Thumbs Up: POST has done an excellent job repurposing Houston's historic Downtown Post Office into a multipurpose destination. Thumbs Up: The rooftop lawn and garden are beautiful and provide a relaxing place to enjoy the city skyline. Thumbs Up: Portions of the rooftop are dedicated to gardens that grow fresh produce, adding a unique touch to the space. Neutral: I wasn't able to determine where the harvested produce ultimately goes. I'm sure the information is available somewhere, but I don't recall seeing it during my visits. Thumbs Up: I can actually see my home from the rooftop. Thumbs Up: I've watched a few rooftop concerts from my balcony. Thumbs Up: As an added bonus, it's always entertaining to hear some of my neighbors complain about the "noise pollution" during HOA meetings. Living Downtown comes with unique advantages and occasional inconveniences. If someone can't tolerate city life, they may be happier living in the suburb provinces. Thumbs Down: Access to the rooftop is sometimes restricted during seasonal events and special art installations. I understand the need for ticketed events, but I wish general access to the public spaces could remain available whenever practical. Thumbs Down: I am able-bodied, but I couldn't help noticing that rooftop access appears difficult for visitors who use wheelchairs or have mobility impairments. The elevators are not easy to locate, and several were out of service during my many visits. Improving accessibility would make this space more welcoming for everyone. read more

Skylawn is a multipurpose space consisting of a rooftop park and organic farm at Post Houston. The views of the skyline are amazing! I've visited a few times over the last few years. They host an array of events and activities (some are free, while others are ticketed). Events and activities include live music, DJs, yoga, Zumba, and seasonal events like Winter Wonderlawn during Christmas and Lunar New Year. There are seven gardens which take up about an acre. There's signs throughout the lawn that explain the different gardens and various spaces. Sky Farm is operated by Blackwood Educational Land Institute and they focus on regenerative agriculture and cultivation of food. The Outpost can be rented for events. Yelp Houston has hosted some events at the Outpost in the past. During the summer, it gets very hot! They have quite a few covered/shaded areas and there's vendors throughout if you need water or a beverage. There's lots of seating too (both covered and uncovered). A visit to Post Houston isn't complete without making the trek up to Skylawn! The views alone are worth it! read more

I love Sky Lawn. It's not a very large space but the view is fantastic. I love it when they have a dj or musicians playing music. Great place to visit to take photos or just take in the scenery. Be sure to grab some bites below because the food is top notch. They don't accept cash for parking or anything else so be prepared! read more

Fun to try different foods at the international food places. Unlimited soda fountain drinks. Walking the roof was nice as well. Had to pay for parking. It cost us ten bucks for two hours. read more

Skylawn Rooftop at POST HTX - View from roof - Lounges Near Me - Houston, Texas

Skylawn Rooftop before any concert at 713 has always been the gathering spot. Grab some drinks with the bartender and listen to a DJ all on the roof for ZERO cover. Unfortunately we didn't get the same vibe with the WinterWonderLawn Christmas Lights Experience. $15 Cover (weekend) Not a bartender On Top Not allowed to bring alcohol up (Served Christmas inspired bevs and hot cocoa- it was 86degrees ) No DJ playing music or any music playing in the background when we were there I will say this, the location always creates the most beautiful backdrops at sunset. Always a huge PLUS read more

I attended 2024 event it was fantastic. 1.)The event for 2026 Gatsby was horrible a lot less people there. 2. ) It was nothing there that tied into the Gatsby theme that was promoted. 3.)No live music. Only a DJ. 4.) The useless DJ played a bunch of reggae music that has nothing to do with Gatsby or New Year's and a bunch of crappy bebop music I've never heard and when I ask him if he could to mix it up with different music he wanted to argue. I let him know I'll never be back. 5.) There was no countdown leading up to the fireworks again I put that on the sorry DJ. 6.) Again the DJ never play played the customary new year song Auld Lang Syne are any music related to New Year's. 7.) The drinks selections served was very limited. 8.)It was not a celebratory atmosphere. Very disappointing two stars out of 10. The only reason it got two stars was the fireworks were very nice. read more

