The DJ was also bumpin'! Song choices were fitting and he mixed the music seamlessly which made the vibes so much more fun. We loved the Prosciutto Flatbread, the toppings were generous and the crust was perfectly chewy but crispy. We also got the Papas Bravas, which was pretty standard. For drinks, we got the Situationship, Lychee Lemon Drop, Smooth Operator, and Blue Tile IPA. All the cocktails were very tasty and perfectly balanced. Food and drinks here are definitely on the pricier side for a typical Houston bar.

After enjoying a late night snack at Handos, we decided to mosey on over to Kampai Club. I had…read moreheard good things for years, and I remember driving past it a couple times and not seeing it or any signage. Even this time the GPS took us to an entrance that had us going the wrong way down a one-way, but we eventually figured it out I will say that the parking isn't all that great, but we were able to find a spot. If the parking lot is full you should be able to find street parking nearby Kanpai Club is a sister location to Handos. They share a kitchen and you can walk through an inside door access either. You can find the same cocktails and bites from Handos on the Kanpai menu, but there's also additional drinks and bites The bar feels like a Japanese Izakaya. It's a narrow space resembling a Japanese outdoor bar. It's intimately lit and well decorated. We did have to wait for two spots to open up, but that didn't take too long The bartenders were friendly, professional, and efficient. We went on a Friday night (fairly late), and they had two dedicated bartenders The cocktails were fun and were beautifully crafted. Most were served in novelty glassware. You can order classic cocktails, but both Kanpai and Hando offer a variety of signature cocktails. Most having some sort of Japanese or Asian fusion. They have beer, wine, and extensive sake list, as well as green tea and other nonalcoholic options The cocktails were tasty. The only one I was iffy on was their Espresso martini. It was poured from a machine and I guess there were having issues with it. The presentation was phenomenal. There was a roasted marshmallow garnish. The drink itself was far too Smokey in flavor than I like, or at least in terms of my espresso martinis The Yuzu Kosho fries were incredible. The flavors really hit the spot. The Okinawa Potato salad was both questionable to looks and and to eat lol. This purple mound of potato's had an interesting taste, look, and consistency. It wasn't bad, just... interesting and new Some tips: If you can't find this spot from the street, look for Handos. It's part of this restaurant Ask the bartender about the happy hour menu. And most nights they're open until 12am, but on Fridays and Saturdays they are open until 2am If you order food online (technically from Hando's) you can get 10% off using code: HANDO10. This is part of their "Hando and Chill" special Cheers!!

So I normally am not a fan of this place at night time. But that's just my personal opinion because…read moreit's very hard to park, the valet takes forever because it's such a small space and so many people it's kind of a nightmare to get in and out of. Also, it's so crowded that it's hard to get a drink and hard to sit anywhere even with the outside patio I felt crammed But with that said......... I absolutely loved it during the daytime!! I went there for a friend's birthday, and I was actually able to enjoy the ambience and really noticed that they have decorated it very nicely and Elegantly inside, I had a chance to actually eat there and the food was really really good. I've had some of their cocktails, which were all very, very well made and very tasty. I will go again, but in a daytime lol Much easier for parking as well

Great bar Met some…read morefriends here after dinner. They were packed and boomin when we arrived. Dj set up right behind us and got the night started right. Even though the place was completely full, the service was still quick and really good. They brought out more chairs to accommodate our growing party and we never had to wait long for drinks. After about an hour, we slid through the back door and into the speakeasy. This portion of the bar was equally impressive and had the same high end vibe. More great service, more great drinks. Some Louis XIII may have been poured- which came with white glove service and a complete history lesson btw lol Literally zero complaints. Just a great night out.

A special shout-out to Lilah and Kay, who provided outstanding service. They were attentive, friendly, and made sure we had a wonderful experience.

The pizza at Gypsy Poet on 11th Street is excellent. We had both the pepperoni and margherita…read morepizzas, and both were great. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and it's a fun, family-friendly atmosphere with lots of families and kids. The biggest issue was the way the restaurant was being operated. There was a line out the door that moved incredibly slowly, and we watched several people get in line and eventually leave because of the wait. What was strange was that there were often plenty of open tables inside, yet orders were still being taken and pizzas were being made at a very slow pace. It felt less like the employees weren't working hard and more like the whole operation was being intentionally paced or poorly managed. The staff seemed to be following whatever system they had been given, but that system clearly wasn't working. With a line out the door and open tables available, they should have been cranking out pizzas and moving people through much faster. Excellent pizza, friendly people, and a great atmosphere--but the management and operations could use some serious improvement.

We have zero photos because my brain was misfiring at how INCREDIBLE the food looked - PIPING HOT - melty, greasy (but not off-putting), cheesy, fries were crispy. Do not sleep on this place. I can't comment on the drinks - I don't really enjoy alcoholic beverages and they didn't have iced tea. The service was top notch - friendly and attentive but not overbearing. Ambiance is fun, colorful bar scene.
