I love exploring the local distilleries in my area. One of the places I was excited to check out was Yellow Rose Distilling. I decided to go on a quieter night and sample a flight of their spirits. They also offer tours that show you how they make their products. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, and they gave me some tips on which bottles were rare and worth buying. The atmosphere was relaxed and cozy, and I felt comfortable in my casual outfit. It was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend it. Parking: Plenty of parking due to it being at the end of a strip center.

We had a great experience here. We came to Yellow stone distillery for a Sushi Cooking class and we had lots of fun! The instructor was very nice and clear on the instructions. Which made the class more enjoyable. We prepared 2 sushi rolls and a nigiri. Highly recommend the class As we waited for the class to start we ordered a few drinks. I don't usually drink whisky although the Watermelon crawl was so good! Very subtle and fruity. Although this location was veryyyy hard to find and there was no instructions listed how to distinguish the store front. We eventually found it and the interior was very nice, clean and modern. Lots of space for lounging.

First time trying bourbon and it was a very good experience at Yellow Rose. My party and I were able to do the distillery tour and we found it to be super informative. The staff was very welcoming and very well informed on their drink menu as well as the product as a whole. Ambiance was nice and calm. I really wish I remembered our tour guys name, he was great!!

Great experience. Tour was interesting and insightful. Got to see the whole process from start to finish. Tasting room is nice also. Highly recommend the tour. Or just to stop by and have a cocktail.

Awesome tour! So insightful and entertaining! Taylor was our guide. She was knowledgeable and friendly. What a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Our tour was about 45 minutes which starts on the hour, every hour until 7pm. It was 5 bourbons... you really start to feel it after your third. Mmm so tasty! This place is great for groups too! We would definitely return!

Houston's Oldest "Legal Distillery, Yellow Rose Distilling is a unique spot to visit either for a tour of the facilities ($10 ea.) or for a quick bite and a social in the comfortable Tap Room. I have bee Sri go g Yellow Rose Outlaw Bourbon and American Whiskey for years and often thought to visit their distillery. Then me and my son had a free Saturday together and thought "let's do it!" The tour is well worth the money. Jason the guide did a great job explaining the process of making whiskey and bourbon and it's cool to see the still equipment and stacks of barrels. The Tap Room offers quick bites to eat and hand crafted cocktails to drink. TRY THE MANHATTAN! Finishing of the visit you can sober up outside with a game of corn hole ans then purchase a to go bottle or t-shirt at the gift shop.

Great Central Houston distillery! The Yellow Rose distillery is a great visit, tour and tasting. You begin with the check in where you can buy a cocktail or pour of their product before the tour. Then you head to the attached warehouse for a very brief, yet informative tour before moving to the tasting. On our tour with 12 participants, we tasted four different tastes: Premium American Whiskey, Outlaw Bourbon, Rye Whiskey and Premium Bourbon #2. When the tour was over we lingered and helped the guide "finish" the pours that were not consumed (untouched, not leftovers). We then went back to the welcome area for another drink before heading out. Total time was just over an hour and would have been shorter if we hadn't hung around for the post-tour drink. Give them a try. Support local and have fun.

Billboard worked. Saw a sign in Dallas and decided when in Houston, I would check it out. This was a smaller distillery, but very very nice. Staff was amazing and informative and the spirits were delicious. I was able to sit sip and watch football most of the day. I actually took a bottle home with me the Outlaw really good.

I toured this distillery with some friends for something different, yet safe to do during these covid times. We arrived to check in at 2:45pm as prompted for our 3pm tour. However the tour didn't start until 3:10pm. It was extremely hot outside where we checked in & waited. So I asked if we were able to wait inside as not many people were inside besides the staff. That's when the tour began. Inside the distillery, we learned about where the name originated from, the story of the founders, and what the bourbon was made from as well as a few rules to what's considered a bourbon. We got to taste some of their bourbons as well. Most were pretty smooth & all were definitely strong. To the point it was too hot for me to keep drinking and standing in that dry heat. So I went to sit down in my ac after the final tasting. It's not too much to see but it was interesting learning about the history and science of it. Definitely an affordable activity to do with anyone, especially if you get the Groupon. Their cocktails looks really fruity and delicious. They also serve some bites as well.

When on vacation we tour the local distillery's. We enjoyed every moment on our visit and tour. The old fashions are to die for. The staff was so helpful, knowledgeable and kind. We bought all the goodies that we could to bring back home in Louisiana. Definitely a must tour destination.

Tastes Like Freedom.  Which basically means apple pie.  Apple Pie = freedom.  It's in the Constitution.  And the Bible.  Look it up.

This is the go-to for a quick drink and tour. It isn't a large operation. And they have maple syrup. That's important, because maple syrup is great. Just accept it. My first journey here was during the Yelp elite event. It was packed to the gills, but that worked in my favor. Many of the folks were turnt up before they used all of their tickets, and gave their extras to me. No argument here. This visit, there was nobody when I parked. Empty as a graveyard. Then a huge tour boss parked in front of me and dumped a crap load of people on a booze tour. Literally filled the place up for 30 minutes, then they were off to the next oasis leaving me and my tiny group of happy hour hunters in peace. Kinda cool though. I'll have to take a gander at the bus tour. The distillery tour is a nice quick run through the facility. It won't take an hour. So you can get to the the refreshments faster. The bar has a good happy hour. $5 everything. I had Tastes like Freedom, and White Velvet. The first was good. The second was also good but really sweet. I'm not big into the sweet drinks. They can make whatever you want with whiskey, but they also have other liquors as well. The staff is super cool and attentive. It's a small operation, so if it's a heavy customer day, I could see it getting a little slow. I liked weekdays on the early side. I'll be back to visit.

