There were 2 sets of couples in there, too, so not busy. But somehow it took the bartender several minutes to even acknowledge our group. Save the aggravation, go to the brewery instead.

I was looking for a different place to take my husband for Father's Day and found this place…read morethrough TikTok. I am so happy I decided this as one of our Father's Day spots. From the outside, you'd never think this neatly crafted distillery was here. It is for sure a neighborhood gem. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. Kisha was working the bar and was very helpful suggesting a drink for us. She asked all the right questions and I selected the hibiscus drink and my husband got the spiced drink (sorry can't remember the names). They were mad with love and perfection. The upstairs of the distillery is uniquely designed and has local art to add to the flavor of the environment. They have the cutest sitting room so you can enjoy your drinks. We purchased a tour and Bruce, the tour guide, added to the atmosphere with his humor and knowledge. During the tour you get to taste all the rums and they are all made with love. You will learn more about it during the tour. The owner, Eric, is also very welcoming and doesn't shy away from his guests. It's definitely a place I would return to purchase rum and also bring my visitors.

I stumbled upon this spot after leaving Buffalo Bayou. I must say that i was pleasantly surprised…read more The staff where friendly and they were more than welcoming. They only have three liquors but they tast pretty good. The place is kinda small but they have a larger open seating area upstairs. We also got to paint our own bottles which was cool. The owner even introduced himself and they have tours every hr. I would recommend as a place to try out.

Brewery #398 I have…read morebeen to Frost Town Brewing twice, the 1st time was for the World Baseball Classic, and the next time was in June for an Astros game. The space itself is very nice inside, the kind of brewery my girlfriend would like. It's bright, large windows, clean and lots of plants. They don't do flights on game days even if no one is in line and there are like 10 people in the brewery. The 1st time I came, this rule made sense but the second time they had damn near as many workers as customers. So, I have only tried 3 beers. A stout that I didn't care for and 2 IPA's that were pretty good. There is no food onsite and the 2 times that I was there, I didn't see a food truck either. They also offer free parking for the Astros games if you have a 15,00 tab so that alone is worth the visit.

There's a handful of breweries in and around downtown that are worth a visit and Frost Town is one…read moreof them. Fun fact: the brewery is named after the Frost Town settlement which is considered one of the first neighborhoods in the city of Houston. Frost Town is a few blocks from Daikin (still haven't adjusted to the name change) and is a popular spot for folks to go before/after Astros' games. The brewery is quite large and is great for groups. It's two stories, though I've never sat upstairs. There's a nice sized patio as well. According to their website, they're family friendly and dog friendly too. I've enjoyed all of the beers that I've tried including the Kolsch and Pub Ale. I haven't ordered a flight, but I like that you can order up to 6 pours (I've never seen a beer flight with more than 4-5 pours). In addition to beer, they offer wine, cider, and NA beverages. They offer weekly specials like $5 fruit beers on Fridays. They also have events like game nights, yoga (Sundays), and trivia night (Wednesdays). If you're planning to hang awhile, they have a shelf full of board games near the bathrooms for patrons to play. They sometimes have a food truck on site, although the times that I have visited, they didn't have one. They do allow patrons to bring in outside food (if you need a Tex Mex fix, Irma's is nearby). I have not had any issues with parking, though the times that I visited haven't been super busy. They have a parking lot as well as street parking (free after 6 pm and all day on Sundays). Frost Town is super chill and laid back. Just the way I like it!

My friend and I enjoy exploring small craft breweries around town. My friend wanted to check out…read moreEqual Parts so we stopped in on a Sunday evening. The brewery is located in the East End/Second Ward and it's owned by the same folks as Brash Brewing. The building was built in the early 1900s. The taproom is moderate in size and there were quite a few tables. I had a pint of the Oktoberfest which I really enjoyed! I also ordered a flight with the following: 3 Seashells, Brash EZ 7, Spin Jammer, and the Exotica Scorpion. I didn't care for the Exotica (it was too sour for my preference), but I did like the other three that I tried. We didn't see any food during our visit, but they do have rotating vendors that sell food on site. You can also bring in food or have food delivered to the brewery. They don't have any TVs, so this wouldn't be a place to watch a game. They do allow free parking at the brewery if you want to take the train to the stadium which is pretty cool. They have weekday specials and they host events like Music Bingo and Yoga on the 4th Sunday of the month. Check their website and social media for events and specials.

