Drinks are top notch, authentic flavors, and the atmosphere is perfect. Best tiki in town and I've tried them all but keep coming back here despite the 45min drive from my house. read more

If you're looking for an authentic tiki experience, this is the place. Their drinks are excellent and the staff is highly knowledgeable about types of rum. Our server gave us a run down on tiki cocktail creators and a historical context of how tiki drinks came to be. It was a cocktail nerd's dream to get an impromptu lesson on this stuff (I am more of a whisky drinker, myself. A lot of what he told us was new to me). If youre looking for a quiet spot to have a long conversation and sip your drink though, this is not the place. The space is pretty noisy. The back patio gives some respite for sensitive ears.... But otherwise the vibes are nice with lots of festive lighting, tiki masks, grass skirt borders, and some of their drink garnishes even light up as well. Had a great time hear and would come back before a night out dancing with friends read more

The cutest little bar ever, my friend recommended this place and it was the perfect date night. Bartenders were personable and were very thorough with drink recommendations. I am a sucker for presentation and every drink ordered looked so beautiful. read more

Lei Low is an absolute treasure and it feels like you are stepping into a tropical paradise and not in Houston, TX! The decor, dim lighting and laid-back vibe make it perfect for starting your night with a few drinks. The service is always outstanding, and while it may get busy at time the bartenders are very quick and are always more than happy to help you pick from the drink menu. All the cocktails are phenomenal with the zombie and painkiller are must-tries! Not into fruity drinks, no worry they have some beer on the menu as well. Lei Low is definitely worth the visit! read more

Lei Low - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

Lei Low is always a blast. Although I'm sometimes confused by the setup, the bartenders are always extremely pleasant and happy to answer any questions. I have been there twice in a space of a month. I've never been to Hawaii but I'm certain that it has a feel of it. Be sure to Uber because parking is pretty difficult. I have tried only two drinks on their menu. The first one was a blended drink ''missionary's downfall.' I had seen the bartender make it with fresh fruit and inquired about it. It was a blended drink and although it was good, I wanted something that had less texture. The second drink knocked it out of the park for me. LAST RITES. Don't think about it. Just get the last rites. If you're an aesthetic person, this is the perfect drink. It comes with a lit lemon. If you're a taste person, this is also a perfect drink because it's delicious!!! Definitely a solid 5 star. read more

Lei Low - Last Rites. Soooo good! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is the cutest little Tiki Bar hidden in a strip mall. I loved my experience at Lei Low. Don't miss this spot. The drinks were delicious! I started with a Port Light - nicely balanced and not too sweet. I finished with a bartender's choice mocktail. I told her I liked the funky syrups of Tiki drinks and she delivered. It came in the cutest shark mug dripping with "blood." I really appreciated the bartender making me an off-menu mocktail and making it fun. The mocktail revolution is so needed and appreciated. I came during December and it was decorated for the holidays. I loved their collection of beach Santas! Really cute decor. They have happy hour deals each day. Parking is limited outside but I Ubered so I don't know all the options. Defiantly add this spot to your Tiki travels list. read more

Lei Low - Mai Tai & Rum and Coke - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place seems to have a cult following and people love it. It really wasn't for me and I guess I just didn't get it. The smell was just horrible. Chlorine or some intense cleaning products were extremely overused. I didn't get why you wait in line to order drinks. It's a small place that could have servers. So you order and then wait outside to be called in to sit at bar seats? I wish we'd stayed outside. The menu was weird. I just got one of the more basic rum drinks. Would have liked a vodka drink but the line was too long to try to figure out what that would be. I did appreciate how nice the staff was, especially the hostess. read more

Needless to say I will definitely be coming back and a great spot for something different. Not too loud and incredible bartenders. Next time I'll be wearing my Hawaiian shirt !!! read more

Lei Low is such a great tiki bar. It's a mix of neighborhood bar and a transport to paradise. Located next to a convenience store, looks like an unoccupied space, don't blink or you'll miss it. Once inside, you're immediately greeted with traditional tiki decor and bartenders ready make your perfect tiki drink. The vibe is fun and the music is great. It's very busy on weekend nights, traffic is directed to the back patio to wait anywhere from 30-40 minutes. Drinks can be ordered and taken to the patio. The drinks are fun, there is something for everyone. Tiki drinks are served in tiki mugs. My favorite is Barefoot in the Sand- it's delicious if you love banana. Lei Low is definitely a must visit for tiki fans! read more

Have you ever found a place that you ONLY want to keep to yourself because the vibe is just vibing?!?! Yeah this is one of those places. Bartenders make the strongest yet affordable drinks. I find myself sunk into a couch in the corner near the restrooms. It's a great place to people watch. Every-time I've been there's been a DJ spinning a mix of classic hip hop/r&b, Afro beats, and all things that make your head nod. I've heard they have great food. But have yet to try it. I will on my next visit. read more

