The vibe and aesthetic matched our energy for the day, so we decided to stay and I'm so glad we did. Our server, CICIIIIIII, did her thing on the cocktails. My friend and I ordered the Butterfly Pea French 75's, which were everything and more. My wife went with the Strawberry Tequila Lemon Drop, and it was just as amazing. These drinks alone are enough to bring me back. The music selection fit the atmosphere perfectly, and I loved the decor especially the Monsteras propagating in the window. I also noticed the DJ booth, and judging by the playlist, I can only imagine the DJ sets are a whole vibe. On top of all that, this is a Black-owned restaurant, and I had the pleasure of fist bumping the owner, which made the experience feel even more special. If you're looking for a chill vibe, get here early. You'll feel like you own the place. I'm literally writing this review while still sitting here and trust me, I'll definitely be back. Add on: We ordered a drink specifically from CiCi. She made us a Dusse Blood Orange side car, and this may be my new go to drink I fear. RUN DON'T WALK!!!! Ask for CICI, Tell her Tish sent you.

Let's clear a few things up because the previous review from 'Tim' feels less like a customer…read moreexperience and more like someone trying very hard to be offended. First, her name is **KeeWee**. That is the correct spelling. And if you have spent any real time at The Alley Kat, you know exactly who she is. KeeWee runs that place with professionalism, personality, and the kind of presence that keeps the room moving. She knows the regulars, she keeps things organized when the place is packed, and she does it with confidence. That is called leadership, not "rudeness." Also, real men do not spend their time criticizing a woman's wig in an online review. That alone tells me everything I need to know about the credibility of that post. If that is the best complaint you have, it sounds like the night went pretty well. Now let's talk about the actual experience. The drinks are excellent, the food is consistently good, and yes, the place stays busy. That is usually what happens when people enjoy being somewhere. The bartenders work hard, the atmosphere is lively, and the staff actually knows their customers. Shannon and the rest of the team are always welcoming. The Alley Kat reopening after COVID was a big deal for a lot of us. Places like this are part of the community. For many of us, it has become our version of **Cheers**. People know your name, you run into friends, and you leave in a better mood than when you walked in. So to the person who wrote that review, take the fake account and keep it moving. The rest of us will be right where we always are, enjoying good drinks, good food, and good company. If you know, you know. And we are glad The Alley Kat is back. It's a far different space than it was during my first review 9 years ago and a key element of that IS KEEWEE. This is a WELL established account that has left many reviews over the years and MY REVIEW carries actual weight.

Thank you so much for making a birthday/fifa watch party be such a standout event. I appreciate you more than I will ever express in person lol. Also it's all drinks here, the vibes are great, you can DoorDash food here. Our toddlers love the open greenery. 10's across the board, tysm :)

First time at TNP and I'll definitely be back !…read more Location/parking : I love that there are more and more things I'm discovering in east Houston! TNP is perfect as its own spot but also for a night cap after listening to music at East River (which is what I did) Parking felt a bit complicated. There seemed to be some street parking around but I wasn't sure if it was an option, so I tried to pull into a dirt lot I saw other cars parking in. Needless to say it didn't work out so well for me - my car got stuck in the mud and left me with a moment of anxiety as I tired to get out... That was the only negative experience for me though ! Venue: From the outside it seemed pretty small but it's much larger than expected ! There's and indoor and outdoor bar. The indoor bar has restrooms and some seating. Outside there is tons of seating and in back as well. Staff: I only ordered from the inside bar and the bartender there was awesome ! He also seemed very excited to make some creative drinks which was awesome and unexpected Other things to note: There was a dj for a while when we arrive It's dog friendly !

The drinks were phenomenal and our waitress Aly J. was the absolute best. She made sure we were well taken care of the entire night and never missed a beat! We will definitely continue to come back and see her!

Very disappointing experience at Little Woodrow's EaDo. My friend was kicked out because staff…read moreclaimed she was intoxicated, but I was with her the entire time and she had only had two beers. She wasn't stumbling, being disruptive, causing problems, or showing any obvious signs of being overly intoxicated. What made the situation even more frustrating was that there were other groups around us being significantly louder, yet we were the ones singled out. We were given no clear explanation for why she was being removed other than the claim that she was intoxicated. The whole situation felt unfair and left us feeling like we were being singled out or discriminated against for no apparent reason. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this place. Be aware that you could be asked to leave even when you're behaving appropriately and not causing any problems.

No complaints tbh, They have badass music good vibes, and everyone there is was just down for funnnnread more

They touted a cheaper hookah as we were walking by but dang it is garbage, the host didn't even know what hookah was, and an older individual was throwing up in the garbage to the right of us at 9:45 pm and they didn't remove them. This place is absolutely laughable lol fun for a people watch but watch your card

We didn't order food, but the plates we saw coming out looked good and the service seemed quick, so that's on the list for next time. The outdoor area is the real scene-stealer: - Hammock-style swings - A gigantic playground-style slide - Cornhole boards - An outdoor bar - A massive TV - Bright, colorful chairs scattered around It felt like grown-folks recess -- playful but still very much outside and social. Perfect for pictures, too.

Anytime I find myself on Main Street after 9 PM on a weekend, there's a high chance I'm heading to…read moreDean's. It's one of my favorite and most consistent downtown spots. The vibe always gives cozy-meets-classic energy(like what I imagine the Gryffindor Common Room would feel like if it had a full bar, vintage chandeliers, and a DJ that NEVER misses!) I wish I remembered his name, but he's been a regular for a while and knows exactly how to read the room. The set usually starts slow and gets progressively better, so by 11 PM, the place is packed. But if you get there earlier, you can grab one of the plush couches, which I love. In this age of "section culture," it's refreshing to find a spot where you can sit comfortably without paying a premium. The bartenders are another reason I keep coming back. Even when it's busy, they're attentive, friendly, and quick with orders. It's rare to find a place serving well-crafted cocktails under $15 in downtown, and Dean's manages to keep that energy, especially during happy hour. From the glowing red lighting to the vintage mirrors, curated menu, and easygoing crowd, Dean's gives you a lounge vibe without the pretense. Whether you're just stopping in on a spontaneous night out or for a thoughtful date night, it's always a good call.

Great pour on the drinks things pick up on Sunday about 9pm as they prepare for live music which I love. The salmon and veggies meal was absolutely delicious and fulfilling for the price friend had the smoke wings equally delicious.!! Spent 150$ in there over 3 hours was worth it ! 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 will definitely be back when I need that Sunday late afternoon fix and some jazz !! Check them out on social media for the live music nights nice atmosphere all around!!
