Me and my girlfriend came here for happy hour and it was definitely a hour of happiness and vibes

I absolutely LOVE Tikila's! It's always a great vibe. The music, the drinks, and the food is AMAZING!!!! Chelsea is theeee best at the bar! Check them out! read more

Honestly love this place and is becoming a regular spot. Service is always friendly, music is always great and the vibes are high. They offer happy hour M-F 4-7pm. The bar is pretty expansive, but what I love most is their food vendor Hot and Buttered. They sell wings, live crawfish, and other boiled seafood packages. The flavor is SO good and honestly becoming my go to for food and a good cocktail or bottled beer. They have an indoor/outdoor concept with ample seating and tv screens. read more

For me, Tikila's is better as a patio bar than for an evening out based on the vibe and what they offer. Here, they have a great outdoor space with fun tiki decorations, games to play (jenga, corn hole, etc) and fans for when it gets hot. I've gone in the evening with friends as they have a good location but it's just never been crowded despite them having a good dj and drinks! All in all, this is a casual place to venture out to for a casual afternoon! read more

My spot!! The vibes be vibing!!! Check out hot and buttered the food is magically delicious!! read more

Tikila’s - My spot!! The vibes be vibing ‍‍ - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

Amazing bar service in the patio with Chelsea, the drinks were amazing and the attention

Fun bar. South of 610 on N Shepherd. Used to come for drinks, now the crawfish. Hot 'N Buttered is legit.

So listen...I love a place that provides parking and plenty of it! Drove up and was immediately able to park literally a few steps from the entrance. Crawfish seems to be my go-to choice these days, so I'm always looking for a place that provides some deliciously seasoned crawfish. This place fits the bill! They partner with this business called "Hot & Buttered" that has some of the best crawfish and fixings in town. Just writing about it is making my mouth water. Sooo good! Don't just take my word for it though. Go see for yourself! Now it did take a lil minute to be ready, but in all fairness, they had a pretty decent amount of orders ahead of mine. Other than that, the drinks here are good, strong, and well priced. The vibe is chill and laid paid. Just don't sit next to a group of guys who've had too much to drink and get annoyed like I did. Check this place out! read more

Ordered a margarita, had high hopes but was very tart and tasted like real cheap tequila. Cost about 15$ had to force myself to drink it. Left after one drink the service was good and bartender was very nice. read more

I ended up here because my friend knew that I loved ranch waters. She insisted that this would be the best I've ever had. It was. Since then I have visited many times and I love it. They have plenty of outdoor seating and the weather is good. They have screens for you to watch sporting events. I've actually watched the Super Bowl here and some UFC fights. It's kid and pet friendly. I've never been for happy hour but I did snap a photo so that I would remember to try it one day. On the weekends this place is really good. Service was always good and fast. I've never had any food here. read more

I found this place on accident. I was planning to go to the seafood boil place next door but after seeing the tiki huts with swings and all the people having a good time inside tikilas I had to stop by. It was a Sunday night and the astros were playing so there were groups watching the game and the bar had drink specials. I got the ocean water frozen which was on special for the game for $6 or $7. It was so tasty but very sugary. Also got a shot of patron for $11. We sat at the bar and the Dj played a wide range of music we enjoyed and danced to. The bartenders were very friendly and attentive. They have water stations for humans and dogs so you don't have to wait for a bartender for that. Indoor and outdoor seating and can enjoy the food from the seafood place (hot and buttered) or the taco truck outside. I'll be back! PS: they have a small parking lot (free) that was almost full when I arrived. read more

Tikila’s - Ocean water frozen - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

The ambiance is nice and has good out door seating. The frozen cocktails are really good. I don't think that they have food but only have food trucks. The service is pretty good except when it gets really busy which is during the weekends I hate the parking there's not a lot of parking spaces. over all not bad but not my favorite place to hang out read more

This place has the greatest theme. Made me feel like I was in a far-off oasis even though it was cold! They lit the torches and fire pits, which made things more comfortable. Idk what happened that day it seemed as if the bar tender may have been overwhelmed that day. She did make some bangin tiki torches tho! There was no food but they have pop ups that sell different foods throughout the week... maybe an excuse to come back and try other things there while playing Jenga or cornhole! Just a quick tip they added gratuity to the tab automatically read more

It's a fun bar scene with the "Hawaii" theme. I game on a Sunday it was chill they have good music, I thought the food was available in the bar but it' seems like Evry day they have different food truck so depending on what day is the food available. read more