Tiki Dive Bars are great and Lei Low is well above the average. The drinks I had were amazing. You can pay extra to keep your Tiki cup/glass if you want. The bartenders are so awesome here.. I really dont know how they do it, all of the drinks take so much work and time and yet they are able to keep a busy bar moving. If youre in the heights hit up Lei Low. read more

This place is a hidden Gem! My friend recommended it and I was not disappointed. The beers were ok and they didn't have any crown or gin that i liked so minus a few points for that but the vibes and atmosphere were on point! And they even had a table full of concha's (pan dulce or sweet bread) that was complimentary! There was also a DJ there that was playing like Spanish reggae music which was great. This place is great for a date but not if you want to talk much because it was very loud. I felt that the music could have been turned down a bit. Over all though it was a cool spot with great decor! I would for sure go again and you should check it out too! read more

Lei Low has quickly become my favorite spot for drinks in Houston! The tropical Hawaiian theme is so fun and they really did a great job with the ambiance and decorating the space. Cocktails are 5/5 perfect. I would recommend the missionary if you like a refreshing minty fruity drink. They have a great happy hour - $7 select cocktails (and i think u get HH price anytime if you wear a hawaiian shirt). Great service with friendly bartenders. Parking is tough sometimes because the lot is small but I have had no issues parking in the neighborhood behind and walking over. read more

I. Love. This. Tiki. Bar!!! The vibe scream fun rum good times. I definitely need to come back more often so I can officially try every drink but I tend to gravitate towards anything with that macadamia nut liqueur. All their drinks sound delicious so it's always an adventure choosing a drink but everything I've gotten is delicious. Staff is nice, mainly order at the bar, and parking is tight so come early or park on the street. Wear your luau shirt and come party here! read more

Continues to be one of my favorite bars in Houston, if not the world. Drinks are delicious and fairly priced for how complicated tiki drinks are. They decorate for the holidays and it's very festive. I recommend parking a street off of and parallel to Main Street to avoid any angry non-tiki neighbors. read more

Once you walk in, you feel like you've stepped into tiki bar luau heaven. Adorned with all things Hawaii, you will find coastal decor with tasty tropical, fruity drinks in various cute seashell, shark, or coconut cups! It's a whole Hawaiian vibe that I absolutely enjoyed with friends. It isn't too loud inside so you can have intimate conversations with company. Expect lots of rum cocktails, but there are also other yummy cocktails like the one I had called the Fuera Del Mundo which has tequila reposado and mezcal in it. And oh yes, if you wear a Hawaiian shirt, you get a discount on drinks! Aloha! read more

This place irks me. As a business owner, watching everyone with empty drinks while service is incredibly inefficient is hard. How much more money could you be making? Ooooph, concept is good. A lot of profit sits lost. read more

They let people smoke inside here. Gross. Drinks are cheaply made but over priced for what it is. Mid overall.

Lei Low is this wonderful, tucked away tiki bar right inside the north loop. Stepping inside this bar is stepping into a totally different world. The entire atmosphere takes you to this awesomely fitted tiki bar- it passes all the vibe checks. The drinks are absolutely astounding! My fiancé is literally obsessed with their piña coladas and swears they are the best he has ever had. I had a safety drink my first time here- a ranch water- and it is the best ranch water I have ever had! I ventured out of my comfort zone and went with a Mai Tai the next time and now I have my obsession drink for when I return. It knocked me on my butt in the best way and was perfectly balanced between the sweet taste of the fruit and the smooth rum. If you like great drinks and need the tiki vibe without leaving Houston, you must try Lei Low! read more

Lei Low - The Mai Tai- so tropical and beautifully delicious! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

Want Tiki? Well, you don't have to go the islands to enjoy. Nestled in a small strip center (blink and you'll miss it,) you will find Lei Low. The name is so appropriate. When we arrived, there was small wait thanks to fire code. After a group came out, we were allowed to go in -- it was packed. We ordered some drinks and stood until some seating opened. After 15 minutes or so, a corner of the bar opened where we ended up parking. We ordered a oogo booga (I think) as well as another drink that was on fire. I also ordered the rum barrel. All of the drinks were a mix of art and deliciousness. The ooga booga experience was pretty cool as the whole bar started shouting oogo booga as it was delivered. Pretty funny and cool. My only gripe about the place is also part of its charm. It is a small place. That also means very limited convenient parking. If you're looking for a great tiki bar, stop by this place! read more