It's Detroit style I believe. The pretzel was got and fresh and the mustard had a great zing about it. The service is fast as well. We went during a pub crawl event so there were signature drinks at each pub/bar that I'm not sure are on the main menus. Regardless, it's a nice place to catch up with friends and good value for the portion sizes. Also, we had some good ciders to choose from here!

We didn't try the food but next time we're in town definitely gonna give it a try. All of the cider is made on site except for two. Go check this place out.

Wow, whenever I visited the actual location, the customer service and the staff were always very…read morefriendly, especially the general manager (a gentleman who always made the experience pleasant). The location was really nice, the private room was great and the vibes were awesome. Unfortunately, my experience with Nikki Harris, who is also listed as a general manager, has been the complete opposite. For months, I have been asking how I can actually receive my wines, and I have the emails to prove it. I never received a single response or clear direction. The whole communication around this has been terrible. When Nikki finally did reply, it was with a rude and dismissive message, one that I've attached here for transparency, without ever acknowledging my prior outreach. This is not the way paying customers should be spoken to or treated, especially when they have been spending money and not able to get clarity on their products. I had already canceled my membership before this exchange, but had I not, I certainly would have afterward. Her tone and lack of professionalism were unacceptable, and it made clear to me that she does not understand what respectful customer service looks like. She also had to backtrack on her email without even knowing the facts. The worst! I understand that closures and operational challenges happen, but respect and clear communication should never be optional. Unfortunately, Nikki Harris demonstrated neither.

Our guide was very…read moreknowledgeable and helped us find the notes in every wine and made great pairing suggestions both with the charcuterie in front of us and for future meals in case we wanted to buy a bottle. They don't offer pours by the glass if you walk in and feature their membership, which is subscription based and looked great, but since we weren't local wasn't a good fit for us. The space was also pretty cute and we liked the high top setup that was great for our group. Check them out!

Drop of the Creator is a must visit spot for happy hour, book clubs, meetings, social events,…read morecatching up with friends, or simply supporting a local business. I've visited this hidden gem twice. The first time, I was passing by and decided to stop in because I wanted to see exactly what it was all about. My second visit was for an event hosted there, "Pride & Progress". During my first visit, I took the opportunity to try a flight of their in house spirits, including tequila, whiskey, vodka, and gin. They were all great on their own and also worked well in cocktails. I also tried a flight of beers, but unfortunately, they all tasted flat, which was disappointing considering how great the other beverages were. The service during my first visit was amazing. My experience during the second visit wasn't quite as pleasant, but I assumed the difference may have been due to the event taking place and the staff being overwhelmed. Drop of the Creator may look small from the outside, but once you step inside, it's spacious, bright, sophisticated, and beautiful. There are plenty of different areas to gather, making it a great spot for a variety of occasions. I haven't had the opportunity to try their food yet, but I'm definitely looking forward to giving it a try on my next visit. I've already recommended Drop of the Creator to many friends, family members, and colleagues because I genuinely think it's a great local spot that more people should experience.

We've been working on getting out here for months! Located in the heart of the Meyerland area, you…read morewouldn't know it existed unless someone told you. Which someone obviously did. A bunch of friends that are local, to be precise. We came out on a Wednesday, which is trivia night. Parking was easy at the time. We arrived, but could get a bit iffy during a rush. The interior is well decorated. The lounge looks very comfortable. We were in the back bar area where the events take place. The bar tenders were really efficient, we didn't wait long for anything. We did t play trivia, but wish we had. The host was hilarious, and the trivia topics were broad. We will definitely be back for this again. Drinks were very good. Average modern day pricing at $12-$15 a drink. Food was also very good, though a little pricey at $18/ 12"pizza. I'm not hating on quality, just a tough bill to swallow. Not sure if there's a happy hour but would totally show up for that. They have their own brand of liquors, and also brew their own beers. Like most breweries in the South, the have lighter fair. No stouts, or the like. The heaviest they make are likely the larger or amber. They have a red as well. I stuck to liquor this trip, but will update with a beer review. Overall great spot, a little pricey but you're also getting good things in a chill area instead of the heights midtown, Montrose, or some other congested inconvenient area (for us outer-loopers).
