    Taking a round of shots with my ladies
    Jessica E.

    Stopped into this bar after brunch with my friends for my birthday. We had a great time. The vibe was great. The decorations inside are so nice and our bartender was phenomenal. It was my birthday, so the bartender asked what kind of shot I want to and my friend and I were like something fruity but cool. So he made up a drink that tasted like a starburst and also a cute little show by setting it on fire and sprinting. It was something that gave it a nice little toasted smell and taste. We liked it so much that the whole group ended up getting an order of them as well. We will definitely be stopping in again next time we're in the area.

    Cool casual bar/ lounge/chill vibe. Dark, low light. Loud R&B music playing. Seating options are: Bar, bar high top, booth, couch & outdoor patio seating. Cocktails are unique and quite good. No smoke- loved the coconut in this. Actually a little sweet, a very tasty enjoyable cocktail. Yardy know - like a variation of a margarita. It's good. Well balanced. Not your dad's old fashion - it definitely tastes like an old fashion. The hibiscus is just an addition to the old fashion flavor profile. Matcha ma call it - would nvr have ordered this but someone bought it for me. I've never had matcha tea before so I can't compare but this drink was surprisingly just a tasty cocktail. I don't even like mint & I enjoyed the drink. I like the vibe of this spot. I popped in for pre-dinner drinks so I didn't eat. But the owner told me his smash burger was voted best in Houston. I'll have to come back & try it. Before 7pm, smash burger & fries are $7 everyday!

    Absolutely love the vibe, the hipster decor, the music and the drinks are phenomenal. Dropped in before valentines dinner and didn't want to leave. Their house Old Fashioned is a great twist to the classic cocktail. I'm a Mezcal fan and the two on the menu worked for me. The bartenders make you feel welcome and offer an explanation for anything you are contemplating. They have an inviting patio which offers a great open air experience. Parking might be a challenge if not lucky enough to find a spot on premise. Overall, Jethro's is worth going out of your way to experience.

    Not your dad's old fashioned
    Anokhy D.

    We came late on a Friday night, found street parking immediately, and were able to sit in a booth of our choice without waiting. I was surprised this place wasn't packed given all the recent social media hype about it, but wasn't mad about being able to hear friends across the table. There was a live dj that night, the drinks were made quickly at the bar, and I enjoyed the overall vibe. We got the No Smoke (smokiness added from the mezcal) and Not your dad's old fashioned (strong). I also appreciated the pricing. Specialty cocktails cost money to make but the recent spike in cocktail pricing when the output does not necessarily meet the input has been too damn high in Houston! So shoutout to Jethro's for understanding what market price means and delivering on it. Will be back!

    Review #300! Jethro's gets the honor. A great neighborhood cocktail spot that's great for a date night or just a night out with friends. Parking is available in the small lot directly in front, the lot across the street, or along the surrounding streets. I've never had issues finding parking between these three options. Before 7pm every day, they offer a $7 special for burger and fries. It's a smashburger and is surprisingly decent for a $7 combo with fries, at a cocktail bar! I've told myself that I'm keeping this option in my back pocket for evenings that I feel too lazy to make my own food. Heck, that's even cheaper than fast food in today's world. The cocktails here are all great. The Cafe Con Ron is their version of an espresso martini and I've liked it. The Not Your Dad's Old Fashioned is their version of an OF with a bit of sweetness to it due to the whiskey being infused with hibiscus. Honestly not totally my jam so they were able to make me a Buffalo Trace old fashioned and I liked that a lot. The wine selection is also decent - on a night I wasn't feeling cocktails, I got a glass of their house red wine and had no complaints with it! The staff here has been friendly on all of my visits. Manny especially provides top notch service with a smile - I try to look for him to make my drinks whenever I come. Ask for him too - he's extremely nice! I have come here for Drag Bingo night (one Wednesday a month) and it is so much fun. Persephone is an excellent host and provides the best entertainment with prizes for the winners from the bar. Jethro's is a great spot to come chill with friends or a date over cocktails in a dark intimate setting. I'll surely be back often and while I love their $7 burger special, need to branch out one of these days to try other food items on their menu.

    parking available on both sides of bar plus across the street
    Jen S.

    A fantastic, little neighborhood bar with free parking. Staff is welcoming and if you're lucky enough to get Manny at the bar he can mix up any cocktail you want... even the off menu classics! I had the HH chocolate old fashioned and then off menu Paper plane, loved them both. Tried the $7 burger & fries before 7p and... wow! Burger was well seasoned, great sauce, and the bun is excellent. The fries- hot, crisp, perfectly salted! This is a small bar, so be mindful. It's not another large, mega bar. The vibe is cozy, welcoming neighbor. I loved it and can't wait to come back!

