    Sapphic Hour owes me absolutely nothing. My first event sponsored by Lesbian Land was the perfect way to close out 2025. I usually roll solo and can be a little socially awkward in new spaces, so when I first arrived, I definitely felt nervous and hung back by myself. But as the venue filled up, that feeling faded quickly. The energy shifted--and whew, it was palpable. Beautiful women everywhere, great vibes, and a DJ who understood the assignment. While there was music to dance to, most folks were deep in conversation, networking, and actually connecting, which I loved. The two hostesses were stunning, warm, and very present--working the crowd in a way that made the event feel intentional and welcoming. It was a rooftop situation, and I chose the three flights of stairs over the elevator (growth and cardio). Bonus points for the cute artwork lining the way up. Now, the bartender? Strictly business. Not rude, but not warm either. I'm used to bartenders at lesbian events being a little more social, a little more smiley--this one poured drinks and kept it moving. Neutral, but noticeable. What did hit? The lite bites. Elote and shrimp cocktail were a thoughtful touch and much appreciated. By the end of the night, I felt confident, comfortable, and very much in my element. So much so that I pulled out my microphone and did a few impromptu interviews--because why not? Overall, an amazing experience and a reminder that sometimes you just have to stay long enough for the magic to catch up with you. Would absolutely attend again.

    Me and my wife went to Sunset Rooftop Lounge. The drinks tasted really good. They have Christmas themed drinks and the bartenders were nice and fast great customer service.

    I first checked out Sunset during the beginning of the pandemi. Not a bad place to be with it mainly being a rooftop bar with great views of EaDo and the downtown skyline. Now, don't let my 3-star rating fool ya. I AM a fan of Sunset, but I do think they could improve in some areas. First, the inside often smells like a wet rag... or some sewage/plumbing issues. I'm sure that can be remedied with better airflow or a hotel-grade diffuser. Second, the cocktails aren't consistent. On my recent visit, the bartender made my aperol spritz in a rocks glass, to which I requested she transfer it into a wine glass (otherwise there wouldn't be much room for the prosecco and soda water). Other than that, everyone goes for the sunset views paired with whatever vibe the DJ is bringing.

    After watching the rooftop from Truck Yard next door, decided to go check out Sunset on a Saturday night. I have no idea what's on the first floor during the daytime, but all the action is on the top floor of the building and in particular the rooftop. They have a small lounge area inside too but not why people go there. Drink prices seem kind of high for that side of town - even a simple well drink was over $10 and most of the other drinks are what you'd find at a fancy craft cocktail bars so for an old building next to breweries and casual sports bars, it seemed out of place but I guess that's the price you pay for the rooftop dance floor and DJ. I like the vibe and the energy of the music but for my taste at least, it seemed a little too heavy on the Latin music with some hiphop mixed in. I know, I'm not the target demographic but the East End isn't monolithic group so from my point of view, mixing it up a little more would have been nice. The crowd is mostly good too but there was an incident with a guy breaking some stuff and getting kicked out and there was another guy who was pretty aggressive towards someone in our group who was initially kicked out but then let back in but the staff member explained to them and they seemed ok with it so I guess it's good that the staff actually explains things and doesn't just have a knee-jerk reaction? Would visit here again when the weather is cooler.

    Great spot with even better views! Brought some out of town friends during the holidays for a drink. It was the perfect spot to grab a drink, enjoy the houston skyline, listen to great music by the dj, do a little dancing, and people watch. Def stop by if you're in the area and looking for a fun place with a great view!

    Here's your view now. It use to be so cute!

    My heart is broken. Charged me 20% gratuity without asking said that's what they do. Only noticed when I signed my card receipt. Drink wasn't impressive either. They covered the outside patio totally taking away from the roof top experience/view Like my heart hurts. I really liked this place.

    Last stop, this bar is very cute. There's an elevator to the top. The drinks were delicious, strong. And the service was quick, the bartender was amazing. I didn't catch her name tho.

    This was my second time coming to Sunset lounge and both times were because a friend was having something there. It doesn't look like much on the outside and you have to take an elevator upstairs to get to the lounge. The lounge itself is small...both inside and out and it will get crowded fast. The bartenders are busy but fast. The drinks are good but there is no food. The views are great but good luck finding parking...it is right near all the other bars and the stadium. So don't be like us and go when there is an Astros game lol. Would I go back? Sure...only if a friend was having something there. Rating? Above average...3 1/2 stars...nothing really stood out but it is a fun place.

