Soft life, sweet treats, and a little mystery is exactly how a girls' night should feel. The ultimate girls night out in Houston is a Case Chocolates. Every Wednesday, they host a midweek indulgence for the ladies: complimentary champagne, signature chocolate, and curated sounds inside this one-of-a-kind chocolate speakeasy. Come for the immersive chocolate experience. Stay for the seductive, late-night vibes. If you're in Houston and looking for a cute girls night out, unique date night, or a speakeasy experience, add this to your bucket list immediately. It's intimate, indulgent, and just different enough to make your night feel special. Now there are levels to this elevated experience. Here's the simplest breakdown according to their mixologist Tim: 1. Opening Hour: 2 infused chocolates, 1 chocolate medallion, a mixed drink, and a welcome spritz 2. Guided Tasting: 3 courses of drinks and chocolates 3. The Journey: 5 courses of drinks, chocolates, and other bites. Come hungry! You're encouraged to book a reservation through their website. But since we went on Wednesday for the ladies night, we were able to just go right in. I'm doing chemo so I can't drink or have the alcohol infused chocolate but I still had a great time. Sober folks can also enjoy this place. I got a cherry mocktail and it was the best mocktail I ever drank. They had two chocolate bon bons that weren't infused with alcohol and then all of the flat medallions are also not infused. They were sweet enough to send me home with some alcohol infused chocolates to have once I finish my chemo. We got there around 7 and didn't leave until the place was closing down. The DJ was amazing and she made the atmosphere feel more like a Saturday night. read more

To start, when you arrive, you will ring the doorbell for them to come let you in, which I guess considering the space makes sense. The store front is very tiny, it could fit maybe 6 people fairly comfortably. They do have a speak easy space for their tastings, which is an interesting concept, which I'll touch on later. Effectively, they have different unique shapes of chocolate that are liquid filled with alcoholic and non-alcoholic liqueurs. Think licor 43, gin, bourbon, whiskey, tequila, etc. The chocolates themselves are good, there wasn't any that I disliked and I'd say the carajillo was one of my favorites. All that said, I think this can be hit or miss with some folks. I like them, whereas I can see how it has a bit of a flash in the pan type taste. It hits fast and then, that's it.Personally, I can get past that probably and could easily eat 10 in rapid fashion. Where this place loses my attention and where I struggle is the pricing. Value is always subjective and I'm sure some will find these to be well worth their price. For reference, I think it's 4 for $22, 8 for $34, when I recently visited. I just didn't find them to be worth that pricing model, particularly when there are other brands that you can get at a lower price and similar fillings. At the end of the day, I think this is worth it for an experience or date, particularly if you're going to go in for the tasting. Think, wine and cheese, in this case, cocktails and chocolates. It's $65 a person for the experience. Overall, I'm glad to see a boutique shop like this that's locally owned by a young, ambitious entrepreneur. My two cents, price lower and there is likely a higher amount of return customers for the chocolates, but I'll save you, the reader, the take on an entire business model diatribe here. read more

Came to this hidden speakeasy for an intimate birthday celebration and this is the PERFECT date night or girls night spot. It's a speakeasy located behind a chocolate shop that serves drinks and chocolates! It's a very intimate room, dimly lit, with r&b playing all night long. We went on a Friday night (around 11PM) and there was about 10 people there (including our party of 4). All the servers are extremely knowledgable and super kind. You can even see the owner there working and contributing to the vibes. Their cocktails are about $16 so very standard pricing and the chocolates come with a drink. The drinks were tasty, even the Old Fashioned (probably the best one I've ever had). Plus they close even later than described with "no official close time". As our server described, "they close when the vibes die off ... typically around 1AM". So I'll definitely be back and you should definitely check them out. It's also close by to Houston high society, neighbors, and eighth row flint which are all amazing bars with perks of their own so it would be great for even a bar hopping date night. read more

Very unique date night idea! The staff was friendly. Speakeasy vibes and creative cocktails to pair with their chocolates. A little pricy but we enjoyed the full experience! read more

