It wasn't awkward at all, and because you're seated at a table full of other people - i didn't stand out for not having a partner or group. They don't have their own space, so we rented out a room at Clutch Distillery. The even was inside, in a cozy room where they had all of our supplies set up for us on tables in little stations. There were 15 of us in the class, with 5 people at each table. The instructors were clear and gave you all of the information needed to have a successful cake building experience. The cakes turned out honestly so much better than I imagined, as I am no where near an expert! The class was just under two hours, and the girls packed up our cakes for us to travel home with. And yes, it was dug into as soon as we got home and was absolutely delicious. Great experience and would highly recommend

I've ordered the same meal at both the Chicago and Houston locations for dinner . The infamous seafood trio & the spinach & artichoke dip. The pasta is pretty consistent between both locations. In Chicago we had the option to add lamb chops for about $6 a piece. However, the spinach dip in Chicago comes with garlic bread. So i was surprised when the app hit the table in housing. I thought the kitchen made a mistake but it just doesn't come that way. It really takes away from the dish. One thing I'd like to mention is the welcome shot. Not sure what it is but it's tasty. The cocktails are also cute and delicious. This most recent visit I tried put their brunch. I went with one of my favorite foodies so we shared three items . We eased in with the crab cake eggrolls. No lie, I wanted to order another one just for myself. I'd go back for that alone. We were on some true big back behavior after being influenced by an IG video so we wanted something savory and something sweet. Both the shrimp po boy and chicken & waffle looked good! Indeed they were. The bread on the po boy was soft and fluffy not dry at all. Shrimp cooked to perfection and the perfect amount of remoulade to balance it all out. The waffle seemed simple but somehow after sighs we both had one more bite. Safe to say provare is a solid option for brunch or dinner. **only reason I'm not giving a 5star is because the parking has been a hassle both times. *The QR code or link doesn't want to open * cement was unbearable * it forced me to pay for 12 hr parking * the staff says oh sometimes it doesn't work but they do tow (as if there's another option) So now you're fighting to pay instead of enjoying your experience with friends/ family etc.

It would satiate a craving. The noodles were really tasty, good kick. Finally the Peking duck. Delicious. Thin pancake and some sauce and scallions with the fatty, flavorful duck. Loved it.

Both the pastor and Barbacoa tacos were oozing with oil/fat; some people may not like that but it made the meat super tender and juicy, whereas typically I find these types of tacos to be too dry at other places. Big fan of the chili pickled onions as well.

Ordered: - Load Nachos (with Barbacoa) - Queso was yummy. Barbacoa meat works very well on the nachos. - Taco Al Pastor - Taco Oriental - Gringa - Favorite taco out of the ones we had. I feel like the cheese and avocado made a difference compared to the regular one. - Taco Samuel (Beef) - Horchata - yummy. Small cup was huge and it was only $3.50. We don't eat tacos a ton in Houston a lot but very satisfied with our meal. Definitely would reorder the nachos, gringa, and horchata again next time we go. I'm also interested in trying their breakfast tacos next time.

