My favorite bar to get a good drink. The music is always great and the vibe. Devin the bartender is amazing! Red Light Tuesday's are the best.

Happy hour menu

This place was my favorite place on Earth on my last visit in 2024. When I came back to visit in 2025 things have change a little. One change was exactly what they needed expansion. So that was a pleasant surprise. However they don't keep that area open even when it is jammed pack, which doesn't make any sense. Also now seems like it's a straight sausage party, not many ladies, just jammed packed with so many dudes you can't even move. However the Happier hour is awesome and not as crowded.

Cheers!

You can reserve a table to have a spot separate from the general crowd. This is a small spot and space is limited. The music is vibrant and will definitely get you dancing. The DJ mixed songs together that I didn't know would be paired as well as they were. We got to hear some of the local Houston R&B and rap songs, which was a joy since this is the hometown of some major R&B and rap artists. The drink menu is mature and eclectic. The bartenders know what they are doing! Impressive! I was able to chit chat with some very friendly locals. The TVs were showing the Olympics at the time. At one point every one was cheering U.S.A...U.S.A! The bathrooms were unisex and it was interesting watching the men wait along with the women . It worked. No complaints there. All of the drinks I ordered were nicely done. Security was there to keep the peace. I didn't see anything other than good vibes going on. It got very crowded at one point right before we left. We could tell this was a hot spot. Loved, loved, loved this place. This will definitely be a spot I will definitely come back to when visiting Houston.

I love this place! It's turned into my random after-hours spot with great music, great service, and great drinks when I'm in the mood to vibe and cozy up to a loungey bar. They make a mean French 75 that never disappoints! Cheers!

If you just finished eating brunch and need a place to go just to drink, then this is your place. It is located in a storefront, so parking can be challenging. It's not a big place so it gets crowded quickly. The drinks are pricy, but they are very strong. The Hennessy lemon drop is my favorite drink here. The DJ plays all the latest hip hop tracks.

Add $7 to this salty meal
Joy H.

The club/dj was cool besides having to pay $75 to sit down. Not to mention, the food was overly priced and overly SALTY... They're definitely out to price gouge you on everything. "Free" to get in, but please believe that they will make their money otherwise. I ordered an old fashion, and it was $15. When the waitress came back, it was $19. Order the shrimp plate, which shows 18.00 online. I ordered two plates, and it came out to be $50. Luckily my friend needed it bc was hungry or I would have left it there.. when I brought it to the hostess attention all she said was we've told them.. but did not honor their online price!? It's sad, but this is why I party on Washington. There aren't any hidden fees when you try to patronize your own kind. It's safe to say I won't be back to support this establishment... And you wonder why we are such in a trance as a black community‍

If you love 90's R&B, meet me here on a Tuesday...lol you won't be disappointed. Great Vibe, Nice people, good drinks. It's not quite a hole in the wall, but it gets so packed in here you would think there is no space to begin with. I would recommend getting there before 7pm or reserve a table. I also like coming here on Thursday Nights, but you can find whatever you need any day of the week. Definitely good for grabbing drinks after work too. If you like cigars check out their cigar lounge next door.

This place is amazing. I do not go out to bars/lounges often anymore. The service is great and the music was on point. A great mix of old school and new. This is a black owned business that is ran by family. That's right, build that generational wealth! I will be visiting here again. Kay Kay and Devin serveD the best drinks, was attentive, and speedy with their service! The only thing I would recommend is to get black cherries as this along along with orange peel helps make an Old Fashion.

Overall nice spot. The game was playing along with a good selection of music so there was no way to go wrong. Our bartender was friendly and accommodating as well as the security staff on duty. We were seated pretty quickly, enjoyed a couple drinks, and really enjoyed ourselves. I would definitely return in the future.

As for the food....my Corn Beef Hash was described as "chunky corn beef bits combined w/crisp potatoes". It was not. As you can see it appears to be out of a can; not chunky beef and not crisp potatoes. As you can see by my pix it looks like the slab of corn beef hash mixture was thrown on the griddle and forgotten & burnt flipped over for a second then served. It was not mixed up & heated through. I was already on a time schedule & hungry so had to eat and move on.The buttermilk biscuit was suppose to be home made, but I have my doubts. It was not HOT and not very buttermilked. Finally, the cup of fruit was room temperature, not cool/cold and seemed retail. The hosted talked to the owner by phone & there was a lengthy discussion, so much so I offered to pay. You would think it would be an easy decision as to what to do. The hostess relayed that the owner/Mgr would make an effort to improve. In my mind it would be serving the item as describes or changing the item description. Not sure about future visits.