I loved this place because I am from Hawaii and this was honestly a very good representation of it! I went for my bday and had a good time with my bestie The only thing is, the bar is located in an area that doesn't have good parking. There's probably only 5 - 10 or so parking spots for the bar. So you'll most likely have to find a parking spot on the street somewhere down the road. One thing I really enjoyed was the way they spiced the drinks up with the unique glasses and the added goodies inside- it's giving a VERY authentic Hawaiian feel for sure. Feels like home ‍ read more

Amazing atmosphere and staff. It was raining and we were going to walk here but had to drive. Parking is horrible but the vibe and drinks were great. I ordered an off menu drink and they accommodated and made it perfectly. We will definitely be back and hopefully get to walk next time to avoid the parking situation. read more

Lei low is such a cute "hidden" tiki bar. I was surprised at how good (and strong) their drinks were. I was iffy at first because I'm not usually one for very sweet drinks but these were really good. I also came in here with a Hawaiian themed dress and got discounts for drinks! The main caveat is the parking. There's very limited space in the front but there's parking around the street. Uber is probably the best option! read more

I literally stumbled across this place by accident, we were going to the smoke shop next-door when we noticed a little bar right next-door. My friend and I decided to give it a try, and we really weren't expecting much when we walked in. To our surprise, the interior of the bar was Hawaiian theme and very well decorated, nothing like we would've expected given the exterior. I forget what we ordered, but it was creamy and delicious and the sweetness was not overbearing or overwhelming, it was just the right amount of everything. We made our way outside, as we wanted to smoke. The outdoor seating area was divine. They had a fountain going, bamboo in the back with awesome signs and seating that look like airdropped cargo. All very cool! I Would definitely recommend to anybody in the area! read more

Came here for all day HH on Wednesday and got the painkiller and blue Hawaiian for $6.50 each. So cheap! The painkiller was awesome--strong and not too sweet. The blue Hawaiian was good but definitely on the sweet side and didn't taste as fancy as the painkiller. They have 6 HH drinks so I'll definitely be back to have the rest. The cocktails are quite fancy compared to your typical tropical tiki bar drink. FYI, if you don't look closely enough, you might miss the bar from outside! Once you're inside, the place turns out to be larger than it looks, though it is still on the smaller side. There is also a small area outside with benches and stands but no tables. Overall, we really enjoyed the bar. Bonus points for the art/decor. Would come weekly if I didn't live so far! read more

I came here for drinks on a Thursday night. It is such a great hidden gem. One of my friends who is a Houston local knew about it and said any hour there is happy hour if you wear a Hawaiian shirt, which is an amazing deal. Over the course of the night, we tried the Missionary's Downfall, Lions Tail, and the Mystery Bowl, but we all decided that the Blue Hawaiians were our favorites. The Mystery Bowl was fun to do once, but I do not think we would do it again. Overall, a great tiki bar! read more

The atmosphere is like none other for sure. Never been to a place like this, even in Hawaii. You have to take photos of every drink as the are all works of art. I'd say the drinks are a little on the weak side, for paying $15 for most. But you are paying for atmosphere. read more

You say last call at 145 am. I finish my drink then go up to get one last one I close my tab at 1:48 AM but you say sorry we can't serve you anymore like what??? Also manager was rude to her coworkers. Yelling at them when they were trying to help out other patrons. read more

It had been several years since I visited Lei Low and I was long overdue. This tiki bar is located in a nondescript part of The Heights in a nondescript shopping center shared with a gas station and smoke shop. There are only four or five parking spots or so which means you'll probably have to find street parking. When you arrive, it looks like crap from the outside. To the point where you wonder if you're at the right spot. Hold on, it's worth it. Once you walk in, you feel like you've been transported to Hawaii. Tropical decor adorns the walls. There are dim lights. Several spots along the bar and some booths. They don't have waiters so you go up to the bar and they call your name when your cocktail is ready. They don't have food here minus two snack options but they know why you're here: for the tropical cocktails. There are probably 30 or so cocktails to choose from with a lot of them being rum options. These are craft cocktails so it will take a little bit but the bartenders work hard. On my most recent visit, I came by on a Thursday night and the bar was almost full. It's not a large bar so I'm sure it can get a little hectic on a Friday or Saturday night. They have happy hour from 4-6 and special discounts Monday-Wednesday. All three of my cocktails were interesting. Some were too sweet for my taste but I appreciated the creativity. They have your classic mai tai and blue hurricane but the tropical cocktails extend well beyond that. They also have drinks that you can share with two, three, or four people. These are pretty wild. My friend and I shared the one for two and it was served in a clam with a banana sculpted to resemble a dolphin smoking a cigar. There were also little toy mermaids in our drink...incredible. The drinks are sweet but they do pack a punch. Great spot for a night out and also for a date. read more
