Great bar Met some…read morefriends here after dinner. They were packed and boomin when we arrived. Dj set up right behind us and got the night started right. Even though the place was completely full, the service was still quick and really good. They brought out more chairs to accommodate our growing party and we never had to wait long for drinks. After about an hour, we slid through the back door and into the speakeasy. This portion of the bar was equally impressive and had the same high end vibe. More great service, more great drinks. Some Louis XIII may have been poured- which came with white glove service and a complete history lesson btw lol Literally zero complaints. Just a great night out.

There was a different menu in the front vs. the back. I ordered the Guapo which is a mezcal based drink and it was good. My husband ordered the smoked old fashioned and he thought it was ok. The service was ok and the drinks were kinda pricey. But it was a cute place to get drinks and I'd go back to try another drink.

Great date night vibes. No TVs in here just a warning if you want to escape the World Cup games and crowds. They have a menu on their website of all the whiskeys, bourbons they have if you want a little pour of something extra special. I tried the old forester birthday reserve 2021. Super nice. Nice bathrooms too

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

Loved it! This…read morecharming bar is located on Washington St. And the have valet (you just tip the staff member), the parking space is limited but you can also park behind and access through the back. The vibe is chill but classy, you can talk without the need to yell to be heard. Dimmed lights, cozy and intimate atmosphere, what's not to like?! They have bites and entrees, but I went for bites, the Margarita Pizza was delightful, thin crispy crust with fresh mozzarella cheese. Also got the baked Brie, I love Brie and it didn't disappoint, I just wished the bagged was toasted instead soft. I ordered a drink... PornStar Martini, and I really liked it, it was refreshing and slightly sweet. Our server was very attentive and helpful with the menu, her name.. Hope, she will make sure you had a great experience. Definitely coming back!

They have an assortment of craft cocktails - and $6 wines on tap. I wasn't a fan of the single white they had available, but you kinda can't beat that price for downtown. There's a lofted area with a lot of couch seating. This is is a great spot for dates or groups. They tend to fill up to capacity quickly, so don't get there too late in the evening. They don't have any snacks or bar food, but I did see a small party bring in pizzas from nearby, so that's obvi allowed.

My experiences at nickel city have always been around the time they have the Christmas bar (which…read moreis great!!!!) but I finally made it over to enjoy their regular bar vibes. We came a couple weeks ago during the World Cup and it was the perfect reprieve from all the fan fest craziness. They had a projector on so you could still watch the game but it was much calmer and quieter here. The drinks are super reasonable and the food is typical bar food but honestly really good! The loaded fries are my go to. Overall I really enjoy this bar and will be keeping it in mind for future times when maybe other bars in EADO are a little too crazy.

"A Cocktail Bar That Educates as Much as It Impresses"…read more Houston Watch Co. is everything a great cocktail bar should be. Intimate, thoughtfully designed, and centered around true craftsmanship, it delivers an experience that feels both elevated and welcoming. We started the night with Negronis, which were beautifully balanced and spirit forward. For our next round, my girlfriend ordered an espresso martini that was smooth, rich, and perfectly dialed in. I had the Pray That You Catch Me, made with gin, ginger liqueur, honey, and lemon. Bright, refreshing, and layered, it was the kind of drink that feels simple on the surface but reveals real complexity with every sip. What truly set this place apart was the bartenders. They were incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely enthusiastic about what they do. They took time to explain ingredients, techniques, and flavor profiles, and were more than happy to teach us a few things without ever sounding condescending. That level of passion and approachability elevates the entire experience. The back bar is stunning and sets the tone the moment you walk in. Rows of well curated spirits paired with warm lighting create a space that feels refined but comfortable. It is easy to settle in and enjoy the moment here. Service was attentive, polished, and never rushed. Every drink arrived with care, and every interaction felt intentional.

This place is loaded with great people. This place is loaded with great bourbon. This place is loaded with great drinks at very great prices. As soon as walked in the bartender greeted us. We were told we needed to order at the bar but that we could sit anywhere. Houston Watch Co. has a downstairs bar surrounded by bar stools to sit. They also have an upstairs with lots of comfortable chairs and a few sofas. The lights are dim making this bar feel like a cozy speakeasy. The drinks are priced great and made to order. We parked at the Binz Garage and walked in a beautiful Friday afternoon in Houston. I highly recommend that you go and enjoy your time at the Houston Watch Co.
