    Lavender limoncello martini with William Price Limoncello

    Beautiful space with about every spirit you can think of! The bartenders really know their stuff too. I asked them to come up with something and they made me an excellent lemon lavender martini.

    Worcester's Annex- first time here, visited with a friend. The place is very spacious. I entered through the back and my friend entered through the front. Eventually we both realized that the beer garden is Heights Bier Garten, yep it's like two in one! We started at the annex though. Again, upon entering we noticed a reasonable sized crowd but it wasn't packed. Several people there appeared to be fresh out of the office. We were there during happy hour which I believe is Monday thru Friday from 4-6pm. Perfect timing for us. So anyway, we explored the menu and were at the bar ordering within the next few minutes. Bartender did his job, wasn't the friendliest but the drinks were good so that's cool I guess. We ordered food- sweet potato tots and the veggie flatbread. Neither of us knew what to expect when the pizza arrived, but to our surprise it was delicious! We went over to the beer bar and ended with ciders, very tasty and refreshing. Overall, the place was chill. The drinks were yummy and so was the food. Oh and the parking is very...different, can be quite challenging. My friend said the restrooms needed attention.

    Hailey's Comet Cocktail! So refreshing!

    Visited this bar on a late Thursday night to have a quick catch up with a friend. Worcester's Annex is directly next to Heights Biergarten. They basically share the same outdoor seating. There is valet parking and limited self parking on Shepherd. Could have walked from my apartment but it was too hot! Their kitchen was closed when we arrived around past 11pm which means I'll have to return to sample their food. I ordered a tropical cocktail to feel refreshed with Houston heat. I got the Hailey's Comet cocktail and it was sp delicious! The vibe was relaxed although it was still quite busy that time! Price wise, I would say is at par with all other establishments. Will definitely come back!

    The cocktails and the vibe here is spot on! Indoor/outdoor seating options take WA up even further in the ranks for me! I freaking love their cocktails. The bartenders are friendly and know how to make great drinks! (Joel is my fave!) I love that they have great food options as well. I'll be a frequenter, for sure!

    Definitely a family friendly local gem during the earlier hours of the day! Booze & kitchen to one side and crafty cocktails on the other. I love the open concept and adult size friendly swings at the tables located in between the 2 establishments, but hate the only food options have to go over to the booze side My only real complaint is I requested an ingredient to be left out of one of the drinks I was requesting and the bartender was very "passionate" it wouldn't taste right... (although, I order this beverage a few places around town) & adamantly disapproving my choice the entire time he crafted the cocktail... even after guarantee I would drink it either way...*inserts eye roll*

    Came here on a Saturday night around 10:30 and got a gin and tonic, which tasted great. Simple, smooth, and high-quality. This is a great place for both small and mid-sized groups. We had about 8 people. The bar is beautiful, as are the glass windows. And for people who don't like cocktails, you can go right out the door to Heights Bier Garten! There is a lovely shared, covered outdoor space as well. Would love to come back and try some more complex cocktails!

    Stopped in for drinks at the end of happy hour. We LOVED their whiskey cocktail selection. We will definitely be back again for more cocktails. The atmosphere also shares common outdoor seating with the heights bier garden which we found helpful if you have someone who doesn't drink liquor. We had a great experience with the bartenders, social distancing, and the abundance of outdoor seating.

    Outdoor seating area with fans
    Jill L.

    Love this place!!!! The outdoor area is perfect even on a hot day because they have numerous fans that mist water on you. (Okay, maybe you do not love it if you just curled your hair, like my friend had but whatever) They have these amazing swings you can just sit and relax in, outdoor games and even on those 2 cold days in Houston, a fire pit! It is dog friendly and every time I have been there is always a handful of dogs tucked off in a corner. Best part about this place is not the outside though, it is the drinks. They have such an extensive drink menu that is broken up by flavor profile, which I LOVE! That way if you know you are looking for a spirit forward drink, or refreshing drink, or spicy drink it really helps you narrow down your choices. Which is great for those indecisive people that you know. Besides the great drinks, I have to say that the food is also delicious. We had the sausage platter which was delicious. There was about 8 different sausages on the platter with a few dipping sauces. We also got the pretzel, which was a great compliment to the sausage platter. But wait there is more, if you can believe it. The other great thing about this place is that it is connected to the Heights Bier Garden, which is on the other side of the outdoor patio. This way the MEN can get their manly beer drinks and the women can get their delicious mixed cocktails. It is a win for everyone people!

    Stopped in for a midday drink and was surprised on how nice this place was. My drink was amazing + refreshing and the bartender was helpful soo welcoming!

