    Pina reliever
    Anna K.

    What a hidden gem! I don't get to lower downtown too often and can't keep up with all the places. I went to a post-event happy hour at Lily & Bloom and wasn't sure what to expect. It was a very cute, historical/antique looking - yet upscale - cozy bar with a second level balcony. Kind of a speakeasy vibe. The drinks were all craft cocktails (plus I think wine and beer) and the drink menu was very impressive. No one in our group could decide so thankfully the bartenders all made excellent recommendations. I loved my Pina Reliever. I was a little like an non-sweet pina colada, but very sophisticated and had a definite kick. Service was very thorough and professional, but the drinks do take a little while to make and garnish. It was that was across the board with all of the cocktails. We were there on an off night (Sunday) so there was street parking available and the area was fairly quiet. I'm sure they are crowded on weekends and perhaps during weekday happy hours. Only somewhat negative was that they don't have any snacks at all. However, they will let you order or bring food from neighboring businesses so you could easily Favor over a few bites if you're famished!

    A-mazzzinnnggg bar tenders and environment! I love Ben so much! We asked for pretty, innovative drinks. Every drink was made special and amazing. At the end, he made me a zodiac sign drink at the end and it was amazing. He literally climbed the ladder to make the perfect Drink! Super recommend x 10 guys, talk to him and find your best drink!

    The bubbly cocktail. Fresh.

    Came across this place for Happy Hour and while visiting Houston. I would go again. Drinks were great. The Paloma was Fresh, the bubbly was delish, and the bartender Chase even made me a cocktail off the menu that was incredible. The place is quaint. Super chill. Can be a after-work drink location or even a date spot. Great ingredients. Friendly staff. Great options.

    Phenomenal Service! Great drinks, even better environment!

    Ask Tamara for the "Human" excellent service and an even better drink! Wonder time for my first night in Houston! Lilly & Bloom is a dive beer located in the heart of Downtown Houston!

    Oh! I haven't reviewed Lilly & Bloom yet?! I love this bar, I love the music and the special DJs they bring on in here. Hosted my boyf's birthday here two months ago and everyone had a blast :)

    A cool bar located at the end of night club row. They've got a bunch of comfortable couches and lounge chairs. An impressive selection of spirits and beers. The bartender 'Danger' (how could you forget a name like that?) was super friendly and helpful in telling us more about downtown and where (and where not) to go. A chill place that is geared more towards the 30 something crowd.

    Now THIS is a speakeasy. I had no idea that I was going to get this experience when coming to…read moreHouston, but I couldn't be happier. The origami ceiling, lively bar, friendly staff, unique cocktails, fun bathroom, and photo booth in the corner made for an unforgettable experience. My friend said it was the busiest he had ever seen the place, and it was loud. But we got some awesome drinks that I swore I could've taken pics of -- the lighting was a little crazy, so I think I ultimately changed my mind with that. One was the periscope which was a refreshing and summery gin drink... And I think I tried the naked and famous too because I like mezcal. I had already eaten so I skipped the restaurant the speakeasy's connected to, but I cannot wait to return to Houston outside of a Con so I can really go all out on exploring. It was an amazing way to end my first night!

I ordered the Side to the Sun Rises (gin, yuzu, mint, cucumber) which was light, refreshing, and well balanced. I would recommend it if you enjoy gin-based cocktails with a slightly fruity flavor. My friends really enjoyed their drinks as well. They have all day happy hour on Sundays/Mondays. We did not get a chance to try the food, but the menu looked great. Overall, a fun spot with great vibes and definitely worth checking out!

I had…read moreheard good things for years, and I remember driving past it a couple times and not seeing it or any signage. Even this time the GPS took us to an entrance that had us going the wrong way down a one-way, but we eventually figured it out I will say that the parking isn't all that great, but we were able to find a spot. If the parking lot is full you should be able to find street parking nearby Kanpai Club is a sister location to Handos. They share a kitchen and you can walk through an inside door access either. You can find the same cocktails and bites from Handos on the Kanpai menu, but there's also additional drinks and bites The bar feels like a Japanese Izakaya. It's a narrow space resembling a Japanese outdoor bar. It's intimately lit and well decorated. We did have to wait for two spots to open up, but that didn't take too long The bartenders were friendly, professional, and efficient. We went on a Friday night (fairly late), and they had two dedicated bartenders The cocktails were fun and were beautifully crafted. Most were served in novelty glassware. You can order classic cocktails, but both Kanpai and Hando offer a variety of signature cocktails. Most having some sort of Japanese or Asian fusion. They have beer, wine, and extensive sake list, as well as green tea and other nonalcoholic options The cocktails were tasty. The only one I was iffy on was their Espresso martini. It was poured from a machine and I guess there were having issues with it. The presentation was phenomenal. There was a roasted marshmallow garnish. The drink itself was far too Smokey in flavor than I like, or at least in terms of my espresso martinis The Yuzu Kosho fries were incredible. The flavors really hit the spot. The Okinawa Potato salad was both questionable to looks and and to eat lol. This purple mound of potato's had an interesting taste, look, and consistency. It wasn't bad, just... interesting and new Some tips: If you can't find this spot from the street, look for Handos. It's part of this restaurant Ask the bartender about the happy hour menu. And most nights they're open until 12am, but on Fridays and Saturdays they are open until 2am If you order food online (technically from Hando's) you can get 10% off using code: HANDO10. This is part of their "Hando and Chill" special Cheers!!

    On my recent trip to Houston!…read more When I was searching for dowtown bars and dancing, Behind Closed Doors popped up. It looked dark, clubbish, and fun (exactly what I was looking for) and I couldn't wait to come here. After a 25 minute Uber ride we were downtown and walking to our destination. At first we could not find it but thankfully a nice gentlemen showed us where it was. Upon walking in, darkness with these bright lights paved our way. We sat down at the bar, but realized dancing did not start until 10pm. The bartender came over and said to us "we have a speakasy behind door #3" we were like WHAT! Let's go. So, we walked down the dark hallway and pushed open door #3 (hence the name) to find this super cool speakeasy bar. Dim lights, really modern decor, comfy suede chairs and best of all, some really great cocktails. If you are ever in Downtown Houston, I highly recommend you coming here. I promise you will have the best time. We did not stay for dancing.

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.

All were great but I especially loved the carrots which were cooked and seasoned perfectly. For my main course I had the chicken and dumplings, husband got the NY strip, our friends shared the whole fish and we had the cabbage and crab rice as sides. Everyone was very happy with both their main courses and the side dishes.

Food was delicious but veeeery indulgent. We will be back.
