    You cannot sleep on these drinks! The flights here are next-level hands down amazing and worth every penny. We tried the vodka, whiskey, and rye flights, and each one was a masterclass in flavor. Every sip was smooth, balanced, and packed with character. And let's talk about the pork belly, babe...10/10. Melt-in-your-mouth perfection with the right touch of crisp and seasoning. Beyond the incredible drinks and food, the service was top-notch attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable, and always ready with recommendations. The ambiance? A perfect mix of Texas yet inviting, with a vibe that makes you want to stay for "just one more." Whether you're here for a casual night out or a special occasion, this place delivers in every way. Don't walk run!

    Wow what an awesome place, however needs better management though. Tried to order drinks and food at bar but was turned away. Short staffed makes it challenging to enjoy. However whisky is awesome! Music's was awesome on Saturday night, great live music !!!! Would return for the drinks and live music, but don't like waiting for someone to take my order nor being turned away from bar (who does that? )

    Can only vouch for the drinks - they're pretty legit. Average Houston cocktail prices aka not cheap, and the ambience is super cute. Second story in a warehouse setting, low lighting, great photo ops, picnic tables & bar seating. Great for large or small groups, and the waitresses were very helpful!

    Ben's Den is a new whiskey bar located right inside the Gulf Coast Distillers. The whiskey distillery itself has been around since 2016, but Ben's Den is a bar and tasting room that, well, it's the nicest I've seen in any Texas Distillery; and I've been to many. There's a full cocktail menu, along with whiskey flights that feature more labels than just Gulf Coast. There's an assortment of whiskey labels to choose from. The decor is industrial with a modern Texas twist... giant Jenga, corn hole, picnic tables, TVs with sports... (Big thank you to the barkeep Mike for putting on Pretty Woman for us!) Right now, there is a Yelp check-in offer for a complimentary cocktail. If that doesn't persuade you to drop in, then my review + photos should! Cheers!

    Coffee too!

    My new favorite place!! Very unassuming when you pull into the lot of an industrial building but walk upstairs to a gorgeous bar with AMAZING craft cocktails and food! The crispy garlic Brussels sprouts melt in your mouth, the loaded fried with pork belly...enough said. So good! The place is super spacious. Will be back again and again.

    Awesome place!!

    Distillery that makes alot choices and beer....and it's pretty good. People are nice and helpful. The design is impressive.

    Food menu

    This place is truly a hidden gem. I am a big fan of whiskey. So I was longing to visit Gulf Coast Distillery. From the outside the building looks like an industrial factory but once you walk in and up the staircase its a WOW FACTOR! The whole set up is very neat, tidy and cool! All of the food sampled was great next we move to the drinks... my first was the old fashioned of course and what was served to me was a smoked old fashioned. It was unexpected and very much appreciated upgrade. The second drink was a rye old fashioned which was perfect. Will definitely return back to sample the whole menu.

    Bar area

    Ben's Den (inside of the distillery) is a great spot for cocktails and food. We tried several things on the menu and everything was delicious. Two very tasty beers on tap, and more coming soon. Highly recommend any of the bourbons/whiskeys or gin. This will become a regular stop in EADO.

The location is money, super convenient right around the corner from House of Blues and Toyota Center. You'll often see a mix of locals and out-of-towners on most nights. Bar area gets lively on weekends, but the service stays on point.. The bartenders here are very knowledgeable, can make a drink off the menu if you asks.. The whiskey selection extensive and the staff actually knows how to guide you through it if you're not sure what you want. Vibe is more of a low lit, cozy, and feels a little upscale without being too pretentious.. Good spot for date night or just grabbing drinks with friends after a show. A solid cocktail spot to checkout

We came a couple weeks ago during the World Cup and it was the perfect reprieve from all the fan fest craziness. They had a projector on so you could still watch the game but it was much calmer and quieter here. The drinks are super reasonable and the food is typical bar food but honestly really good! The loaded fries are my go to. Overall I really enjoy this bar and will be keeping it in mind for future times when maybe other bars in EADO are a little too crazy.

The bartender however was rude. There were maybe 3 people at the bar and they all had drinks. She had gotten done with the last person and was finishing up the transaction on the palm reader. She then proceeded to walk past us twice, look at us looking at her, then walk by again. When she noticed we weren't going away she asked what we needed and took our order very annoyed. We ordered two shots a beer and a tequila tonic. They were meh and her attitude made it not worth it. The rooftop bar was self service so every time we wanted to get a drink we would have had to go downstairs to get it from the bar so we opted to just leave after our one shot and one drink each. We both liked the decor and the music though. There was plenty of backing around the back. The bathrooms were coed and clean.

We got here at around 8PM on a Tuesday night, and all sat/stood near the bar. Drinks were made and served very promptly. The bartenders definitely know their stuff and there are some classic cocktails here that are popular in other cities like NYC. I saw the sign for their private barrel 9yr Elijah Craig ($11/oz at 130.5 proof) and had to give it a shot. Deliciously strong with vanilla notes and very, very sippable. No regrets, would definitely get it again. Overall, great spot for cocktails that's nice and quiet, I'd come back.

They also have an upstairs with lots of comfortable chairs and a few sofas. The lights are dim making this bar feel like a cozy speakeasy. The drinks are priced great and made to order. We parked at the Binz Garage and walked in a beautiful Friday afternoon in Houston. I highly recommend that you go and enjoy your time at the Houston Watch Co.

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.

The space was also pretty cute and we liked the high top setup that was great for our group. Check them out!