    Great skilled bartenders whipping up a large variety of cocktails. The cocktail list is honestly so impressive I don't think I've had the same drink twice because you always want to try something new! Great happy hour deals on most of their cocktails and I even spotted an herb garden across the street on the backside of the building where I'm assuming they get their herbs from for the cocktails. Highly recommend a stop in.

    Out of Season
    S M.

    1st timer. Cool vibe, beautiful night. I was taken aback by the 2nd bartender when placing my order, he did not even let me place my order 1st instead ask for my method of payment - off putting. Well I ordered a cheese burger and sweet potato tots. The same male bartender really did not spark my taste of whiskey drinks, considering there is a plethoric of liquor available for creative drinks to be served. I tried the the Out of Season it was good. Food was good, drink was okay, ambiance was lovely.

    HAPPY HOUR MONDAY - FRIDAY (3PM-6PM) Worcester Annex is the cocktail side of Heights Bier Garten. I think it's cool how they separate the cocktail from the beer side because it does make for easier ordering. I believe Annex's happy hour actually starts at 4PM but you can order happy hour beer at 3PM I am a huge fan of Wooster in Midtown and Height Bier Garten is their sister bar so I had to give it a try. I prefer the indoor seating at Wooster more but the outdoor area at Height Bier Garten is a lot more inviting. I also noticed that Annex doesn't garnish their drinks as much as Wooster. It's not a big deal but does make it more appealing to drink. I will say that their SPIRIT FORWARD selection is nicer because they better mask how boozy their drinks are. Wooster's spirit forward selection can be intense but what do you expect from a strong drink. (5/5): BEET HUMMUS CROSTINIS: I was so surprised by this appetizer. It was so delicious! The color was so vibrant and the presentation was eye-catching. The grilled cucumber and leeks added this smokiness and depth to the dish. It was a great balance of sweet, savory, and crunchy. I would get this again!

    Victoria M.

    Pronounced WOOSTERS :) The better: Great giant (dog friendly!) patio shared with the Bier Garten. Nice idea to divide and conquer the beer vs liquor lines. Fancy cocktails take way to long to make (typical), so when it's busy, I stick to wine or something with 3 ingredients or less. Yummy pretzel, good charcuterie board, fries, burgers. Maybe a revolving food truck outside, but it was a taco one while we were there. The lesser: parking is limited as it typical for the area. Those fancy cocktails get expensive.

    Something fancy!

When my friend made the reservation, she received an email encouraging customers to visit the tasting room before or after dinner. We showed up an hour early to visit the tasting room, however the host had no idea what we were talking about. Turns out they weren't doing tastings. Luckily, we didn't have to wait to be seated. We initially had a table that was not near a heat lamp, however an employee came over and let us know that we could switch to a table near the heat lamp which was appreciated because it was chilly. Our server was Laura. She was nice and funny. They had $25 flight specials. I went with the Sayanara Flight which had white wines. I really enjoyed them and they weren't too sweet. My friend had an NA wine which she enjoyed. We ordered the Truffle Fries and Meatballs. Both dishes were tasty. I enjoyed the aioli that came with the fries. They had discounted wines for purchase. Not all bottles were 50% off, however the gentleman that we spoke to went ahead and gave me a 50% discount on both the rosé and pinot grigio that I purchased which was so appreciated! It seems like there are quite a few businesses around town that are closing. I'm sad to see Mutiny go, but I'm glad my friend and I got to dine in on their final night.

I often pass by it going through a shortcut to I-45 and sometimes going home around the area. It's literally a 5-minute drive. I booked reservations Friday since I saw they opened up the 31st on Resy. It wasn't earlier in the week, but I knew it was the last day, and my friend and I really wanted to try. I'm glad we made reservations because they were at capacity (150 person capacity) and weren't taking any walk ins. We got there early cause Resy suggested checking out the Tasting Room before or after the reservation time. We got there about an hour earlier, and the host said he didn't know anything about that except that the Tasting Room area was used for events. Interesting. We were seated earlier on the patio on this freezing evening. At first, we were at a table that didn't have a heat lamp, but when one freed up, they were so nice to suggest that we move closer to the heat lamp since they saw us shivering. Lol. We were thankful for that. I wore fleece lined jeans and brought gloves and a beanie anyway having been in the below freezing winter in London. Laura was our server and was kind and funny. So was this other guy who checked in every now and then. He made light of their last day situation. The dining area is so beautiful inside. I love the limestone-looking interior and chandeliers. Reminds me of Fredericksburg or something. They had many large groups and a few small groups of friends or couples dining on this last day. Way to go out with a bang. A lot of the wines were selling out or already sold out around 7-8 pm. We tried the truffle fries and Sicilian meatballs with focaccia bread. I like the thick cut of the fries and the black garlic aioli. It reminded me of yuca fries. The Sicilian meatballs were a bit small, peppery and salty. I wish the marinara was a little more tart. The focaccia helped cut through the saltiness. I had 2 glasses of the NA Sauvignon blanc which was light and a little tart. They ran out of the NA red blend. My friend ordered Sayonara, one of their farewell flights which were aptly named for "goodbye". It was a great night on the patio but chilly. My friend purchased a rosé and a Pinot Grigio as part of their Last Sail wines. Actually, the Pinot Grigio wasn't part of the sale, and he was going to take off 20%, but he also made it 50% off. So nice!! I'm glad we got to try them on their last day. Bon voyage, Mutiny.