    Saw online that they were decorated for spooky season and couldn't wait to give it a try. Went for happy hour with coworkers and absolutely loved it! The decor was fab, the drinks were great, and the burger was deeeeelicious! I ordered the Sweet like Peach Tea and the Matcha-Ma-Call-It. Both so so good! Friend ordered the margarita and said it was nice and strong. We both ordered the $7 burgers before $7. The fries and burger were so good, I'm still thinking about them. The icing on the cake was the tarot card reader! We were about to leave when my friend pointed out the tarot card reader. Had an interesting $20 mini read. Great experience at Jethro's!

    Frozen carajillo
    Jordyn N.

    The frozen carajillo was good at first but got worse as I kept drinking, very bitter. The burger and fries was great though, and a very good happy hour deal.

    Chante N.

    love jethro's down! every time i visit, it's a great time! this is an exceptional craft cocktail bar. for the meat eaters, they have a burger and fries for $7 before 7p. their happy hour is also decent. there is parking in a free lot across the street. i would recommend giving jethro's a visit! bonné santé p.s. steer clear of the caesar salad... if you're a vegetarian just get the hummus or fries.

    Cheeseburger
    Taylor H.

    I went to HH and you have to try the cheeseburger and fries! It's $7 on HH and more than worth it. The best is toasted and buttered, burger smashed to perfection, and the pickles are fresh (more cucumber than pickles). Now I did have to rate a 4 instead of a 5 because the drinks were just Ok. They do allow children till 6.

    Tullamore Dew Irish Mule
    Jason D.

    I have learned long ago, that preparation is key to a good event. So before we went to the C&I YEW (Yelp Elite Week), we hit up Jethro's for some food and libations. It was the right move, thanks to Justin T. Parking. It's a small lot, some assigned for specific businesses, but street parking all around make it easy. None of our folks had a difficult time finding a place. Facility. The have a god sized outdoor patio, and at 4/4:30, nobody had taken any spots. Inside, its a bit darker. Nice mood setting, and plenty of seating. God for an intimate gathering or a date night. Service. Our host was Felicia. She handled our group of around 10 with ease, and excellent service. Drinks and food came out fast, and were very good. There were others behind the bar managing the front end as well, but Felicia was our main point of contact. The goods GREAT! They have good happy hour specials. Some frozen, most on the rocks. I liked them all. Amongst the three I had I would rate them favorite to least: Tullamore Dew Irish Mule, Roku Gin Gimlet, Redemption Bourbon Chocolate Old Fashioned. During Happy hour they have a Smashburger and Fries for $7. The burger was good, and the fries were very good (Like McDonalds but not as expensive). Overall very good experience, and will definitely be back!

    Signage for what to do
    Annalisa P.

    Jethro's is such a cool spot to hang out. My friends and I came here after dinner in Montrose. Parking is a little annoying because majority is across the street in a fenced in area. The "lot" is literally just that with a grassy area. It can be hard to see what you're stepping on late nights, so use your phone flashlight. I love the indoor/outdoor concept as well as all the bowling decor. I come from a family of bowlers, so it was cool to see bowling pins and bowling ball lamps and trophies throughout. There's a couple TVs above the bar to watch the game. They were still doing college basketball at the time. The seating is intimate with the booths. It's darker inside than on the patio area. I would've loved to try some of their food, but we had just eaten. If you get there before 7 pm, they have a cool deal called "7 before 7" which includes a smashburger and fries. I enjoyed the mocktails which were a good price point of $10. I had the Watermelon Fresca and loved the fresh watermelon slice on top and tajin around the rim. The Perfect Tea was my favorite, though. I enjoyed the zero proof gin with the raspberry tea and lime juice. Overall, I would come back here with friends or a date night. I want those cheese curds!!!

    Juan P.

    Place was empty and chill very good to just stop in if it's not busy and grab some food or a drink. The burger was very fresh the only down part for me is this is probably the first smash burger I've had with way too many onions, layers of onions in between both patties and on top of the patties . I will probably order with no onions next time . Overall it was great .

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.

I asked for something tropical and not too sweet. It was pretty good but not as complex as the catch 22. My husband liked the jaded merchant better than the dew drop. He also was sipping far too much of my mocktail which speaks volumes about how good it was. Love the moody vibes, drinks, and service.

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. There's only one or two bartenders working at one time so if there's multiple people with different drinks that are ordered, it will take a little bit longer.

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.
