This alien bar has a very fun galactic theme with funky vibes. I really liked sitting upstairs. However, the cocktail I got, the Black Hole Sun, had a giant block of ice in it with barely any liquid. I was very disappointed by this. It tasted good, but it was gone in a few sips. Maybe the concept of the black hole drink is that there's nothing there. I got a Bishop cider after that and enjoyed my much larger and lower-priced drink. Their cocktail menu looks cool but is hard to read. read more

Nice bar, esp because of the decor and black lights. Lots of trippy things to look at. The bar is not huge and seating can be limited if you show up late. If you don't have a seat at the bar, its going to be a bit awkward if you are solo due to the amount of booths and tables. Parking looked tight onsite, you might need to figure out parking beforehand. They have a bunch of specialty cocktails. I tried a few of them but they are tiny and expensive. You're going to rack up a huge bill if you come thirsty and hit up those mixology drinks. They do offer beer but nothing great. This seems like more of a place for people having a good night without alcohol. read more

Roswell's Saloon - Art of Seduction - Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

This was an overall OK experience to me. I would definitely say the best part of this place is the decor because it is an outer space themed bar and they definitely did a good job of creating that type of environment while you're inside. However, they did advertise being able to add Delta eight to any drink of their choice, but we were told that they ran out so that was disappointing. I also thought the service was OK. Our bartender gave us what we wanted, which was really just drinks, but there was just not much else to say outside of that. They don't serve food here and my drink was OK but nothing to write home about so overall, it was a fair experience. read more

What a psychedelic place!!! In the heart of Houston, this alien/space inspired saloon with a splash of 70s really takes you into another world. I'm all for it! The crowd is mixed but mostly a lot of people in their 20s here. Super fun environment. Drinks are of course) pricey but is an exceptional saloon with a super unique quality. I would definitely recommend. Parking is hard so I would say to park somewhere and uber for sure. Refugee is right across the street if it's a bit too trippy for your liking. I would say I wish this place was bigger. Super small inside and hard to even stand. I would say about 30 people fit comfortably downstairs and maybe 10 people fit comfortably upstairs. Still love this place and highly recommend. If you are going with a group, i would try getting there before 10 if you want to save some seats! It can get crowded on a Saturday night. read more

What a cool and unique spot! They have so many led and black lights and really did a great job with theme! When I first arrived I did think that the space was much smaller than I anticipated so might want to keep that in mind if you are planning to go with a large group. The drinks were well priced and very affordable! You ordered at the bar and could sit anywhere. There is an upstairs area as well that is very cool to overlook below. There was a DJ playing inside as well that played some great classic "party hits" mostly targeted at upper 20s and 30s aged crowd. Overall a cool place to check out and at least grab a drink! read more

New favorite bar! What a neat, original and just fun bar overall. We came here with some friends on a Friday night at around 8pm and as soon as we walked in, we couldn't stop taking pictures! We then went to the bar to order our drink and there are so many neat cocktail options that make it hard to choose. I decided on the Cosmic Cooler which had coconut rum, herbal liqueur, guanabana nectar, lemongrass syrup, lime and pineapple purée. I liked it but felt like it should have been stronger. Service was fine but it was a bit of a wait. I would definitely come back for a beer just because I loved the ambiance and decorations so much! read more

So we happened upon this bar walking around Montrose and were so surprised none of us heard of it or saw anything about it on the various lists we've scoured. Upon walking in, it def feels like a fun, trippy vibe with lots of UV and neon. This extends to the drinks as well! Service was good, took our orders and made our drinks relatively quickly. It was surprisingly not super packed for a Saturday night but we weren't complaining. The music here was great and I do wish they had some sort of dance floor but that's just me. The drinks themselves were also just good and fun. I got the mango lassi drink and yes, it tasted amazing and they put some UV active garnishes so it was really fun. Highly recommend for a night out bar hopping! read more

This newish Montrose bar definitely has a fun intergalactic vibe. Roswell's is a great stop for a bit of drinking and hanging out without pretentiousness. The theme of the bar is really highlighted in the decor and even the names and appearance of the signature cocktails. The funky space and aliens theme creates quite the mood, helped by black lights, light box illusions, neon felt posters, and wall of lava lamps. They transported me back to the early 2000s Spencer's Gifts days. It's a fun and unique vibe! I was able to take advantage of the daily 7-8 happy hour special. Half off cocktails is part of the happy hour specials! A monthly rotating cocktail based on the astrological calendar is also offered, which I though was pretty fun. My drink the Illemonati was very tasty and looked delightful under the black light. Upstairs is where the black light posters cover the walls in a groove mosaic masterpiece! Unfortunately it was quite warm upstairs when we visited. The heat was turned up a bit too much, and it was extra toasty. The outside patio is nondescript but offers heat lamps to stay warm as possible on a chilly evening. Overall a nice bar to check out for fun times and fun visuals. read more

