We met our good friend up Friday night around 10:30 PM before hitting Sushi By the Heights reverse HH. The bar wasn't crowded, which I prefer with a chill atmosphere so you can have conversations with some good music not blaring over you. Moonshine Deck was that exact vibe. We'll be back soon! read more

Love the food here and the servers are always really nice. the banana pudding is fantastic and so are the brisket fries (and so is everything else I've ever ordered- you can't go wrong) I come here for trivia every now and then and usually if the answer he has on the screen is wrong and someone tells him (with proof, of course) he'll be like "ok cool yeah nvm, for anyone who answered xyz y'all will get those points" but for some reason tonight one of the answers he put up was wrong and everyone started booing him (lmao) and then later someone went up to him and was like hey here's something that proves the answer you put is wrong and he was like "I'm not taking any comments, my answers are final" like get off your high horse dude. my friends got pretty annoyed so we ended up leaving after the third round or so. I feel like if it was general trivia it would've been fine but it was a themed one tonight and people always get crazy intense about the themed ones. just admit you were wrong, it'll be ok I promise. other than that it was great lol read more

Had a blast here. Staff was great and the service was really fast. We had a birthday there and they let us set up a obstacle course for one of our friends birthdays. It was also nicely decorated for the holidays. Such a fun atmosphere. I will definitely go again. The food is decently good and the drinks are really good. read more

My husband and I absolutely love coming here--it's become one of our favorite spots to unwind and enjoy a great night out. The ambience is always on point, whether we're stopping in for a casual drink or staying longer to enjoy the full experience. The food is consistently delicious, and the drinks are crafted perfectly every time. What really makes this place special, though, is the staff. The bartenders are amazing--Hannah, Eva, and Isa always go above and beyond, and over time they've truly become more like friends to us. They even make my ranch waters specially for me, which makes me feel so taken care of and honestly a little spoiled in the best way. Their energy, attention to detail, and genuine kindness make every visit feel personal and welcoming. We also have to give a huge shoutout to the manager, Bryan, who is incredible at what he does. He somehow always knows exactly what we want before we even ask, and his level of service is unmatched. If you're looking for a place with great vibes, amazing food and drinks, and a team that makes you feel right at home, this is it. We can't recommend it enough! read more

Came here with a friend. It's a great place to gather. The DJ tent was cool and the giant everything out there. The music was interesting, just a bit chaotic. The brisket was good but still on the fence about the chips instead of tortillas, but the meat was tasty. The mint cucumber strawberry something was really really fruity in the best way. The server was doing her best with so many tables. Would recommend to ppl looking for chill fun in the heights read more

Ambiance: Trendy & upbeat spot in The Heights with an expansive drink & food menu perfect for celebrating any and all occasions with friends or family. They have several Instagram-worthy backdrops, fun chairs/lounge areas, and music + games. Dog friendly as well! Limited onsite parking - valet and street parking also available. 21+. A bit on the pricey side but worth it for the ambiance and music. Does get crowded on the weekends. Lots of TVs & perfect for watching live sports. There is a pour your own beer wall, although we had a hard time figuring out how to work it. A must visit spot if you're looking for a fun ambiance on a weekend! read more

Met up with some friends for mimosas and brunch at this spot. The food was as expected for a bar. We needed food with our drinks, and it was good enough. Service was pretty great! Our waitress was always easy to find when we needed something, and she even double checked our tacos for brisket vs pork after it looked questionable: What to get: mimosa tower read more

I met a friend at Moonshine Deck for dinner and drinks on my recent visit to Houston! I loved the fun atmosphere and instagrammable decorations. Not only do they have an outdoor with misters but they also have yard games to play which is fun for groups. While we were there, they had a live DJ which was fun but the music was way too loud. We kept moving tables to get further away in hopes of being able to hear one another. The bartenders and servers were nice and quick to take our order. While there, we ordered the following: - Beer (hard to go wrong) - Brisket Quesadillas: I can't say enough good things about these. They were incredible and I'd absolutely order them again! - Buffalo Blue Quesadillas: Pretty good but nothing out of this world. Still worth ordering again if you're a big Buffalo chicken fan Overall this was a fun place to meet with friends and I'd definitely go back for their Brisket Quesadillas! read more

This is a great place to meet up with friends for a good drink. It is a very chill and relaxed environment. Their frozen margaritas are !!! Our waitress was great and did a great job of handling our large group. I highly recommend this place for a good time. read more

This is my first time here and the place looks nice outside , plenty of seating , and cool decor. We were greeted and seated fast. We ordered the Brisket quesadillas and they were delicious along with the banana pudding. The steak I wasn't to thrilled about , I asked for medium and the steak came out well , so it was dry , and burnt on both sides. read more

Good time . Out door seating . Pickle ball . Great service and we enjoyed the food trucks.

