was deeeeelicious! I ordered the Sweet like Peach Tea and the Matcha-Ma-Call-It. Both so so good! Friend ordered the margarita and said it was nice and strong. We both ordered the $7 burgers before $7. The fries and burger were so good, I'm still thinking about them. The icing on the cake was the tarot card reader! We were about to leave when my friend pointed out the tarot card reader. Had an interesting $20 mini read. Great experience at Jethro's!

Chante N.

love jethro's down! every time i visit, it's a great time! this is an exceptional craft cocktail bar. for the meat eaters, they have a burger and fries for $7 before 7p. their happy hour is also decent. there is parking in a free lot across the street. i would recommend giving jethro's a visit! bonné santé p.s. steer clear of the caesar salad... if you're a vegetarian just get the hummus or fries.

Cheeseburger
Taylor H.

I went to HH and you have to try the cheeseburger and fries! It's $7 on HH and more than worth it. The best is toasted and buttered, burger smashed to perfection, and the pickles are fresh (more cucumber than pickles). Now I did have to rate a 4 instead of a 5 because the drinks were just Ok. They do allow children till 6.

Within the first ten minutes of entering, we had met not only a wonderful host but our server and one of the managers. Their casual check-ins were appropriate and appreciated, never feeling fake. Their restaurant is an upscale casual and simply decorated with an impressive bar and food menu. The meal was a combination of individual and shared dishes. I ordered the Ensalada Mixta 5/5 was great but perhaps not large enough to share, so get your own. Sharing the large plate of Paella Mariscos 4/5 was delicious but the hanger steak 5/5 is absolutely amazing. The wine selection is great offering something for everyone with flights available. The overall experience made for a fantastic birthday celebration and I'm ready for my encore visit to relive that great vibe. I'm betting the staff will ensure it's a special treat.

Roasted cauliflower - 4.5/5. In a Wonderful sauce. Touch of lemon flavor. Little crunchy. Good! Ensalata Mixta- 5/5. Salad dressing vinegarette was wonderful. Vinegarette dressing is terrific. Slightly spicy. Olives are soooo fresh. I didn't recognize some of the olives. They were super tasty. Beware they have pits. Hangar steak - 4.5/5. Flavor is great. Tender. Ordered it med rare (MR). Not even sure if it came out MR but it was just tasty. Spicy Beef Empanadas- 5/5. A touch of spiciness pepper that lingers in your mouth. Just right. Flavorful. Flaky bread. Really good. Seafood paella - 4/5. The seafood was cooked just right and flavors were good with the rice. Staff: The staff was great. Our server was attentive & gave menu recommendations. Several managers checked on us. The general manager, Andrew stopped by the table to ensure all was well. Zac, the drink manager, also was super helpful helping pick my wine. He let me sample 2 choices prior to making my selection. I decided to get a flight so I told him what I liked & he selected & brought me a sparkling, white & red per my description of preferences. Also, I saw where they gave a birthday sangria where you order sangria & they pour it down your throat. I wasn't close enough to snap a pic/video but it was quite a thing at one of the celebrating tables. It was my husband's birthday but that was not an option for him.Lol. The atmosphere is elevated casual. It's lively. It was a very enjoyable date night, birthday celebration night. I absolutely recommend it & will absolutely return!

I experienced this side of the business during the early phase of the Covid pandemic back in 2020. At the time, during lockdown, going to a wine bar or wine shop just wasn't top of mind. However, I had researched a Cabernet Franc (red wine) called Nicolas Reau Enlèvement Demandé Anjou [Vintage year: 2017]. Reau is kind of a rebel working in the Loire Valley of France who is interested in producing organic, biodynamic wines that are essentially closer to nature and processed differently--more artisanal, so to speak. I read about this wine and wanted to find a bottle locally, which wasn't an easy task as I recall. This is where Vinology comes in. I'm not much of a wine drinker, but had to have a bottle of this excellent wine. Like many people, I preferred to stay indoors during the early part of the pandemic and was kind of nervous about going out. When I called Vinology, I expressed my dilemma, and the guy on the other end of the phone came up with a great solution. He offered to deliver the bottle of wine I purchased to my address. I actually met him at the edge of the garage entrance to where I live. This was great, exceptional above and beyond service. I will always treasure and remember Vinology and plan to support the business more in the future. Hats off to the folks who own and run this wine establishment.

