Bingo & espresso martinis
Victoria N.

Came here for Thursday bingo night and $4 espresso martinis! The ambiance is super lively and fun with lots of seating available. It does get pretty busy on Thursdays though, so seats and parking do fill up pretty quickly.

Wicklow is that little house tucked away off all the walkable bars and restaurants in the Heights like Bungalow, Cedar Creek, Drift, McIntyre's, etc. The parking is small, but there's a gravel lot across the street and parking next door at Cedar Creek. There's a small food truck outside for food options. Everything is QR code to order food. I've been here with friends, birthdays, and recently suggested this bar to one of my co-managers retiring who was looking for a chill HH place after her last day of work. She loved it, as well as the other managers and employees. We went on a Wednesday, which is their steak night for $25. You can't order anything else off the menu on that day. I had the ribeye with Brussels sprouts and Cajun potatoes. It had to have been a 12 oz ribeye, which I share half with another manager. I just wish they gave more sides proportionate to the meat. It was perfectly cooked medium, and the char from the grill was nice. You could tell it was topped with butter. A few of them saw what I ordered, and they were enticed to order one, too. Lol. I tend to lean towards gin drinks, and I like their Summer Fling cocktail and G+T which comes in what seems like a mini fish bowl glass. Two and a half of those will get me. Haha. I've also ordered green tea shots for a friend's birthday. I tried a rum drink for the first time. It was a specialty cocktail called Nice Melons which was created by one of the bartenders, and he happened to be there to make it for me. I quite enjoyed the pineapple and tropical flavors. It reminded me of rum punch I had in Turks and Caicos. They also have wine and mocktails which a few co-workers ordered. There's plenty of seating here. You can sit in the A/C at booths inside or stand at the standing tables. There are picnic tables and outdoor booth seating with fans blowing at the patio areas along the front, side, and back. My favorite is the multicolored heart wall that's inconspicuous from the outside. The only thing missing are swings. I won't hesitate to come back here for a drink or steak night. You shouldn't either.

I have been to Wicklow Heights a handful of times over the past year. They offer fancy cocktails in a laid back setting. They have a small indoor area and a huge outdoor area with couches and benches. The patio is great when the weather is nice, though they have fans and heaters depending on the season. The patio has a huge screen which is great for catching a game. At night, they turn the music up inside so it can be hard to have a conversation. The menu has a lot to offer. The bartenders are very friendly and make great drinks. I'm a fan of the variations on the classic G&T. On my last visit, I had an espresso martini and it was excellent! I was pleasantly surprised at how good they made it. I have yet to order a drink that I did not like. They have a small parking lot out front. There's also street parking. Given that it's near a few bars, parking can be difficult during peak times. Wicklow Heights is great for a stop on a bar crawl or for a chill afternoon with friends.

Espresso martini
Mariel T.

One of my tops in the area for sure. It's a great spot to hunker down at a table with friends and enjoy some drinks instead of fighting people at the bar to get noticed. You can order a drink at the bar or find a seat where wait staff will find you. They use QR codes at the table (and there are even some random specials on there!). If you want to take on the rest of the bars on the street, they're easy to get to as well.

Wicklow Heights is always a good time. I loved the Old Fashioned made with William Price Cask Strength. Love seeing great whiskey behind the bar!

Tommy G.

Fun bar! We mostly come here for bingo so service can be slow. Haven't tried the food but nothing beats the $4 espresso martinis!

I came here on a Saturday early evening. This is a bar hoping area for sure, where essentially you could park/ride share here, and walk up and down 19th, bar to bar. It was Kentucky Derby weekend. We sat on the patio out back. The inside of bar is cute too. Nice large screen TV to enjoy a game. It started out with a small crowd but grew larger, as it got later in the evening. My pals and I enjoyed this place. It was our first stop of the night. Drinks-I had the Oaxaca Flocka. I enjoyed all of fruit/veg in my drink. It became a snack after I sipped, lol. Cucumber, jalapeño, strawberries with the Tajin. I wish it was a larger size cocktail, but no complaints. My friends seemed to enjoy their cocktails as well. Parking is typical for heights, at your own risk.

Tiny tini made with William Price Coffee Liqueur

Great cocktail bar with one of the best patios in Houston! Went by on Thursday and they had $4 espresso martinis and $2 tiny tinis, free bingo and a food truck on site with awesome smash burgers. Will definitely be back again

Better Half signature cocktail
Jessica G.

Really enjoyed coming here for happy hour! They have $8 cocktails until 6pm on weekdays which worked out well for my friend and I! We received great service - it was a quiet afternoon and we had plenty of great seating to choose from. I got the Better Half and it was beautiful and tasty - not too sweet and had a great floral flavor from the lavender bitters. They are currently renovating their bathroom area but what's nice is that you could pop across the way to use the other bar's bathroom if you didn't want to use the portable toilet. Definitely enjoyed this place a ton. Give them some love and try their tasty drinks!

Espresso Martini
Jason S.

Wonderful bar with a unique list of craft cocktails. The espresso martini is very good. They do a free bingo on Thursday nights starting at 7. Great give away prizes and the espresso martini's are on special for $4. They have a nice onsite food truck. Inside seating is somewhat limited, but they have a large patio with plenty of tables. Parking lot is pretty small, but street parking is readily available. Staff is fantastic and always helpful. Avery is the best!