We waited a LONG time for our waiter to show up. The drinks were good but I wish they would have wiped it before giving it to me it was quite a mess and my hands were sticky. We came during the St. Pattys day weekend weekend so it was a little vibe. I was surprised at how good the food was. The brisket fries were amazing. I would definitely order again, I'm looking forward to trying other menu items as well. The wings were OK. They were extremely wet, and you can tell that they weren't cooked with the garlic because the garlic pieces were hard and crunchyparking is extremely tight, you may have to pay for parking or park on the road. read more

First time in and the place was very well kept! Service was super fast. And I even messed up my own order and they knew what I was talking about. Great batch of workers. Got valet parking and he put me right in front read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. I had one of the most disappointing dining experiences here. I ordered a sandwich that arrived lukewarm. When I took a bite and realized it wasn't hot enough, I politely sent it back to the kitchen to be remade. To my shock, instead of preparing a fresh sandwich, they literally brought back the exact same one I had already bitten into--just microwaved. You could still see the bite mark, and the bread was rubbery from the microwave. This is not only unprofessional, but also unsanitary and disrespectful to the customer. For the price I paid, I expected at least basic standards of food service. I won't be returning, and I'd strongly recommend you think twice before dining here. read more

Great place to have some drinks with friends great atmosphere plenty of TVs for games

Finally checked this out mid-November. Can't believe it took me so long to check this place out considering it's near my neck of the woods. Located on W 19th street with a murderer's row of other bars/drinking spots, I found this one as one of the better ones, especially for watching sports and grabbing brunch. So interior-wise, it's quite roomy with a good amount of space. One side of the place has bar tables and high top counters; the other side has U-shaped booths allowing comfortable seating for groups and parties. TVs are also lined up in front of the booths so if you're with a group, you can select which game/event you all want to watch. There's TVs alll around the bar as well so finding your sporting event is no issue here. Great for NFL Sunday. Also plenty of outdoor seating as well with heaters in case you Texans think it's "cold". Being from the east coast, I've never seen heaters turned on unless you could see your own breath in the wind. Guess it's different here. Enough of that, moving onto the drink options, beer and cocktails are the specialty here. Beer selection ranges from locals to domestics and they have beer towers. Cocktails are also unique, I had the infused smoked ol fashion which is one of the better ol' fashions I've imbibed in. Also did an espresso martini since I needed some caffeine with my alcohol, gave a nice perk-up after guzzling miller lites and bloody marys. Cocktails aren't cheap so be prepared to poney up the $$$ if you get one (or multiple). Brunch cocktails (mimosas and bellinis) can be part of the beer tower allowing the customer to pour however much they want. Kinda cool for brunch! As for brunch, I ordered the brisket benedict with a side of fruit. Not a bad entree, the brisket was flavorful with the egg yolk running down. However they presented it sandwich style. Wished they had both parts of the muffin open-faced like traditional benedicts but I had no idea. Still finished it. Other brunch dishes looked tasty including the sirloin hash, french toast, and chicken biscuits. I'll have to dabble in one of those next time. Had some friendly bartenders who are attentive and work as a team. Looks like a fun workplace as they are chatty and enjoy engaging with the patrons and regulars. Look forward to future visits especially since it's within walking distance from my residence. read more

My experience with Moonshine Deck has gotten significantly worse since when I visited when they first opened. On my most recent visit, I will acknowledge that the bar was packed, however I was left waiting to order a drink for so long that I ended up leaving empty handed. Many customers who arrived after me were served before I was even acknowledged. Cherry on top was while I was patiently waiting to order, the bartender openly poured vodka into a Redbull for himself and proceeded to shotgun it in the middle of the bar. Clientele is rude. Not only did several customers push past me to order but a man playing Jenga outside knocked over my full drink resting on a table and told me it wasn't his problem. Don't waste your time and money with this bar. read more

Great place to hang out and have some drinks and good food. The bartenders and waitstaff were all very attentive and gave great service. We had the pulled pork sliders, shrimp tacos and brisket tacos, all very tasty. There's definitely a lot of space to sit inside or outside and has a casual, chill vibe! Also a good place to watch your favorite sports as they have a lot of tvs throughout the bar both inside and out. read more

The DJ was super friendly and the music was lit. We played Jenga, watched the football game and threw back 2 spicy margaritas. So good. The drinks were strong and flavorful and super affordable. The vibe was layer back and the DJ was like a friend we hadn't seen in a long time (young Asian guy) sorry didn't want I give the wrong name. We will definitely return. They gave a cool holiday vibe going on so it was a great opportunity to take pics, chill, vibe out and enjoy the weekend. read more

Nice place. Came here with friends after dinner. Didn't take me long to realize that I'm old. The booze menu here is excellent, including many beers on tap and mixed drinks galore. There's also a drink wall where patrons can pour their own. The crowd here is 20-30ish. Back in the the day, I would've really dug the scene. These days, however, I just dig the drinks, company, and people-watching. And the people-watching here is wonderful! This joint is clean. Service is fantastic. Music is there and not too loud. (I know. I'm old!) read more

