    Complimentary non-alcoholic beverage
    Lesley M.

    Endless Bummer is a cute, trendy, hidden bar in the museum district, snuggled right next to Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse. Think Meow Wolf but on a much smaller scale with a focus on tropical cocktails and libations! The secret entryway is marked with a black palm tree and one must knock to be let in. I made a reservation because a content creator on Instagram recommended one even on weekdays. It honestly felt unnecessary on a weekday at 5PM, and there was a coat associated with cancelling! We were seated quickly and given a complimentary non-alcoholic beverage while we pursued the menu. There were many cocktails to choose from, and we sampled several. Plus, the bartender brought us several free cocktails and shots - he said he was training a new hire who needed practice making drinks. The service was very friendly making conversation and recommendations. The downside to Endless Bummer is that the menu does not include any food items, and the drinks were VERY expensive. Additionally, if you need to use the restroom, you have to exit the bar and walk to Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse (which is connected on the inside, so it isn't too big of a deal). Overall, this was a unique and fun experience to do once! But, the price of the drinks and lack of food makes it doubtful I will return. Note: Parking is free and shared with Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse right behind the restaurant/bar.

    While it was advertised to be an exciting, mystical experience, Endless Bummer turned out to just be a bar with a mysterious entrance and themed decor. The servers were super friendly and certainly tried their best, but the element of surprise with secret rooms and gothic ambiance that they described on the website was not quite there. In fact, there are no secret rooms at all! What really prevents this place from a full five stars is the drinks. I got one of the group drinks with a friend that serves 2-3 and after drinking the entire thing, neither of us were the slightest bit tipsy - which as someone who doesn't require much, was both surprising and disappointing. Another one of my friends got an off menu "exclusive" drink that was very aromatic but not the most pleasant to drink, plus it was still weak. If we had gotten some of their other cool features like the THC options or a drink on fire, maybe it would've been more exciting, but ultimately the drinks were a bit of a letdown. While there was a lot of thought put into the decor and theme, the lack of features that were promised on the website and weak drinks led to an experience that left me wanting a bit more. I'd try again in a few months once things develop a bit more!

    We had a pre birthday celebration for April Bush on a good Sunday Funday. We started off at this hidden Tiki Bar called Endless Bummer. Reservations recommended. You walk up and ring the doorbell at this secret door. We waited a few minutes and Kennedy came to retrieve us. Once they opened up another secret door it was like Gothic cuteness. I loved it. It was very aesthic! We were seated and we started our drinking journey. They do not sell food fyi. They have a book full of specialty drinks and NO COGNAC. We actually were not familiar with any of the liquor they used. My drink in the boat was super cute, but I didn't like it at all. All of our drinks were pretty mediocre and 25$ a piece! April liked her old fashion. Sooooo if you want social media content, this is your place...but don't come for the drinks actually.. just my personal opinion.

    The menu is a journey of its own.

    Finally! A real tiki bar in Houston. The ambiance embraces all the senses. The atmosphere is magical. The cocktails are pricy but delicious. The service is attentive. This is a must see and try.

    Love the kinky, spooky vibes. The drinks here are unique and well crafted. I am looking forward to coming back again .

    WOW! What a wonderfully unique and fun experience! The staff were warm and personable, and very helpful regarding the venue and the drink menu. Its "Dark Tiki" ambience is a chill, weird vibe (in a good way), with intriguing artwork everywhere you look, and the fresh ingredients put the cocktail program up there with Lei Low and Pineapple Parlor. We first had the Saturn (with non-alcoholic gin) and the Puka Punch, and then the Kobra's Fang and the Bay Breeze (made with non-alcholic vodka). Both were just SO delicious! If you're a tikiphile, make this a regular location for your nights out. The only recommendation I could make to management is that our table needed a wipe down (there was a light dusting of something grainy on the surface), and the menus were a bit sticky, but the experience was so wonderful I consider that a small inconvenience and nothing worth missing out on this fun venue for! FYI: The only entrance is now through Betelgeuse Betelgeuse; stop at the hostess stand and ask the lovely employee there to be seated. The doorbell is no longer mounted at the bar's entrance.

    I recently visited with some friends. There is an awkward door when you enter. We stood in a waiting area and then went through the second door. Anytime someone needed to use the restroom you must knock on that door to go back to the waiting area and then knock on the adjoining door at Betelgeuse and then do the whole process again when you return from the bathroom. The decor was what I would describe as tiki adjacent. It was immersive and cool but not what you would see at a typical tiki bar. When we were seated we were greeted with a complimentary drink. The menu is in a photo album; the prices are high compared to other tiki bars. My personal favorite tiki drink is a painkiller it was not on the menu. I settled for two drinks that are not tiki drinks. (A pistachio Mai tai that did not taste like pistachios or a Mai tai. And an old fashion) other people in my group had daiquiris etc.. upon speaking to the staff I learned that none of the members had experience with tiki bars or tiki drinks. I inquired if they had visited various tiki bars in Texas or were familiar with them. The only one knew was Lei lows ( which is A++ in my book! How can you resist. a barefoot in the sand) After reviewing the menu I said what drinks do you have that are tropical and smooth? ( other than a daiquiri) They said they had not developed that part of the menu yet. This is equivalent to going to I hop and they saying they haven't learned how to make pancakes yet. The whole reason you go to a tiki bar is for the tiki drinks. They have only been open a couple months perhaps they will visit more bars and enhance their menu. The staff was friendly, parking was ample behind the building, everything was clean. I feel turning on some tropical music and fixing the menu would make the experience better.