Went here for happy hour with my best friend and had a grand time. I first saw this place on IG and knew we def had to check it out. The vibes are IT. The bartenders are also super fun and friendly. We definitely made a few friends that day. Their happy hour is 7-8pm daily, which is perfect because normal happy hour is a little too early for me. I had a few of the Mercury in Retrograde, which is a gin drink and a couple of the Lithium Crystal shots... which was def enough to get our night started. I'm def returning with more of my friends! read more

My stars are for the happy hour (7-8pm). It's one of the few that has one where you aren't rushing after work. Bartenders were nice and friendly, drinks were good enough. Would I go out of my way to recommend this spot? Probably not, but I wouldn't say no if a friend wanted to go. Cute little space-y/neon/black light kinda spot. Parking is in the back behind Boondock's. read more

stopped by Roswell's Saloon because the other bar we originally wanted to visit had a long waitlist. the theme at Roswell is incredibly well-executed - the interior is all glow-in-the-dark, and the drinks match the ambiance. it creates a really cool vibe for hanging out. i saw that they have a happy hour with half-priced cocktails from 7 pm to 8 pm, which is a great deal! definitely keeping that in mind for next time. read more

Cool space themed bar in the heart of Montrose. Decor was pretty neat and the ambiance is casual and inviting. I went on a Saturday evening around 7pm so it wasn't too crowded and my friends and I were easily able to snag a booth on the first floor. If you are looking for a fancy cocktail bar, I wouldn't recommend this place. They have a cosmic themed drink menu and some of their specialty cocktails come pre-made and are just made to look aesthetically pleasing but is nothing to brag about and overpriced, in my opinion. If you come between 7-8pm, they have half off all cocktails. That's something I'd come back for but overall, this is not my scene. Still definitely a cool place to check out if you're bar hopping in the area. Parking: Valet only but if you venture into the neighborhoods you can find street parking. read more

Came here with my bf for his birthday while on a short trip to Houston. The drinks were reasonably priced and very enjoyable. I really liked the cosmic vibe with glow in the dark decor and drink options. The bartender was very kind and answered all questions and was able to describe the drinks in detail. Great experience will definitely stop by when we are in Houston again. read more

I came here on a busy Saturday evening and had a blast. The space/glow in the dark theme is like the grown up version of cosmic bowling (minus the actual bowling, of course), and there was a DJ playing some catchy tunes. In terms of drinks, I got a Planetary Intergalatic mocktail for ~$7, which was a sweet drink with orange, raspberry, and grapefruit flavors. Parking is a little complicated. There is valet parking or self-parking, both of which you had to pay, so I would suggest people take advantage of the nearby (free) street parking. read more

The atmosphere was great service was OK. Drinks were super cool. I think if they played it a little bit better I'm using maybe a little bit louder as well. They could really get the party going in there!! And get people dancing read more

This place so amazing! Great atmosphere great drinks, they have a crap ton of customized drinks that are amazing! I tried quite a bit of them. The atmosphere is dope you can tell that a lot of thought went into the infinity table, the glow in the dark theme and the over all design of the area. It is big enough to have an event that could hold a lot of people. The service was excellent. Steve (I think his name was) who was the manager but also was making drinks was super dope and cool. I'll definitely be back. read more

I didn't eat any food here. However, I did have a few drinks. The drinks were smaller than what I expected to be. They come in these cups that are like plastic feeling. but I really, really love the neon in the building. They have a two-story building so I really like the upstairs and the downstairs. I got some really amazing pictures here so it's really good for ambience and for photography. It's really close to other businesses around the area so once you are done drinking there, you can either go eat or check out another bar. The service was okay. The bartenders were nice. I'd come back on a busy day lol read more

YOU NEED TO COME HERE!! I have only been to Roswell's twice and each time have been awesome! It's a very chill, laid back type of bar. You don't have to put in your highest heels or fanciest suit by any means (I wore yoga pants). It's very psychedelic, neon lights, take a small rave and place it at a bar, boom.. Roswell's. Even the drinks match the energy of the bar! My drink even had bursting boba in the bottom which was a pleasant little surprise. When you go, make sure you check out the second floor as the art is pretty incredible! read more

Love love love the drinks and vibe of this place. I mean what's not to like! You have neon lights, a great happy hour and good music. It is a tad small and I can see it getting crowded quickly. I do encourage you all to check it out as soon as it opens so you can get the entire feel of the place before it's too many people. read more

