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

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. (#3) ___________ (#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/post-houston-houston (#2) At least after 75 minutes ... (#3) Mind the pun.

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.

This is the view of the fireworks.

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.

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.

The gorgeous view from the POST sky lawn

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.

Goodness I.

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.

Live music at the Skylawn stsge

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.

Food court

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.

Great views with plants and seating. Place to sit and eat and several covered areas. Could use a drink venue upstairs as it is such a nice place to sit and take in the skyline.

The drinks were solid, and the overall atmosphere was definitely a vibe. We went on a Saturday evening, so it was pretty crowded, but once we found our spot in the Gold Room, we stayed there most of the night. Great music, great energy, and a unique concept. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something different for a night out. Not sure how it took me this long to stumble in here. Parking is what it is downtown so, there's that.

The lighting is dark, intimate, and behind every level and door, there is something else going on. There is an element of discovery in every corner and a new adventure on every floor. Ever watch the movie Tron? There are some areas of BCD that feel incredibly futuristic with neon-lit interiors and a legitimate sci-fi feel in some areas. The areas are ass follows: The main bar with a DJ and a spacious dance floor, the red room with a visualizer setup of big bass and pulsating lights, the gold room with a speakeasy feel and a curated cocktail menu, with the secret room that is a unique space behind a certain set of doors. Most of the music on the main bar is good, the DJs are energetic, and the bartenders are efficient while professional. It's not the easiest place to photograph anything, but the different (hidden) spaces make it a worthy destination for discovery. The one area that I don't love is that they rock automatic gratuity. I do love how diverse the crowd is on the weekends, which is a testament to the city. Drinks are solid, but the speakeasy drinks are the ones that stand out the most. The latter definitely comes at a price, but beware that some drinks may have all the presence but not enough of the substance. __________ My photos: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/behind-closed-doors-houston?userid=ysCBsXWPB-LAiewVS3jZfQ

The dining room is chic and feels very upscale but comfortable with a large open fire kitchen that was really fun to watch while dining. They were very on top of service with both our dining captain and waiter checking on us throughout the evening. For appetizers we ordered the deviled crabs, tuna tostada and wood roasted carrots. All were great but I especially loved the carrots which were cooked and seasoned perfectly. For my main course I had the chicken and dumplings, husband got the NY strip, our friends shared the whole fish and we had the cabbage and crab rice as sides. Everyone was very happy with both their main courses and the side dishes. We were too stuffed to order dessert but they sent out a s'mores inspired sunday for my birthday which was both thoughtful and sublime. Overall we were very impressed with our meal.

We were greeted by three different people - one that took our drink order, one that cleared our plates, and one that took our order. All were very nice people and gave excellent service! I forgot their names unfortunately. My receipt said Zachary but not sure which waiter that was. Between me and hubs, we had a Pan de campo, an order of Gulf Oysters "casino", (4) dressed oysters, a 16 oz dry aged ribeye, a snapper entree and a side of crab fried rice. We finished almost everything except a quarter of the Pan, about a quarter of the rice, and about a third of the ribeye. All were great dishes and would definitely order again. We skipped dessert because honestly none stood out to us. He said their popular dessert is the souffle but they were sold out. Our total before gratuity was about $250 and that included one cocktail. Hubs had their "classic" old fashioned which he said was excellent! Overall, highly recommended if you don't mind the splurge or for a special occasion!
