It didn't feel like a dive bar though. Probably because the staff were so good looking and super friendly and helpful.

Stopped in for a drink after leaving The Punchline. Entering the bar wasn't the most welcoming, but…read moreI was curious to see what they offered and check out the atmosphere. The bar is dark and moody, with plenty of space, tables and booths, good music, and a very distinct vibe. I tried the Smoke Show and Something Sweet, and the Smoke Show was definitely the better of the two. Overall, the bar was okay, but not quite enough to make me want to return. If you're into dark, moody bars with skeleton decor, rock/alternative music, and a little edge, this might be your place.

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.

The food menu looked intriguing, so I'll definitely come here again to try!

The location is money, super convenient right around the corner from House of Blues and Toyota Center. You'll often see a mix of locals and out-of-towners on most nights. Bar area gets lively on weekends, but the service stays on point.. The bartenders here are very knowledgeable, can make a drink off the menu if you asks.. The whiskey selection extensive and the staff actually knows how to guide you through it if you're not sure what you want. Vibe is more of a low lit, cozy, and feels a little upscale without being too pretentious.. Good spot for date night or just grabbing drinks with friends after a show. A solid cocktail spot to checkout

It's definitely a nice spot to sit back, have a drink, and enjoy the Houston skyline. They even offer valet. The food was really good! We shared the sliders and charcuterie board, and both were great for snacking while having drinks. I do wish the bar had a little more variety when it came to specialty cocktails. For a rooftop bar with such a great atmosphere, I was expecting a more creative drink menu with more options to choose from. And it was bar service only, no wait staff. Between the city views, sunset, and intimate setting, this place is great for a date night spot. I'd come back for the views and vibe alone!

Every drink earns you a token to vote for one of four local charities that change monthly. At the end of the month, the charity with the most tokens receives a donation. I love to see the wall of monthly winners, and note the difference this bar has made in our community. This has to be a win for all given you can catch up with friends, enjoy a drink, and support a good cause all at the same time. The space itself is beautiful. Don't forget to look up and check out the stunning glass ceiling, and of course, you have to snap a photo with the iconic Dolly mural while you're there. Staff is always warm and welcoming, and they make fantastic cocktails. Don't miss this spot whether you're stopping by after work, before a downtown event, or winding down after dinner, it's a great place to spend an evening. Drink recommendation: The Giving Bee.

From the moment you walk in, you feel like you've stepped straight into a festive Christmas era--complete with twinkling lights, over-the-top décor, and nonstop holiday music. It's truly a Christmas lover's dream. They offered a variety of holiday-themed cocktails, and I tried the Green Mean One, a mint chocolate vodka drink. I'd never had a mint-chocolate-flavored cocktail before, but it was surprisingly good--definitely unique and definitely strong. I do wish there were food options, as many other holiday pop-up bars offer themed bites, but it was still a great time overall. I'd definitely recommend checking this place out next holiday season.
