It's the kind of grown‑folks environment where you can relax, enjoy yourself, and feel completely at ease. The vibe is mature, classy, and full of good energy. Let me start with Yaya, because she is truly the heartbeat of the place. Her personality, professionalism, and warm presence elevate the entire experience. She knows how to make guests feel welcomed, seen, and appreciated. Whether she's checking in, making conversation, or keeping the energy flowing, Yaya is the absolute best kind of staff member who makes you want to come back again and again. The DJ keeps the music on point, blending smooth tracks with upbeat hits that match the mood perfectly. When karaoke kicks off, it's a whole vibe, fun, engaging, and full of personality. It's the type of karaoke where people actually enjoy themselves, not just perform. The crowd is grown, respectful, and there to have a good time. The patio area is another highlight. It's spacious, comfortable, and perfect for stepping outside to enjoy the night air without losing the ambiance. Whether you're smoking a cigar, chatting with friends, or just taking a breather, the patio adds a whole extra layer to the experience. Inside, the ambiance is smooth and inviting, with dim lighting, good music, and a mature crowd that knows how to enjoy themselves without the chaos you find in younger spots. It's the perfect place to unwind after a long week or celebrate something special.

We came during the day so we didn't get to experience the evening crowd and network with the socialites. There is artwork all throughout the place that was pretty dope and it makes it feel a lot more comfortable and welcoming to those with culture. They don't serve food but they allow you to order and bring it in if you'd like. I think the humidor and cigar selection could be a a lot better. There's room for improvement there but the Houston Cigar is pretty top notch I hear.

Our party of 5 had dinner here last Saturday night to celebrate and order from the Houston…read moreRestaurant Weeks menu. 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.

I saw this place on another Yelpers Instagram and once I asked if they had hookah and she said yes I knew I was going!!! I picked a cigar bar because I wanted to treat my brother for his birthday and he loves a cigar! The owner of this establishment put him on to one he's never had and he was very impressed with the suggestion and will smoke that particular cigar in the future. I'm not into cigars so I tuned out as they were talking. The owner of this place is very engaging without being intrusive. He cares about his customers experience and that was much appreciated. I asked for a mixed berry hookah but he added his own blend and let me just say I will let him pick my hookah from here on out! I loved the flavor and it was so smooth! All of the employees here are very gracious and inviting! Very friendly and pleasant! He's got a good group of people working for him. Don't be fooled by the title. They do have a plethora of martinis and the crowd, especially the ladies, we're loving them!!! However they have other liquors. I don't know about wine though. My brother had scotch. I had a Sprite as I was the designated driver. (Don't drink and drive folks!!!) I will definitely be back here! The prices are reasonable and the crowd is older and respectable. Well, they are mature and that is cool!

He will find something you will enjoy, cut it, light it, and check on you in case it goes out. Bring your friends and enjoy a smoke.

Second time I went, he was yelling and screaming in the back room and it sounded like he was fighting with someone and when he came up front I asked if he had sparkling water and he berated me by saying he's not my personal barista, I started to pack up my belongings to leave and he starts talking as if breaking the fourth wall in some sitcom or something? If the pirate even reads his reviews, I tell you: get better sofas, fix your humidifier, DONT berate customers for asking for drinks, stop yelling and cussing at the top of your lungs, STOP selling dry and cracking cigars and get a class or something on how to behave like a humble, GRATEFUL human being and give thanks to other customers who even consider going to your business, 1/3 of the inventory in your shelf's and they're DRY!!! To any new customers just go to Joseph's or Nice Ash which are both within driving distance. RUDE. DISRESPECTFUL. INCONSIDERATE. I regret giving this "store" my business.

Only thing I'd like to see eventually would be to see some high cocktail tables at the front patio close to the gate so patrons can see over the gate (without having to stand ) and ppl can see the patrons to attract more patrons . The parking lot once crowded can be a hassle so next time will park along the side instead of the back, got blocked in and that's wasn't fun but quickly resolved .

I stopped by on a Sunday around 6 p.m. While I Uber'd, I know that you can find free street parking in the area despite it often being busy. Ambiance (3.5/5): The Davenport was packed even on a Sunday evening. To the point where no seats were available. Luckily for me, about 10 minutes in, the lady next to me left so I was able to snag a seat at the bar. There are also high tops and a small patio out front. The Davenport is a pretty chill establishment, but one with a loyal following. Service (4/5): A full bar usually means service issues. There was a component of that here. It took a little while to order my drink and later to get the bartender's attention to close my tab. Given how popular The Davenport is, your experience will likely be the same. Luckily, they make up for it by going above and beyond with their cocktails. I'll get to that in a second. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet, and to be honest, while I'm not 100%, I don't think they have food. There was a guy walking around selling boudin though right when I was about to leave. Drinks (4.5/5): The Davenport is known for their martinis so that's what I recommend going with. It's a The Cheesecake Factory-type menu with 40 or so martinis to choose from. Paradox of choice situation. I ended up going with the gummy bear which was a solid cocktail, although a bit too sweet for my taste. Here's what makes Davenport next level... their martinis pack a punch. I always appreciate a stiff drink. And on top of that, they often give you more than your cocktail in a martini glass. There's usually quite a bit leftover so they'll pour that in another glass for you. Basically a drink and a half for the price of one! Given the strength of the cocktails and the quantity, it's definitely a good deal. The Davenport has been around for a while and has become a well-known spot. I'm glad I finally got to cross it off the list. After you down a martini or two, there's an Irish pub right next door and Trill Burger right across the street.

We came specifically for the chocolate martinis and I tried out an expresso one as well.. It was dangerously good. The bartender warned us ahead of time as they pour double here and yea.. he wasn't kidding. It was filled all the way to the brim.. you're getting your money's worth on a delicious martini. Vibe was a good entire time as they started playing some R&B/hiphop... the crowd slowly trickled in. By the time we left it was almost packed! We had a really nice little table near the front so got to see alot of regulars come in. The bartender even gave us a round of shots on the house for being our first time. (It was like a double green tea shot lol) Great experience overall and definitely be coming back if I'm in this area.. Parking can be tight but there's spots around in some of the nearby shopping centers. I hear it can definitely get busy in the evenings, so glad to have gotten to try out this spot!
