    2 headed dog
    Farrah A.

    What took me so long to check out Two Headed Dog? I passed by it many o'times riding the bike... glad we finally checked it out for a friends bday. It's a solid dive bar with quality craft cocktails AND great service. Great tunes (a DJ showed up on Friday night), a patio, some late night snacks for the munchies... the crowd and vibes kinda reminded me of old Montrose... maybe Poison Girl circa 2008. The restrooms needed some serious tending too. Not a fun moment.

    A dive bar...that serves craft cocktails...in Midtown. If that seems peculiar to you, you're not the only one. Two Headed Dog is very unassuming. You can easily drive by it and miss it. Parking is street only. The block we parked on was free after 6 pm, but read the signs as it varies in Midtown. My friend and I stopped in for a drink after dinner on a Monday night. It wasn't super busy, but there were more people than I was expecting given that it was a Monday. I didn't get the bartender's name, but she was cool. She gave us menus (I loved the cover of the menu - "This Is Our Menu") and answered questions we had about the cocktails. I noticed that they have a Pornstar Martini. I had this drink for the first time in Amsterdam a few months back and was blown away with it because it consisted of the martini, a small glass of Prosecco, and a piece of passionfruit. TDH's version didn't come with passionfruit, but it did come with the small glass of Prosecco. I told the bartender that I had to ask for instructions on how to drink it in Amsterdam because I wasn't prepared for the accompaniments and her response was "booze your own adventure!" LOL. My kind of gal! The drink was good, though I thought the Prosecco was a little flat. Since this is a dive bar, I won't deduct any stars for the lack of passionfruit lol. I can't recall the cocktail that my friend had, but he enjoyed his. The indoor area was small, but they had a nice patio area out front. They were playing an awesome rotation of indie alternative music from the 2000s/2010s which is right up my alley. I don't frequent Midtown often, but I would definitely come back if in the area.

    It's a dive bar, and I really don't do dive bars (full stop) -- but I try to keep an open mind and Two Headed Dog is crafty and clean enough for me to like it! (if that makes any sense at all... lol) The hubs and I decided to be mavericks and step out of our usual & try a new spot for a nightcap. We searched craft cocktails, and the Yelpers + the five star rating led us here. I trust my fellow Yelpers, and I'm happy to report that I wasn't disappointed. Bar service only, the cocktails are tasty, it's dark and tucked away, the music is a vibe, prices are amazing, the aesthetic is quite eclectic, and the restroom was clean. THD clearly has a following as people were continuously streaming in, and after our first visit, the hubs and I agreed that we'd be down to return with company. As one who's admittedly obsessed with a good photo-op, I was soooo tempted to try out the old school photo booth, but I couldn't go all the way without Lysol wipes. #babysteps Overall, I tried a new scene tonight and I liked it!

    Two Headed Dog is one of my favorite dive bars in town. If you aren't looking for it, you would never even know there's a bar there as it is behind a wooden fence. We came to have a few cocktails before dinner on a weekday and there was a decent sized crowd. The weather was nice so we took advantage of the nice outdoor space. Inside it's small but there is a little bit of seating. The staff was friendly and steered us in the right directions as far as what we like. We started off with a few of their cocktails. She got the Plant Creep and I got the Last Rites. Their menu might not be as extensive as some of the higher end cocktail bars, but they definitely put out great drinks. Both of the drinks were delicious and even nice to look at. I kept seeing people with a frozen green drink and I had to get one for myself. It was the Late Nite Pie Daiquiri and it was so dang good. It was like drinking a key lime pie. Dessert in drink form, yes please! Can't wait to get back here and try some of their other creations!

    There's a reason this place has a five star rating - hidden gem! Two Headed Dog is what I would call an "upscale dive bar" tucked off of Elgin Street. Don't let the unassuming entrance fool you, great cocktails, a diverse liquor selection, and talented bartenders await inside. The drinks on their menu are unique and reasonably priced. I was craving an espresso martini which is not on their regular menu, however the bartender was able to craft something similar which was excellent. Great spot to take a casual date or a few friends. One warning - parking is very limited nearby so best to walk, uber, or utilize the metro rail nearby.

    May 22, 2022 Before we headed home to galveston...we stopped by this hole in the wall. There is no name on the front it's just a fence with the door open. (it's directly across from CVS - DON'T PARK there btw...they tow) You'll see the bar name on the building that faces their patio Park at the empty lot at the corner; it says to pay but the owner (of bar) said it's free and that's where to park, so we did. The menu is posted and it's all craft cocktails; very interesting combinations...we tried 3 different ones and didn't like them enough to order again. The owner is super nice. It's a dive bar so very casual. Had a popcorn machine to snack on. They have cookouts and food trucks when announced. Not in the best part of midtown so be aware of your surroundings.

    I'm kinda into this tucked away little divey cocktail bar. Park on the street or in the adjacent lot. It's an unattended paid parking lot, but I was informed by a bartender it's never checked. Came in on a Sunday evening. Karaoke was in full swing on the patio. A person was manning a small grill area for freshly made hot food that night. The place is small, but that's not a problem for me. Emphasis is placed on the house signature cocktails including a few frozen cocktails. No beers on tap, but they have a rather unique assortment of canned beers and cider. The cocktails and theme of the place are loosely tropical. Spent the evening chatting with a friendly bartender, and he walked me to my vehicle when he got off of work due to the random vagabonds roaming the streets in this area. What a nice gesture! Of course one must visit the bathroom. Vintage natural ladies in various states of undress? They have that here. Definitely plan on returning.

