Recently joined a group for a bout tour in the bayou with Buffalo Bayou Partnership. We had a great time. They let us bring wine and cheese aboard which was a great touch to the evening. I appreciate the work they do trying to keep the bayou clean. Tip: they have free parking spots. It's a little hard to find but they're there. read more

Good place but they have a complete no-refunds policy. Would be nice if they were just a bit more understanding when life decides to get in the way. read more

Great venue for small groups of less than 100. Overlooking the Buffalo Bayou right at the old port, next to Spaghetti Warehouse where there was plenty of parking on a Gorgeous Sunday afternoon, The BBP is Easy to access for the YELP 2018 Photo Suarez. Fabulously friendly Farrah was there as hostess, and I had no problem filling up with my favorite carbonated beverage, East Ciders. Only a couple of issues. The BBP has a rooftop and ground floor. I think the roof is 4th floor, and there is an elevator. Care should be taken not to set up a food line that blocks the entry of both the stairway and elevator. Second, the BBP needs to provide a few pub tables for those without three hands. With only one hand to hold my drink, and another to hold my plate, I was glad to find horizontal surfaces in the window sill to hold my Cider. read more

Very cool spot for events and catering. Rebecca gave me a tour around the property and it was awesome to hear more about what they offer and such. She was friendly and personable, had a great conversation. Their rooftop view is spectacular as well as the open area/park surrounding the building. read more

Keep Houston beautiful. ...And you can start by supporting Buffalo Bayou Partnership. I've worked with this non-profit organization over the past year or so, either volunteering at their annual Planting on the Parkway and other community events, spreading the word about their young professionals group, Bayou Buddies, and most recently, I finally decided to become a member ($50 a year, but if you purchase during one of their events, you could probably get it for $40). Buffalo Bayou Partnership was created in '86 and is responsible for developing and facilitating improvements to the Bayou's greenway system. They raise funds for improvements, purchases of additional land (East End Park Lands where Planting On The Parkway has taken place) and recruit volunteers for cleanups. And you know all those family-fun activities that happen year-round on on the Bayou? Foodie Floats boat tours, Buffalo Bayou Regatta, history hikes, Trash Bash, Nights On Blue Bayou ... are all because of Buffalo Bayou Partnership, their volunteers and affiliates. Consider this Bayou City Gal thankful for the Partnership that keeps our greenway looking absolutely stunning in the foreground of the city's towering skyline. read more

Yay I finally got to enjoy my first ELITE event and it was fab! The Bayou office is so cool and I nabbed front row parking by being 30 mins early. I enjoyed some tasty deviled eggs and eggrolls by TBD and then made a beeline to the Deep Eddy vodka bar and the grapefruit flavor was awesome with the grapefruit Jarritos mixed in! Samsung had a cool DIY photo setup, the DJ was bumpin and the photo exhibit from all my fellow yelpers was really fun to see. Nothing bundt cakes was a truly perfect dessert bite, but wait there's more! I got there just in time to hop up the elevator and sample "Twisted Turban" with their indi-mexi-fusioj shredded beef nachos, delicious spicy sauces and chiken naan bites. Saint Arnolds brewery hooked me up with some free drink passes for their brewery and Austin Ciders had a plethora of drinks to choose from. Last but not least I certainly enjoyed several wagyu beef meatballs before I left! Thank you for the awesome swag too! I plan to use my cool selfie spotlight for my next youtube tutorial - I loveee the yelp logo mints but that tin is hard to open lol! Can't wait for the next event. Happy New Year yelpers. read more

Came to the Yelp elite event this past weekend, and was thoroughly impressed with the venue. The view from all 3 levels were so beautiful. More importantly, the space, (bathrooms), were very clean. There was ample space, with seating on the 3rd level overlooking the bayou. The building and interior are sleek and modern, and in a great location in downtown Houston. Would love to go back for future events. read more

This is one of my favorite organizations in town. They put on some of the best programs. But more than that they are beautifying one of Houston's greatest assets, the Bayou! There has been so much positive impacts due to this organization to make the area along the Bayou not only bearable, but amazing. I remember growing up many parts of the bayou was downright UGLY. read more

Wow this was a very pretty place to hold an event .. 3 levels with the first level having outdoor space and the third level being a rooftop deck .. had a wonderful time . Would definitely consider holding an event there read more

I love paddling on the Bayou, however I am very disappointed in the lack of awareness the tour boat drivers seem to have when sharing the water with canoe and kayakers. They drive around turns at high speeds and do not slow down when passing us, creating huge wakes that could easily put us in the water. The reckless driving seems to occur when it is just them in the boat, so I assume they are going to pick up a tour or heading back to drop the boat off. The Buffalo Bayou Partnership works so hard to encourage people to enjoy this Bayou, it is a shame that a dangerous deterrent to using it is their employees. read more

I've been able to reap the benefits of this wonderful nonprofit each time I go for a run along Buffalo Bayou. I love the improvements to the bike and running trails and the bridges they have installed along the path. I've never had the change to ride my bike, but from the looks of amusement and whimsy on the other bikers faces, it looks like it would be a pretty fun ride. Kudos to the Buffalo Bayou Partnership in their efforts to make Buffalo Bayou park an attractive destination. read more

The 45th Regatta was great! Good turn out, great booth and music. The rain stayed away for the most part. I have really enjoyed working with the buffalo bayou partnership read more

Buffalo Bayou annually puts on the Buffalo Bayou Regatta. It was yesterday, and despite threatening weather, and eventual rain, it was so much fun! Lots of people participated in paddling -- every size, shape, color -- you name it. Some of the kayaks & canoes were decorated, as well as some costumed paddlers, which made it all that much more fun. There was a live band playing, booths for various organizations, a free rock-climbing wall, free face painting, a food truck, beer -- on and on. What a fun event! BBP has done and is doing such outstanding work along Buffalo Bayou. come take a look, or better yet, support the organization and join! read more

Went on the Buffalo Bayou Partnerships's 2012 Christmas Cruise and found it quite enjoyable. Be warned, the only thing seasonal about it was the Christmas lights draping the pontoon. But if you are interested in some quick tidbits of Houston's history then this is a great bargain. The ride was just over 30 minutes and costs $7 per person. Can't wait to take another one of these tours! read more