The place was dimly lit and there was a lot of seating, both indoor and outdoor. A lot of the seating inside was arranged as couches with low tables, which made for a very casual and relaxing vibe, while the overall atmosphere remained very classy. - Padre's Hotdog (4.5/5): I was told by my friend that this was the best hotdog ever so I had very high expectations and I wasn't disappointed. The bread was very buttery and nicely toasted. The frank itself was very juicy and I loved how the pico and mustard help cut through the fat. The thing that made this hotdog stand out was the cheese sauce. The cheese sauce was delicious and I could probably have just eaten that alone. One thing though, the hotdogs were a bit on the smaller size, you probably would have to order something else or a second hotdog if you were hungry. Would come back again just for this hotdog! Parking/Service: There was a small lot on the side of the building, but other than that you might have to street park in the neighborhood right next to it. The ordering system was a bit of a surprise for me. You have to walk in to the bar and order there.

The vibe inside is super cute with mood lighting and plenty of intimate seating spaced throughout. Parking in said shopping center is sparse. I'm not sure if parking is allowed at the neighboring businesses after hours, but I wanted to play it safe and ended up waiting about 15 minutes for someone to vacate their space. Our group had a couple of tables reserved and they had no problem having everyone pay on separate tabs. Service is offered both at the table and bar. Our waiter was attentive and had great recommendations for wine. When I was conflicted between two whites, he graciously brought me out both to taste and decide. I went with the Cacciabruco Malvasia/Trebbiano, which is a skin-contact white wine, so it had more of a reddish hue to it and almost looked like a rose in the dim lighting of the restaurant. I really liked this, as it was on the drier side and satisfied my palate more than the Gewürztraminer that I had also sampled. I didn't try the food but others in our party really liked the flatbreads they ordered. I do want to try these out next time because I know they will pair great with the wine! I'm glad I finally discovered this place! I'll definitely be back for happy hour and even a date night.

It was a good pour, not too little or too much and the taste was deep, well balanced and smooth. Since the event took place around dinner time I also had a Fig and Speck flatbread. The fig, prosciutto and other toppings complimented each other well. The flatbread dough itself was ok but could've benefited from a little more flavor such as some garlic, butter and herbs. I also would've liked it a bit thinner so I could taste less of the bread and more of those delicious toppings. Don't get me wrong it was good and I ate all of it but these are small suggestions I'd recommend to bring it to perfection. I could see parking and seating being tricky. I was fortunate to snag a parking spot on the side of the building near the auto place and once inside I found a seat at a table with a lovely couple, another couple joined us soon after. Many of the guests who arrived later stood at first and then halfway through the event, made their way to the floor where they sat cross legged. All in all, The Library was a nice establishment and although a little out of my way, I'd return for another event or if I were in the area again.

You can either park on the street or in the neighborhood behind. There's bar, small table and booth seating available. One of our friends who arrived early got to switch us to a booth since we'd have a few plates to share for the four of us. My friend and I shared the NA red sangria. I liked that there was a NA option for that, and you can choose either red or white. We ordered a pitcher since we were sharing. It was delicious and refreshing. I think I had about 3 wine glasses of it. Our group shared the red fish à la plancha, patatas bravas, spinach frittata, olive oil pancakes and bacon-wrapped dates. Some of the dishes were bigger than others. Tapas is meant to be small plates, and they were, but it's a little overpriced. For example, the red fish was $15.50 for maybe 2 oz of fish. The stack of olive oil pancakes were small and thin for $8.50. If you're sharing, it's not that much food. I was going to order another personal stack of olive oil pancakes because that cinnamon butter was so good! I decided not to after I let all of what we ordered and drank settle for a bit after. The valdeon whipped blue cheese under the bacon-wrapped dates didn't taste very good and seemed grainy to me. It was my least favorite. The standouts for me were the olive oil pancakes, spinach frittata that was actually loaded with more veggies and bell peppers and the patatas bravas which was piled with potatoes topped with mayo that melted down and looked almost like melted cheese on top. It's a fun place for friends to gather or a cute date spot. You may or may not be hungry after depending what you order. There are larger plates/entrees like paella and branzino to share.

