I've been to Patterson about 3-4 times now. The first was with my best friend when it first opened about 4-5 years ago. It was busy then and can still get busy on trivia/steak nights. It makes for a full parking lot. There's gravel lots added in the grassy area next to the concrete lot. You can get towed with the street parking. If you live nearby, you can also walk the trail along the bayou to get here the back way. I've done that trail from near Taylor and I-10 to here. The place itself is a cool treehouse concept. The stairs can be a little steep. The hazard tape is peeling, and the painted stairs can be slippery when raining. Be careful going down to the food truck or walking up/down to the top level. The top level has great views of the city/downtown. There's indoor seating with A/C and patio seating on all levels. When it rains though, inside is best. I've tried a variety of their cocktails and mocktails, and they're all pretty good. Bartenders are always friendly. Easy to place an order at the bar. I wish they had NA options from Ritual and Seedlip or something other than juices for their mocktails. Trivia nights are fun and busy. All size groups participate. Steak night is pricey compared to other Heights locations who offer it. It's about $10 more because the steak and side are separate, whereas other places give you the steak and 2 sides in the $20-25 range. Steak night here offers more variety though. You can either get ribeye, filet, salmon or shrimp brochette ranging from $17-28. Sides are $4. It's served by Culinary Creations by MER food truck. The steak and potatoes are flavored so well. I had the 14 oz ribeye because they ran out of 12 oz. It was a little hard to cut with plasticware. My friends' filets were easier to cut. For some reason, every time I try to upload the steak photo, it doesn't stay posted here. I get that it's from a food truck, but other food truck photos are posted on the Patterson page. You should see how great the steak looks. Patterson is a cool, chill place that everyone young and old can enjoy. The clientele was varied as all enjoy a good drink, food and trivia/board games.
The service was great, the place seems really lively very cool hang out spot i just wish they had late night food available. Overall I had a great time, pet friendly as well.
Not a bad bar or lounge area. Parking is good. They have food truck outside that's different every time so check their schedule. They have a lot of interesting areas decorated, to chill. Bartenders and the servers do a good job at getting your drinks to you quickly. We went during a slow time and there was barely anyone there. Hoping it was going to be a lot more lit.
You've been warned that this is a Philadelphia Eagles bar with the Eagles flag and swag displayed outside and inside. So if you root for any other NFC east teams, you may be met with some friendly hostility (depending how the birds are performing). With that said, the set up of the place has indoor high tops, lounging tables and couches, and outdoor seating with soft chairs/couches and tvs playing. There's also an upstairs area that gives an overview of the surroundings. As with most Houston bars in the Heights area, the focus is seasonal crafted cocktails. For the winter, there's a couple of good ones such as the grinch (cucumber, lime, mint, tequila) which is refreshing. The pumpkin ol fashion is also a popular one; sadly they're always sold out of it whenever I try to order it. Bartenders are attentive and do a solid job getting your drinks to you. As for food, there is a food truck outside with a rotation schedule on their website. Reminds me a lot of other bars in the Heights area with the set up, parking situation, and location. Not a bad bar.
Came here back in December 2023, just before Christmas. The place was all decked out in Christmas cheer. Including Christmas trees, drinks, staff, and lights. Located on the white oak bayou trail. It was a pretty large group of Yelpers + other folks that came here for some fun casual day drinking and celebrate the holidays. Sort of an informal UYE. We started out by the bar on the first floor, but eventually, our group went up to the tree house to perch out. It wasn't a super clear day, so views of skyline were just ok. Parking - I easily found parking, but I was there very early, way before the crowd. I like that they have a designated lot. If i return, it would be during daylight hours again, so I don't have to fight to figure out parking outside of the lot. Drinks - I like that they had a festive drink menu. My first drink was "Mrs. Clause", probably my favorite of the 3. My second drink, French 76B, is not on the seasonal menu, but on there regular menu. I know this is a little nitpicky, but all the pics from the reviews it seemed like a darker shade of purple than mine. Almost like I had too much champagne and not enough gin/lemon, so it wasn't as well balanced. My third drink was back to the seasonal menu, "It's Giving", it was fine, not as good as the first. I think all the drinks would be worth it for happy hour. Service - was fine. Different bartenders each time I ordered downstairs on the first level. No one stood out, but no one ruined the vibe either. My first bartender did offer suggestions, which I appreciated. The crowd picked up the longer we stayed. I like that they had a water cooler upstairs in the tree house, so we didn't need to ask for it, self-serve. Tons of in and outdoor seating all over the establishment. I would say great for groups. Overall, I think our group had a good time. Would I come back? Sure, if friends suggested it again. But with the caveat of during the day for ease of parking, to enjoy the patio and its outdoor activities.
Atmosphere is cool and perfect place to watch a game. We enjoyed our visit with a nice cool weather today. It's mostly outside but half of it has roof over. Also, dog friendly. Food seems to be only by a food truck. Has full bar. A little loud with the game and being outside, but wasn't bad for a game day.
A friend and I were looking for a casual patio bar to go to and decided we'd check out Patterson Park. Both the inside and the patio were already pretty busy when we arrived at about 6:30PM on a Friday evening but we were able to find two seats at the bar. It was still happy hour at 6:30 so we ordered two Deep Eddy's drinks with the bartender. The bartender working was quick to get us our drinks and was also very friendly! Overall, this was a fun place to start the evening! We'd definitely visit again!
This is one of the dog friendly places I researched. One of my favorite places. We always go early to mid-afternoon so we've never encountered the parking or crowding problems others have mentioned. The employees have always been cordial. Not overly friendly but not standoffish either. They let you have your space but don't pester you. We take a dog or two. Sit up on the second floor where there's usually a breeze. We get the vegetation from the bayou behind and the spectacular view of downtown to the fore. Bartender lady makes a perfect Campari spritz. BF is not as picky as I am about what to drink but again is also harder to please, does this make sense? So I'll usually grab him a Crawford bock. Food trucks almost always have something I can eat (I'm celiac) and are almost always presenting tasty fare. If not, I can have french fries. If they have tacos, I've hit the jackpot. Sometimes there are other doggos to say hello to as well as their owners. Love this place. I think I'll go there tomorrow afternoon. Here's hoping there's a breeze.
We didn't spend much time inside since there was a football game on and it was packed. When we first came in we saw the food trucks out front and were carded to get in, which made me happy to know there wouldn't be kids (sorry! Lol). We kinda stood at the bar until someone gave us a drink menu vs being greeted but that's ok. The drinks were good. Once we got our drinks we went straight outside to the patio. There were tons of seating, large tvs, and heaters (cold day). A few little pups out there so dog friendly but no smoking which was another plus. I believe there was a downstairs area but we didn't go. We did go upstairs and it was a nice view of the city, a small bar and tables with seating, heaters and tvs. It was overall a positive experience and not a club bar vibe which was what we wanted, just a chill night.
Great dog-friendly spot! We had such a great time at Patterson Park! The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and it was especially amazing being able to enjoy the experience with our dogs. I really appreciated how dog-friendly they are. they have multiple water bowls available throughout the area, which made it so easy to keep our pups comfortable and hydrated. It's such a thoughtful touch and definitely makes the place feel welcoming for pet owners. We had a wonderful experience and will absolutely be back! read more

