the food and drinks are decent. they definitely give you enough chips with your queso! and the tacos are great!! i just have an issue with amount of fish on the tacos.. there were 3 little strips pf fish.. for $5... in this economy, that's a little steep. the brussel sprout tacos were the star of the show! the service was a lil topsy-turvy. the bartender started of as an asshole. now, she may have been having a rough day.. idk, i always show up with a warm hello and a dash of optimism when i'm checking out a new spot. i am willing to give it another shot because people rave about it, so naturally i would like to see what they see. the place has a clean-divey vibe that i can get into. a chill ambiance that feels like a bar in austin. if you visit, i hope that you have a great experience! bonné santé read more

The burger is FANTASTIC and really reasonably priced! The fries literally taste like McDonalds!

I visited Eight Row Flint on a Monday and appreciated that they offer all-day happy hour, which is a great deal. The service was quick, and my food came out fast. Unfortunately, the food quality was disappointing. The Brussels sprouts arrived barely room temperature, and adding the queso fresco seemed to make them even colder. The barbacoa taco was also only slightly warm and was noticeably greasy. While the happy hour specials are a nice perk, the food itself was pretty average and didn't live up to expectations. Overall, a good spot for happy hour drinks, but I was a little disappointed by the food. read more

There's a vibe - it's just not our vibe Parking: There is a parking lot in the back of the building. It's a bit small for east end lots but we had no problem getting a spot. That being said, it may be hard to park if it's busier. There is a back entrance from the parking lot which is very convenient! Seating: There's indoor and bar seating. The first floor is a bit dim but in a bar vibe kind of way. We preferred rooftop seating upstairs. I think they may have an elevator that goes up which is great (we took the stairs though). Upstairs seating is mostly picnic tables. They also had heaters up there. Drinks/food: We just had a beer and cider so the drinks were about the same as everywhere to us. We also had the empanadas and quesadilla... They were not great... The flavors were off and there was a lot of seasoning on top that did not add to the flavor palate. Service: The service was fine. You had to order downstairs at the bar before going upstairs. Overall a fine experience. Nothing to really make us come back. read more

Im in the middle of the road here. First off I would never thought I would be a fan of the original Brussel sprout taco from the original spot, but i was...here not so much, i took one bite and was done with it. The Elote...too sour, i had the pastor taco and barbacao and believe one of them was too sour. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was good, the place has a pool table which is a plus, but feel original location hit better for me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Love my neighborhood Eight Row Flint. It's not nearly as beautiful as the previous bar (RIP Nightshift), but it's grown on us, and it's now our go-to spot for a quick dinner or happy hour. Chips and queso are a must; the campechana, chicken pozole, and the salsa macha wings also deserve a nod. I can't speak on any of the red meat, but the beau is a fan of their burger (and the fries all McDonald's-esque) and the Thursday steak night. Most of the menu items have meat, cheese, or is fried (I wish they kept the quail eggs on the revamped menu). For drinks, Eight Row Flint is best known for the their whiskey and bourbon selection, along with their frozen bevs - the frozen marg, the rum-based "pain killer," and frozen G&T. Try all three with their frozen flight. Happy hour is Mon-Fri2-6pm with discounts on select food and bevs. They do have a rooftop patio, but unfortch there's nothing too spectacular about it due to the nature of the layout. It's not very big, no grand views, not much space for plants to make it a lil' oasis. But who knows - time will only tell if it's expanded (if possible) or if they add any sort of additional outside seating. read more

Causal chill spot to grab a drink with friends especially during Happy Hour. A major plus is that HH starts at 2pm which is a huge thank you because us mom's of littles hardly get to enjoy HH because it usually starts when we have to pick up our kids and do night time routine. Plenty of seating inside: bar area, long high top community table, all along the walls of the place with bench seating, and patio seating upstairs (although not ideal in Houston heat). My friend walked up there to check out the patio and lordy before we even got to the top we could already feel the heat as we were going up the stairs. It is a nice set up upstairs but prepare to have a sweat fest. HH menu does include drinks and food and I ordered off the HH and regular menu. Frozen flights was delicious especially if you can't decide on which frozen drink to order then get the flight. I also partaked in the carajilllo and that was a good finish to HH. Delicious and I do recommend to have as your last drink especially if you are a mom like me and need to get back to your kids. Hahahaha Brussel sprout taco was not on the menu but it was delicious and it was small. You order per taco, so if you are starving then be sure to order more food or more than 2 tacos. On the HH menu I had the crab empanadas which were good and the hot sauce had a good kick which I liked. The sauce comes on the side. It wasn't wowing so not sure if I would order it again. The elote ribs were delicious! I tasted some off my friends plate and I had to have some to myself! There is a designated parking spot behind eight row but it's very very small. So if you don't score a spot there then street parking is your next best bet. I would like to see that area provide more parking or maybe even a parking garage. read more