    Authentic drinks, great vibes and amazing hospitality. A must visit if you're a tiki aficionado

    This is a great speakeasy with excellent drinks and very cool decor from one of the artists behind Meow Wolf. I particularly recommend their Brown Butter Rum Old-Fashioned, which was by far the standout drink I tried there.

    Endless Bummer is anything but a bummer. This little tiki bar crushed it -- every drink was made from scratch and somehow got better with each round. The service was on point -- super friendly, fast, and you could tell everyone genuinely loves what they do. It's like they weren't just slinging drinks, they were serving up good vibes with a side of rum. The ambience is cozy, a little funky, and totally perfect for date-night 10/10

We came during happy hour and it was such a great deal. I ordered the Sweet Like Peach Tree, which was light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced with the peach and ginger. My husband got the Frozen Paloma and it was just as good, super smooth with the right citrus bite. We also shared the churros and they were honestly a must order. Warm, crispy, and paired with Nutella and caramel. What really made the experience stand out though was our bartender, Manny. He was incredibly welcoming from the moment we sat down, had such a great personality, and made the whole experience feel personal. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and that kind of service is hard to find.

Considering the recent shutter of other places (#2) within the hospitality umbrella, it's not too big of a surprise that Wooster's would also be in the crosshairs. The space was always a nice mix of indoor and outdoor seating, which combined with its dedicated parking lot made this an easy drinking outlet for all kinds of occasions. The intimate indoor space was lovely and well ventilated, and it felt like there wasn't ever a moment where the bar wasn't slammed. The outdoor space was much of the same, with lots of tables and chairs, and even the trendy swing chairs facing the city. The only thing that was a little bit of a liability were those open flame heaters; it would only take on person to accidentally walk into one or trip onto it. For libations, the drinks were well priced, well made, and always potent. I appreciated the aesthetics, as well as the bartenders who made them. The only part that wasn't exciting was the limited food menu, which did its part as munchies for the drink heavy crowd, but was mediocre otherwise. The space is already undergoing the new facelift of a separate concept, one of which I hope will do the area justice, just as much as Wooster's did. ____________ (#1) The Kirby Group. (#2) R.I.P.

You are drawn, the way one is drawn to a place that promises honesty with a wink. It wears the posture of a dive but carries itself with intention, a little bohem, a little defiant, and entirely comfortable in its own skin. The bar hums with craft. Cocktails arrive balanced and deliberate, built by hands that understand restraint as much as flair. Nothing shouts. Nothing apologizes. Each glass feels considered, as though the bartender paused just long enough to ask what kind of night you were hoping to have, then answered without speaking. The staff moves easily, quick with wit and generous with attention, treating regulars and first-timers as if both had already earned their place. The decor tells its own quiet rebellion. Mismatched, layered, worn just enough to feel lived in, it carries the sense that stories have been told here and will be told again. And then there are the bathrooms, unisex and unashamed, their walls papered with vintage Playboy centerfolds that celebrate the female form not as spectacle but as art. Tasteful, sexy, unapologetic. A reminder that admiration can exist without crudeness, that beauty does not need permission to be acknowledged. The Two Headed Dog is less a bar than a posture toward the world. It resists neat categories. Not quite dive, not quite cocktail lounge, not quite anything else that could be reduced to a label. It is a place for those who appreciate craft without pretension, sensuality without excess, and atmosphere without artifice. In a city that thrives on reinvention, this bar stands firm, confident enough to be exactly what it is and nothing more.

I went because this was the only bar open during Labor Day when I had guest visiting. So I would say it's a pretty nice location, considering the fact that it is always consistently open. They had a good menu with different cocktails that were fun and fruity. Otherwise, I did also see people could order coffee at the bar and have different espresso drinks. It looks like the drink that I ordered is also no longer on the menu. The bar prides itself on having a rotating meal changing menu so I think that's a lot of fun when it comes to trying new drinks and new combinations and it truly shows the artistry of the bartender. There was the option of both indoor and outdoor seating. The interior was more of a dimmer, elegant and darker tone. I can see it being pretty classic if you were to go at night time. The bar set up was really beautiful and they had different 2 to 4 seating wooden tables. Overall, the inside would probably only fit around 20 people. I was very sad because we couldn't sit outside. The day before it had rained so every outdoor seating was wet. But I was told that they had a beautiful seating outside with a garden and a pool. Service was good. The bartender came out of the bar to take orders, give menus and give you the check. I will say that it got really busy at the end and it took a while to get our check.

Not hard to find, it's located to the right as you walk in. What brought us here is that it's listed as one of the top 50 bars in Houston in Houstonia Magazine. Service (3/5): While we had a waitress, she was slow to greet us and slow to check up on us. It's a small bar and there isn't a ton of seating so it's not like she was overwhelmed. For a fancy hotel, you expect better. Maybe sitting at the bar is better than sitting at some seats as we did. Ambiance (4/5): The Colombe d'Or is a beautiful hotel and Bar No. 3 reflects that. It's an elegant spot to grab a drink, although small. Food (N/A): While there are expensive items on the menu, I had dinner earlier that night so I was on a liquid diet. Drinks (3/5): Bar No. 3 is known for its cocktails so I focused on the cocktail list. The list isn't large but it features a nice selection. Like the food, you're going to pay a premium. I enjoyed my adult beverage but felt like it was a bit overpriced. Hitting up hotel bars isn't a common occurrence in Houston unless you're a traveler. For Bar No. 3 to be the only hotel bar on Houstonia's top 50 is a feat in itself.