Okay, this place is perfect for a date night or a girls' night. I went with one of my girlfriends and we were literally the only non-couple there but honestly, it still worked. The vibe is very intentional and intimate. I originally booked a guided tasting on a weekday, but due to a booking error on OpenTable, the owner personally reached out to apologize and asked if we could reschedule. He was very polite and genuinely apologetic, so I wasn't too bummed about it. We Ubered to CASE on a Saturday night to avoid parking issues. There isn't much easy parking nearby, so I'd recommend doing the same. Since it's a speakeasy, when you arrive you wait behind a bookshelf. It does get a little cramped with everyone waiting for their seating assignments, but we were too excited to care. Before being seated, the host asks whether you prefer sweet or smoky- answer carefully because that choice determines the flavor profile of both your drinks and chocolates throughout the experience. Once seated, you're brought into a dimly lit room that really sets the mood. The gentleman guiding us through the courses spoke in a low, calm tone that perfectly matched the energy of the space. Some courses included plated elements beyond just chocolate, and those were fantastic. Most of the chocolates are filled with liquid, so make sure to eat them in one bite. They warn you for the first one, but honestly, keep that in mind for all of them. When we received the check, it was incorrect. The waitstaff quickly fixed it, but then it was wrong again. By the third attempt, I didn't fully review it because I was enjoying the vibe and was honestly over it, so I paid. That said, the total was definitely higher than what's displayed on OpenTable- more than just taxes, so be prepared for that. read more

I arrived at case chocolates with a party of 12 in total. We had made a reservation for the chocolate tasting at 10pm and they were able to seat us until 1045pm. The restaurant has a tiny front area for check in, and then the restaurant seating is behind a hidden bookshelf. So, when waiting, we had to wait outside on the curb because there were already two people in the chairs waiting inside. Case has an interesting concept where they pair their cocktails with two liquor filled chocolates. I was initially very excited but waiting on the curb for 45 minutes kind of ruined the vibe. They did provide each of us with a free drink once we got seated to compensate us for waiting, but then we didn't even get offered the tasting experience we booked for! Then it was just us ordering drink by drink. The drinks were good but I found the chocolates completely unnecessary. I would've rather had a nice cocktail with a nice bonbon rather than a bonbon stuffed with liquor. I might've felt differently if I'd have gotten the full experience we booked for without waiting at all, but I will say I probably will never come back and I wouldn't recommend you go either. read more

Love the concept, and the drinks were excellent! The atmosphere was enjoyable, and we had a great time overall. The only downside was that the service was a bit slow during our visit. I also felt the prices were higher than what the experience and offerings justified. Despite that, it was still a fun spot to check out. read more

As CASE offers a very unique opportunity, I've visited for both a date night and also hosted a small company networking event here. The room is capped at 20 people, so reservations are a must. I love the speakeasy vibes and the very elegant aesthetic once behind the bookshelves. I also suggest getting there early so you're not sitting by the large door (you'll have to move a few times during the experience if so). During the experience, you're given a welcome cocktail with a bit of snack mix, the opportunity to choose the next two rounds (between two cocktails) and then the experience finishes with a dessert wine option. I like that one of the owners speaks to the pairings and creation of the chocolate/cocktail combination as well so there is a bit of learning involved. The drinks are strong and even stronger when paired with the alcohol chocolates so I would highly suggest ubering. While not all of the cocktails or chocolates were my absolute favorite, I enjoyed the ambiance, the kind staff and the overall experience! I would go back for the next time they change the menu - a fun experience! read more

My friend that this would be a great place to try after dinner for "She-Time." I have to admit I was a little skeptical while driving, as I've never been to this part of Houston. I'm glad I decided to "Trust the Process." When I arrived I drove around for parking and later decided to valet at a restaurant close by for $10 (they close at midnight just FYI). When you walk in the area is small and you see a book shelf, then she opens it to let you walk into the speakeasy. It's small, so make sure to make reservations. They were doing the tastings where you get to learn about the history of the business and the chocolate, all while sampling curated cocktails and its chocolate companions. You can also just order separate drinks from the menu. Each drink is paired with two chocolates. Prices are reasonable and it wasn't too noisy, so we were able to sit and have great conversation with one another. Also, our waitress was cool as hell. Enter freely, they've been approved read more

I learned about this place through IG. I've been to the store front a few times and sampled the chocolates, which were all delicious! Imagine my excitement when I found out a friend made reservations for our birthday. We walked in, were instantly greeted and walked to our table. The ambiance was great: the lighting, the bar, the chairs, all of us. We then received a drink to clear our palette between drinks, some table snacks and chocolates. Then it was time to taste! We chose our drinks and the fun began. The chocolates were so good and the drinks were just as delicious. My favorite was the dessert wine at the end. I can't wait to go back. Definitely recommend to locals and tourists. read more