I've had my fair share of Paulie's but never had the chance to come to Camerata...until now. I had been missing out for so long! We journeyed from white to red wines throughout the night. We started out with the Babylonstoren, a chenin blanc from South Africa. We then moved into pink (rose) with the Ana Beirut - a blend of cab sauv, syrah, and tempranillo grapes with a bit of skin contact to give the wine the pink color. Lastly we ordered the Guelbenzu - a red blend of tempranillo, cab sauv, syrah, and graciano. This full-bodied red was the absolute fan favorite of the table. Food options are on the light side: meat & cheese boards, bread, and small bites. We started out with the warm bread - while it's normally served with butter, there's an option to switch that out with olive oil & herbs which is what we did. We then went for the meat & cheese platter. We couldn't decide on which meats or cheeses, so we did the option of ordering all 8! This came with 4 delicious meats and 4 tasty cheeses (from Houston Dairymaids), also with crispy fava beans, olives, pickles, and bread. This was a good amount for our group of 4 to share. Elena was our server and she was absolutely OUTSTANDING. She vibed with us throughout the night and made sure that we were well-taken care of. I loved her energy along with her vast knowledge of wines. We got plenty of good recommendations from her during our time there. I'm super sad that Houston will be losing this gem permanently at the end of the year (and even more sad that I only discovered it in the last month of its existence). While I know that owner Paulie won't be moving this venture to a new spot, I do hope a descendant of Camerata manifests itself somewhere in Houston in the coming years.

It's part of the Paulie's Restaurant brands, but completely separate from the restaurant from what I could tell. Parking is a bit difficult, but after a bit of circling we were able to find a spot and make our way in what looked like the back entrance. It was very low key, and despite the sign, the door seemed almost hidden in that back little corner. The staff seemed to have a bit of a hipster vibe-- not unexpected given the Montrose area-- but were very friendly. They offered suggestions, but let us go with what we wanted to try. There's a food menu along with the drinks, but we were heading to the restaurant next door, so we passed on grabbing food. We ended up going with a couple of glasses of red and a couple of the specialty chocolates. My wife loved her salted caramel chocolate. I enjoyed my peppermint chocolate. For the glasses of wine, I've got better at home for bottles the same price as those glasses. My wife really enjoyed the vibe, but even if this place wasn't about to close down, I'm not sure I'd be coming back here often. It's just too hard to park.

Unfortunately, after one of my classes there, I forgot my shoes that I had changed out of and I called them to see if they could look and they were very rude and hung up on me because they simply said no we can't do that. So I quickly messaged the instructor, knowing his classes were still going on, and not long after he messaged me back a picture and said are these your shoes and I'm so happy he did that because I don't trust this place to have cared, but to also have even looked after the class was over. He kindly left it with the staff there and let me know so I called and they were very rude and snappy to say "Yes OK?! we have them". I was unable to go that following week to pick them up so I went a little over a week later and I just wanted to call to confirm they were still there and the person again was very rude and simply said "YES WE ALREADY TOLD YOU A WEEK AGO THEY WERE HERE AND YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE COME TO PICK THEM UP SO IF YOU DIDN'T THEN THEY MUST STILL BE HERE!" and hung up. Since I was making the commute out there in traffic on a Friday with my daughter I decided to call back and ask that they confirm that they're still back there and the same gentleman answered, and very rudely said " LISTEN WE ARE NOT A SHOE STORE. SO NO WE ARE VERY BUSY!" and to no surprise been a surprise HUNG UP right after that. When I got there, there were tables open and the bartenders greeted me and clearly did not know. I was the same person that they had been very rudely talking to so I asked about the shoes he went and got them and I asked if he was the gentleman I had taught you on the phone and he couldn't even look me in the eye but still said "no". However, I recognized his voice and clearly knew it was him. This place is not only is very expensive for drinks and food, but the staff being the way they are no customer should ever be treated like this. I was not rude, was not angry, and yet was treated with such little respect. There are a bunch of other, really nice places with the same vibe and much nicer stuff that you can give your money to on a night out. **Update: completely disagree with your response, and the fact that you can't take ownership for the way that your staff talks to customers is exactly why I feel my review is very valid. I did not call 8 times. These were not house slippers. Also, some additional notes you made are not true.**
