The drinks were excellent the service was impeccable. The bartender was very knowledgeable. Very kind. The ambience is definitely a New Orleans feel. read more

The bouncer was really weird and tried to press some sort of authority agenda and the vibe just felt super weird. It's crazy because we were there earlier during the day and the vibe was a lot more welcoming. read more

Voodoo Queen Daiquiri Drive is your quintessential neighborhood dive bar and I am here for it. My friends recently put me on this spot and I am ever so grateful they did. I guess you can classify the area as EaDo. I don't remember a dedicated parking lot, but there is alot of street parking in the area. Looks can be deceiving. It has a divey look on the outside, with a little patio and picnic tables. Walking in, it was the complete opposite. I'm not saying it's upscale inside, but it's clean, has dim lighting with string lights, quirky decorations, random seating throughout, a couple of pool tables, a jukebox, etc. The NOLA vibes were there with all the frozen drink machines lined up behind the bar. We came pretty early in the night and the place was busy. We got lucky and was able to take up some space at the bar. Customer service was great. I knew coming in I was going to go for a frozen drink of some sort, but they got it all. It's almost like they had an identity crisis and just decided to put all the drink varieties on the menu. They have tiki bar type drinks that are rum forward. They have the tequila category with margaritas, palomas, etc. They have all kinds of draft and bottled beer. Then of course all the frozen concoctions. You can get them as is with one flavor, or get one of their mixes with extra shots of flavored liquor or tooters as they like to call it. I tried the Sexxx Waxxx. The name alone seemed intriguing. It was a mix of one of their mango drinks along with strawberry mixes. Delicious and it packed a punch as well. I took it easy and stopped after one. They also have food on deck. They got Po'Boys, chicken strips and other bar foods. My friends swore by the tator tots. I got a large order to share and even though they looked like regular tots, they seasoned and cooked them to perfection and they were addicting. I need to come back and try their other stuff as well. Overall, great spot. I wish it was closer to home because places like this make me happy. I will definitely be back when in the area! read more

I can't believe it has taken me this long to finally try this spot. I am a sucker for frozen drinks, so I have certainly been sleeping on this place. Huge menu of NOLA-esque daiquiris and the most divine-smelling bites (we came before a dinner reservation so didn't have a chance to sample). These drinks are potent - they will certainly sneak up on you in the best way possible. Friendly staff and a quirky, come-as-you-are vibe makes this a Houston treasure. Parking - small lot and street read more

Food was great but what they don't tell you they put a $50 hold and you don't get it back for a week. $20 okay maybe but $50 is crazy considering my tab was $25 and I got charged for both. They say there's a sign but I couldn't even see it when they pointed out to me . Our whole giant group was mainly from out of town and they knew this so to not let ppl know is crazy. Definitely affected my trip. I've worked at many bars and restaurants and never seen such a large hold that takes a week to refund. read more

Cool little daiquiri spot with a fun dive bar feel. They have a small parking lot next door and I managed to get a spot in there no issues. They have food and I tried the boudin balls which were delicious! It was quite busy in there and they only had 2 bartenders so service can take a while. All in all I would Deff go back again. read more

If there were a half-star option, that would be the one I'd choose for this establishment. A few things I would like to point out before you come here: The quality of service has declined dramatically. Be prepared for the staff to hog the pool tables. Fellas, if the boys invite you to this place after a long day of work and you look "too tired," you may be asked to leave. And for my ladies, if you take longer than three minutes in the restroom, no matter what the situation may be, you could be accused of doing drugs in front of everyone and be kicked out. This was our experience and I was extremely embarrassed for I was hosting a get together with friends and family you forever lost our business read more

Nut allergy warning: be careful of almond liqueurs. I kept to beer to be cautious. Indoor is large and outdoor has a few tables. Parking is street or a small lot with about 20 spots. Fun little dive bar. Two pool tables, air hockey, a photo booth, and some different seating. Large tater tots took about 20 minutes to come out, so food will be a little while if you order any. The tots were decently crispy and definitely sharable. Shrimp was OK. Drinks are fast if there's no line. Very reasonable drink prices ($6-9 for a 20oz goblet, $12-15 for frozens), and eight frozen cocktail options are great. The rotating IPA was the Brash Cali Green while I was there. After tax and tip I paid about $40 for three goblets and large tots. I would recommend they make bathrooms gender neutral or make it clearer if they are... Surprising line for male restrooms in the evening. Obviously, depends on the crowd. Great for a date, hanging out with friends, or anything else. read more