Bar 5306, you got me (and my friends) good. Located on Washington Ave., close to many popular bars…read moreand clubs like Sugar Room, parking is not easy. There's metered parking on Washington Ave. A lot of the side streets don't allow parking Thursday through Sunday from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. unless you have a valid permit. I was trying to park around 11 p.m. on a Thursday evening, so that made things more difficult. I ultimately found free parking on a side street seven minutes away by foot, but it took a lot of effort. Ambiance (3.5/5): Bar 5306 is a Latin club on most nights it seems like. When I stopped by, there was a DJ there, but he was playing hip-hop instead. The music is loud, so this is the type of place where you go to dance. With it being a Thursday, there were only 15 people there or so. I imagine that's a different story on a Friday or Saturday night. There's a large dance floor, booths for VIP seating, table top seating, and a bar. If you want to get away from the music, there's also an outdoor patio. Which is where we hung out for the most part so we could talk. Service (1/5): This is where Bar 5306 sticks you. Upon entering, they have a list of 10 or so craft cocktails on the wall. Prices are not listed. I made the mistake of not asking for a menu and ordered from the wall. Rather than keeping my tab open, they close your tab upon each transaction (which is annoying if you order multiple rounds throughout the night). They also add 20% gratuity automatically. I understand that Washington Ave. is a popular party area, but how is this allowed in America?! Gratuity is based on service. It's a customer's right to decide how much to give based on the service they receive. An automatic 20% tip takes all of that out of the equation. To make matters worse, my buddy asked for a water for him and his girlfriend. They don't have water on tap and only offer bottled water at $5 a water for water from Costco. Talk about a nice profit margin for the business and sticking the customer yet again! My friends said they would never return. The policies are based on management, so I will say that the bartender who took care of me was efficient and took my order quickly. No complaints about her. There are also bottle girls here, though they were just hanging out when I arrived since nobody was there for bottle service. Food (N/A): I'm not sure if they have food since I didn't see a menu. Either way, I had dinner prior to stopping by. Drinks (3/5): My cocktail was solid for a club. It was $15 and then the 20% gratuity on top of that. It's just tough to enjoy your drink when you're dealing with these sorts of policies. When you arrive, they ask you for your ID and frisk you. Just overall, such a bad experience from a service experience that it makes it tough to enjoy any other part of the experience.

I could only think of 5305 reasons not to post this review, so here we are…read more My main takeaway from this place is 5237. Because then you're left with 69. But that goes both ways. Anyway. This is the brand new destination for Latin nightclub action on the main strip of Washington Avenue, where all the cool and sexy people go. Some of the most attractive people in the city come here, to this club, as well as Heart, and especially Bottled Blonde. This one is wildly popular, especially with a lot of the Hispanic crowd, and it's one of the loudest clubs. We like that it doesn't really have too many rules and seems a lot more enjoyable than a lot of the others. Astrid is our favorite bartender (for so many reasons), and we always go when she's there, but we also like several of the others. So many stunning and friendly employees at 5306, formerly Standard Bar. But the special shout out goes to Astrid, who's one of the most beautiful women in the world, and would have definitely won the bikini contest the other night (Barbi insisted that we go, she's the best gf ever) if she had entered it. So would Barbi, really. However all of the winners were great. Leonor, Karina and Monica came 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and they're all winners as far as we're concerned! Amazing bottle girls. This is Astrid, follow her and come and ask for her as your bottle service girl! https://www.instagram.com/theastridreverte/ Also a special shout out to the girl that does the signage out front, cuz she doesn't wonderful job with that, and it always has cool neon signs of various very appropriate messages such as Mexico or 5306 or whatever special day it is. Probably my joint fave club in Houston, and the often racist, always snobby hatred of this club just makes me love it more.

I mean my pocket book is probably better for it because I want to buy the whole store but honestly I've been missing out. The place is cute and welcoming from the corner sign on the building to the moment you step in- bright, inviting, great displays so you know where to go. You can't get lost in here with the signage, but you can't definitely get lost in the aisles with all the great, unique choices. The ready food display has so many Mediterranean treats, some I've had before some I've never heard of and everything I tried was amazing. We got the cabbage rolls and Armenian veggie dolmas. Great flavor, both specific items I haven't had before. Nice citrus, spiced flavor to these. I'd say they're have to try items. Not only found jarred tomato paste, which I've been on the hunt for but they had choices in this category and that's another first for me. Will have to go back and try the others. Also got the cured Serrano ham -amazing. And I thought the prices were going to be insane having a spot right in the middle of the city and nope- pleasantly surprised for my goodies, great prices even less than some of the other stores I frequent in the suburbs. I'll be back again and again and again until I try the whole store lol. Definitely give them a try, you won't regret it
