It really comes alive after 10pm; the music, the crowd, and the energy hit right with the game, ambient lighting and a great DJ. Karen, our server, checked all the boxes -- friendly, attentive, and timely on the refills. And the street tacos....man. Amazing. Just another chill spot I frequent often to take a load off. I recommend bringing the whole crew here... or a perfect date night drop-in. Available parking with security that takes their job serious. Oh, and $10 Hookah if you're into that.

Very good service and the food was sooo yummy. We will be back when we're visiting again.read more

Not a hotel. And it's in Houston WHERE THERE REALLY AREN'T FOUR SEASONS…read more False advertising then. Cool late night place to hang out in Vietnamesetown if you are in the mood. Right next to JTea. We like the excellent exciting nightlife here which is probably the best reason to come here but they also have crawfish so if you're big into that, as a lot of people are these days in Houston, then you might enjoy that. We like it. Will probably hang out here again because it's right next to one of the boba places that we like.

I've been coming to NextDoor Bar & Lounge for years, and seeing the recent renovation completely…read moretransformed the space in the best way possible. I was impressed when I walked in. They managed to keep the same relaxed neighborhood vibe people love while giving it a much more modern, polished, and upscale feel. The updated design, lighting, TVs and overall atmosphere look incredible and make the space feel fresh without losing its personality. They still have the spinning drink wheel! The outdoor seating especially feels elevated now and makes for the perfect Houston brunch spot or night out. One of the best parts about NextDoor is that it's connected to Hungry's, which means you get full access to their menu while enjoying the lounge atmosphere. Being able to order everything from cocktails and appetizers to full meals while at a bar is a game changer. The food is consistently good, the drinks are strong (especially the frozen options) well-made, and everything comes out quickly. What keeps me coming back year after year is the consistency. The staff has always been welcoming and attentive, the crowd is chill, and it never feels overly pretentious or chaotic. It's one of those rare spots that works for everything, whether it's happy hour after work, date night, catching up with friends over drinks on the patio or a solo adventure. Love seeing a longtime Houston favorite continue to evolve while still delivering the same great experience that's kept me coming back for years. Definitely one of my go-to spots on Memorial Drive. My only suggestion is to tell the younger staff members to be conscious of their conversations while guest are dining nearby. I love people watching but I heard a lot of things. It appears Hungry's uses the bar area like a break/training room or to do other tasks like rolling utensils in napkins.

The kitchen is located in the restaurant next door so there are runners between the two. We ordered the pepperoni and mushroom pizza, spinach and artichoke dip, and barbecue cast iron wings. I could easily pass on the food here, because it was under seasoned and the wings were soft. However, they have great drinks that are well poured and great service. We experienced a bit of a mishap which caused our food to come out very delayed, but they were overly apologetic and comped the food.

It's a rectangle bar with the back area reserved for gaming, the middle section is where the bar is and the front is the karaoke stage. Seating is scattered around the place. You have to go to the desk just inside the door to get a wrist band. This is not a serious place to go to have a drink. Its all about the visuals. The parking lot had a lot of litter and trash thrown on the ground and that pretty much sums up the type of place it is.

Monday Night Steak Special at By Popular Demand - Memorial…read more By Popular Demand in Memorial has a fantastic Monday night steak special -- your choice of a ribeye or filet mignon with two sides for just $20. Chrissy and James bring such warmth and joy to the evening that it truly feels like you're among friends. Chrissy was our ambassador for the meal and she's down to earth. Glass of water was set of down within minutes of sitting down. Start with the tuna bites appetizer -- a perfect lead-in to the main event. The E.H. Taylor Small Batch pairs beautifully with the steaks and rounds out the experience. This is a Mazraff's restaurant, but with a very different vibe. Instead of a formal dining room, the space feels casual and relaxed -- more like a bar or even a cozy living room. It's a great place to hang out, unwind, and enjoy good food in a laid-back setting.

After dinner in the area, I stopped by By Popular Demand for drinks on a Tuesday evening with two…read morefriends. First off, great name for a bar. Second, I discovered that they're owned by the same people behind Masraff's. That's a good start. They're located in a shopping center with several other businesses, including a cat vet right next door. While it was busy, I didn't have trouble finding a parking spot. Ambiance (4/5): This is part of where By Popular Demand (BPD) shines. The interior is trendy, with both tabletop seating and more comfortable chairs and sofas. There's a small patio in the front and a larger one on the side. There aren't a ton of seats inside, so think of it as a smaller, more intimate bar. Service (3.5/5): A little slow to start out with as it took our waitress a good while to come and take our order (we were sitting on the front patio). She did apologize for the delay, and she was friendly from there on out, so things improved throughout our evening there. Food (N/A): I had dinner prior so I was on a liquid diet. I have heard they have a pretty awesome steak night on Mondays though. Next time around! Drinks (3.5/5): While they have a full bar, BPD is a cocktail bar. They have 10-12 craft cocktails, plus everything else you would expect at a bar. I went with That Cucumber Drink. I'm always a fan of any cocktail that incorporates cucumber. It was one of the few items on the menu that stood out to me. A decent number of of the offerings are more of your standard cocktails (margaritas, ranch waters, etc.) and a good number have brown liquor (while I prefer clear liquor). Not the best menu for my taste, but that's not to say it's not a solid menu. Next time around, I'll have to stop by for steak night or to try out their food menu.

Know before you go…read more We are huge fans of Credence. We love the food there and the place is beautiful. So we thought we would try Sidebar. You're not going for the food. Maybe my rating is too harsh but the food was just meh. Sadly we studied the menu online and were looking forward to sliders but they had taken them off the menu. Chips and dip - the menu says "House chips", not "House-made". We swear they were Ruffles. They gave you a lot of dip but if you want more Ruffles it was $2 added. Oysters I had were good. Shrimp cocktail - nothing special. Crab rolls -ok. The drinks were good. We did not really get to stay for the music, but it sounded good for the five minutes that we heard it. We were told the music would start at 7:30 but it was more like 8 PM. Just come prepared. This is not the place to come for food.

If you're looking for a laid-back spot with personality, Jack's has it in spades. It's got that…read morepool hall feel--plenty of pool tables, a lively after-work crowd, and a wall full of cool throwback decor. My favorites are the Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn sections, plus a little Rebel Without a Cause flair and a nod to the Rat Pack. It's like a time capsule of classic cool. The drinks? BIG. Like, the kind of pour you want after a long day--generous and made right. The bartender keeps it friendly, and you can tell there's a good group of regulars who keep the place buzzing without it ever feeling cliquey. Music leans into 70s/80s rock and classic vibes, which matches the décor and the crowd perfectly. Whether you're shooting pool, hanging with friends, or just in the mood for a stiff drink with some character around you, Jack's delivers. Bottom line: Fun, unpretentious, and easy to settle into. Good drinks, good music, and good people. Southwest Houston needs spots like this.

For brunch I had the mimosa carafe, lobster and waffle with mac and cheese and yams as sides. The lobster was okay, I didn't really enjoy the breading flavor however the actual lobster was cooked well and buttery. The waffle was very dense because it was a jalapeño cornbread mix (which I should've read the description better). I would've preferred a traditional fluffy waffle to accompany the lobster. I did enjoy the yams + mac and cheese and had enough to take home. The service was pretty quick and our waitress was very pleasant as well. Plenty of parking available.

The salmon was flavorful, though I personally would've preferred it cooked a bit longer. Still, it was enjoyable. Would I return? Yes, I'd come back but next time I'd love to try their brunch.
