    Super cute we went for happy hour very worth the happy hour. Service was good. I'm good. We'll be back.

    Cute bar. Super friendly bar staff. We tried the Airmail on our last visit and it was too sweet, and I'm someone that likes sweet drinks. But I've had other great cocktails from here. I wouldn't say it's a bar that you go out of your way to come to POST solely for. But definitely worth visiting when you're already there.

    Friendly service snd good looking bartenders lol they suggested a few specialties and they were right because everything we got was delicious. We ordered a few drinks they made them right in front of us and quickly. I think it's the only bar at the post that I noticed so why not give it a shot. Can't go wrong

    Whenever I'm indulging at POST Market, I inevitably will find myself at Return to Sender. It is one of the most active stalls in the food court and is a perfect place to bring a friend, a date, or a fun group of folks to imbibe the night away. It's not just a regular bar that serves well drinks in a food court. It's more of a stall that serves adult cocktails at post-pandemic prices. It's going to be between $15- $16 for most of their specialty or signature drinks. The menus constantly changing which makes it a good option. Bartenders are usually super cool, but hats off to Dez. He has always been incredibly friendly and goes out of his way to ensure my folks have a great time. Both him and Jarmel make some of the most potent cocktails on this side of downtown, and I have always appreciated his down-to-earth spirit. While they don't serve food, one can purchase it from any of the stalls and eat it here. They have no issues with folks eating as long as they're drinking as well. When it gets crowded, the wait for a drink becomes understandably a little longer. I would recommend going with one of their pre-mixed cocktails that is being served out of a tap.

    If you're a fan of French 75s, don't pass up Love Letter. Fruity without being too sweet. Bartender was very friendly and made this helpful recommendation

    Amazing drinks for a beautiful place. Kamiko gave us great recommendations and I got the Southern Belle and my friend got the Hot Girl Summer. Perfect balance to the colorful and lively food court. 10 out of 10.

    Jamison, Sprite, and apple juice mix.

    Xandra is amazing. She is friendly and she was very beautiful. She helped me figure out which drink I wanted during happy hour because I'm very picky. The drink was amazing, strong, and very tasty. Definitely coming back for round two.

    Karbach Cerveza - this was categorized as a dark beer.
    DeHorne S.

    Nice dude working the taps. I wanted a beer and wanted something a little bit heavier. So on the beer menu, under the "In the mood for something dark?", they had a few options, one of them was Guinness and a few more options, but one of them stood out to me and it was the "Karbach Cerveza". I know Karbach very well, and they're not known for their dark beers. I also know "cerveza" in general eludes to light and crisp beers. So I was curious but suspicious yet willing to try it out. Just like what I suspected, It was a light and crisp beer. SMH. What a tremendous let down. How you gonna put a light and crisp beer under " In the mood for something dark?" Either someone grossly do not understand beer, or they just don't care to curate a beer menu correctly.

    Southern Belle: Ford's Gin with Blueberry Lavender Syrup, and Bubbles (aka, Champagne)
    Felyn B.

    My off-and-on go-to pre-concert drinks place -- whew! Lol. If you're looking for a place to get a cocktail, this is the place. In fact, if not wrong, it's the only place. Located almost in the middle of the Food Hall inside of Post Houston, it gets a lot of patrons depending on who playing in concert at the 713 Music Hall nearby. I usually get excellent service from the employees at that place, even when the place gets busy. I wish some patrons observed be patient while trying to order; you're not the only one who waiting. I skipped out on my usual order of an Old Fashioned, and tried one of their seasonal drinks: Southern Belle. It was made with Ford's Gin, Blueberry Lavender syrup, and Champagne. Plus, it included a couple of blueberries, which I loved. It was really good! File the drink under: I Would've Had Two If I Wasn't Driving. Lol. Oh, shout out to Kamiko. She was patient when answering my question on what "bubbles" were. The answer was Champagne. Lol. Hey, it could have been a brand I've never heard about.

    10/10 for the bartenders! Drinks were mixed well and the bartenders gave a nice vibe! There were a variety of drink of options and daily specials to choose from.

    Drink: Green tea (drink version)  Taste: sweet, strong & a tad bit sour Feelings: I enjoyed it.  Service: above average.
    Faith D.

    I enjoyed the experience. The bar tender was very attentive. The music was vibe. My chicken Alfredo pasta with spinach and mushrooms always BUSTS!

    Marissa M.

    I enjoyed this bar while visiting POST for the first time. It sits amongst all the eateries in the food hall and is one of a kind for the craft cocktails. Our bartender was Lexi who is bubbly and fun. She recommended the Damaged Goods cocktail which is topped with champagne. Just one of these alone can potentially leave you stumbling off your barstool. The drinks are definitely worth the price because they aren't weak. I enjoyed the galactic vibes from the design at this bar and it's the perfect destination for after work drinks, a first date before a stroll on the sky lawn rooftop. Check them out along with Address Unknown. I'm loving the postal references in the names paying homage to the original post office building.

