Lyric Market is a great addition to the Theater District and offers diiversity in vendors at this food hall. Whether you're looking to enjoy some Mexican, Indian, Chinese, or a fusion of flavors, they've got it. There's also a central bar that serves cocktails with live music and happy hour specials. Free 2 hour parking in the Lyric Garage is amazing for its location, you only need to scan the QR code on your purchase receipt on your way out. I sure wish that many other Downtown area food halls offer free parking. The open seating makes it easy for small groups to grab food and drink from various vendors and dine together. There are a variety of events throughout the week that are enticing, including $8 marg Sundays and Mondays, Trivia Tuesdays, half off wine Wednesdays, live Latin guitarist Thursdays, live jazz Fridays, and reverse happy hour on Saturdays. In addition, you'll fine special events and even classes every now and then posted on their calendar. read more

Great experience pre-show at Lyric. Happy hour is on week days from 4-6pm and is extended during the weekly trivia game if you play (and it is free to play). My husband and I had a lovely time hanging out in this casual lounge area Lyric had tucked away toward its bar before the ballet. Overall vibe of Lyric felt a bit sticky, like it could use a deep cleaning. We didn't mind and appreciated the happy hour discount given the ambiance. read more

Came here not knowing this was a food hall. Was pleasantly surprised by the various restaurants available. My children opted for sushi and they absolutely loved what they order. Shrimp tempura roll, seaweed salad and spicy garlic edamame. We got our sushi from Dorado. We parked off the street; however, I did see a sign for a garage. Restrooms were clean, tables were clean and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. read more

Lyric Market is a nice food hall in the Theater District and is a great option for dinner before a show. It's also a couple of blocks from Post HTX so it can be easy to overlook, but don't sleep on this place. I really like Lyric Market because it's never crazy in there. They have a steady amount of customers, but I've never had to wait in line to order at any of the food stalls or the bar. They currently have 10 vendors. I've eaten at Samurai Noodle and Mexology which I really enjoyed! The quesabirria tacos were phenomenal! You can order food at your table with a QR code, online for pick up on the website, or directly at the counter. The Lyric bar serves amazing drinks and the menu is consistently updated. On my last visit, I had a cocktail called the Cucumber Serenade and it was excellent! There's plenty of seating and they have an outdoor patio near one of the entrances. There's also a terrace, though I've never sat up there. I really appreciate that they have self serve water stations throughout the food hall. Additionally, the staff does a great job of busing tables when patrons are done eating. It gives a bit more of an elevated feel. They host weekly events like Trivia Tuesdays and live music on Thursdays. They also rent out space for private events. Parking is street or garage. If you park in the garage, you can get the first two hours free with parking validation if you make a purchase. The garage is used for event parking too so prices can vary depending on the night. I've seen event parking range from $12-$25. There is certainly not a shortage of food halls downtown. Lyric Market may not have as many food stalls as Post, but they have amazing drinks, a decent variety of vendors, and a super chill vibe. read more

The ambiance of this place was so cute and festival. I went to the first location (Louisiana themed) and had some oxtail yakamein! The flavor was extraordinary! I took one bite and couldn't stop. It was cooked to order so hot and fresh. The meat was tender, bones big. The decor gave me mardi gras vibes so I immediately looked forward to February! Lol read more

We made a trip to lyric market to try the oxtail ramen/soup from 1929poboykitchen. The actual market is really cool with good options. They have sitting outdoor as well as in the building. We sat inside and ordered our soup. The wait was very short to order, but it took more than 20 mins to get our food. The soup was good but spicy, although I had asked ans was told it was mild. I thought the ambience and decor were nice and although my soup was very spicy and the wait for long, I would recommend it. More when it's nice weather! There was plenty of street parking, not sure of they have their own lot. read more

I have been here a few times. This is a nice food hall. They have a nice size bar and seating areas. There are only about 8-10 restaurants. If you are looking for more a vibe then visit the Post or Conservatory but if you are wanting to grab a quick dinner and drink then this is your spot. We have eaten at Shun Kitchen, 1929 Po-Boy Kitchen, Doraodo Sushi, Press Waffles read more

Came here before a show at the hobby center, and it's about a three block walk so if you park after six it's free on the street and then the samurai noodle vendor told me that if you park in the parking garage and get it validated, you get two hours for free, which is great because I didn't know that. There is a variety of food to pick from and really. I should've gotten the samurai noodle because I ate them before they moved to lyric market. There was lots of seating, but there was also puddles of water in places which I'm not sure if that happens when it rains or not. didn't get to try everything out but definitely want to try it stuff next time read more