We came to CASE in October for my partner's birthday. We went on a Thursday evening and it was absolutely empty except for us which was SO cool. We loved the quiet intimate vibe. We got such great 1:1 time with the owner who took us through each drink and chocolate/tasting. I don't want to spoil it for everyone, so I just shared one photo. But we highly recommend the sweet journey! We will definitely be back to try all the other journeys/menus! read more

Welcome to the Case Club, I was invited to a private tasting at Case Chocolates last night. I was so excited to try out the new menu they have for this season as I have grown to enjoy the experience. This upcoming season will include a new concept of bringing the experience option to the weekends and opening throughout the week in a speakeasy type setting. So no need to make a reservation you will be able to come in and get a nice cocktail and chocolate pairing without having to sit for the entire 2 hour production. I like that as some people may not have the time available or don't want to commit to that during the weeknights. At this time I don't have prices to shares but the experience over all is $69 per person. read more

We finally came here for the tasting! When you first arrive, you need to wait at the front until it is time. Then they open the wall to let people in. There are three drinks and several chocolates that go well with the drinks. An extra cup for water and an extra drink for palate cleansing. However. Please be patience and wait for the manager to provide content regarding the history, value, and interesting to know facts. And what order to eat them!!! Case is known for their liquid filled chocolates. You cannot bite half and give the other half to someone. The filling will spill out. The chocolates are amazing well made and you can taste the "casing" within the chocolate that holds the liquid. It's a really nice crunchy texture coated by a creamy chocolate. They do not have mocktails. But they do have non alcoholic chocolates which are also very amazing. The service was great and on point. The decor really sets a speakeasy mood and it is easy to hear each other at your table. Parking is valet or free street parking. read more

They have a fascinating selection of chocolates filled with unique flavors and liquors. The pieces are absolutely delectable. They would make a great gift or special treat for home. The staff are impressively knowledgeable about the products and pairings. The setting is dark and mysterious (except the "speakeasy" is actually pretty loud and apparent from the front of the house, despite the secret bookshelf door.) Still, I look forward to coming back for the cocktail/chocolate pairing sessions. read more

One of a kind experience, such an exclusive sensual atmosphere. I sat at the bar and had an extraordinary time trying the different drinks and sweets. Not a huge chocolate fan but still thoroughly enjoyed learning while indulging. Great service from start to finish read more

CASE Chocolates - Speakeasies Near Me - Houston, Texas

I recently celebrated a friend's birthday at Case Chocolates, a unique speakeasy in Houston's Second Ward. Entering through an unassuming door felt like stepping into a real-life Honeydukes--a dream come true for this Harry Potter fan. I arrived at 8:00 PM for our 8:15 PM reservation but found the door unattended and my calls unanswered, leading to an unnerving 10-minute wait on the sidewalk. However, once inside, the host more than made up for it by offering delightful samples of Bananas Foster and Mango Chamoy chocolates--amazing teasers for the three courses to come! Before our tasting officially began, we were given a refreshing palate-cleansing drink, which set the stage for the decadent experience ahead. The intimate, dimly lit setting was perfect for our group. Our host guided us through a three-course chocolate journey, each paired with a boozy selection ranging from mezcal to vodka to cognac. The chocolatier was incredibly informative, breaking down the origins of each chocolate and explaining how its environment--soil, climate, and processing--impacted the flavor and aroma. Formerly, I taught high school World History & Geography, so it was fascinating to learn how much geography plays a role in what we tasted! At the start of our courses, we were given the signature "Wizard" chocolates--red, blue, and gold "galleons"--and instructed to share them amongst ourselves. There were notes of hazelwood, almonds, cedar and sandalwood! Tell me that isn't Wizarding World wandlore coded! Each chocolate was rich, decadent, and perfectly balanced with the complementary cocktail pairings. Every single selection on the menu was a favorite at our table! At $87 per person (including tax & gratuity), the experience was well worth it. However, our waiter could have been more attentive with small details like replenishing water and providing straws, which make a difference in such an intimate setting. Standout moments: Even though I was early to the venue, our party of ten arrived at different times, with more than half running late. Despite this, the staff graciously accommodated us without any issues, ensuring our experience was seamless and enjoyable. This sort of top-notch customer service is GREATLY appreciated! To top it off, the chocolatier was incredibly kind, taking the time to capture group photos for us, making the evening even more memorable. Just a heads-up: don't arrive hungry, as the focus is on chocolate and cocktails. Also, the restrooms are a bit of a walk from the main area, so be mindful of how many crafted cocktails you order (I'm not sure if you can order extra, in addition to the three-course pairings). All in all, Case Chocolates offers a unique and magical experience that's perfect for special occasions. Plus, there's an overwhelming number of chocolate options you can take home with you--enough to make Mrs. Trunchbull jealous! read more

