    Rooftop seating
    Lauren S.

    Went here when I was looking for a nearby rooftop bar! I will say the website and online was a little misleading because the happy hour is only for the inside part, and not for the outdoor rooftop. The drinks were a bit pricey due to the fact you are mainly paying for the view and the ambiance. They do have a lot of casual seating areas which I appreciated. I went here around 5pm on a Monday and you ordered at the outdoor bar and then could sit anywhere you want. If you are in the area and looking for a rooftop with good views, I would certainly go. I do think there are other better rooftops around though so maybe check those out if you want a little more bang for your buck.

    This place was recommended to me so I went to check it out. It's really hotel with a roof top bar with only paid seating. I wanted to just go check it out and have one drink but had to stand in line at the bar forever to get a drink as the bartenders were super slow and kept serving others before me. Then there were quite a bit of people up there that did not pay for a seat so it was a little bit crowded. The best part was the views and that's the draw to this place. I love the city at night. Now if you don't mind being in 50 peoples IG and Tic Toc post because it's so crowded and you like the view then by all means you can try this place. For me there are other places that are more comfortable and service is better that I would go to for a night view of the city.

    My hubby decided to check out the Z on 23 Rooftop Bar while staying at Le Meridien, and we had a nice time! The vibe was very relaxing on a weekend and the views were great. There's not too much seating, as a lot of it is reserved however the drinks and service were both good. Would recommend to others as their first stop for downtown drinks!

    The rooftop wasn't as spectacular as some of the photos made it seem. This could be that Houston itself really doesn't have much a skyline. But, they didn't have some drinks available like an espresso martini. If you want a table / have a bigger group, this may not be the best place to take them. In order to have a table, you needed to fulfill a 200$ minimum. Drinks were decently priced but it didn't taste like anything beyond just sweet.

    The view from the rooftop is absolutely beautiful! I went to a happy hour event at this location and cannot recommend it enough. You need to get there early if you want to have a place to sit. There are several sitting areas but it's a busy place, as it should be! The drinks were upscale and tasty. Be prepared to spend about $15 per drink. I tasted the meatballs and the flatbread and they were both yummy. I'm not sure how parking is as I walked from my building so I would check that out beforehand. 10/10 recommend.

    Views are just beautiful

    Amazing Drinks and Awesome staff. I went on a Thursday and was told live music is on the way in the month of may. I cant wait. The night i went there were 3 underage girls trying to get drinks with fake IDs they were politely asked to leave and refused to leave. And the manager ended up coming to speak to them and asked them to leave after trying to give fake IDs. They were not happy but I'm glad this establishment is a 21 and up and they are responsible. Come Check them out!!!!

    Nice rooftop bar on top floor of hotel. There's a mix of high top tables & couch seating. The drink menu isn't extensive, but I think there are options for people who like sweet & fruity as well as those that prefer something that packs more of a punch. It would nice to have drink ingredients/descriptions included on the menu. Drinks were a bit pricey, but I think that is standard for hotel bars. On the Saturday afternoon that I was there, only saw one waitress. She was doing her best, but definitely could've used some help. The bartender was not the most friendly so I only had one cocktail. The view was nice, I imagine it would be better at night. Overall it was a nice experience.

    Old fashion on the rooftop

    Z on the rooftop provides a nice change of pace and scenery rarely provided in cities such as Houston. It gives you beautiful views of downtown Houston while having a nice cocktail or daiquiri. The service was good and the staff was polite. There weren't a lot of people when I went and it was really nice. I only had cocktails but the drinks were good and view was beautiful. I would definitely come back when I'm in the Houston area and would recommend for anyone having a date night or just looking for a nice spot to have a happy hour drink.

    The ambiance was DOPE....you have downtown skyscrapers to view and the DJ was on point, plenty of good seating too. Didn't get any food, but the bartenders were on it the nite we went (fri evening) and the drinks were strong and reasonably priced! I hate a weak drink with a high pricetag. Its a cool spot to start , have or end your evening on a date/friends or solo...we lucked out on parking right in front for free. I will def be back.

All were great but I especially loved the carrots which were cooked and seasoned perfectly. For my main course I had the chicken and dumplings, husband got the NY strip, our friends shared the whole fish and we had the cabbage and crab rice as sides. Everyone was very happy with both their main courses and the side dishes. We were too stuffed to order dessert but they sent out a s'mores inspired sunday for my birthday which was both thoughtful and sublime. Overall we were very impressed with our meal. Food was delicious but veeeery indulgent. We will be back.