My favourite bar in the city! DELICIOUS drinks, fun and friendly bar staff and the best chicken sandwich and chicken tenders I have ever had! The jukebox is eclectic, the energy electric but in a crazy chill yet fun way! Can't recommend this place enough! A jewel of HTX for sure!!! read more

I am extremely disappointed with my visit to this bar and I will NEVER return. Came here based on a recommendation with a group of friends and immediately felt unwelcome. The manager or owner, whatever she wants to call herself, already gave us side looks at the bar. Not sure if it was based on race or sexual orientation which would be crazy since she looked like she might possibly be lgbtq and a minority. One friend forgot their ID so they left to get it and upon arrival was turned away due to the top black barcode being taped together. The birthday was still visible and valid but they were still told to leave. They wouldn't even let them stay while we finished a round of pool. I called the "manager" racist and IMMEDIATELY they got upset and was in my face and was very aggressive. Thankfully the Mill was next door and the vibes were soooooo welcoming! We had a great time speaking with the bartender, playing pool, and even did karaoke. The unprofessionalism from this establishment is comedic, even in their responses to our reviews. This bar lacks professionalism and accountability and I suggest spending your money somewhere else where everyone is welcome. read more

Cold drinks and neat vibe, this daiquiri dive bar is right off a Main Street in EADO, the food orders are simple- if your getting your drink to-go you will need to place a $1 food item. Like an egg roll or tater tots. Service is okay, sometimes the staff may not acknowledge in a timely manner that you have been waiting and seems like you may need to stand somewhere else to be seen in order to place a to-go order at the bar but understandably staff can get busy. read more

The Banana Hammock was absolutely delicious. Was cautioned they could only make one more, I kept at the opportunity and it was worth it. The food was mostly great. The shrimp with hush puppies and tater tots was very good and beautifully seasoned. The eggroll was nothing special in a good way, it satisfied exactly the craving I had for it. Although the bread and trimmings on my PoBoy were lovely, the debris itself, while a beautifully rich texture, was very underseasoned. Would I go back, though? Absolutely. read more

Went to Voodoo Daiquiri Queen yesterday with my friend and had a really disappointing experience. There were people openly smoking pot outside, which clearly wasn't being enforced, but somehow my friend couldn't get in because her ID was expired by only a month. That alone would've been fine if it was handled respectfully, but the guy at the door was rude and had an ugly attitude about it for no reason. It just didn't make sense picking and choosing what rules to enforce while being disrespectful to customers. Definitely killed the vibe before we even got inside won't be going back read more

Food...I was highly disappointed by my meal...the fried shrimp batter fell apart and was not seasoned. The drinks were not good but looks pretty. Service was ok, very much a dive bar. Ambiance was dirty needs cleaning. Not returning. read more

I enjoyed my first visit to this daiquiri drive! They have pool inside you could play, a nice amount of seats as well, and a bar area of course. The service was pretty good, my bartender was attentive and she was friendly. They have lots of different drink options here, I didn't know what to choose! Our food was pretty good, no complaints there. I noticed there was all types of people here, I mean alllll types. It was pretty cool to see quirky, rockstar, hipster, and the too cool crews all in the same place. There is outdoor seating available! read more

1-Star Review I had an extremely disappointing experience. I ordered a drink based on the menu description, but it didn't match at all. I didn't drink it and politely asked for a substitute. Instead of helping, the woman behind the counter told me "no" because she "can't resell it," then took the drink and threw it away. I was still charged $35 for a drink I didn't consume, and when I asked about it, I was told I'd have to pay again for a different one. The staff was rude and unprofessional. I left feeling disrespected and ripped off. Definitely not coming back. read more

