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.

I've been to Nomad Reserve a couple times. This most recent time was for their brunch. Their dinner…read moremenu is a bit more extensive and with better options compared to their brunch menu. 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.

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.

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.

There's a split - one side is seating and a dance floor type atmosphere and the other side is more set up to have an event because there is a stage. Great ambiance, lighting and everything. The food is GOODT. We got the boudin rolls, sliders and fries for the group, all very good. And the DRANKS, not drinks are good and SKRONG for a very nice price. I don't know what the regular side is like but we definitely had a great time for our event and it's a definite return to spot for us if we hold anything in the future.

Came to Foxtrap for Valentine's Day with my boo and the vibe had potential, but the experience was…read morea bit of a mixed bag. We were greeted immediately by the host and seated right away--honestly, that was the smoothest and best service we received all night. After that... things slowed down a lot. It took forever for our waitress to come to the table. I tried to give grace since it was Valentine's Day, but the place wasn't even crowded, so the delay was confusing. Now let's talk about the lavender lemon drop--because when it finally arrived? Whew. Delicious. Smooth, flavorful, and dangerously sneaky. I genuinely couldn't taste the alcohol, which is both a compliment and a warning . The wait time for the drink was long, but the payoff was there. For food, we ordered the Trap Trio (egg rolls, chicken sliders, and wings). Everything tasted good, though we asked for grilled chicken sliders and received fried instead. Not a dealbreaker, but worth noting. Still enjoyable overall. I also had the shrimp Caesar salad. The shrimp were well-seasoned and not rubbery (thankfully), but the salad itself didn't really stand out--just okay, nothing memorable. Overall, Foxtrap is a nice vibe spot with good drinks and decent food. I really hope the service improves and that the waitstaff receives more consistent training, because with better service, this place could truly shine.

I appreciated that they have their own private parking lot so I didn't have to park on the streets or pay for parking. As soon as you go in, it is so dark you have to give your eyes a moment to adjust, especially if you're coming from the sunlight, but it did remind me of bars I've seen elsewhere. It's got that cool dark vibe definitely expecting some kind of rock band to play. It does seem small, but there is ample seating behind the stage on the way to the bathroom. Bartender was great super nice. She was very patient and also made recommendation for us as we didn't know what to drink. They also had a happy hour which is always a plus the restrooms as well. We're clean another plus. We didn't stay long so I know they were supposed to have somebody come play, but I highly recommend recommended. I don't know if they had food. They probably did. We didn't order any or ask.

Food was good. Love the southwest eggrolls. Jollof rice was not like any I've had before, it was just rice and some smoky flavor. Wings were decent, loved the taste of the ranch & they ain't skimpy on the napkins, love that. Music bingo isn't exactly like the bingo I've done. This was regular bingo, they just had good music playing. I don't really think that they need an MC, as they kept telling us to look at the screen for the numbers. The prizes are good though. Also, they are $15 a piece for three squares and three games However, they charge two hidden fees (they don't tell you ahead of time) on the check, one is for 20% and the other is I believe 3%. Plus, the way that the drinks were advertised to us was not how they came on the bill.

Pros Ambience Hookah…read moreVariety Music Selection Cons Asthma Risk Patron Mixture Risk The Hookah lounge was comfortable however I'm not a big hookah smoker because it makes me dizzy after a while. This night I went with one of my close sorority sisters and ended up smoking hookah with her. This location was dark and very easy on the eyes. It showcased a heavy middle eastern influence since hookah is heavy there. The variety of options are given in a menu style and allow you to pick whatever fits your needs at the time. You are also able to freely smoke as long as you would like with the occasional waiter coming to replace the coals on your hookah. They also hire their DJs every night, so the music can change and control the mood depending on what is played. The do played a variety of music from hip hop to r&b and pop, there was no shortage on the tunes just know that they will change. The downside of this place is the smoke, if you're asthmatic or have trouble seeing this place might pose a couple of risk to you. You might have trouble breathing or being able to see the ground as you walk into the puff clouds of other patrons. There is also a mixture of patrons, some there to enjoy themselves and others to have parties and fun, if you're set on a flat consistent vibe then this may not be a place, there was someone on a couch enjoying their entire life while we were there, luckily we didn't care how they did anything it didn't interfere with us. Risk was also a major thing to be mindful of, the coals can be extremely hot and give damaging burns, people can also get sick from the hookah so be careful of the health risk and also use caution around the hookah to avoid coals! Overall a good place, if you're in Houston definitely stop by and have a good time.