Hoping this reaches the owner. Your bar manager tonight looked at my buddies ID who recently turned 21 in July. And decided it was fake. We told her it was real which it was. However she would not look again and was very stuck up about her decision. I understand that if she misidentifies an ID and serves a minor that could lead to a whole bunch of problems for her. I do get that. But this was not situation. He was 21. Please have her do a course or something to where she won't lose y'all business again. We were going to order margaritas and shots etc... however we left and will not be returning. Along with notifying our friends and family that this establishment sucks. I do wish her the best in life but I do pray on her down fall tonight nov. 9th 2024. I hope she is miserable. I believe her name was Celeste. read more

I've been here plenty times over the years & can say it's truly ok. Cute, tropical decor. Indoor and outdoor seating. I really like the swings at the tables & large sitting area outback with the bed/lounge chairs. The DJ's are usually pretty good. Playing a nice mix, but some times the music is too loud. To where you can't hear anyone at all. And this coming from a chic who blasts music, so it takes a lot for something to be too loud. Nice selection of beer on tap & bottled. Mixed drinks are good too. Prices are about the same for what you get in the area. They've got a good rotation of food trucks that service the joint & most have been tasty. Anything from crawfish, tacos, to bbq has been on deck. And some I think are a bit overpriced, but hey comes with the location/territory. So you see this & like hey what's up with the 3 stars? Wellll IMO Tikila's is like a 3.5, but not truly 4. The reason I say this is because the service. Its just been very sporadic. I've gone plenty times solo, +1 or even a larger group & service has been all over the place. With a larger group where I would've expected poorer service our waitress was awesome. She checked up on us, fixed an issue with my friend's drink w/o attitude & bartenders were hilarious. On another day I was solo & basically got ignored. My most recent visit there were only 3 of us. We planned to stay a bit & others were coming to join us. Sat inside due to a large party outback. Our waitress was pretty rude. Took our initial order & after that she walked past us like we weren't even there. IDK if because we weren't slamming the drinks back & running up a $200 tab in the 1st 30 minutes or what, but she wasn't pleasant at all. We ended up ordering 1 more round at the bar ourselves & then left. I still enjoy this place but would visit more if the service was better. I still recommend it for a spot to just chill & enjoy a good drink. Just pack your patience. Yelp on my friends! read more

I see some 1 star reviews here and while that sucks, I can at least say my experience here was 5 stars! I believe Blake was our bartender. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to take too many pics, but I definitely enjoyed the vibe and drinks (on a late Sunday afternoon). Upon walking in, there are a few food trucks outside and the outdoor area was charming! There's tiki hut style seating and swings. You can order from the lil window outside. It was too warm so we went inside. I didn't think it was a sit-down establishment... So my friend and I just went straight to the bar and ordered drinks. Found ourselves a booth and sat. There were promo gals passing out refreshing infused vodka and everyone was friendly. If I needed another drink, I just went to the bar, no big deal. It's a bar/lounge, not full service restaurant. I see that there's a strict dress code policy and no Crocs allowed (per previous reviews). Not sure about the reasoning behind that, but I came very casual and had Vans on. A good chill place for cocktails especially once the weather gets cooler outside. read more

Tikila’s - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

Stopped here on a Saturday night randomly. Wanted to experience an outside tiki bar in Houston. I went in and that the decor was cute. They have out swings and Tiki seating outside. There was plenty of seating so that would not be a problem. When I went to the bar and my guest and I got a vibe that the girl didn't like her job. She seemed upset and didn't want to help. We decided we would wait for another bartender and of course we met a high energy bartender that I loved. He greeted, smiled, and inquired what our preferred spirit (alcohol) of choice. I told him make me up a drink and my guest ordered a margarita. They do sell food outside and I saw they have a good happy hour menu so I will be back. I enjoyed the music and like other bars in the city you don't have to pay for a big section and the drinks are very affordable. Like a lot of establishments in The Heights parking is limited so I would uber it you know there is an event. If it didn't rain we would have definitely stayed longer. I will definitely be back to try the happy hour and other weekly specials. read more

Bartender was rude. Kept rolling his eyes when ordering vodka drinks. It is a full bar. Shouldn't discriminate with which liquor. Beyond rude. read more