I'll admit that when we got there, it doesn't look like much from the outside, but inside is a different feel. We were greeted and told we could sit where we like. We picked a table and a menu was promptly brought over with a warm welcome. I ordered the strawberry lemonade and the taco salad with beef. All very good! If you're in the area, give this place a try!

My never ending quest for the perfect hashbrowns lead me to Nate's, which was further motivated…read moreafter realizing it was on my list for years. What I eventually found both surprised and delighted me, and Nate's gets a thumbs up overall. Pictures are deceiving as I thought the place would be larger but it's a tight fit for bigger groups. There are only a handful of tables but plenty of character. It's also a bit grimey, unsightly and even a tinge dodgey, which may be a deal breaker for others but is an immediate appeal to me. Two things immediately standout when it comes to the food: the portions and the prices are outstanding. The offerings are as no frills as the rest of the establishment. The other surprise was how much influence there was from Mexican cuisine. Hash browns were the goal, but chorizo and chilaquiles were the bonus. Another surprise? The hash browns weren't as crispy as I would have wanted. It's entirely plausible that I came on an off day, which happens. However everything else was on point as my chorizo skillet was absolutely dynamite, pancakes were fluffy and indulgent, breakfast tacos were outstanding, and my eggs were perfectly softly scrambled. Even the bacon and sausage patties were delicious, which is a tall order considering it's not likely made in house. Lastly, as someone who drinks cold water like it's a hobby (#1), I'm especially grateful for the massive 32 oz cup of water, which is perfect for someone who drinks like a camel. The staff is not the quickest but they are friendly. Spanish may go further with most and they're not the quickest when it comes to greeting folks or cleaning tables. The food is the star and consider paying in cash. ____________ (#1) I'm thirsty.

Thankfully, Mark was there and initially was told a 35 minute wait but seemed intent by quicker. Ambiance: 4/5 It was breakfast time so of course it was a busy time. For my visit, it was crowded but not to where you couldn't hear your table. Dress is casual, good for friends, solo, or pit stop. Service: 5/5 Our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. Since it was our first visit there, she gave us some background that it was a Pappa's owned restaurant and food is made from scratch. Food: 3/5 They offer mimosas and I was tempted to order, but was driving and it was 9AM so forewent that option. There are food options for every tastebud. Mark ordered the fried cheese sticks, they were one of the items that I found worthwhile to return for. I opted for the Waffle feast. It included a waffle, that I added pecans on top to, two strips of bacon, eggs your way and hash browns. To say that I needed to add salt and pepper to the eggs and hash browns because they tasted bland and flavorless was unfortunate. It also was served at room temperature, because it was made from scratch, would think it be warmer to hot. The waffle was savory and had good mix and topped with the pecans made it even better. If you're on this side of town and want a change up from the "other breakfast diners" DOT would be where I stop. Fast, friendly service. Depending the food you get, it gets the job done for some sustenance to hold you over when you're not sure when your next meal is because you'll be in Galveston for 7 hours riding a float in the Mardi Gras parade.

First and foremost parking can be a challenge so park on one of the off streets and walk over. The hospitality was amazing. Very cordial, casual, friendly - I never once asked for a refill. My cup was full before I got to a quarter glass. We did the waffle breakfast and literally everything was spectacular, the eggs, the sausage, waffle was crunchy on the surface with fluffy innards. The other part that struck me was how diverse it was. There were maybe a dozen people outside waiting to be seated of all shapes, colors, and sizes. When we were gallivanting around the greater Houston area, I was thinking cowboy boots and 40 gallon hats. Instead we got chuck Taylor's and booty shorts. I was like okay, this is my vibe. Baby Barns is a really cozy, kinda tight place. It's not a place you wanna take a party of more than 4 or 5. But if you're hungry and in need of a shopping break or want something a little less commercial then Baby B's is the spot, especially if you don't wanna wait in the Breakfast Klub line until Thanksgiving. But the area surrounding it is beautiful, old timey southern homes with those signature front porches and white painted facades and even comes with cobblestone streets: it's southern Charm with a little gentrification. This is in a diverse neighborhood where all types are welcome so if you're not into "That Kinda stuff" you're probably just better off at Cracker Barrel. But if you want genuine, organic vibes, and friendly banter. Baby Barnaby's is the spot!

Lots of seating, great wait staff, and the sandwiches are gigantic--as they should be for the price. $30 for a sandwich on average.

The pickles they provide before your sandwich arrives are yummy- not like a traditional out of the bar pickle. These are what I remember from NYC. Garlic and not sweet.