The better half drink
Lakeisha W.

This is a hidden gem! Literally googled late night bars and this place popped up! Staff is friendly, available parking in the lot, heavy handed bartender and cool music! Definitely will be back

The Gardeners Daughter
Victor H.

Found this spot and met up with my friend for some cocktails due to reopening. Located in the Heights neighborhood, it's got interesting cocktails/drinks, a large bright outside seating setting, and a taco truck out front. All things that make Houston pretty dope! Drinks are a bit pricy so choose wisely. I enjoyed the Oaxaca Flocka cocktail due to the taste of the strawberry which complements the lime/jalapeño combo garnish. The Gardeners daughter is ok but not one of my favorites: kinda plain with just vodka, syrup, lemon juice, and basil garnish. I wanted the When Doves Cry cocktail but they were out of the jalapeño infused tequila sadly. The outdoor seating is inviting and colorful with lots of chairs/tables and fans. Also a large screen tv for events which makes this a social gathering spot waiting to pop although that may wait due to COVID-19. For eats, they have the taco planet food truck out front and they'll bring the food to you which is cool. They have no menus so use your phone to browse and find what you want. Servers/bartenders are getting used to this new method so it may take a while before you can put in your drink order. Hopefully they'll figure it out. While there are so many other bars to visit, the outside seating and unique drink concoctions make this a must visit. Whether you decide to return is up to you.

For a non-asian coffee shop, this was a great matcha color-wise, and it was a beautiful sweet treat. I appreciated the little bits of nuts (forgot what kind) that came in a few sips. The Turkish Delight was a good option too, and you can taste the hints of rose that usually get lost in some drinks if not done right. I've also tried the Golden Harvest - which is a sweet corn latte - from their seasonal menu as well and it was good! I have not tried their food items, hemp drinks, or cocktails before, but by the quality and presentation of what I have tasted I'm sure they're good as well. This place is great if you're looking for a casual, late night work/study sesh and there's plenty of seating. I wouldn't recommend for groups larger than 4 though. Parking is the only con since they have limited, tight spots.

I would like to preface, this isn't a cheap quick dinner restaurant but I highly recommend coming at least once. We found it on the Michelin guide. I love the inside of the restaurant, the layout is fun and intimate. *grilled oysters were good. The flavor from the n'duja with the bits of pecan was something I would never think to pair. Great start! * elk tartare was surprisingly amazing. I always find tartare to be a tough dish to make outstanding and with elk I was hesitant to try but happy we tried it. The plate was cleaned by the time we finished. The cracker was light and paired well with it. * maitake mushrooms were so good that we had to split it evenly so no one got an unfair amount lol The sauce is like a coffee/caramel/chocolately savory sauce. Mt description doesn't do it justice. It's umami but has a caramelized feel. Just get it! * pork chop was the best pork chop we've had. We typically order steak over pork chops at restaurants but heard great things. Tender and flavorful. I will say it's a very rich dish so be mindful of that but highly recommended * grits, this was the dark horse. It was our favorite tapa. We laugh bc we didn't think grits would be the fav, out of all the amazing dishes. But the beef cheek underneath the silky grits... YUM! I'll be craving them *basque cheesecake was good but not the best we've had. But it's also hard to compete with all the other dishes we had

Overall very mediocre for the exorbitant price they charge…read more We've driven past this place so many times and were finally excited to try it. We love elevated tapas style restaurants so we had to see what it was all about! Unfortunately, the food just didn't wow me at all. It was fine, but fine doesn't cut it for this price. Food: - Duck Liver: 6/10 I LOVE pate so this one was extra disappointing. They pureed it so much that it lost all texture and was like a butter. If that was the only thing off, it would be fine. But the other flavors in there just didn't work for me. The sweetness and oiliness that they added were too overpowering that I could hardly taste the liver itself. The bread was great though. - Elk Tartare: 10/10 I'm not the biggest fan of tartare but this was the best tartare I've ever had and the best dish of the night! The sunflower cracker was amazing; it gave a nice toasty nutty flavor that contrasted with the yuzu underneath. I love all the different textures going on in this dish, which is why I like it better than other tartares which tend to be only chewy/slimy/wet. - Maitake: 8/10 Cooked really nicely. Perfectly crisp and flaky. Just a little too sour for me. - Okra: 7/10 The Gouda sauce was interesting but the okra itself was nothing special. It was nicely roasted and charred. - Pork chop: 6/10 As the main dish of the night, this was quite disappointing. No interesting flavors whatsoever. You can't really taste the chamomile dusting unless you lick it directly. The jowl that they spread on top didn't taste like anything distinct. In fact, I didn't like the texture of it because it was crunchy in a way that felt like I was crunching through little bits of tiny bone... - Basque cheesecake: 9/10 The dessert rounded out the evening nicely. Solid cheesecake. No complaints. Service: Honestly too "attentive" to the point that it was annoying and disruptive. They would interrupt us every 10 minutes it felt like. And the food came out pretty slowly.

Followed by corn, which is good and totally unlike anything I've ever had before. Then the red fish which was sooooo good. Then the pork shoulder with coconut rice and together that was to die for.