At the tour.

For a tiny distillery, this place was a lot of fun. We went there early around 10/11 am which makes us either raging alcoholics or fun adventuresome people. I prefer to think I'm the adventurous type. I did enjoy all the drinks and liked that we were able to get seconds and thirds of samples. The place is clean, including the ladies room, and the staff is friendly. They have this neat gift shop and even sell maple syrup that uses one of their drinks as an ingredient. While waiting for the tour there are some huge jenga pieces, but you do need to come with a group, otherwise, you'll feel sad, lonely, and awkward. The negatives are that there isn't much in the way of food, but they did have a food truck on site. I would advise calling in advance to make sure that's available. Yeah, there's a little restaurant across the street, but why make things difficult? Also, because of the location you will pass this a few times, thinking Google lied to you as you case the area and practice your not so sneaky detective skills. It's there, I promise, it's just so bland of a location you can and will miss it among all the professional buildings. This is a great place for people who like alcohol tasting and breweries, but think most beer is gross.

It's worth it! Take advantage now don't do it in the summer. It's something different and doesn't take much of your time it's a small distillery.

One tasted like mint cough syrup, another like cheap jello, and a third resembled a beet smoothie. Out of six drinks, we couldn't finish four. We weren't alone... three other couples left early, their half-finished drinks untouched, suggesting they were just as underwhelmed. The seating was uncomfortable (especially the cramped two-person bench), and while the service was passable, no effort was made to address our concerns. Instead of welcoming constructive feedback, the manager responded with condescension, dismissing our comments by saying the "experience" wasn't for everyone--implying we lacked taste rather than acknowledging the clear missteps. There are plenty of elevated cocktail experiences worth your time and money. Sadly, Navi isn't one of them.

Giorgio's is one of two restaurants located in the beautiful Hotel Granduca across from Uptown Park. This is a very nice and upscale property with both valet and self parking available. When I made the reservation I initially chose inside dining but after arriving we decided to take advantage of their offer to sit outside to take advantage of their lovely patio by the pool and the very pleasant outdoor temperature that evening after a nice rain. We were seated near the door where the pianist was playing nice music inside that allowed us to enjoy it. Giorgio's HRW 3 course dinner this year was $39 and I ordered the Burrata Panzanella Salad as my first course followed by Cavatelli Bolognese for the second finishing with the Flourless Chocolate Cake for the third. While waiting we were brought some bread along with trays of peanuts, potato chips and popcorn which was a little unusual but no one complained about free food. I must say that all of my 3 courses were excellent tasting. The Burrata salad had a large serving of the above named cheese with fresh tomatoes, olives and ciabatta bread that was cool in temperature and I could have eaten another serving because it was so good. The pasta bolognese was equally delicious except warm in temperature with the Akaushi beef making a delicious bolognese sauce over the cavatelli. Finally the cake was fresh and full of chocolate flavor with berries and Nutella alongside a scoop of rich vanilla ice cream. This was a perfect finish for what was a fine meal. The outdoor setting was also perfect and one that I wouldn't hesitate to repeat. So why do I only give 4 stars? For some reason not understood by anyone in our party was the fact that this entire experience took us 3 hours from being seated to paying the checks for our 3 course dinners. They didn't appear to be too busy that night so I'm not sure why it took so long. Our group did enjoy our time together and filled it with good conversation but still this dinner should have taken at least 1 hour less. Talking about a slow relaxed pace for dinner....this was a little too slow. I would still be happy to return.

There is some street parking out front which can be hit or miss depending on what time you visit. You can also utilize the neighboring SkyHouse valet for $10 per their website.

I wasn't sure what to expect based on the name of the restaurant, but essentially their seafood options are spectacular. And it feels like an exclusive club because the decor and service are both very much high class and special. We tried the coconut shrimp as the appetizer and really liked it. It was lightly fried and the shrimp was cooked to perfection - not under and not over. I would highly recommend this one to start. Loved it. If you're looking for a fair-priced meal, they have lots of salad and sandwich options. I tried the salmon poke bowl and it was so delicious. The fish was extremely fresh, and all the flavors blended together really well. It was like a healthy party in my mouth. It was great decision. You wanna splurge a bit and live large like YOLO? You gotta get the crab cake. Now, how good can a crab cake be? Well, if you're paying close to $50 for one crab cake, you better believe it's gonna be freaking awesome. And alas, it was. Best crab cake I've ever had in my life, no joke. And I've tried a lot of crab cakes in my many decades of dining out. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant and will be coming back many times. Enjoy! Quick note on parking - plenty of parking in a huge lot shared by many businesses such as Kenny and Ziggy's. Only annoying part is several sections of the lot are designated for specific businesses, so just look for the signs and be willing to park a little bit further away towards Taco Deli and Bluestone.