Is it even a girls night without tequila?! Or is that just me?! Anyways, my point is, this spot is on point. I cannot tell you how it fares on the weekends when there's likely a larger crowd, but I can say that this was an excellent spot to have a few (expensive but complex) cocktails, some incredibly thoughtful small dishes and a few laughs with a good friend on a week night! Even on a Wednesday, I can see how parking can be a challenge when this place is packed, but nevertheless I'm super thankful it's 100% free (unlike downtown). Other than that, I learned: * If the tables don't say "reserved" you can sit there and they'll tend to you table side, no need to wait to be seated. Alternatively, you can sit at the bar. *The queso is a great start to a meal :) *The Chispa Margarita is a great (strong) opener, the Carajillo is a strong closer, and you can't go wrong with the seafood campechana, and barbacoa beef cheek tacos. I'll be back for the crispy Brussels sprout tacos! read more

Eight Row Flint is the best bar in EaDo, Houston, offering the perfect mix of great drinks, food, and music. Known for its outstanding whiskey, cocktails, and craft beer, it's a place that always delivers. The kitchen serves up delicious tacos and bites that pair perfectly with any pour. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Add in good music by DJ Waldorules, DJ Skrechy Skrach, DJ G Funk, and DJ Squincy Jones, and the vibe is unmatched.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Eight Row Flint is EaDo's go-to nightlife destination. read more

Although a little on the pricier side, Eight Row Flint is a great addition to EaDo with unique spins on drinks that vary in success. I sampled a friend's Casa Piedra Sour, which was a great balance of smoky and lemon. Think mezcal but with a twist. The OG ranchwater, on the other hand, just tasted like a watered down mezcal with some lime notes. No grapefruit flavor made it through that well. My frozen flight was delicious and the campari floater on the frozen gin and tonic was actually quite good from a friend's. My one critique is that the frozen drinks melt quickly, and leave a frozen-watery mix that isn't that good. So... Drink your frozen drinks quickly. The ring toss ($5) is a really fun bar game where you can try to land a ring on a bottle for a shot or get a consolatory High Life. I love that they're willing to have a game like that to experiment with different liquors. Overall an awesome place to hang out with friends and try some unique cocktails. Great addition to EaDo with a strong predecessor to live up to. read more

Service is not the best, the bartenders seems to be tired or unhappy to work there ... they could do much better on the hiring process

Great place to hangout and have a few drinks, play pool or just enjoy the downtown view from their rooftop. They have a food menu but we had already eaten and came to check out the place. I appreciated their selection of mock tails. The bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable of their drinks. You could tell she enjoyed her job. She was pleasant to have as our server. read more

The burger - get the burger. It's one of the better burgers in town. And, Houston is a burger town. Competition is stiff in that category. Eight Row Flint's burger is definitely in the top 10 conversation. We also enjoyed a delicious flight of their frozen drinks. Excellent margaritas. I cleansed my pallet with a couple of Lonestar beers. After which, I ordered a Blanton's bourbon. Oh boy, wow! That is some pants down bourbon! Whoa! $35 well-spent. All in all, we a terrific meal and memorable time with a good group of friends. read more

This is the perfect neighborhood spot for happy hour. You can catch it all day Monday-Friday 2-6pm (drink & food specials). Definitely a relaxed spot and pretty good if you have a larger group as well. Enjoyed the frozen drinks + chill vibes + good eats. deffff get the crab rangoon empanadas, guacamole and pain killer frozen! we sat at the bar (which we normally love to do) and the service was good! They have a patio upstairs which is nice if you want a bit of fresh air. read more

I'mThis was my second time here but first time eating. Both times I've come I was able to find street parking right out front. I imagine I've just gotten lucky as both visits were off peek hours. It was nice to sit on the roof deck and have a view of downtown. Be mindful though that you need to order at the bar so you will bring your own drinks up with you and your food will arrive shortly after. The menu is eclectic, especially for bar food, which I was very excited about. I was here with a group of people and we just ordered a bit of a buffet of things to try. While the all were very picturesque, most tasted rather average. Starting with the chicharrons, they were as expected and were served with a bottle of hot sauce to use as your discretion. The first batch were room temperature, but the second batch we had were actually warm. The chips and queso were good, with thicker pita style chips and a rather unique white queso flavor. The wings had a good flavor as well. I was excited for my octopus taco, but it left me a bit disappointed in both size and flavor. I was also excited to try the Oaxaca Fried Quesadilla, which looks like an oversized empanada, and was also rather bland. I also got to try the Elote Ribs, which were alright, but I think I prefer a more traditional style. Overall the food was average to good, but for the price and the fact that I'm ordering at the bar, I expected a bit more. read more

This weekend was the soft opening of Eight Row Flint's newest location in the East End! The decor still gives "garage vibes," similar to the Heights location - but without actually being a garage. The upstairs patio also has a fantastic view of downtown. There is a small parking lot in the back, and the "Coffee Plant / Second Ward" metro rail stop is literally right outside. I got the frozen flight of margarita, gin & tonic, and frosé. All 3 were delicious! We didn't realize they'd have such a large food menu, so we only came hungry enough for chips & queso (which were very good). I can't wait to come back and try more of the food and drink options! read more