    Went to Sunset last Wednesday evening and it was...interesting. My friends and I walked in and it looked like a warlock/witchcraft convention was going on. Alas, I am not easily deterred. One of my pals was ready to turn it on around and get out of there but I just had to check out the rooftop terrace I had seen from below while we were walking along the street towards the place. Plus I figured, we're here let's just check it all out. Besides as a Yelp Elite, I've pretty much always got The review I'm gonna leave in the back of my mind. Gotta make sure I've got enough to comment on. Anyway, the terrace had great views of the city and the weather was nice so it felt great. The crowd however was very, again...interesting. There was a gentleman there wearing a full face mask, eyes covered and all, who was smoking a pipe filled with god knows what through his mask. In another area there was someone twirling batons/ribbons. Oh and just b4 you step outside there was a vendor selling "party favors" to patrons. Don't get me wrong, the people watching in this place was top tier. Oh and in another area on the terrace there was someone selling crystals and gems and things. Well, turns out every 3rd Wednesday of the month is Rave night. That explained a lot. The bouncers at the door advised us as we were leaving that Fri and Sat are "normal" nights. I would possibly try this place out on one of those nights if I'm in the area in the future but admittedly the online reviews of this place don't have me too excited to run back. It was hard to decide between 2 and 3 stars.

If you're in Houston and looking for a cute girls night out, unique date night, or a speakeasy experience, add this to your bucket list immediately. It's intimate, indulgent, and just different enough to make your night feel special. Now there are levels to this elevated experience. Here's the simplest breakdown according to their mixologist Tim: 1. Opening Hour: 2 infused chocolates, 1 chocolate medallion, a mixed drink, and a welcome spritz 2. Guided Tasting: 3 courses of drinks and chocolates 3. The Journey: 5 courses of drinks, chocolates, and other bites. Come hungry! You're encouraged to book a reservation through their website. But since we went on Wednesday for the ladies night, we were able to just go right in. I'm doing chemo so I can't drink or have the alcohol infused chocolate but I still had a great time. Sober folks can also enjoy this place. I got a cherry mocktail and it was the best mocktail I ever drank. They had two chocolate bon bons that weren't infused with alcohol and then all of the flat medallions are also not infused. They were sweet enough to send me home with some alcohol infused chocolates to have once I finish my chemo. We got there around 7 and didn't leave until the place was closing down.

It also helps support local restaurants during slower seasons while raising money for local charities, which is something I always enjoy supporting. Unfortunately, our first Restaurant Weeks experience at Private Client was underwhelming. We ordered from both the Restaurant Weeks menu and the happy hour menu. For our first course appetizers we had the Bang Bang Shrimp and the Ceviche Acapulco. The Bang Bang Shrimp were very hot, fresh, crispy and delicious. It wasn't mayonnaise forward like I would've liked but the portion size was more generous than expected. The Ceviche Acapulco missed the mark. The bowl was filled with juice, which took away from the dish. For our main course, we ordered the 14 oz ribeye with mashed potatoes and broccolini that we asked to be cooked medium well. Unfortunately, it came out fully cooked, hard to cut, and under seasoned. We also ordered the lamb chops with couscous and broccolini, also cooked medium well. Those were the best out of the main courses we ordered. They were tender, flavorful, perfectly cooked, and well seasoned. The sides were just average. For dessert we tried the molten chocolate lava cake that was heavily drowned in raspberry sauce. And a scope of vanilla bean ice cream both were decent, but nothing to rave about. From the happy hour menu we ordered the Golden Hour and As You Wish cocktails, along with a Brut and a Rosé. We really enjoyed the As You Wish cocktail and the Rosé. We also ordered the sliders, which were easily one of the BEST things we ate, second to the lamb chops. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The interior is warm, modern chic with rustic touches, and the space feels open and inviting. The service was good, but not good enough to justify what happened at the end of the meal. Every menu clearly states that a 20% gratuity is automatically added only for parties of six or more. Our party consisted of just two people, yet a 20% gratuity was still added to our bill without being mentioned. We NEVER mind tipping for good service, and we had already left a generous tip more than what was promoted as a suggestion before realizing the gratuity had already been included. Being charged an automatic gratuity that contradicts the restaurant's own stated policy on every menu and without informing guests is unacceptable. If you decide to dine here, be sure to carefully review your bill before paying, no matter how quickly the card reader is handed to you.