    Cocktail so good I forgot to take the before pic. Light & crispy and not overwhelmingly sweet. Watermelon lemon drop was ON POINT!! Don't tell yalls grandma about this one! Taste like them watermelon candies!

    After enjoying a late night snack at Handos, we decided to mosey on over to Kampai Club. I had…read moreheard good things for years, and I remember driving past it a couple times and not seeing it or any signage. Even this time the GPS took us to an entrance that had us going the wrong way down a one-way, but we eventually figured it out I will say that the parking isn't all that great, but we were able to find a spot. If the parking lot is full you should be able to find street parking nearby Kanpai Club is a sister location to Handos. They share a kitchen and you can walk through an inside door access either. You can find the same cocktails and bites from Handos on the Kanpai menu, but there's also additional drinks and bites The bar feels like a Japanese Izakaya. It's a narrow space resembling a Japanese outdoor bar. It's intimately lit and well decorated. We did have to wait for two spots to open up, but that didn't take too long The bartenders were friendly, professional, and efficient. We went on a Friday night (fairly late), and they had two dedicated bartenders The cocktails were fun and were beautifully crafted. Most were served in novelty glassware. You can order classic cocktails, but both Kanpai and Hando offer a variety of signature cocktails. Most having some sort of Japanese or Asian fusion. They have beer, wine, and extensive sake list, as well as green tea and other nonalcoholic options The cocktails were tasty. The only one I was iffy on was their Espresso martini. It was poured from a machine and I guess there were having issues with it. The presentation was phenomenal. There was a roasted marshmallow garnish. The drink itself was far too Smokey in flavor than I like, or at least in terms of my espresso martinis The Yuzu Kosho fries were incredible. The flavors really hit the spot. The Okinawa Potato salad was both questionable to looks and and to eat lol. This purple mound of potato's had an interesting taste, look, and consistency. It wasn't bad, just... interesting and new Some tips: If you can't find this spot from the street, look for Handos. It's part of this restaurant Ask the bartender about the happy hour menu. And most nights they're open until 12am, but on Fridays and Saturdays they are open until 2am If you order food online (technically from Hando's) you can get 10% off using code: HANDO10. This is part of their "Hando and Chill" special Cheers!!

Our server, Camille, took our order and then would disappear for 30+ minutes at a time. At one point, when we asked where she had been, she simply said she was "walking around." Her overall approach to serving us felt extremely nonchalant and inattentive. The atmosphere also made us feel as though the level of attention you receive depends on how much you're spending--particularly whether you're purchasing bottles. The servers seemed more focused on creating a bottle-service experience than providing attentive restaurant service. It gave the evening a very transactional, "pay for attention" feeling rather than genuine hospitality. What really sealed the experience for us happened after we had already paid our bill. A host approached our table and essentially said, "Can you leave now? We need to seat someone right now." There was no gracious transition, no "thank you for dining with us," and no polite explanation--just an abrupt request to leave. For a restaurant with such a beautiful ambiance and good food, the service and hospitality were incredibly disappointing. Guests should feel welcomed and valued from the moment they sit down until the moment they leave, regardless of whether they're ordering bottles.

This location is casual and has plenty of seating (tables, bar + outdoor seating). You order at the counter and typically wait around 20 minutes for the pizza to be ready.

I've only tried the Pepperoni Madness and Fancy Backpacker. The crust is perfectly thin and the toppings pair well together. I would also recommend adding pepperoni to the Fancy Backpacker. Gypsy Poet is always consistent with the taste and service, you can always expect a good experience in both aspects.

The dough had a nice chew, and the crust kept that consistency throughout. This was the only pizza spot we hit up during our Houston trip, and I'm glad we chose this place.

It's located right at 19th St. and Shepherd near the light. There's a small angled parking lot that can be tight when people park along the fence. It looks like a cute tiny A-frame home with a few patio tables in the front. The inner area has about 6-7 high tables. It's nice and clean inside. The vibe feels similar to H-Town Brewing Co. but on a smaller scale. You can also sit at the bar. I didn't really like the high tables/chairs. They're not as comfortable. It was hot out, and there are mosquitos, so we sat inside. I ordered the salmon plate for steak night. The drinks here are ok, and since I don't really drink, I was looking for mocktail options. In this era, most places have mocktail options with brand alternatives like Ritual, Seedlip and Lyre's or at the least, something with juice, Topo Chico and simple syrup. The female bartender made me a NA margarita which was great. I liked that she didn't make it too sweet or too tart which happens with mocktails that don't have alternatives and are mostly juice or lemon. On the other hand, when I ordered a second, the guy bartender made it too sweet. I didn't like his version. For the alcoholic versions, they seem to have good cocktails, wine, beer and flights. They also have daily specials. Aside from the steak night, they don't serve food here. It wouldn't be my first choice of bars in this area.

They have a food truck outside that serves food, from what we were informed. Thank you Tre for inviting me here. They did not have any food menus for the truck at the time of my visit. Happy hour start at 2pm, and the $1 Tiny Tini's start at 6pm.
