    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.

Great date night vibes. No TVs in here just a warning if you want to escape the World Cup games and crowds.

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

I wanted something flavorful but pretty forfilling, I looked over the menu and decided to go with their loaded fries. This place was pretty divey but laid back. The seating not do bad! Only difference was it was in the middle of downtown so you had to look for parking. It was within walking distance from a few clubs and residential property. Those fries did not disappoint! I can not wait to try there other menu items. The cupcakes the young lady was going around saleing was the cherry on top!

    "A Cocktail Bar That Educates as Much as It Impresses"…read more Houston Watch Co. is everything a great cocktail bar should be. Intimate, thoughtfully designed, and centered around true craftsmanship, it delivers an experience that feels both elevated and welcoming. We started the night with Negronis, which were beautifully balanced and spirit forward. For our next round, my girlfriend ordered an espresso martini that was smooth, rich, and perfectly dialed in. I had the Pray That You Catch Me, made with gin, ginger liqueur, honey, and lemon. Bright, refreshing, and layered, it was the kind of drink that feels simple on the surface but reveals real complexity with every sip. What truly set this place apart was the bartenders. They were incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely enthusiastic about what they do. They took time to explain ingredients, techniques, and flavor profiles, and were more than happy to teach us a few things without ever sounding condescending. That level of passion and approachability elevates the entire experience. The back bar is stunning and sets the tone the moment you walk in. Rows of well curated spirits paired with warm lighting create a space that feels refined but comfortable. It is easy to settle in and enjoy the moment here. Service was attentive, polished, and never rushed. Every drink arrived with care, and every interaction felt intentional.

This place is loaded with great people. This place is loaded with great bourbon. This place is loaded with great drinks at very great prices. As soon as walked in the bartender greeted us. We were told we needed to order at the bar but that we could sit anywhere. Houston Watch Co. has a downstairs bar surrounded by bar stools to sit. 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.

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!