This is a really nice cocktail experience. I have a hard time calling this a speakeasy since it is a curated experience for a larger group where you sat with a lot of other people in presented to by the host. For me, a true speakeasy activity would be more curated to you and your other party members . That being said, the drinks were pretty good and the chocolate pairings with them were excellent . I would definitely recommend this experience to anybody interested in unique food and drink pairings. I was extremely surprised by how much I liked the pure alcohol filled chocolates over the cocktail filled chocolates. Worth a visit for a date or a unique experience with some close friends read more

I made a reservation for Case Chocolates after reading wonderful Yelp reviews! I made the reservation about a week in advance and chose the 8:30 seating. Housekeeping: I opted to do ride-share but there is parking though it's limited (both street and a small adjacent lot). If you do the 8:30 seating, eat or go to dinner first, this is a perfect nightcap! Be mindful this is located in a neighborhood with trains, take routes that avoid them if possible. Case Chocolates is a true speakeasy vibe. It is intimate and quaint. Casey the owner is extremely knowledgeable and goes through tasting notes beautifully! Their menu is curated seasonally although there is one fan favorite that will never leave! Great experience and I'd return again! I wasn't sure how I'd like spirits + chocolate but it was great! read more

This is *the* date spot. Okay, yes, I went with a group of friends, and yes, we loved every romantic second of it. The ambiance of Case Chocolates is incredible. There is a speakeasy and hidden-treasure feel for Case Chocolates, starting from the moment you enter. There is an incredible air of mystery that surrounds the venue that the staff definitely capitalize on (in an incredible way). The long and short - you have to come here! And pro-tip - Uber/Lyft/taxi here so you can fully indulge! If you read the rest of this review - beware - spoilers for this amazing tasting experience ahead! You are presented three chocolates to start, all so tasty. The host's presentation of each element as the night proceeds is phenomenal and you REALLY get pulled fully into the moment, and the tasting experience. Then the drinks and the real chocolates you came for begin. Each chocolate wraps around the actual cocktail you are trying, as well as the cocktail you are not. I have never experienced anything like this! It was amazing. The night closes and you'll find yourself transformed by this chocolatey alcohol rich experience! read more

What an experience! I'm not a big chocolate fan. My friend is one. However, I like to sip on libations here and there. This was a great combo for both of us. I've never had liquid in my candy.

Ok, Case Chocolates is a MUST for a classy date night! I stumbled upon their IG page and quickly made an online reservation for their second seating at 8:30pm, perfect for after dinner. The presentation was very organized and thought out, the pairings were outstanding, and it was so neat to get a taste of how passionate the owner truly is. The ambiance is very intimate. The seating is mostly bar seating, however they do have 2 tables for groups. Parking is limited, so we just Uber'd. I haven't had a "cheat meal" in a while, so it was nice to be able to take leftovers home. I can't wait to return to check out their new holiday menu! read more

I enjoyed this place a lot more than I anticipated. It wasn't my idea to go here, but I was invited so I decided to try it out and it overall definitely was a good experience. The ambience is really nice: very cozy, modern, upscale and without being pretentious so I felt very comfortable there. It was also decorated very nicely. The bartenders we spoke to were extremely friendly, very knowledgeable about the menu, and I was personally kind of clueless as to how to even order and one of the bartenders was really helpful for that. Wait...actually two of them were. The chocolate we tried had either a shot of liquor in it or had a cocktail inside, and both of those were interesting... the way it felt when you bite into them was just hard to explain, but they definitely gave a nice buzz which was surprising because they were so small. I wasn't expecting that. I will say, though that my actual drinks were good, but not great. There was nothing really special about the actual drinks that I had. But overall, it was a really nice and unique experience. It's definitely a nice place to go to bond and just enjoy an experience with a significant other or friends. read more

