    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!

    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!

    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.

Of the 4 pizzas we tried, my personal ranking: 1. Spicy Goat 2. Duck Duck Shroom 3. Heirloom Margherita 4. Sweet & Spicy Pepperoni. Service was also disorganized and a little slow. I'd come back if I'm craving that pretzel.

The interior is dimly lit with a variety of interesting pieces of decor. One thing that I love is this used to be an old bank, and the location has gone through a handful of owners and bars, but the old bank vault still remains, and is even an area where you can play games and sit and enjoy your beverages They have board games, a lane for darts. There's also a popcorn cart in the middle of the bar with complimentary popcorn The staff is fairly pleasant and efficient. The drinks were fine. The ambiance just wasn't my thing. It was fairly dark and the bar, darts area, and a couple other spots just felt crowded and congested. This is also a Rice Owls bar, and many of the clientele are rice students or alumni, and when we went it was very "bro-y" for lack of a better term Come tips: If you can, get reservations for the speakeasy that is located directly above the Owl Bar. Much better vibes, drinks, and service Cheers!!

It shares a lot with other businesses and parking wasn't an issue when we went during the day. Inside is dark with an old bar feel to it. I believe this used to be an old bank and the original vault is still there. You can go in there and chill in a lounge like atmosphere. We ordered drinks and sat out on the spacious patio. I started off with an Old Fashioned. It was strong but tasty. What I didn't like was the used of regular ice as opposed to a proper, large ice cube. We then switched to espresso martinis which was done very well here. Overall, this is a solid spot in the Rice Village area. I'd come back if in the area.

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.