Staff is not very friendly, the door guy is very rude, will not return , major disappointment

Voodooo is a real laid back bar, food is really really good and super cheap. A must try is hush puppies and chicken strip baskets. Fried and blackened are great giant strips and very juicy. Easily beat strips I've ever had. Also play good music have pool tables and a ski ball table. Gets busier around 10:00 - 11:00 read more

We stopped by last Friday since the Cidercade had a line that was not even worth waiting on. We rolled in around 9:30 and it was decently crowded, but not too bad. The wait on drinks however was unacceptable. So slow. When I tried to get the larger size for the daiquiri they told me they only do one size (the small one). I asked about the bigger cup next to the one he had grabbed. He informed me that it was only for mixed drinks. Seems like a lost revenue opportunity and also a way to keep their line shorter. The daiquiri itself was pretty tasty, but I'm pretty sure it was a lack of alcohol and a good amount of sugar based drink. Will I be back? Possibly for one drink for the night if I'm on that side of town. Not making a special trip across town for it. I did like White Rhino across the street a lot better. read more

Kind of Hipster for me but comfortable casual ambiance the cd jewbox is stacked with awesome 90s 80s 70s music. I was very happy to see a real jewbox again i hadn't seen one in a long time! This is the longest I've been at a single bar in one night got there at 5 pm left at half past midnight. Buzzed and enjoyed the chicken tenders basket more than I would sober. So my only compliment is the 1 stall restrooms.. like wtf? Why bro why? you guys tested my bladder that night. I think next time I'll bring a portapotty in tow and charge people to use it read more

Low key bar with good eats. Patio seating, billiards, TVs, drinks, and food. What more could you need? Food / Drinks They have an assortment of drinks, but clearly their specialty is in the name. They have a load of different mixes of their base offerings including shots to add. We had the Tamarindo Breakfast and Rogue Wave. Both were delicious and refreshing on a hot night. We also tried their grilled chicken po boy and the Cluck Yeah chicken sandwich made Nashville Hot. Both hit the spot! Service There was a line to the bar, but it moved fast. We placed our order within 10 minutes of arrival and had our drinks in hand to boot! Pricing This is always in the eye of the beholder, but IMO the prices are very reasonable for what you receive. Portions were decent, drink sizes as well! Overall This place is definitely worth a visit and is right across the street from another joint that didn't live up to what we had hoped to find. If you are looking for some nice frozen cocktails and some good grub, give it a go! read more

You wouldn't normally expect to get good food at a dive bar, but let me tell you: Their baskets rival any place in town. Where else can you get a combo a crinkle fries, tater tots, AND hush puppies fried to PERFECTION! I mean seriously. Can't go wrong with the chicken strips or the shrimp. Only $12. It always tastes hot and fresh. Perfect for late night bites. The daiquiris are ok and of course the atmosphere is what it is. But I come for the baskets. read more

Delicious Food and delicious drinks. I got one of the $11 daiquiris and man that shit was good. Super fresh and not too sugary. I didn't even taste the alcohol but it hit me halfway through. Plus it comes with a cool souvenir cup. I tried my friends "fresh juice" that was like $13, but I hated it. The chicken basket was amazing! great portions of everything. Big ass chicken tenders, and enough fries and hush puppies for 3 hungry girls. It's a chill place I would only come here to drink and eat with friends. They have pool and air hockey but you have to pay to play both and they stay pretty busy. Also, i hate that there is only one bathroom. Don't get the po boys, they're more expensive and not nearly as much food. read more

I used to really like this place, the Monday chicken tenders deal was unbeatable and the daiquiris are great. We never went to another bar on Mondays. However, since COVID they have discontinued the tenders deal and service has just plummeted. I went there last week to try their hot chicken sandwich, which looked amazing from their social media posts, and this is what we were served. A wafer thin piece of dry chicken. I paid extra for "extra spicy" and it was completely undetectable. When we brought it up to the manager her response was basically "oh oops" with no resolution offered. This is the kind of place where they appear to take pride in shitty service and a bad attitude, which is fine with me as long as the food and drinks are good. But it's no longer charming when all that goes down the drain. read more