    Cool spot thats definitely hidden because it took me 10 minutes to even find it. Its facing Elgin, if that helps. I would describe it as a modern dive bar serving modern and inventive tiki drinks and frozen craft cocktails. The music playing is an interesting mix, with 80s, rock, 90s, rap. A little of everything. I ordered a couple of drinks. Last Rites, a rum based drink which was fruity and low alcohol, and another which I forgot but both were pretty good. I saw many people ordering the guava slayer or guava paloma which looked good. Its a fun atmosphere whether you sit inside or on the patio which is a larger area.

    New favorite cocktail bar. Mezcal, whisky, and rum is how I roll. Had two cocktails here made by Nick that are grand slams.

    This place is so cute! They only serve drinks and a snack. It's a great cocktail place for good vibes and has a more intimate atmosphere. The bartenders are very friendly and make really good drinks!

First, the vibe. It is warm, stylish, and very Montrose in the best way. It feels elevated but still relaxed enough to just sit, talk, and enjoy your time without feeling rushed. We came during happy hour and it was such a great deal. I ordered the Sweet Like Peach Tree, which was light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced with the peach and ginger. My husband got the Frozen Paloma and it was just as good, super smooth with the right citrus bite. We also shared the churros and they were honestly a must order. Warm, crispy, and paired with Nutella and caramel. What really made the experience stand out though was our bartender, Manny. He was incredibly welcoming from the moment we sat down, had such a great personality, and made the whole experience feel personal. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and that kind of service is hard to find. He also told us about their upcoming two year anniversary party on May 3rd with rotating live DJs, which sounds like it will be such a fun time. We will definitely be back. Between the drinks, the atmosphere, and the service, this place really gets it right.

They have bingo nights, dj nights, and other themed events that keep the place packed out.

Considering the recent shutter of other places (#2) within the hospitality umbrella, it's not too big of a surprise that Wooster's would also be in the crosshairs. The space was always a nice mix of indoor and outdoor seating, which combined with its dedicated parking lot made this an easy drinking outlet for all kinds of occasions. The intimate indoor space was lovely and well ventilated, and it felt like there wasn't ever a moment where the bar wasn't slammed. The outdoor space was much of the same, with lots of tables and chairs, and even the trendy swing chairs facing the city. The only thing that was a little bit of a liability were those open flame heaters; it would only take on person to accidentally walk into one or trip onto it. For libations, the drinks were well priced, well made, and always potent. I appreciated the aesthetics, as well as the bartenders who made them. The only part that wasn't exciting was the limited food menu, which did its part as munchies for the drink heavy crowd, but was mediocre otherwise. The space is already undergoing the new facelift of a separate concept, one of which I hope will do the area justice, just as much as Wooster's did. ____________ (#1) The Kirby Group. (#2) R.I.P.

I went because this was the only bar open during Labor Day when I had guest visiting. So I would say it's a pretty nice location, considering the fact that it is always consistently open. They had a good menu with different cocktails that were fun and fruity. Otherwise, I did also see people could order coffee at the bar and have different espresso drinks. It looks like the drink that I ordered is also no longer on the menu. The bar prides itself on having a rotating meal changing menu so I think that's a lot of fun when it comes to trying new drinks and new combinations and it truly shows the artistry of the bartender. There was the option of both indoor and outdoor seating. The interior was more of a dimmer, elegant and darker tone. I can see it being pretty classic if you were to go at night time. The bar set up was really beautiful and they had different 2 to 4 seating wooden tables. Overall, the inside would probably only fit around 20 people. I was very sad because we couldn't sit outside. The day before it had rained so every outdoor seating was wet. But I was told that they had a beautiful seating outside with a garden and a pool. Service was good. The bartender came out of the bar to take orders, give menus and give you the check. I will say that it got really busy at the end and it took a while to get our check. There's only one or two bartenders working at one time so if there's multiple people with different drinks that are ordered, it will take a little bit longer.

Service (3/5): While we had a waitress, she was slow to greet us and slow to check up on us. It's a small bar and there isn't a ton of seating so it's not like she was overwhelmed. For a fancy hotel, you expect better. Maybe sitting at the bar is better than sitting at some seats as we did. Ambiance (4/5): The Colombe d'Or is a beautiful hotel and Bar No. 3 reflects that. It's an elegant spot to grab a drink, although small. Food (N/A): While there are expensive items on the menu, I had dinner earlier that night so I was on a liquid diet. Drinks (3/5): Bar No. 3 is known for its cocktails so I focused on the cocktail list. The list isn't large but it features a nice selection. Like the food, you're going to pay a premium. I enjoyed my adult beverage but felt like it was a bit overpriced. Hitting up hotel bars isn't a common occurrence in Houston unless you're a traveler. For Bar No. 3 to be the only hotel bar on Houstonia's top 50 is a feat in itself.