My first visit was a Wednesday night. It was bingo night which turned out to be really fun. I like how they was able to keep the crowd engaged. The music was great and catered to everyone. The drinks was good. I like that it wasn't weak but definitely not over the top strong. It was a very chill laid back environment. The outside patio area has adult games which is cool for groups. I didn't get any food but I caught a glimpse of others food coming out and it looked appealing. I'll be going back to visit again soon and will have a good update read more

Fun fact: The hubs and I are "Singo Bingo" champions of the world! We came, we saw, and we won gift cards! We've visited on a Saturday night and enjoy the less hectic, midweek hangout vibe far better. The DJ is friendly, and the music selection is fantastic also. The service during each of our visits has been pretty good, and the food here is sneakily delicious. What I mean by that is that we were expecting and (hoping for) good bar food here, and MD far exceeded our expectations. The flavors are pretty spot on, and they're consistent. We've seen the masses ordering steaks, but we haven't push the needle quite that far yet. Icing on the cake: I love the plethora of photo ops. We always have a really good time here! Cheers! read more

I like this bar they have a good happy hour good service decent outdoor seating. Live DJs on the weekend. We went recently for crawfish and were very pleased would go back. read more

Seems like a really cute place but their over 21 policy--that isn't posted by an entrance but rather tucked into the side of their patio--seemed a little arbitrary for people looking for brunch and an empty restaurant. They were nice about asking us to leave, but it was still such a buzzkill. read more

Aesthetically pleasing, but their drink prices were high and beers where not cold! Basically all I could say is that they better step up there game. Paid $33 dollars (plus tip) for a bucket of Miller Lite and the beers were not cold at all (too late to request new ones by the time we got to the table and started drinking them). It seems like the bar was morn interested in adding to your IG account than offering good drinks and service. Do it for the Gram! Will I be back? I'm sure I will, but not excited to go. Definitely had a disappointing first experience. read more

I like moonshine deck. Me and my friends always seem to end up here. I like the outdoor area, and I especially love playing cornhole. The inside area is nice, but just ok. It's a little small inside. Mostly young people there. Usually the bar is pretty busy on the weekends. On the weekdays, it's pretty empty. It's pretty easy to find a table though. I haven't gotten drinks/food from here before so I can't speak to that. I'll update this review if I ever get drinks. Overall, I like going to moonshine deck & would go again with my friends. It's not my top choice, but usually a reliable spot. read more

This Heights newcomer offers lots of room to hang out and enjoy a beverage or few with friends; an expansive inside, outside, and covered patio is available so you should be able to find a spot with no issue. There are about 30 free self-parking spots available when you enter off of 20th St, valet for the rest (or whatever street parking you can find in this crowded area). I didn't have any food during my visit, but several others in our party did and it looks like your standard bar fare (wings, quesadillas, loaded fries, etc). For drinks, I tried the Paloma (on-tap and happy hour special), frozen screwdriver (recommended by the bartender, also on happy hour special, but small in portion since it is served in a martini glass), and the Topo Chico grapefruit ranch water (pricey IMO, but aesthetically pleasing for the 'gram). Maybe I am out of touch, but I thought some of the drinks were on the pricier side while others were on par with what you expect at a bar (ex: $10 for a Topo Chico ranch water seems steep while $5 happy hour cocktails is a great deal). I did appreciate the attentiveness of our server and her ability to handle our large group with no issues in billing at the end (side note: so glad to see more places like Moonshine Deck offering tableside bill splitting/card swiping!). My review is probably more of a 3.5, but I can't quite pinpoint something to help me round up to a 4. I would certainly come back, but I won't necessarily be rushing given the plethora of other spots to explore in the area. read more

Starts off horrible. How in the hell are you going to charge $10 to park at a restaurant/bar? I'm not talking valet, self parking is $10. Then we go inside and they have one waitress for the entire place. With all the other choices in the area there is no way I would go back. read more

I've been to Moonshine at least a half dozen times. Here are the highlights: good for watching games, good happy hour drink specials, horrible for food and horrible for service. Every time I'm underwhelmed by the food and leave with a stomach ache. I think the bar needs to focus on what they're good at- being a sports bar- and leave the food to food trucks. On my most recent visit we ordered fried pickles for $10.50. They came out soaking in oil (see photo) and with no napkins. We order frickles a lot, we've never seen a literal pool of grease on the plate. It's unappetizing and frankly just sloppy. Come here just to drink (when there are specials) but don't risk eating here. read more

I recently moved to Houston from Las Vegas in June of '22. When my wife and I moved here, we didn't know many places around town that had a good sports atmosphere, where it was trendy / lively. When we heard about Moonshine Deck, we decided to give it a shot, and we're so glad it was the first bar in the heights we visited. It easily became our favorite place for college football, NFL, Astros games, or even trivia. The night the Astros won the series we were in the heights, and the energy felt like we were in Minute Maid watching the game. Even on a busy night, the service was great, everyone was friendly and accommodating to us. Somehow sea of people, they even got our order of food out to us on time. Best bar in the Heights, IMO! Love this place. read more