This review is for the chocolates only and not for the tasting experience. My husband and I popped in before having dinner next door. I LOVE dark chocolates and have tried virtually all of the options in Houston and when we travel I always research to see what the best chocolate shops are in our destination. Naturally when I heard about a new Houston chocolate spot I immediately added it to my list of places to try. The shop itself is super cute but very small as there is a secret entrance in the front that leads to the larger bar space where they conduct the tastings. The woman behind the counter was very friendly and helpful in describing our chocolate options. We ordered a box of 8 and had the bananas fosters, s'mores, carajillo, tequila and gin. The bananas fosters and s'mores chocolates were overly sweet for my liking and the liquor chocolate, while a super fun and different experience, had a grainy quality that wasn't a great mouthfeel. While I enjoyed trying these and thought it was a unique idea to have liquor filled bonbons, I wouldn't repurchase the chocolates. read more

Chocolate and cocktail tasting. The chocolates are perfectly paired and infused with the alcohol of your cocktail. Was definitely intriguing and something I'd return to try again! It is a guided tasting and the staff are highly knowledgeable about the cocktails and chocolate. The ambiance was perfect. I went as a date night on a late Friday and it was the perfect end to our night! The menu/tastings rotate and are curated based on the season so I will definitely be back again and recommending to others! read more

For Case to go think completely out of the box, becoming a Chocolatier in Houston, with his own tasting room, he absolutely knocked out of the park. Just the thought of combining chocolate tasting with Cocktails is absolutely a great date night or ladies night out. But to add the layer of education to the tasting, very much like a wine tasting, makes it more memorable. It's a must repeat as Case conducts seasonal updates to his tasting events. Plus, you can always come for more one of a kind chocolates made in Houston. ! read more

I want to curate an incredible experience for my husband's 50th birthday. This experience included a stop at Case Chocolate. However, being overcharged has left a bitter taste in my mouth that even case chocolates can't remove. I have emailed several times with no reply, and I know they monitor their emails because that's how I made the reservation for the party of 10, so imagine my disappointment when we left the establishment. I got charged an extra $80, and I have no clue what for. I have emailed several times, but have received no reply. I'm posting so others are aware of the shady business practices. read more

This is a really cool and unique spot that I'd recommend to any cocktail fans! Would be particularly great for a date night. I came here with several friends on a weekday night. We made a reservation weeks in advance- I'd definitely recommend doing that, as they seem to book up early. Pro-tip: check out Street to Kitchen a few doors down before for dinner, and come here after! We were greeted to a classy, speakeasy style environment - and they got us seated right away. They have multiple seatings a night - and it's sort of a guided, group tasting - but you're sat independently at separate tables. Our host shared that menu changes quarterly, and he highlighted where the chocolates were from for our tasting, as well as what notes we should taste in each of the chocolates. There were 3 different courses - and we were able to pick which cocktail we wanted for each tasting. The cocktails themselves were delicious, and the chocolates themselves were filled with the liquor and cocktail we were drinking, which was very cool. To me, this is a place I'd check out once for a very cool experience, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the pure liquor in my chocolate. read more

Ambiance so cute and such a fun sexy atmosphere! Michael the owner was warm welcoming and helpful ! The chocolates were amazingly delicious and a fun experience! Definitely it was a bit chaotic because it was the end of the night. If you want a sexy fun date night this will impress ! read more

This was such a cool experience! I had no idea it was here until a coworker told me about it. I'm so glad I was able to get a reservation, especially a spot at the bar, which had great vibes. The experience is three courses of cocktail & chocolate pairings. For each course they describe everything and how it should be eaten. I did see some people not follow instructions don't be like them. The chocolate is very good, they give the background on where it's sourced and you can tell they take pride in finding quality ingredients. The cocktails are amazing of course. I think this is a good price for the quality and quantity. I will give the advice that you should have dinner first, because it's very much a dessert. read more

Do I recommend? ABSOLUTELY! We came to CASE Chocolates this past weekend for date night after hearing about it on TikTok. I booked the reservation on OpenTable ($68/per person). It's a speakeasy, which this was my first time going to a speakeasy. Now I'm in love with them. The moment you walk in, the ambiance is to die for. It's very intimate inside and they played light tunes all night. The vibes were truly immaculate. The owner (and staff) is very personable, professional and a great sense of humor. You'll start with a welcome drink and a bowl of nuts, then as a group, you'll try the three different chocolates. The owner gives you a whole experience and explains the chocolates and where they're sourced from. Then, you'll go through 3 courses, which you pick which cocktail you want to pair with the next set of chocolates. The drinks were made with LOVE! They were kinda strong (you get your monies worth!) but you can still enjoy every sip of the drink. Honestly, some of the best cocktails I've ever had. It was truly an experience and I'm so glad this place exists. We also bought a case of chocolates to go, of course. 15/10 highly recommend, especially for date night!!! read more