Another very cool food hall in downtown Houston! Interesting choices here. I went with a fabulous hot dog and a side of fried pickles that were too salty for my taste. I was craving French fries and ordered a basket, but they weren't crispy, and I left most of it behind. My Old Fashioned was excellent. Location is perfect for the theater district, and the vibe is casual with a touch of business, even on a Friday night. Service was spotty - great at the bar, and lukewarm elsewhere. Still, I'll be back. read more

I love the idea of Food Markets. I love how this Downtown Gem is open on the weekends. It's cozy and will be the best go to spot for residents and visitors of the Theatre District. I tried the 1929 establishment. I can't imagine paying $30 for YakkaMein anywhere else let alone the work week. I was pleasantly surprised to find Fried Avacado slices in my Oyster Po'boy. Water and cups are provided to you. read more

We were in town for a last minute weekend getaway from Austin. We came to lyric because we wanted to try a few different places and this looked like a good option that enabled us to do just that!

Lyric Market is a nice food hall centrally located in Downtown Houston. It was my first time visiting. On a Saturday afternoon it was not very busy, and the ambiance was a bit dull. I imagine it gets really packed at certain times. They have a variety of dining options. They provide complimentary 2-hour parking available with a Lyric Market purchase. Great perk. Check them out. I'd visit again. ~This review is for La Cocina by Mexican Mom.~ MEXICAN MOM!!!! Do yall remember the community event in North Houston at Mexican Mom? Well, ten days ago they opened right here in Lyric Market. Stopped by to check out the market and ran right into Mexican Mama herself! We introduced ourselves and mentioned the community event and she came from around the counter to greet us with big hugs!! She also gave us some sweet treats. Mexican Mama is genuine, caring, and so kind. She values her customers and the community that she serves. First, we ordered two empanadas - chicken and cheese & creamy poblano. Tore 'em up! Went back and ordered two more creamy poblano empanadas...clearly, these are my favorite! While eating, she brought over sides of refried beans + spicy avocado sauce w/cojita cheese. A pleasant and delicious surprise! She offered us delicious drinks as well. 10/10 experience and I plan on returning as often as I can! Great customer service! See you soon, Mexican Mama! read more

It seriously is "Just F'n Burgers,", which would be cool if they under-sold themselves and then wowed you with an amazing burger, but noooooo...they have to underwhelm you, too. The lady who took my order was very nice and helpful, she even came out to the sitting area to ask me if I wanted it for here or to go. She even told me that she would smash it so that it's well-done. Turns out I had to eat around the center, because it was pinkish. But that's only half the story. The burger had no redeeming quality. I remember burgers from my elementary school cafeteria having better taste AND they were cooked all the way through. It was the least expensive option in Lyruc Market, but you get what you pat for! read more

My friend and I came here to check out the Saturday morning brunch offering at Lyric Market because their website does not have much details and I can see why, there was only one restaurant open early, technically two separate business but share the same space and staff, Press Waffle Co. and Starbucks, everyone else was still getting ready to open. So don't come here early in the Saturday morning. It's a nice space as it is pretty spacious on the inside and it has access to the parking garage and outside seatings. The last of the food venders here it is pretty diverse choices. But on my visit there was only one choice at the time. We park on the street and the walk to Lyric Market was not bad. I don't think I will come back here or recommend this food hall. read more

Meh experience and just meh food. The ambiance is okay when with a large group though.

I really like this venue. It's a kind of an upscale food hall. Therefore the food is a little pricey. But there are a lot of options for everyone. The bar is super fancy and nice and the drinks are delicious. The bartenders are also super friendly. We tried the Cajun restaurant and got a Poboy sandwich. This is super delicious. Very crispy. I also tried the Ramen from the samurai noodle place. Unfortunately, my Ramen was a little salty for me. I ended up not finishing because of this. The potato croquettes were delicious though. Lastly, we ended with a waffle from press waffle company and this was definitely the star of the show. I will always be getting a waffle when I come here. I really like the proximity to all the theaters. I do wish that this place was open a little later on Sunday nights in case of a late showtime. Everything that came out of the Mexican restaurant looked amazing and I will definitely have to try it next time. The staff was very nice and they cleaned up right after we were finished. The bathrooms are also big and clean. Overall, a really nice food hall that we have now. read more