It's a very good portion as they give you (almost) half of a roasted chicken, topped with Parmesan gnocchi. Definitely worth sharing with the table! The Le Cochon or The Pig is a fun one as it's served in a big board with the options of eating your slow-cooked Berkshire pork with your steamed buns or lettuce wraps. The flavors are even more colorful when you add the toppings and in-house sauce that looks like it might be bbq sauce... but better because it's got a little bit of a bite to it! It's fresh, colorful and the pork is tenderrr! Last but not least, the 72 Hour Short Rib is a must try! The meat falls apart as soon as you touch it and sits on the best grits I've ever had, Plonk's Anson mills cheddar grits. The wine reduction compliments the dish and every bite makes you wish that the dish doesn't end. I highly recommend this restaurant for a date night, a casual night, a family night or just any night! They never disappoint and is truly a staple within the neighborhood.

    I actually did not get to try anything here, and I do not plan to return…read more Before visiting, I specifically checked Google Maps because I had my dog with me. The listing for this exact location says "pets welcome," so I felt confident stopping by. However, as soon as I walked in, I was greeted by two customers fawning over my dog. Before any staff member greeted me or even acknowledged me as a customer, someone from behind the far counter told me that dogs were not allowed inside. I mentioned that their Google listing says pets are welcome, and the response was that it applies to a different location. That would be fine if it were clear, but the listing I checked had this location's address directly underneath "pets welcome." That is confusing and misleading. What made it more frustrating was the lack of hospitality. There was no greeting, no attempt to clarify kindly, no "We're sorry for the confusion," and no effort to offer a solution like helping me quickly order to go. It felt dismissive. Clear and accurate information matters. If pets are not welcome at this location, the listing should reflect that. I drove out of my way based on that detail, and it ended up being a waste of time and gas. Because of that experience, I chose not to patronize the this location but may try another location one day.

    This is the best bar burger in Houston. Juicy meat, fresh tasting, well-seasoned. 10/10 no notes…read more Drinks were good but we stuck to beer/wine since we drove here. The burger was the highlight. Moody lighting and not too loud (unless someone brought their kids) so you can actually converse with your party. Will absolutely be back for the burger. Fries were great too. Highly recommend adding jalapeños to your burger, the up charge is worth it. They're fresh and actually spicy!!

    I came in on a Tuesday evening with my girl friend for their Steak Night special. I've driven by…read moreplenty of times and can't believe I haven't ate here yet. It's a nice lowkey neighborhood spot with a bar and outdoor seating as well. The ambiance was chill and casual which I am all for. They are pet friendly as I got to see some fur babies come in which is always nice. We started with some glasses of Cabernet and told our waiter we were celebrating my birthday. The food didn't take long to come out and was so darn good. It was probably one of the best steak nights I've had in a while. We had the ribeyes, mash potato, mac and cheese, green beans, and French fries. The steak was seasoned perfectly and grilled to the perfect temperature to my liking. We are still talking about it, I can't wait to come back and try their chimichurri sauce. We ended with the strawberry and Cinnamon Toast Crunch cheese cake. They weren't too sweet and just the right amount of richness. If they aren't on your list for steak night I definitely recommend!

Parking: Tons of parking here surprisingly, both a paved lot and a pebble lot. We had a reservation for 3 at 7PM and were promptly seated at a booth after a small line of people. Order-to-Appetizer: 15 Minutes Order-to-Entrees: 30 MInutes For three people, we ordered: Dairymaid's Cheese Board (4/5): Comes with four cheeses, five small pieces of sourdough, honey-spritzed grapes, green Granny Smith apples, and fava beans. I wish they gave us more bread with the cheeses and preserves. The four cheeses provided were slices of a five-year aged Cheddar, Oveja Anejo, Tomarashi, and Gruyere. I enjoyed the Tomarashi the most. It is a bit pricey for what you get, but very sharable and a great starter. Shady Acres Pizza with prosciutto (3.5/5): I really don't like getting thin crust pizza that isn't crispy, and unfortunately this was a soggy thin crust pizza. The toppings themselves were very flavorful, and the end parts were crispy enough. 5 Cheese Calzone with chicken (3.5/5): Whew, five cheeses makes for a salty calzone. The side marinara sauce provides a good balance. It's very filling. Chicken might have been a good addition because prosciutto might have made it too salty. It was larger than expected which was nice for sharability. Service was kind of iffy. They were pretty rude with not providing us utensils and seeming almost angry that we asked for some for the cheese board. They mixed up our order (we asked for chicken on the pizza and prosciutto on the calzone and they flipped it) and seemed almost apologetically serving us afterwards. Overall, would recommend as a relaxed date spot at a reasonable price. I paid via inKind and applied referral credit with no issues. Would come back with inKind credit, probably not at full price.