This might be the baddest rooftop in all of Houston. There are other rooftop spots of course, but few can come close to the location, accessibility, space, and ultimately, the view of Houston's skyline. It's become a perpetual destination for me whenever I'm taking people around or whenever I just want to kick back and enjoy the vistas of downtown Houston. This place is accessible through POST (#1), which over the last year has become a true destination for locals and tourists. Unlike POST Market, the concert hall, and even the parking lot (#2), the Skylawn is completely free. Whether one is celebrating a special occasion under The Outpost or eating a food court meal at the dedicated table area, or rocking a cityscape photo shoot or just looking to get some air, the Skylawn is where it's at. It's an ideal for a date, a solo wanderer, family fun, and seasonal activities. There is never a dull moment here because there's always something going on. During big events, such as New Year's or any citywide celebration, the rooftop can get crowded. But for day to day fun, especially compared to the rest of the venue, the Skylawn is really the cherry on top.

Great place to grab food from downstairs food court and "pop a squat" ( Pretty Woman reference). Great views at night of downtown Htown. 1ST learned of this area from the Yelp Elite January kick off party .Thank you CMs Jando and Farrah for that. Have since been back many times for Coffee and Cars events and to eat downstairs. read more

A great mixed use venue and a very pretty rooftop deck. Would recommend during the sunset hours.

Interesting space to hang out on the roof top with cool music. Comfortable breeze if you are visiting at end of October to winter time. The only downside is that after an hour the parking goes up to $5 per hour. Food court descent. read more

Different, in a good/fun way. See downtown Houston from a park-like setting, on the roof if the renovated/repackaged Post Office. Buy or bring a lunch for an urban picnic or just stroll around or relax on the artificial grass or a bench. read more

the tickets were $36 a person and $35 to park the food is good but expensive. there was free balloon art, facepainting and water. the two bands were very good I was there for the fireworks and it was a disaster. Skylawn advertised that was a great place to watch fireworks. BUT they were almost completely blocked by another building. it was extremely disappointing. There were other issues. At one point the fire alarm went off and an announcement to evacuate the budding. But the music in the food area was so loud no one could hear the announcement. 15 mins into the alarm, I left the food area to see if I could hear the alarm better. I ran into ONE security person who was preventing anyone else to come into the building Until the fireman gave the all clear. Thankfully it was a minor fire issue. The fire alarm was extremely inefficient. security NEVER came to the food court to evacuate people. read more

Skylawn Rooftop at POST HTX - This is the view of the fireworks. - Lounges Near Me - Houston, Texas

The sky lawn rooftop at POST is a vibe on its own. This is the perfect destination for a cheapskate date, to find peace of mind after a hard day at work or as an event space. I would most definitely get married here. The sky lawn overlooks a beautiful view of the Houston city skyline. You can see all the buildings glitter at night in the city and the heavy traffic during the day. There are lawn games children can play, seating to relax and enjoy and easy access to POST's food hall for a bite to eat on the lower level. Definitely make a trip here while visiting Houston. It was one of my favorite parts of my trip. read more

Skylawn Rooftop at POST HTX - The gorgeous view from the POST sky lawn - Lounges Near Me - Houston, Texas

I have three visits to POST Houston under my belt since its late 2021 opening. Two of those visits involved climbing the famous spiral staircase that's prominently located in the center of POST Market to check out the Skylawn. But while the whole venue and its bustling food hall/court have earned Yelp TLC from me, the rooftop was deprived ... until now. Houston has one of the most beautiful, photogenic skylines in the world, and the Skylawn is an ideal place to look at it in all its towering glory. It's best to swing by when the skies are clear and the weather is cooperative day or night. I was fortunate enough to get a picture taken of me with much of Downtown photobombing me during my first visit. *Laughs* I couldn't help but feel I was on top of the world. If you have friends or family who visit, take them here. You're bound to have a blast at this up-and-coming Space City landmark. read more

Beautiful outdoor space. Lots of room to spread out and to look at the beautiful skyline. They have restrooms upstairs as well. Took the stairs all the way up (maybe take the elevator it needed). Lots of different seating opportunities. read more

Beautiful! Great day to go. Weather was perfect and clear. What a cool place! I cant wait to see it decorated for Christmas.

