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.

This review is specifically about there happy hour*…read more I came on a Friday afternoon with a colleague. This was my second time visiting. Parking- if you have the patience or the time, feel free to try your luck at street parking. But I valet for $10. But pretty sure the price increase at nighttime. Ambience- The decor is moody chic. There is a large patio, and bar seating. If you go for HH no need for resy. But if you come after they likely want a resy, or you have to wait depenon the night. There's a hostess stand of course as you walk in those large doors. The vibe seems more like a place you take on a first or second date. They have small tables scattered around the bar. Theres a dress code in the evening. Not a place to take a large group to socialize or meet other people for the first time. I think they try and make it lounge-like/party with a DJ at night too. Drinks- there menu for HH includes food and drinks from 4p to 7p. The server did recommend there flatbread, but we didn't eat. I started with The Kiss, there gin drink for $7 on HH. Then moved to The Fruit of the Earth also $7, which is smokey sweet, but then went back The Kiss. The 2nd Kiss, I had to pay regular price of $17 since it was after 7p. My colleague had the $5 Espresso Tini a few times during HH, which she liked. I think the HH drinks are smaller versions of there after 7p drinks, at least it seemed that way. Both the woman and eventually male server we had were both great, friendly service. Would I return? Only if another person I was meeting suggested it and really wanted to come.

Extremely disrespectful and aggressive staff, with clueless security…read more My friends and I came to celebrate a birthday. From the moment we arrived, one employee was unnecessarily rude and confrontational toward my friend while checking IDs by saying "are you going to show me your ID or not?!" Later, she grabbed my friend by the arm and made comments like, " Are you ok? Are you sure? Yeah, because I don't play that." When we were leaving, the same employee confronted my friend again simply because my friend looked at her. My friend tried to walk away and get into the elevator, but the employee followed her inside and cornered her. Instead of removing the employee or de-escalating, security blocked the rest of us from entering the elevator while our friend was being confronted. The employee tried to claim that my friend was "trespassing" which made no sense because we were all leaving. We repeatedly explained that we were only trying to get our friend out of the situation, but security did nothing to help. The employee continued following my friend even after she left the elevator. Like I said, disrespectful, aggressive staff and security that seemed completely clueless about how to handle the situation.

Finally got the chance to visit Z on 23 rooftop. I remember when Yelp had a elite event here that I…read moredid not get on a guest list for ever since then this place has been on my bookmark and finally I get to check it off spontaneously I visit here on a Saturday evening after having dinner on the first floor in the hotel at Zutro's. The temperature had dropped and it was pretty chilled. Some of the heaters were out of order so we collected our drinks and went downstairs on the second floor and its quiet lounge beautiful sight seating is very limited and it had a nice crowd.

The reason I'm giving this restaurant 3 stars is because the service was exceptional. Our server's…read morename was Dequan and he was excellent. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the food. This was my first experience with Credence and the atmosphere was new, modern and a little noisy. The lunch gnocchi was my first experience with gnocchi (in particular cornmeal gnocchi) so I have nothing with which to compare; I would probably not have it again but it wasn't bad. I have had plenty of beet salads and this didn't make the top ten. The grilled tuna salad my husband ordered rated a 0 on a scale of 1-5. The tuna may have been grilled as advertised, but there was no evidence of it, and there was absolutely no taste to it. I would have expected there to be some seasoning, but again, no evidence. The green beans were so crunchy they might as well have been fresh-picked and the sauce over the snow peas was so tasteless, Ranch dressing would have been a huge improvement. I could only eat one, and I really like snow peas. Until they get a better chef, I will not be returning.

So I normally am not a fan of this place at night time. But that's just my personal opinion because…read moreit's very hard to park, the valet takes forever because it's such a small space and so many people it's kind of a nightmare to get in and out of. Also, it's so crowded that it's hard to get a drink and hard to sit anywhere even with the outside patio I felt crammed But with that said......... I absolutely loved it during the daytime!! I went there for a friend's birthday, and I was actually able to enjoy the ambience and really noticed that they have decorated it very nicely and Elegantly inside, I had a chance to actually eat there and the food was really really good. I've had some of their cocktails, which were all very, very well made and very tasty. I will go again, but in a daytime lol Much easier for parking as well

Atmosphere is casual, service…read moreis friendly, the vibe is definitely Viking (and from what I have heard, it's really popping during brunch!). We came on. Friday after work during happy hour and the prices could not be beat, especially with their lobster bites (was sitting at about $30, and we got them half off!) Drinks were fantastic! I selected the "Golden Cadillac" that comes with a miniature bottle of Grand Marnier inside of it. Very good. My company decided on an array of appetizers for his "main course", while I went with their Fried Salmon (served with Mac and cheese, and collard greens). Omg! So tasty! The pepper was prevalent throughout, but it did not over power the flavor! I make collard greens at home (and learned from one of the best), and even I found theirs to be pretty good! My company selected fried ribs, along with the lobster bites, and crawfish queso dip, and their wings! I tasted what he got, and we both agreed that the wings were "off the chart" delicious with a beautiful straight off the grill smoky flavor! So good that he got another order to go! Lol. What made our experience there amazing was our server Ray (Rajean = think "the 90's TV Show "Living Single"..."smooches"!)...she was the best!! From her hello, to walking us through the menu (as first-timers), her recommendations, her energy, her smile, and her being very relatable. Loved her! My only gripe was the bathrooms, the ladies room needed attention (and could use a spruce all around). It doesn't help that it is a bit small, but yeah, they need to focus some efforts on ensuring it's upkeep. As for seating and parking, there is a bar area and limited seating toward the front of the restaurant, but it does extend to back of the house with additional seating. There is also patio seating as well. Because this place seems popular, it is best to reserve ahead to ensure your seating. Parking is very limited! They do however, offer valet (but at $20+). There is off-street parking, but be careful since this is a residential area and nothing is secure. All in all, I really had a great time and left with my belly full! Definitely worth checking out! What was lost is now found! Enjoy!

The service stood out right away, very welcoming and friendly, and the food came out extremely fast, which was a plus. As for the food, it was decent overall. The wings had good flavor, but the ranch was a bit watery and could definitely use more seasoning. The onion rings were also good, just needed a little extra seasoning to really bring them up a notch. Overall, it's a solid spot for happy hour with good prices, generous portions, and great service.

The DJ was also bumpin'! Song choices were fitting and he mixed the music seamlessly which made the vibes so much more fun. We loved the Prosciutto Flatbread, the toppings were generous and the crust was perfectly chewy but crispy. We also got the Papas Bravas, which was pretty standard. For drinks, we got the Situationship, Lychee Lemon Drop, Smooth Operator, and Blue Tile IPA. All the cocktails were very tasty and perfectly balanced. Food and drinks here are definitely on the pricier side for a typical Houston bar.

The deviled eggs were very good, but the meatballs were just okay. The servers were nice and made recommendations on the menu for us. Be warned that this restaurant does not allow take-away for leftovers. They do not even own take-way containers. My friend and I ordered several appetizers to nibble on with plans to take the leftovers home. But upon requesting to-go or takeaway, they informed us that the restaurant does not support the practice of leftovers so we had to leave so much food at the restaurant.

If you're planning to go with someone, I'd highly recommend making a reservation for two or more, as seating is limited.

No single women want to go here due to the location and staff. Men take a chance at your own risk. The worst part about this place is they want you to sign up for a monthly membership and even after you cancel they will continue to charge your account until you call them. $120 for single me is crazy. Go to Encounters or any other place that has been around and established for years. Less expensive and better vibes!
