Lilly & Bloom - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm a fan of this new Downtown Houston cocktail bar. Not only can you get a quality drink in a vintage-looking ambiance - but the staff is downright attentive and friendly. They have an assortment of craft cocktails - and $6 wines on tap. I wasn't a fan of the single white they had available, but you kinda can't beat that price for downtown. There's a lofted area with a lot of couch seating. This is is a great spot for dates or groups. They tend to fill up to capacity quickly, so don't get there too late in the evening. They don't have any snacks or bar food, but I did see a small party bring in pizzas from nearby, so that's obvi allowed. read more

This place is pretty swanky, yo! I didn't even know that this place existed until I went with a friend who was celebrating her friend's birthday here. We arrived around 10 pm on a Saturday and there wasn't any line or issues to get in. A lot of people were dressed nice, but I was in my typical shirt, jeans, and leather sneakers. As the night went on, the place became packed but I didn't have any issues trying to get drinks from the bar. The bartenders were on top of their games! I was drinking Main & Co all night, which was a mix of whiskey, tequila, and some other stuff they put in there. It was delicious and definitely packed a punch. For $12, it was worth it. To me, this place has the potential to be the starting point of a good night out. Get some drinks and look at some beautiful people before I become a sloppy drunk. If you haven't checked this place out, I recommend that you do. read more

What a hidden gem! I don't get to lower downtown too often and can't keep up with all the places. I went to a post-event happy hour at Lily & Bloom and wasn't sure what to expect. It was a very cute, historical/antique looking - yet upscale - cozy bar with a second level balcony. Kind of a speakeasy vibe. The drinks were all craft cocktails (plus I think wine and beer) and the drink menu was very impressive. No one in our group could decide so thankfully the bartenders all made excellent recommendations. I loved my Pina Reliever. I was a little like an non-sweet pina colada, but very sophisticated and had a definite kick. Service was very thorough and professional, but the drinks do take a little while to make and garnish. It was that was across the board with all of the cocktails. We were there on an off night (Sunday) so there was street parking available and the area was fairly quiet. I'm sure they are crowded on weekends and perhaps during weekday happy hours. Only somewhat negative was that they don't have any snacks at all. However, they will let you order or bring food from neighboring businesses so you could easily Favor over a few bites if you're famished! read more

Attended at networking event here last night. It was a good vibe with delicious craft cocktails. Affordable happy hour prices. Great bartenders read more

A group of Yelpers and I came in on Friday after the Decades Dance Event at the new Etro next door. The space is quaint with seating areas and the bar. The DJ played really good hip hop music because he had the girls dancing half the night. There was a nice mixed crowd in there who all seemed pretty chill. We were probably the most rowdiest since we had been drinking at Etro before coming over! I would definitely come back with some friends again for drinks and some good music! read more

Came across this place for Happy Hour and while visiting Houston. I would go again. Drinks were great. The Paloma was Fresh, the bubbly was delish, and the bartender Chase even made me a cocktail off the menu that was incredible. The place is quaint. Super chill. Can be a after-work drink location or even a date spot. Great ingredients. Friendly staff. Great options. read more

Best bar down town! The perfect spot for happy hour. Cheapest drinks on Main Street! There's no better bartender than AK!!

Ask Tamara for the "Human" excellent service and an even better drink! Wonder time for my first night in Houston! Lilly & Bloom is a dive beer located in the heart of Downtown Houston! read more

Lilly & Bloom - Phenomenal Service! Great drinks, even better environment! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is the breath of fresh air that Main Street needs. Think a bigger, less crowded, classier commoner (but no dancing unfortunately at the moment). Classy cocktail list. Big comfy leather couches. Hip hop playing on a Friday. No one pushing. A border line lounge atmosphere, so you'll see anything from girls dressed to the nines to guys in shorts. I'll definitely be back. read more

Oh! I haven't reviewed Lilly & Bloom yet?! I love this bar, I love the music and the special DJs they bring on in here. Hosted my boyf's birthday here two months ago and everyone had a blast :) read more

I've been coming here for over 2 years and I have to say Rachel gives THE BEST rim jobs. Periodt. If you come here and order a michelda make sure Rachel is your rimmer. read more

So sad this place has changed a lot. It used to be a cocktail bar and now it's more of a club. The barstools are gone. I asked for a cocktail menu and they said they don't have them anymore. Strange. Perhaps a name change is in order because this does not feel like the same place. read more

Very chic and classy cocktail bar geared towards your late 20's and up crowd. Be prepared to pay $9 and up for a cocktail. They have a lot of seating areas with couches and lounge chairs for groups of 4-6 which is nice. I don't think they'd deny you entrance wearing jeans, but be a darling and put on your grown man pants. read more

No cocktail menu. Bartender didn't know anything about the alcohol on the shelves or how to make a drink. Also didn't know what a dark & stormy is. Place was deserted and I understand why. read more

A cool bar located at the end of night club row. They've got a bunch of comfortable couches and lounge chairs. An impressive selection of spirits and beers. The bartender 'Danger' (how could you forget a name like that?) was super friendly and helpful in telling us more about downtown and where (and where not) to go. A chill place that is geared more towards the 30 something crowd. read more