Came here on a Saturday night and easily found parking in their lot. I opted for the freezer manhattan to start, and it was well balanced. Service was friendly but not overbearing. I also tried their frozen margarita, which is on the stronger side, although it doesn't taste like it! I thought their salty dog was a bit too salty for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. They have a rooftop that has a view of downtown. Ambiance is super chill inside on the first floor. Overall, a casual spot with solid drinks, but the neighborhood was a bit sketch. read more

We went to the grand opening event for the new Eight Row Flint location and loved the ambiance! The inside area had plenty of seating including a cozy booth below the large whiskey sign. Just like the other location, lots of fun cocktail options were on the menu. My favorite was the Eight Row Flint Mule which had a fun peachy-bourbon twist. The service was great and friendly, which is what I feel like you would expect from this restaurant group. My favorite part was the rooftop patio which offers a skyline view and was just perfect for the cooler than usual Houston weather! read more

Eight Row Flint- East End - Salted Paloma - Whiskey Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

When we lived in The Heights we used to love walking down to Eight Row Flint so when we saw they were opening a location in Eado we were so excited! The bar is downstairs and there is an upstairs outdoor patio with pretty good views! There are servers constantly coming around so you don't have to wait to order a drink at the bar! We ordered the Paloma and the ranch water. Both were good and very strong! They have the $5 ring toss just like there other location and a large selection of spirits! We ordered wings, empanadas, elote ribs, barbacoa taco, and fried quesadilla. Everything was delicious but our favorites were the wings and the empanadas! Pro move, use the sauce with the empanadas with the ranch on the wings!!! Overall highly suggest checkout out this location. We are excited. To keep coming back and supporting our neighborhood bars! read more

Not quite the cozy character of the original but they are definitely importing the food and cocktail standouts from across town. Got the Brussels taco which is amazing. Must order. White queso -- which has a high risk of becoming alfredo sauce -- is supreme here... sharp cheese, savory caramelized onions and a little kick. The chilaquiles are a definite pass-- basically just a stack of chips with an egg on top. Let down. They have a hilarious and amazing MLB gameday special for $10: beer, shot, hotdog and a rail pass!! Prices are on the high side for the neighborhood but that special is a score. Staff is outrageously knowledgeable and attentive. Checked in on us, kept the waters full and explained the menu with expertise. The rooftop is a little sparse and (out of their control) surrounded by some sterile new construction. The original Eight Row Flint has a lived-in vibe that's hard to match. They've decorated this one with a compatible vibe but it will take time to develop and I'm glad they're not forcing it! read more

This was our first visit to this location. There's so much parking if you're someone who worries about that. We sat at the bar and ordered a few cocktails. I got an old fashioned and my fiancée ordered a Paloma. I really enjoyed my old fashioned. Got an order of queso fries, which are amazing the queso fresco really compliments the fries. The fiancée ordered the Nashville hot chicken, and man that sammich is huge! It also came with plenty of fries for only $8. I ordered the barbacoa taco which was great. The meat was so moist and flavorful with the cabbage and onions. Everything just went together so well. Will definitely be returning. read more

Was feeling like some tacos AND it was Cinco de Mayo, but did not feel like being too much in the mix since I'd been dealing with folks all day as a FA for SWA. Did a search for taco spots near me (outskirts of EADO) and came up on Eight Row Flint. It was less then two miles away, touted making their own tortillas and they had wings, so I was like "bet." Ordered the hot wings with dried chili buffalo sauce, the adobe chicken taco and fish (which is really shrimp) taco. Got to the spot and was a little disappointed that I'd ordered to go. It's cute! Hole in the wall meets urban grunge. Two DJs were spinning Latin beats, folks were shooting pool and there were seats at the bar for solo rollers like me. My order wasn't quite ready so, it being Cinco de Mayo and all, I ordered a $3 jello shot while I waited. Tasty, but not overly alcoholic. My order was ready shortly thereafter and I headed home to feast. Feast , I did. The wings were crispy even after the drive and were tender and tasty with just the right amount of heat. A little side note: I put in my order notes that I'd prefer blue cheese dressing over the ranch that was offered. I didn't get the blue cheese, but the kitchen took the time to write "sorry" on my ranch container. Nice. I inhaled the tacos. The "fish" taco had a crunch and a sour bite from the toppings that was delightful. I ate the chicken taco last, and after more than halfway finishing a home-made margarita, so I can't completely vouch for it. It was hella flavorful, but it didn't have the chunks of fried chicken I was expecting, and instead more like cubes of chicken that may or may not have been fried. I'm definitely going to return to this spot with my boo and designated driver so I can give the chicken taco another spin AND check out the rooftop patio and Hornitos margaritas. read more
