    This is essentially the hotel lobby bar, They have a great happy hour, because it's late, service is kind of slow. If you are staying at the hotel, you will probably be given a complimentary drink card - this card is good for their select cocktails :) The snacks were good. The soup was really thick. The vibe and ambiance is relaxed

    Cholula cauliflower with homemade ranch
    Julia O.

    I had the turkey club which was fine, the fries were nice and crispy. I also tried the Cholula cauliflower which was a touch to spicy for me but I'm a wimp. I have to give a giant shout out to the waitstaff. It looked like there were only 3 people working and one of them was a manager. They did an excellent job!

    Grilled chicken caesar salad
    Allan J.

    First night in Houston, staying at the JW Marriott and decided instead of battling the heat, I would grab something light from downstairs at Stray Horse. Upon entering the place was empty (PERFECT for me) was greeted very warmly at the front. Placed my order for a Coors light (came out ice cold!!! ) and the grilled chicken caesar salad. A man named Haren (sp?) came up introduced himself and brought me a little stand for my phone. (I have eaten MANY places and never had this!) The salad came out and was probably the best caesar salad I have ever had. This place is a gem! The ambience, service and food are top notch, and for reasonable prices! EXCELLENT dining experience They earned this 5 star review!

    Stopped in a drink at Stray Horse. This is a bar (and restaurant) inside the JW Marriott. Ordered the Manhattan called Annexation 1845. Was a solid drink. Bartender was a bit space cadet but pleasant.

    Now THIS is a speakeasy. I had no idea that I was going to get this experience when coming to…read moreHouston, but I couldn't be happier. The origami ceiling, lively bar, friendly staff, unique cocktails, fun bathroom, and photo booth in the corner made for an unforgettable experience. My friend said it was the busiest he had ever seen the place, and it was loud. But we got some awesome drinks that I swore I could've taken pics of -- the lighting was a little crazy, so I think I ultimately changed my mind with that. One was the periscope which was a refreshing and summery gin drink... And I think I tried the naked and famous too because I like mezcal. I had already eaten so I skipped the restaurant the speakeasy's connected to, but I cannot wait to return to Houston outside of a Con so I can really go all out on exploring. It was an amazing way to end my first night!

I ordered the Side to the Sun Rises (gin, yuzu, mint, cucumber) which was light, refreshing, and well balanced. I would recommend it if you enjoy gin-based cocktails with a slightly fruity flavor. My friends really enjoyed their drinks as well. They have all day happy hour on Sundays/Mondays. We did not get a chance to try the food, but the menu looked great. Overall, a fun spot with great vibes and definitely worth checking out!

    I've ordered from Paparruchos once before and recently decided to give it another try after a…read moreserious hankering for Mexican food. I didn't have a car and this place is conveniently across the street, so it became the default option. I remembered my first experience wasn't great, but I couldn't recall exactly why--this second visit quickly reminded me. When I ordered over the phone, I was a little taken aback to learn they don't use traditional Mexican white cheeses like Oaxaca or queso fresco--only mozzarella. That honestly stumped me, and the woman on the phone could probably tell by my pause. The tacos themselves were good, but very small. They also came with only one corn tortilla instead of the usual double tortilla you'd expect from street tacos. On top of that, the order was five tacos instead of the more common six for around the same price point ($14.99), which seems to be a growing trend but still feels disappointing. There were no complimentary chips and salsa, so I had to order those separately. The upside is that the salsa selection was actually pretty good. I also ordered fries, not realizing they were $7. While the portion was decent, they definitely didn't feel like a $7 side--more in the $4-$5 range. Overall, the tacos did satisfy my craving, but not enough to make this a go-to spot. Paparucho will likely remain a last-resort option for me when I'm craving Mexican food and don't have many other choices nearby.

    Came here twice while in town. I was staying across the street and this was the closest spot. I was…read morehere for 5 days and ended up going here twice. My server Yonn? was so pleasant and even recommended some things for me to try. Now everyone knows i am a soup head. They had the best chicken soup which comes with rice, carrots and potatoes. I also tried the buffalo wings which had a lovely kick to them. When i came back the 2nd time i ordered the same thing. Lol and i also got a mango margarita the first visit and a strawberry the second time. I would definitely recommend and make sure to ask for Yolien P! He was the best!

I stopped in on a Friday evening for a night cap. The bar is a pretty decent size and they have their own parking lot. They have a large patio out front and there was plenty of seating indoors as well. It's a sports bar so there were a lot of TVs throughout. They also have arcade games including Skee Ball and Pop-A-Shot. The menu had beer, wine, and cider, but they do have a full bar. I didn't see any specialty cocktails on the menu so I just asked the bartender, Marc to make me a gin based cocktail. Marc came up with his version of a Corpse Reviver. It had a tart, yet fruity twist to it. I can't recall all of the ingredients he used, but I liked it. I also had a Gimlet which was really good. Marc informed me about The Railyard shot special. Any time a train rolls by, you can purchase a vodka based shot for $2. I'm not much of a shot person, but I went ahead and ordered a White Tea shot. It was really good. Everyone in the bar was friendly and I appreciated the diversity of the clientele. Super chill place, just as a dive should be.