Super cool food court hardly visible from outside. They have Mexology, sea food, green straw, kati roll wala etc among others. The place is maintained spotless to the extent that while I was tryin to take pics I kept my purse on a table and had to keep moving it from one table to another as the lady was targeting exactly my table to clean, she probably thought I was going to sit there... The lighting, seating, cleanliness and options explored I settled for Indian as I was craving for rice having just returned from India. Service was fast and the staff very friendly. Located in the heart of downtown, right next to the Worthom theater, am sure this place is swarming with blazers and tie clad professionals during the weekdays. Even today- a Sunday- there was a pretty decent crowd especially at a particular bar, which, I am yet to try. There is a board outside which states that parking is free if you purchase at the Market, but am not sure if that is the same rule applies to the food court. Can't wait for another great show at the Worthom performance theater to have a valid excuse to visit this place again. :) read more

We came here for dinner on a Sunday evening, and found a number of pretty good options for food. My friend opted for the vegan quesadilla from Mexology, and after how good she said it was, I regretted not getting something to eat at that restaurant. Instead, I got the classy chicken sandwich from Bad Chx, and even though I asked for not spicy, it was spicy... but very tasty especially with the ranch it came with on the side to cool it off a bit. We wanted to order from Press Waffle Co., but the employee there said it would be a 20-minute wait before we could order because another staff member had left him there on his own. He didn't really look busy, so we found that a bit awkward that he couldn't help us. And we opted not to wait, because we didn't have a lot of time as we had to be somewhere afterward. They have plenty of seating throughout the food hall, and a large bar on one side. The place looks modern and inviting too, so it seems to be a decent food hall, providing various meal options all in one place, with barely any lines anywhere on a Sunday evening. And its location in downtown Houston makes it ideal for grabbing lunch or dinner before heading out to other events/venues in the area. read more

I've enjoyed this new addition to downtown. There's a huge garage and the market is modern with a classy feel. I love the big bar in the larger room where you can get beer, wine and craft cocktails. Service is super friendly too. Food variety is plentiful and diverse. The sushi spot is really wonderful and great for a healthier meal. I do love Bad Chix where they have the most delicious fried cheese sticks ever. I saw a street-style Mexican spot, sandwiches and burgers, sweets spots and a slough of other places to try. If you work downtown, this is a fun place to go for lunch and happy hour. Or even before going to the theater or performing arts venue. Keep bringing these great options! read more

We were taking a leisurely stroll through down and needed a place to eat. Different cravings came up so we decided a food hall was what needed to happen. We decided to try Lyric Market, one of Houston's newest food halls. Located in the theater district, this place definitely stands out visually. Thanks to the Astros' recent success, the building was lit up in blue and orange, which definitely pulled at my super fan heart strings. Inside, I really liked the modern look of the place. It wasn't a huge open space like some of it's neighboring halls, but more of a literal hall with different shops spread out throughout. Even the tables and chairs were stylish. This place has nice food options as well as a very large bar. They have something to satisfy most cravings. One neat thing I found was that you can find a seat, scan a QR code and order from the restaurant of your choice, and they will bring the food to you. There were staff members making sure tables were turned over quickly. I did notice the pricing at every place was high compared to other places in town. Yes it's nice in here, but so are the other places. Overall concept is cool, but I hope they don't price themselves out in this already saturated food hall market in downtown. read more

A beautiful new food hall in Downtown Houston! My brother and I were in the area and we decided to visit the new Lyric Market. Parking can be validated for 2 hours with a purchase from one of the vendors. This visit we got sushi from Horu and a poboy from Poboy Kitchen. We got the spicy tuna roll from Horu which was pretty good, came in 10 pieces, and surprisingly tasted fresh. The fried shrimp poboy came out piping hot, had decent-sized shrimp, and came with a side of tasty spicy mayo. There's a bar and several other vendors, as well as water stations located throughout the hall. This new food hall has a lot of potential, and I'd check it out again especially if they hosted themed events. read more

Upscale food hall with a nice bar and several dining options to choose from. Some that I can remember are a bbq place, sushi, waffles and hot chicken. There is ample seating either at the bar or in various sections throughout the hall. You have the ability to order from your seat via QR code and a server will deliver to your table. The vibe is nice, very chill & laid back. Music is great, but not too loud or disturbing. I think this place works for small to medium groups, dates or for solos. The price point is not bad. The decor is very nice. Restrooms are bright & clean. There is 2 hours free garage parking in a very nice lot. No complaints here. read more