I love this place!! I came here when they opened and drinks were half priced! Personally, service was great! Our bartender had a few recommendations since we weren't familiar with the menu. I also felt the ambiance was great. Granted I didn't stay all night I think the opening hours were great and a lot more calm. Great for socializing and hanging out with a couple of friends. Drinks were meh. Nothing to brag about so I'm glad they were half off. Also, be ready to have ID's at the door. They will not let you in if you don't have one. read more

My friends and I LOVE coming here. We've been a few times in the past year and always have fun. Sunset hour is my favorite time to go when all drinks are half off and it's more chill. The bartenders are really friendly and always make us laugh. They kindly gave us free shots in celebration of my sister's birthday. Chris also gave her a free drink. She loved the Leo. :-) The illuminati drink is my personal fave. We have also been when it gets packed later in the night and it's still a fun vibe. This is one of my favorite places in Houston. I love places that give that extra special touch and have such a friendly staff. Can't wait to come back! read more

Roswell's Saloon - upstairs - Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

I went to this place twice in the last week. This is not a fancy cocktail bar. I love the concept. Western Saloon meets Space: The Final Frontier. I was underwhelmed with the cocktails. A lot of the cocktails were not served in the same glass photographed and that made me disappointed. I also don't like paying $15 for a cocktail that is premixed. Some cocktails are premixed and some are mixed on the spot. I liked the Mango Lassi inspired cocktail and cancer - both are served in the correct glasses and are mixed on the spot. However, all of this is second to the awe that is the gimmick - and I love a good gimmick bar. I've had a lot of fun this week bringing guests out of town to Houston's newest fun spot. Idk i really love this place and overpriced cocktails won't keep me from returning- I'll just get a beer next time. Nothing wrong with the bartenders and staff - I've found everyone super courteous. I was carded to enter on both Wednesday night at 7:30pm and Saturday at 9pm, and I definitely look older than 21, so just be expected to be carded if you go. read more

Issa Vibe. They clearly spared no expense on making it feel like you were fully inmesered in space city. Everything down to the toliet seats were themed. Service was great- our bartender was super nice. The drinks were well priced $9-$15 dollars. Which if you drink anywhere within the loop that is a steal. They were also V strong. I wasn't crazy about the drinks. They just weren't anything to write home about but they definitely win in presentation. Overall, I enjoyed my time there. I would come back! read more

This might be my new favorite bar!!!! It's located in Montrose directly Next door to Boondocks. Parking was a little tricky but I found a spot in one of the streets nearby. Definitely go when it's dark outside so you get the full black light experience. 7-8pm is happy hour everyday. The drinks were tasty and just the vibe of this place was awesome. Bartenders were friendly and fast at making the drinks. Do yourself a favor and check out Roswell's !!! read more

Fun spot with amazing decor! A friend and I walked over here after visiting a neighboring bar. This place is over the top in decoration and vibes. Pricing for drinks is definitely on the higher side but for the experience I didn't mind. We order shots that were glowing in a cool crystal shot glass with glitter. I had an orange ranch water that also sparkled and had popping boba inside. My friend ordered a few beers and they were standard prices. The seating is limited but plenty of standing space. I will say we walked in around 10 on a Friday night and seats were already filled up. We eventually snagged a booth but as the night progresses the place became super packed. Not sure on the parking situation, looked mostly like valet only option. And the bathrooms are also wacky and space decorated too. Definitely worth recommend checking this place out at least once. They did a great job with decoration and the cocktails were totally worth it in my opinion. read more

Whereas Poison Girl felt like a nice, traditional welcoming bar experience, this one just felt off. Vibes were weird, workers were kind of a mood killer. First guy I run into when I walked in carded me even though I'm clearly a grown a$$ man with full facial hair and sideburns all over. Didn't see him card anybody else that walked in, btw, but I was the only brotha, so maybe that had something to do with it. The bartender took forever to serve me, she spent more time flirting with the group of frat boys and it took her damn near a half hour to ask me what I wanted. Once she did get to me, I could tell she wasn't even gonna bother to show me half of the same enthusiasm she showed them even though I tipped her $20 on a $12 drink. Once I finally ordered and received the drink, it was okay but nothing worth a trip for. I walked over from Poison Girl only because I was randomly exploring looking to hop from bar to bar to kill time until I had to catch a show. This bar and the experience of being in this bar is what these new cats like to describe as "mid". Cool lighting though, I guess. read more

I went here twice last week and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The first night I went was a weekdays and the ambience was more chill. Definitely cool decor worth seeing. The cocktails are typical price around $9-$15. (I thought the drinks were quite strong, so worth it) There is happy hour daily 7-8 with half price house cocktails which I will definitely be back for! The other night I went was Friday and it was quite crowded. Still a cool spot but it was small and cramped. Hard to order drinks as well with the amount of people there. I definitely still recommend this spot for some cool photos and drinks. read more