I was at Tikila's for Cinco de Mayo for my first time!! Celeste greeted me and got me on of those AMAZING frozen watermelon redbull margaritas!!! The dj was great and the crowd and atmosphere were fun, upbeat and I felt welcomed and at home. The other bartenders working were rocking it out and taking care of me as well after Celeste left. I came back the following Wednesday because I love it so much. I live an hour away but its soooooo worth the drive to go to Tikilas for the drinks, the awesome bartenders, and the ambience. 10 out of 10 recommend. Especially when Celeste is there she is top notch as far as bartenders and lawd knows I am served by alot of them. read more

This place was super fun! I felt like I was off on an island sipping on a drink. The environment and how spacious the area is for large groups of friends. The DJ was playing good songs. One thing is the drinks were inconsistent! read more

Super cool indoor/outdoor venue with great drinks & food! From smooth cocktails to frozen boozy treats, there's a good variety to sip & enjoy while you lounge in a cozy booth, stretch out on a bench, or kick your legs on the swing set. We came for the boil - crawfish , shrimp & crab are cooked well, flavored with a rich herb & butter sauce. Other casual menu options are available too, like tacos, hot dogs, egg rolls, and fries. The island vibes make you forget you're in the heart of Houston! Awesome, laid back spot to hang out. read more

Stumbled upon this stop in our search for crawfish. Found a GEM!!! Omg this place is epic! Food trucks, great chill vibe music. Chill vibes all around. Centralized bar area. Outdoor seating with swings. Outdoor covered seating area with astroturf, picnic tables, and lunge beds. Had the very best time!! The crawfish and shrimp are the die for, seasoning to perfection! The taco truck had the best loaded fries and elote. The Asian food truck looked great too. Can't wait to come bakc Oh and dog friendly!! And kid friendly earlier in the day read more

I came for the food truck. Not the bar. It's separate and in no way do they share profits. We pulled into the parking lot and were immediately put down by every employee outside, but mainly the main guy who was RUDE the entire time. He ran up to the truck as we tried to turn around to leave the parking lot and find parking because it was "reserved" for the owner. Doesn't sound like a customer focused business to me. The man I'm talking about looks like he's about to do meth after. Not great to have as the main man in a business. He needs to be FIRED for the way he treats people. It's AWEFUL. Threatening the other employees here as well. It's sick. HE HAS TO GO read more

I had been wanting to check this place out since it opened and finally found an excuse to get a group together here. We got there around 4:45 on a Friday (happy hour starting early) and were the only ones there - odd. Bartender was able to suggest a few drinks from the menu. More people started to show up around 5:30pm, but unfortunately it had rained recently so their nice patio was too wet to enjoy. Overall, the vibe here is interesting - tiki-inspired decor, but only a few tiki drinks on menu. Otherwise, normal bar things. They also do bottle service, apparently, striving for that Vegas poolside feel; a little out of place on 610 in the Heights. This is a good spot for groups, especially if the weather is behaving and you can enjoy the patio. Food trucks on site. Parking is street (good luck) or valet. read more

Absolutely love this place. They have some amazing bartenders. Jett is the best! They have different food trucks/vendors every night. I like the birria tacos on Monday and steak night on Thursdays. They have different drink specials every day. The frozen mojito, frozen cucumber margarita, and the up in smoke are must tries. The atmosphere is relaxed and super chill. They have tables with swings or a large back patio area. They are also dog friendly. I would definitely recommend this place. It's one of my absolute favorite places in Houston with the best drinks! read more

I would recommend going Wednesdays-Sundays to catch her and the amazing food! The environment is chill and the music is good! read more

Love Tikila's!! Bartenders are great, they just redid their outside tables and they look really good. Management has since changed and it seems to be the fix that was needed. They have food trucks and also their usual crawfish vendor (hot and buttered) and they're one of the best places for crawfish! Can't wait for this summers events that they have planned! Dog and kid friendly which is a huge thing I feel Houston lacks. Excited to spend some summer days here read more

Popped in for some Sunday funday beverages and have found my new bar ! Absolutely love this place and our bartender was Celeste and she made the best bloody Mary's I've ever had in my entire life! She was quick and attentive never had to wait long for a drink and it was pretty busy! They had some food popups which was kool , great atmosphere and the restrooms are kept clean ! Will definitely be a regular here now read more

I only go when Hot & Buttered is Hosting Crawfish and it is always deliciously Devine; perfect amount of seasoning and spices. I usually sit outside on their cute patio; i have only went in the summer so i ask them to put on the Water fans and it makes my experience so much cooler and smooth. The service is great and the waiters are so sweet and inviting. And baby when i tell you those drinks are awesomely taste and will give a good buzz.