I really didn't want to write a review under each Restaurant but I will name them here. Lyric Market is awesome. So many good food spots. I literally wanted to eat at every spot. I couldn't so I shall return. We went to Kati Roll Wrap and had the Chicken Tikka wrap, Masala fries, and Samosa bites. We got the hookup on the bites so don't be surprised when you only get 4, that's the serving size. The chicken was dry but the ingredients I the wrap helped it out. The Samosa bites were perfect in size and flavor Next we had sushi from Horu Sushi. I will say I was expecting a larger size roll with the seafood volcano roll for the price. The Truffle Salamon was unique to me and very tasty. The Truffkd Fries were cold. It should have been the ladt thing prepared but seemed like the first. Lastly, we had to get dessert at Press Waffle. We had the House special and it was heaven in my mouth. I just don't think you can go wrong with cookie butter and chocolate on dessert. A must have and a must have again for me! read more

The waffle could have been softer but overall yummy- we were honestly so full at that point. Nice lil date night read more

I was excited to try out this place since I'm a huge foodie and I love trying new food halls. However I was super impressed with the options. It's a lot smaller than what I expected. We tried mexology which was pretty good. I got the vegan quesadilla and my partner got some tacos. Overall the flavors were amazing but kinda pricy for 3 small tacos. There was only one place that you could order something sweet which was "press waffles". The thought of waffles doesn't really excite me however I gave it a chance and ordered the cinnamon roll waffle. Let's just say, it wasn't worth the price!!! Hopefully one day they can add more places that sell better desserts. Also, parking is $10. You can try and find street parking but it was impossible on a Saturday. read more

I've been here a few times now. It has a variety of food options to choose from: sushi, bbq, American, Cajun, Mexican, Belgian waffles, vegan! You can't go wrong here. Although when you attempt to order from your table through the website, there are restaurant options that are no longer functional and when I ordered my waffle and my payment went through, the order was never sent to the restaurant. I had waited for my order 20+ before inquiring about my waffle. The employees stated that they had not received any online orders all day. So there are a few technical issues to work through. Also, they charge a little more than advertised for the parking garage. It was supposed to be $12 for 2 hours or less of parking we got charged for 3. I have enjoyed my time here. They also have music bingo nights and live music. I wish they would work through their technical issues. read more

If I could give 0 star I would. 4 of us came for a pre-show drink/bite at 6pm, thinking there should be plenty of time since the 7:30pm show was at Wortham Theater across the street. Wrong! The Lyric Bar had 1 bartender when there should have been at least 5 and he clearly couldn't pay attention to the order of the arrival of the customers (and I couldn't entirely fault him because it was chaotic and so many customers who wanted a beverage). On each table there's a QR code and table number, although that didn't work for the bar, for whatever reason. So for 4 very easy drinks (we all had wine instead of mixed drinks) it took nearly an hour! I was able to place a food order at Mexology using the QR code, menu & table number and even got a confirmation of the order saying our order was being worked on. Wrong again! 45 minutes later was told at the Mexology counter that all the online orders were not made at all. Had to find someone who led me all the way to a terminal on the other end of the building for a refund! Absolutely insane!! read more

We REALLY want to like the food at these food halls since we love the concept and other major cities around the world do such a phenomenal job with them showcasing local vendors and flavors. Lyric Market just misses the follow through in our opinion. The burgers were dry, the Indian concept lacked spice and separate entrees looked the EXACT same like you were going to chipotle, dessert waffles although eye grabbing lacked freshness/crisp you'd expect for $15 waffles. Hopefully the quality improves as these concepts are modern, sleek, and convenient. We just need the quality of the actual FOOD in the Food Hall to live up to the hype. read more

The bar needs more staff and/or less complicated cocktails. Been here before a few shows at Bayou Music Center since it's walking distance and the food is decent to good and the cocktail are better than expected for a food hall, but the wait at the bar is crazy - we had to wait over 30min for drinks. Last night they had a private part of what looked like 50-75 people on one side of the bar and normal Saturday scene on the other side and only two bartenders covering the whole bar. These bartenders need more support or just do simpler drinks so they take less time. read more

We had a great takeout dinner from Lyric Market food hall. Its website is great--you can order from the different food stalls at the same time, and your order is waiting for you all together when you arrive, so no waiting in line to order at the different food stalls. We tried one dish from each of Alenbi Falafel & Hummus, MEXology, and Horu Sushi & Kitchen and thought all of them were great--Alenbi may have been my favorite, but I liked them all! At Alenbi, you must order the hummus and falafel dish--SO good! And make sure to order some extra pita bread so that you have enough to enjoy all of the hummus. At MEXology, we enjoyed the al pastor pork taco--it comes with three tacos on corn tortillas with generous servings of pork. And we had to sneak in the churros for dessert--they were cream-filled and served with a chocolate dip, so good! At Horu, we ordered the Horu sushi roll because we figured that, if they named the roll after the restaurant, it must be good--we weren't disappointed. I particularly liked what I think was some kind of candied citrus on top of the roll. read more