If you want a NOLA-style daiquiri dive bar married with H-town's chill vibe, do Voodoo. They have at least 10 frozen machines going with all sorts of flavors, large blenders to quickly make other blended drinks, beer on tap, liquor, jello-shots, and wine (in a can). Honestly, I can't sip too heavy on those strong, sweet drinks. Cals, y'all. The biggest draw for me: Half price poboys on Tuesdays. You get a hearty poboy for about $6. I always split the poboy + a side with a friend. The Big Easy Tots are easily shared amongst 3 people - maybe four. Last time we didn't even put a dent in those tots. It's a tower of tots with Debris and roast beef, shredded cheese, chives, and a slice of American cheese just 'cause. Sports fans can catch games there - plenty of large screens - they also have pool tables, air hockey, a jukebox, lots of seating, patio seating, a parking lot. read more

Went for a drink with a friend on a Thursday, they had just opened but there was a couple groups already there. They do have a lot of drinks, they were good but they are too sugary for me so I got a couple beers instead. The food was great. We got a chicken sandwich that could rival any chicken place! It was a huge sandwich in artisan bread, perfectly crispy with golden brown crinkle cut fries. We also got the loaded tots to share and we didn't finish half of those. The place is a good place for groups, they have a jukebox and ski ball , pool and big retro booths to sit in. read more

Drinks are amazing all the time still have yet to try the food but overall first couple times friendly nice vibes . Great prices good music.

At first glance, I wasn't sure about this place. After walking in, the food and tequila choices were great

They made me purchase food item to take to-go drinks and made me wait 20 minutes for an egg roll that cost me 4 bucks. They didn't let one of my party in because she had her wallet stolen and only had a valid paper ID, brought her old clipped one as well just in case. Heard the security making jabs at her after, for something she couldn't even help? The staff couldn't have cared less to explain anything when I got up to the register and the flavor list was too far to read. Shit place. If I could put three tags for what this place needs to improve, I would. read more

Service was okay. Bartender refused to serve a shot thinking my husband was drunk when he really is disabled. She used the excuse that she was only doing her job but truth be told that the people who committed atrocious acts during the holocaust were "just following orders as well" Try it if you'd like but not worth the money or time if you'd ask me. Also, bouncer has the dream of doing more with his life other than throw people out of the bar. He forced me out even though my card was left behind. He was rude saying I was arguing with the bartender when I was advocating for my husband. read more

A dive bar true to its name. The bartenders were friendly and helpful with suggesting drinks because their menu is pretty big. They have some really fun funky drinks. The 2 stars is because the employee outside (I guess the bouncer?) was really unfriendly and kind of spoiled our time. We had just come from celebrating our friend's bday so she had a few gifts. He refused to let her in with the gifts (2 were wine bags). Of course we could never open a bottle at their establishment so we offered to place it on another table or even on the ledge around the perimeter of the bar so it was out of reach and he could see it. He still refused, with no apology or sense of understanding. Even if he had simply said "I'm sorry, I know it complicates what to do with your gifts, but it's our policy", I don't think we would have had an issue or negative impression of him. Instead he just coldly said "No! You can't bring it!" Oh and the music playing outside was kind of odd too. For a Saturday night, it was something that would put you to sleep. read more

You should fire whomever is running your Instagram page. If I could give less than one star, I would. i went there one time. The bartender was a super nice, and very helpful girl. The food wasn't that great, but it was ok. What really sucked was that I somehow lost my ID while I was standing at the bar waiting for my food. I didn't realize until I got home, which is 30 miles away. I tried to call multiple times, but no answer. I messaged them on Instagram and the person running the social media was completely rude, unhelpful, flippant and an A-hole to me about the entire situation. read more

We have been long-time fans of voodoo - from before the fire/remodel and even now during social-distancing safety measures. First, their frozen drinks are fantastic - my favorite is the Suntan Lotion. I am also obsessed with their BLT Po Boy and tater tots, although I've never had a bad food item. Their happy hour is also notable with super cheap well drinks, and they also have great weeknight specials. We will continue to return again and again! read more
