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. read more

Very nice place to relax and have fun with friends in a beautiful garden, the drinks were very well prepared and delicious they have a good selection of different types of beer too my husband enjoy a dark beer. We didn't get to try the food but it seems that they have a good menu. Front parking is really small but they have a bigger parking lot in the back. Overall we had a really great and relaxing experience definitely we'd go back! read more

Worcester's Annex is the cocktail bar component of Heights Bier Garten. I found myself here with friends during my first night in Houston, and since I'm a fan of cocktail bars I decided to check this place out as opposed to the beer. The vibes of WA were totally on. The outdoor area is shared space with the beer bar across the way, and they really created a nice space with multiple seating types and televisions. Inside the actual Annex there was standard bar seating as well as a few long tables. I really liked the decor - the bottles of liquor along the back of the bar created a nice focal point, and the low lighting combined with wood tones really set the tone. They have a vast selection of cocktails separated by flavors (smoky, sweet, tropical, etc.). We ultimately had three rounds and all of the drinks were quite good. The bartenders were great, they whipped the drinks up quickly and were friendly. Overall I had a great time at Worcester's Annex - definitely a place I would return to next time I'm in Houston. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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* read more

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! read more

Worcester's Annex - Gin and tonic - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Annex and chill. Bartenders have always been great here. Date night ambience. Indoor outdoor patio. Trendy location. I guess the only downside to this place is parking and would advise to take rideshare, especially on popular nights. It feels like the place is much bigger than the available amount of parking. read more

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! read more

These are true magicians of spirits of grape and grain. A semi-cool afternoon and I just wanted a holiday whiskey drink. My wife wanted a refreshing drink herself. These guys delivered better than FedEx. My wife didn't like her initial drink so they took it back and made her a custom cocktail with her favorite spirit. She had 2 more and I had to drive home, of course. The firepits added to a perfect Autumn Saturday afternoon. read more

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. read more

Got a drink and chilled. The menu is fancy and super stacked so I couldn't decide what I wanted. So I asked the bar tender for a suggestion . He asked me what I was into, I replied, vodka or tequila and I want it to be cute. He then said, "are you talking about a drink or a date, ha ha ha! He and some dweeb next to me shared a laugh as I stood there refusing to force it. This is what he gave me. read more

Great place to hangout, pretty chill.. Good food, strong drinks, great service.. Although the signage of the business can be confusing.. It's attached (hence annex) to a bigger business (I forgot what it is, I wasn't prepared to make this review.. Yelp forced me ) read more

Not sure why there aren't many reviews, but I do need to say how wonderful my experience was. From the exquisite service from our bartender Ethan to the delicious drinks that he customized! If you just let him know what type of drinks you like and what kind of liquor you prefer, he will whip something up and you will be sure to enjoy it! The pork cracklings were very flavorful also! It came with this spicy buttermilk sauce that paired so well with the saltiness from the cracklings. Aside from the flavors from the food and drinks, the ambience was fantastic for a girl's night or even date. A great area with plenty of parking, same place as the heights Bier garten. The worcester's annex however was the highlight of my night. That section had a photo booth and so many cute chairs that swang or didn't swing. Perfect place when the weather is as great as it was. The weather was 75 degrees. It was Monday with 4 different types of drinks, perfect way to start your healthy week! read more

Locate a swing Now!!!! Came to Worcheater's Annex/ Heights bier hall to catch up with friends on a Saturday evening. The space which is shaped like a courtyard anchored by both a bier hall and spirits hall is a great place to grab the band back together. We particularly liked the swings and overall space. Parking is tough so uBEr/Lyft/bike/carpool to get their or use their intense valet service. I will definitely slide through again! read more

Adam and Ethan are amazing. We tried the Smoke and Sunset. I'm not the biggest fan of mezcal but this drink is dangerously fantastic. They have stairs behind the bar to access to higher liquor, and to me, it's like being in a library with sexy bartenders to access your needs in life. Love the ambiance here, the craft drinks, & the bartenders. Definitely coming back. read more

Very nice atmosphere and the drinks were also really good. Very spacious for larger parties. Family friendly and pet friendly. Great bar service. I visited during the day so it was pretty warm outside but they gave several large fans spraying mist to keep the outdoor area nice and cool. They have 2 large bar areas that have AC. One bar is entirely for cocktails and the other bar is for beer. They have a huge selection of both cocktails and beer options. Definitely coming back soon. read more

Great food and cocktails. Both indoor and outdoor seating available. Recommend for a relaxing good vibe feel.

Love the ambience and the variety of cocktails! They have a huge selection of cocktails classified by taste (sweet, spicy, fresh, spirit forward etc.) that's I find really useful given I like to approach cocktails mood first, specifics later. read more

The most delicious drinks and lovely grounds! Stop by after work. You won't be disappointed!

Heights Bier Garten is such a fun place--a giant yard with picnic tables, hammocks and two bars (Worcester's Annex and Heights Bier Garten)--one for cocktails and one for beer and wine. It's a great setup and the perfect spot for a group get-together. And the food was great too. We tried brunch and really liked the fried chicken croissant sandwich (with granny smith apples!) and the big soft pretzel--very good, especially for bar food. But the service was pretty sub-par. We went shortly after they opened, so they really weren't busy. But when the server dropped off the food, he walked away without giving us silverware, and he also dropped part of our food on the picnic table and then walked off as if he expected us to eat the food directly off the table. No silverware and leaving food on the table is pretty barbaric, if you ask me. read more

Cute outdoor area. There are fans to cool you off on a hot day. Service was quick and professional.

Had a great experience at Worcester's. Lots of outdoor seating. Can't wait to go back when the weather is a bit cooler.

This place has delicious drinks and a rather extensive menu that can be hard to navigate and hard to differentiate. We picked our own drinks the first go around and then each other's drinks the second go around. They were all delicious and thoughtfully made. read more

Worcester's Annex - Prudent Poet was oh so delicious and puurrrrty - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

I only had drinks. Beer section and wine section and they do make mixed drinks. The atmosphere is amazing. I did not have any food.

I went here for a holiday party...finally. I've been wanting to come here for months. I wish I had known that the parking lot was so teeny tiny. I had to walk a few blocks or I could have paid $7 for valet. Anyways, I went to the cocktail side and ordered a hot toddy and a pretzel. I got really excited about it, then after the bartender took my order so came back and said they were out of the 'mix'. After that, she gave me nothing but attitude. She couldn't make any suggestions on what to get instead and asked if I still wanted the pretzel. I ended up with a drink and it was good. The pretzel was great and like a brioche pretzel. However the feeling I had ordering made me feel really terrible about being there. I felt like the bartender wanted me to be anywhere else and that she wanted the same. I won't come back unless someone else choses it. read more

The annex was definitely my favorite part of the Heights Bier Garten and is what really blew me away with their wall of every major type of whiskey distilled and their delicious cocktails. Yes, your tab can get pricy fast, but it's well worth it. The interior space remains well-ventilated despite the access to the central patio so you can comfortably hang out on the vintage tables to escape the summer sun. read more

They had me at craft cocktails. I'm on a new kick where I love all drinks with a spicy kick... and this place has 'em.

You can't go wrong with this new addition to The Heights. I encourage you to check out Worcester's Annex. read more