Terrific views of the downtown Houston skyline. It is particularly nice to go near dusk and enjoy the sunset and then the lights of the city. There's a nice event venue and,stage, with some provisioning for adverse weather. Still.pretty warm up there in the searing heat of July, but one can always escape downstairs to the food Hall. read more

Skylawn Rooftop at POST HTX - Live music at the Skylawn stsge - Lounges Near Me - Houston, Texas

Skylawn is a nice rooftop park offering great views of the Houston Skyline with a food hall and mixed use space below. I stopped by with a friend during a recent trip to Houston (June 2023) as we were looking for a nice place to take in Space City's views. Most of the rooftop's square footage is actually unusable as its covered with gardens/green space which looks nice but makes the walkable areas seem crowded even when there aren't a lot of people there. Despite this, its a great spot for a photo op and seems to be popular amongst photographers for shoots. I thought the food hall downstairs (POST) was pretty scammy with very high prices for average food. They charge for the small and crowded parking lot and only allow for a free 20 minute grace period on weekends. read more

Skylawn Rooftop at POST HTX - Lounges Near Me - Houston, Texas

Overall, an expensive place to hang out. Trendy and fun. The rooftop has a great view of the Houston skyline (hence the name), and has some fun games up there... connect-four & corn hole. Parking is a plenty, free for up to 75 mins & $5/per hour afterwards. No alcohol up top, but able to bring ice cream (I know because we did). Seating for the most part would be on the 'lawn' area. Plenty of food & drink options, cafeteria style, before heading up. read more

I wish we could all bankrupt this place. Organizer should be put in prison for fraud. Went here for Fourth of July 2025. Stood in the heat for two hours, it was packed. when the fireworks went off, They were behind a building, not only were they not in view of the skyline, no one could see them. Thousands of us got lied too. The first firework went off and everyone just turned around and left. Terrible. read more

The food hall and sky views are nice. This is not a bar or hangout vibe. We came here after our first day party and this one is flat.

Parking can be hectic, but once you're in this place is amazing! Food, open air roof area! Great place to hang out.

I just loved this place being my first time here. There is plenty to do and plenty to eat. Great variety for every taste. Service was great and ambience is casual. A little bit on the pricey side. A regular tea was over $5. We tried the waffle fries and sweet potato waffle fries and both were delicious. Came for the Fab 5 concert and we really enjoyed it very much. The guys in the band had great attitudes and didn't mind taking pictures with the people requesting them. Would definitely recommend especially now during the holidays. Staff was friendly as well as security. Enjoy the beautiful lights and Houston skyline from the rooftop. read more

Such a fun rooftop park with the best city views!

For months I have been coming to this spot for sunsets. I have seen a few concerts here in 713. I have come for lunch with friends. The food court in The Post is amazing with artisan style restaurants. On Tuesdays you can get 20% off your food order with Apple Pay. If you carry your own water bottle on the regular, there are water bottle fill stations next to the restrooms by the food court. The rooftop is the real highlight at The Post. You have the Skyfarm which is an ample garden on the rooftop. And then the Skylawn is a fabulous place to come share a picnic, play games with friends, take photo ops, listen to music, have fabulous conversation, or just dillydally for a spell. Go early to see the NASA exhibit. And I love going on nights when there's live entertainment in the amphitheater. Check out the website for all upcoming events, including rooftop yoga. It's absolutely worth a drive from the burbs. you have to pay for parking on the website online which is a little confusing, and the only thing that is inconvenient about this venue. Paying for parking is not clearly listed on the website and you have to dig for it to find it. And until you pay, you are stuck in the parking lot. Otherwise, if you're into a scenic view, greenery, neon lights, entertainment, and relaxation, this place is for you. It's great for every age. I highly recommend! read more