Patterson Park is a fun sports bar in The Heights. The bar itself is very large and is great for large groups, however parking isn't adequate for the size of the bar. They do have a moderate sized parking lot and limited street parking, but you'd be better off carpooling or taking a rideshare. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and they have a two story deck that is great to sit on when the weather is nice. The patio is also dog friendly. They have some really good craft cocktails and their menu changes seasonally. They also have mocktails which are equally as tasty. One of the cocktails that I really enjoyed is the French 765B which is a lavender French 75. If you need a bite to eat, they have a small food truck on site. They also allow outside food to be brought in which I found out on my most recent. I've been to their steak and trivia night on Thursdays which is so much fun! Trivia is ran by Challenge Entertainment. The prizes for trivia are gift cards that can be used at the bar. The steak is provided by Culinary Designs by M.E.R. and it's really good. If you don't want steak, they also offer salmon and shrimp. In addition to steak and trivia on Thursdays, they have daily specials and theme nights too. It's definitely a fun atmosphere. read more
This is such a cool patio bar it gives off treehouse vibes as you have a view of being high up in trees from the patio. Such a lovely view. Real cool spot to kick back and relax. Board games available and they do bingo nights and other fun events. Drinks were good, service is good. Very spacious area. There is a second floor so you would have an even higher outdoor view from there. Food trucks available, when I visited Lotus seafood was there and a crawfish tent. read more

