Donna's is my favorite bar in the Heights! The vibes here are immaculate. The retro 70's like…read moreinterior, bangin funk music and other cool jams on the vinyl, and the well crafted cocktails to match make this worth all the hype. Weekends definitely get busy here, but the energy is nonstop. The bartenders handle the crowd with ease and make great drink recommendations. If you're looking for something more chill, I'd still recommend coming here on a weekday during the day too. Drink wise I really liked their Good Will which was like a miso banana old fashioned. I also asked to make me something off menu, and I had a riff on a Bee's Knees. 10/10 recommend Donna's! The only small downside here is parking, but honestly parking is never the best in the Heights. If you come early enough, they do have a couple parking spots in front, otherwise it's street parking. But don't let this stop you from enjoying Donna's, it's worth it! Cheers!

We waited until the hype died down before checking out Donna's. The atmosphere lived up to the…read moretrendy, nostalgic vibes with vinyl records and moody lighting. Unfortunately, the experience left us wanting more. Donna's was packed when we arrived, so we waited by the bar before finding a couple of open seats. A server was quick to come by and take our drink order, but the wait for our drinks took even longer than it would've been to simply order directly from the bar. That really threw off the pacing of the night and made it impossible to settle into the experience. The drink menu also felt limited and wasn't as enticing given its connection to sister bar Anvil. Perhaps, this recent drink rotation didn't hit the mark, but Second Wind, East of Nowhere, Scenic Route, Moda Velha all felt underwhelming. That being said, the next menu rotation could be a hit and we'd be willing to give Donna a revisit.

Loved it! This…read morecharming bar is located on Washington St. And the have valet (you just tip the staff member), the parking space is limited but you can also park behind and access through the back. The vibe is chill but classy, you can talk without the need to yell to be heard. Dimmed lights, cozy and intimate atmosphere, what's not to like?! They have bites and entrees, but I went for bites, the Margarita Pizza was delightful, thin crispy crust with fresh mozzarella cheese. Also got the baked Brie, I love Brie and it didn't disappoint, I just wished the bagged was toasted instead soft. I ordered a drink... PornStar Martini, and I really liked it, it was refreshing and slightly sweet. Our server was very attentive and helpful with the menu, her name.. Hope, she will make sure you had a great experience. Definitely coming back!

When I got in, you're delighted by a cool cozy atmosphere that just has a good vibe! The music had a great feel good kinda swag to it, and you just immediately are relaxed! As I walked over to my friend to say hello, bartender Jonathan greeted me with a great big smile!! He talked to us about what was on the HH and regular menus and off we were! We ordered the old fashioned, and Jonathan put such love into every drink he made throughout the evening!! It was an absolutely delicious beverage! We headed over to a corner table to get seated and wait for our party none by one they trickled in, and we had such a wonderful time! This place does not have food, however, you can order Uber Eats here, or there's tons of restaurants nearby you can grab food and bring in. Loved everything this place had to offer. As the rest of staff came in, they all checked on us throughout the evening and what more can you ask for!! We will definitely be back!!

It is a very fancy place to get drinks and it has a nice ambience, but the only caveat is that it…read moreis connected to a hotel. I went because this was the only bar open during Labor Day when I had guest visiting. So I would say it's a pretty nice location, considering the fact that it is always consistently open. They had a good menu with different cocktails that were fun and fruity. Otherwise, I did also see people could order coffee at the bar and have different espresso drinks. It looks like the drink that I ordered is also no longer on the menu. The bar prides itself on having a rotating meal changing menu so I think that's a lot of fun when it comes to trying new drinks and new combinations and it truly shows the artistry of the bartender. There was the option of both indoor and outdoor seating. The interior was more of a dimmer, elegant and darker tone. I can see it being pretty classic if you were to go at night time. The bar set up was really beautiful and they had different 2 to 4 seating wooden tables. Overall, the inside would probably only fit around 20 people. I was very sad because we couldn't sit outside. The day before it had rained so every outdoor seating was wet. But I was told that they had a beautiful seating outside with a garden and a pool. Service was good. The bartender came out of the bar to take orders, give menus and give you the check. I will say that it got really busy at the end and it took a while to get our check. There's only one or two bartenders working at one time so if there's multiple people with different drinks that are ordered, it will take a little bit longer. There is both valet parking and also street parking in the neighborhood nearby.

On a Friday evening, as the last stop of the evening, we walked over to Bar No. 3 for a nightcap…read more Located inside the Colombe d'Or Hotel in Montrose, Bar No. 3 is their hotel bar. Not hard to find, it's located to the right as you walk in. What brought us here is that it's listed as one of the top 50 bars in Houston in Houstonia Magazine. Service (3/5): While we had a waitress, she was slow to greet us and slow to check up on us. It's a small bar and there isn't a ton of seating so it's not like she was overwhelmed. For a fancy hotel, you expect better. Maybe sitting at the bar is better than sitting at some seats as we did. Ambiance (4/5): The Colombe d'Or is a beautiful hotel and Bar No. 3 reflects that. It's an elegant spot to grab a drink, although small. Food (N/A): While there are expensive items on the menu, I had dinner earlier that night so I was on a liquid diet. Drinks (3/5): Bar No. 3 is known for its cocktails so I focused on the cocktail list. The list isn't large but it features a nice selection. Like the food, you're going to pay a premium. I enjoyed my adult beverage but felt like it was a bit overpriced. Hitting up hotel bars isn't a common occurrence in Houston unless you're a traveler. For Bar No. 3 to be the only hotel bar on Houstonia's top 50 is a feat in itself.

Walking in, you're basically transported into an adorable slice of paradise. Pathos plants adorn the bar area where you'll find a a tiki hut inspired ordering spot. There's eclectic artwork on the walls ranging from interesting portraits to beachy waves. The menu is filled with well balanced drinks with tropical themed names but they're not all rum drinks. They have a variety of drinks plus food as well. I ordered a Day-O Old Fashioned which was strong but incredibly well balanced, great to sip on while having enjoying the vibes. The gender neutral bathrooms are quite spacious, really clean, and actually something to make note of. The staff was friendly and they were knowledgeable of their craft. I will love to return to try more, there's so much on the menu to taste.

We started off with a round of cocktails and a round of shots. The drinks were pretty good and I liked that they had some interesting flavor combinations. The lower rating is due to our server and the price. Price wise, the cocktails were a little up there but it was probably the shots that sent the bill skyrocketing (so honestly kind of our bad). I didn't catch our server's name, but he seemed to have a little 'tude about him as we asked questions or asked him to take our picture. A few remarks also felt a bit condescending.

Upon arrival they pointed me to the bar for sitting and brought me water but after that I kept waiting and no one came to get my drink order or describe the different drink options they have other than what was on the menu. So after a few minutes I left the place. I know I had gone around 10 pmish after the food service was over so maybe I will try to give it another shot at an earlier time to see if the service is any better than their late night drink service.