Came here with a friend and it was so cute! It really does have the perfect view of Houston and lots of great greenery so it would be great for pictures for sure! I also love that they have various 'life-size' games available like connect 4, jenga, and a bean bag toss. Other than the Skylawn. Post is super cool because it is full of interactive art exhibits that rotate year round AND even better, it's full of amazing food and drink options. There is literally something for EVERYONE to enjoy at Post HTX. Here's an Instagram reel that better summarizes everything to do here! https://www.instagram.com/reel/CbN4xIcruHt/?utm_medium=copy_link read more

The best time to go is at night. The city lights are romantic and beautiful. The skylawn is spacious and has alot of seating areas to eat, socialize or just hang out. Great couple date, friends outing and family friendly as well read more

Incredibly educational with amazing views include some of the murals. The Christmas display was also breathtaking!!!

Cool spot. Not sure if it was the day of the week or the time if the year, but it was not that impressive either the greenery nor the surrounding space. I guess I just expected more. The market leading up to it was very cool and we wanted to see the other side of it on our way out, but when we went to exit the rooftop, following a green sign that said exit, we found ourselves locked in the stair well. The door on the guest floor said it was an emergency exit four and that an alarm would sound. Since all of the other doors on the floor were locked, including the one we exited from, we had no choice. We opened it and no alarmed sounded. It took us to the back of the building and we didn't want to walk all the way around and up the stairs since we were out if energy from the heat of the stairwell and having to walk up and down those stairs to find a way out, to see the other side of the market, so we just left. read more

Great scenery, beautiful view of the Houston skyline at night. Rooftop bar and games.

When the weary permits, this spot is beyond gorgeous. Being downtown you're able to view the beautiful skyline and scenery! It's a great place to sunbathe, meditate, read a book or have a picnic. Also great for a beautiful wedding or outdoor event. There were plenty of people taking great photos, laying around and relaxing or enjoying their meal from the food hall below. This will definitely be a hotspot during the spring/summer sunsets. read more

I went there this afternoon with my wife. The parking lot said "free parking before 4pm" and it was 3pm, so we parked on their lot. We had a great time, but in leaving, we're told this was "special event parking" and would cost $21 to leave. This is an interesting place to visit, but I would not park there as stealing from the public is part of their business plan. read more

4th of July weekend it was a headache. Their ig says you need a ticket to attend the event and no one was checking for the tickets it was over capacity on the roof, people sitting on the walk way. Was told can't bring a lawn chair and I saw everyone else with a lawn chair. One long bar called (unknown address) had one bartender and she had an attitude with all the customers, she should had closed the bar if she was being overworked. Post HTX is a cool place to go but only when it isn't a holiday. read more

Renovated building used now for small concerts and food court. The place is quite unique, very modern looking and preserves some of the original building's features. When I was there they had a photo gallery reviewing the history of the place which used to be a main/central postal office. The food court is all pretty much fast food but asian, mediterranean, southamerican, and many other origin/fusion food types. It is really good for breaking up the routine and going out for an eat or just have some drinks at any of the multiple bars they have there. All food and drinks are at the food court downstairs and you can take them with you upstairs to the rooftop, which has tables and benches to sit, surrounded by greenery, a (under construction) lawn, a fountain, and great unblocked views of Downtown Houston. I did not go there at night, but it is probably very pretty due to the lights they have set all around. Parking is free Mon-Thurs for 175 minutes, then it's $5/hour, during Fri and weekends it is just free for the first 30 minutes. No shopping, nor other "canned services" it is just a great place to hang out without caring much about anything else. read more