$5 mimosas and there dangerous hahah. I wouldn't recommend there cocktails as they were super sweet. Went on a sunday and had the worst bartender extremely rude lady . I went to a different one the second time and had a guy which was a lot nicer! Love the inside and outside of the bar super cool place. The design of the building is pretty great! The taco truck is sooo yummy but expensive and not alot of food for what you pay for. read more

Great patio bar tucked back on Patterson near the Heights on Houston. Great place to get the pups out. Plenty of great drinks including thc options for those abstaining from the sauce which is what I went for! One of my favorite happy hour spots for sure! read more
Cute spot! Great view of the city from upstairs, dog friendly anywhere except inside. Will be interesting to see what they do with the upper deck, as it will soon be too hot to use. Could have had more tables upstairs, lots of space but you have to stand on the edge if you want to put your drink down. They had valet and a parking lot... but it was a mess. I would recommend walking, biking or ride share at least til things calm down. read more
Love our new neighborhood bar! But I would highly encourage walking if you can, biking, or getting an Uber. They have bike racks and bikers get 10% off! Happy hour is from 2-7 PM and all drinks are $1 off. They haven't started their daily specials yet since they just opened yesterday. Parking spots are limited and it was SO packed by the time we left (around 6 pm). This is a huge and open spaced bar though. Hubby got some beers and I got the Schwayze and booker tea. Both were really good and refreshing on a hot day. The schwayze is basically an alcoholic Shirley temple and the booker tea is an alcoholic Arnold Palmer. They have food trucks set up outside everyday. Today we tried melt on wheels and that was tasty! Really solid grilled cheese sandwiches. Love this new neighborhood bar, but also love that we can walk cause the street got so congested and backed up from all the cars. read more

Lots of good drinks and so much patio space. Great chill place to go for drinks especially on a nice day. They always have rotating food trucks that are good too! read more
Vibes-5 * Drinks-5 * Dog-Friendly-4 * Parking-2 We came to visit on opening weekend. The space is great, including a multi-level patio and trendy indoor decor. I was drawn by the wine list. It's hard to find many casual, dog-friendly patio bars that have a strong wine list (but are not exclusively a wine bar). There were definitely a few opening weekend hiccups. Parking and valet were a mess. There was limited parking and the valet were clearly overwhelmed. Patterson Park is a "cashless" establishment, but the valet they hired was "cash only." When I parked, they told me $20 but told my friend $10... and then ended up charging us nothing (we still tipped). Service was also quite slow and bartenders appeared to not be fully knowledgeable of the menu. Overall, I will definitely return... but I'll maybe wait a couple weeks until the parking & service glitches are more resolved. read more

Came here for a football game and it was a fun time! Plenty of people to enjoy the game with, but not overly crowded. They also had plenty of heaters on the patio so we enjoyed our time without getting cold! Drinks were good, food was just okay (probably depends on which food trucks are there). The parking lot was full so street parking was necessary. read more

It's brand spanking new...'outta this, outta that"...yaddayadda. Folks this place proves Houston bar life is BACK! They're Staff was very visible, ready to help (its in the eyes). Bathrooms A+. Great counter made margaritas. They have an impressive bar of liquor offerings with 'Tenders who know how to mix. Even loved the food truck offerings: The Melt on Wheels - satisfying and yummy grilled cheese platform sandwiches. The other...great Korean BBQ cheese but we could find a readable name on the truck but it was good! Both fast and hot and affordable. And g to be downtown views... Need I say more? We're fans and will be back, on our bikes! read more

This is a cute new spot that just opened up. There's seating in both the inside and outside, and even has rooftop seating. There are food trucks that serve a variety of food and I believe the food trucks change weekly. The drinks are A1 and are soooo tasty! I really enjoyed the rum punch with the splash of vanilla. I also tried their version of a Long Island with mango and it was delicious! Just to be noted this place is dog friendly so bring your pup! read more
