Margarita

Had previously gone once and loved the ambience. Unfortunately this second time around, my husband and I decided to get shots. We were charged $45 a shot. Definitely one of the most expensive shots I have ever purchased! & it was regular Don Julio, we had asked for the 70, which they stated they didn't have after we paid.

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.

Soft life, sweet treats, and a little mystery is exactly how a girls' night should feel. The…read moreultimate girls night out in Houston is a Case Chocolates. Every Wednesday, they host a midweek indulgence for the ladies: complimentary champagne, signature chocolate, and curated sounds inside this one-of-a-kind chocolate speakeasy. Come for the immersive chocolate experience. Stay for the seductive, late-night vibes. 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. The DJ was amazing and she made the atmosphere feel more like a Saturday night.

It's a speakeasy located behind a chocolate shop that serves drinks and chocolates! It's a very intimate room, dimly lit, with r&b playing all night long. We went on a Friday night (around 11PM) and there was about 10 people there (including our party of 4). All the servers are extremely knowledgable and super kind. You can even see the owner there working and contributing to the vibes. Their cocktails are about $16 so very standard pricing and the chocolates come with a drink. The drinks were tasty, even the Old Fashioned (probably the best one I've ever had). Plus they close even later than described with "no official close time". As our server described, "they close when the vibes die off ... typically around 1AM". So I'll definitely be back and you should definitely check them out. It's also close by to Houston high society, neighbors, and eighth row flint which are all amazing bars with perks of their own so it would be great for even a bar hopping date night.

Although I had a few drinks, my partner and I chose to eat beforehand because we were unsure if food trucks would be available due to the holiday. The team at the bar was very friendly, providing great drink recommendations, and other staff members consistently came around to collect empty glasses, keeping the area tidy. We reserved a cabana, which was a great decision, especially when the rain came later in the day, as it kept us covered. There was plenty of seating available around the pool and in grassy shaded areas away from the pool. Bathrooms and showers were also accessible if you wanted to change clothes. One suggestion I would make is to have a more diverse music playlist. While the venue advertised that pop music would be played, it didn't always match the preferences of everyone there, especially given the diverse group of guests in attendance. Also, make sure to bring your ID; otherwise, you won't be allowed in. I had to make a trip back home to retrieve mine, even with a valid photo ID. If anyone managed to get in without an ID, please comment below and let me know! Overall, I would recommend this club.

They also have cabanas to rent, but the chairs and hammocks are free of charge and first come first serve.

We had a nice time at Aperitivo…read more One of the best looking restaurants in Houston. From the decor, the bar, views...everything is a vibe. Came in for my birthday after dinner. Service was great and the manager helped us get a better table even though they were completely booked. We had a random assortment of food. Oysters 4/5 Shrimp cocktail 3/5 Charcuterie board 5/5 I had really solid old fashioned and my wife had mezcal margarita which was also great. We then switched to wine for the rest of the night. It was raining when we first got there so the patio was closed. However, when we were almost done one of the waiters told us which door was unlocked and said make sure to go get some picture and enjoy the view. The view is one of the best around and we had it all to ourselves. Overall, a really nice way to end my Birthday and I would definitely recommend checking them out.

Aperitivo has been on my last for awhile now with the gorgeous interior and downtown skyline views…read more A group of my friends and I finally got the chance to visit, unplanned, on a Sunday evening while celebrating a birthday. The restaurant and bar is located on the top floor of the new East River complex. They have valet parking as well as free lot parking a couple of blocks away. Since the visit was a last minute decision, we did not have a reservation. The hostess informed us that they would be able to seat us but that drinks may be up to a 30 minute wait since they only had one bartender. We agreed and were seated at a large table inside. While skyline views always make a place special, Aperitivo raises the bar even further with lux design and interior accents that make it feel super elevated. In terms of drinks, they have a number of original cocktails that you won't be able to find anywhere else. My friend got the "caprese" which is prepared with tomato water and a mozzarella brine, which was translucent and had a hearty but balanced finish. An interesting drink for sure. I got the "Aperitivo spritz" which was very light and refreshing. Cocktails are all $18 and there is also an automatic 20% gratuity added to all checks. The drinks and ambience were great but unfortunately the service did not impress us. After being seated, we had some time to review the menu before our waitress approached the table. When she arrived, we did ask whether there would be a 30 minute wait for drinks after the host provided this warning due to the single bartender. She took the question defensively saying that she had a bunch of tables and got to our table when she could. I realize that the question could have been interpreted in the wrong way but will say that her response was not very customer service oriented. This was a little bit of a let down given that you are locked into a 20% gratuity.

He attempted several times to get the bartender's attention but continued to be overlooked. Eventually, we gave up and ordered an Uber. We then stood at the bar for another 10 minutes waiting for our ride and still were not acknowledged. right up until the moment we walked out. We understand bars get busy, but being entirely ignored for that long is unacceptable. A simple acknowledgment would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.