We ended up here at the last minute when the Bar we planned to visit on our Date Night was super packed & required Reservations, LOL. I loved the rustic interior, the original brick walls & the Chandeliers. They have an upstairs Loft area with a big TV so Hubby could catch the Playoff Game. It has an eclectic, vibe with a mash up of furniture but it works. Drinks were poured nicely.They didn't have his preferred Scotch but he was able to find something he enjoyed. Will definitely come again. read more

Let me just say, this is a very popular bar and a lot of people crowd into the little space they have. I think if your in your 20s you probably will not mind standing in an endless line trying to get drinks. Looks to me like you would have a good chance meeting someone here. Lots of single people here but, this place is no stranger to couples either. If I was 25 and looking to hook up I would probably go to this bar often. Since I'm 41 and not trying to do any hook ups this isn't the place for me. Just too crowded. I hate having to wait in a sea of people to get a drink. The one drink I did have was excellent. Crown Coke was so good. They did have excellent bar staff. Just didn't want to wait to get another one. Great bar for the young crowd in my opinion. read more

Did you know that if you went past Hotel Icon, there are three more bars? I had no idea. Absolutely none. But I'm glad I decided to drop by Lilly & Bloom, because the cocktails are delicious and creative. I had the Pina reliever - rum, fresh pinapple, lime, coconut, and orange bitters- so refreshing and fruity, but not overpowering in the least. It was a great tiki drink . I had the rum runner next - it was a little more boozy than the pina reliever, but I enjoyed it a lot. The bartenders/owner were friendly and there is plenty of space to sit or stand. The bar itself is beautifully put together and there was an elegant/hipster/vintage feel to the entire space. There are also several TVs for the sports fans, including a lofted area with couches and a flat screen tv. Walk a little further from your usual path and who knows what you'll find. :) read more

Love this spot! A hidden gem in the midtown area. Staff of extremely friendly! Drinks always hit the spot. Great for any occasion. The interior gives almost a classy Gatsby vibe. And the owner throws cute little themed event nights absolutely worth seeing! read more

Cool bar located in the downtown Houston area. The bar is a littler farther than all of the other central downtown bars but only a short walk. Cool bar and great mixed cocktails. I think the wine is a little over priced for not being the best wine. read more

This bar is amazing. Just go. The place is super sexy on the inside. My friends and I come here all the time for the delicious craft cocktails and happy hour specials. It's totally worth a visit if you're in the downtown area. And even if you're not. read more

My favorite bar in downtown! You definitely feel the historic Houston vibe inside and the craft cocktail menu is fantastic! They bring in great local DJs regularly so each night has a slightly different format and stays fresh. You can get on the floor and dance with your friends or sit back and relax on an antique couch. Always a super chill and eclectic crowd! read more

Great cocktail bar! My friends and I came here for our monthly girls night one Friday night. We came for happy hour and stayed until 10. Their green tea shot was hands down the best shot I have ever had! Plus, the bartenders were super friendly and the atmosphere of the bar is great. We were able to get tacos from down the street and eat them at the bar with our cocktails before it got crazy. We will definitely be returning! read more

Myself, Husband, and a couple of friends showed up here about 8:30 PM on a Friday. The place wasn't packed at all. We seated ourselves at the bar, checked out the menu and tried to figure out what we wanted. The male bartender that helped us out was the most unpleasant person ever. You would think because it was so slow he'd be friendly, helpful, talk about the menu a bit, maybe even bring up a thing or two about the bar. Nope. Just wanted to get our drink orders over with and then carry on with his evening. After this we placed our super basic drink orders and then seated ourself away from the bar. Super cool looking place, would love to visit again but with such crappy service we'll go elsewhere. Lots of places on Main at least. read more

Nice atmosphere , good music and Great drinks! If you are bar hopping downtown this is a must.

I had the most smiley princess bartender chase! Paloma's are best in town good music good prices definitely will come back read more

Lilly & Bloom - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

One of the best bars in downtown. Always something cool going on. I highly recommend.

I give it two stars because the space is beautiful and the cocktail list is unique. Went in last night and ordered a cocktail for hubs and a glass of wine for me. Bartender couldn't find the $20 half bottle of cote du Rhone I ordered and yelled out "who orders wine here?" As if her unfamiliarity with the menu was somehow my fault. I ended up with about a half glass of some other kind of wine. I don't need to spend that kind of money with a bunch of judgey millennials. Will not be back. read more

Best place in downtown Houston. Ask for Bill, he will treat you like for VIP. Can't wait to go back!

Lovely cocktail bar in the downtown Houston area! The cocktail drinks are made pretty well here. If you need a safe recommendation for a solid sweet tasting drink, get the Lady Montenegro. Cocktails are at an average price of $9-12. Apparently this place is fairly new but I see them doing very well. I love the setup and look of the place and even the house music they were playing was nice. Come for $6 cocktails during happy hour 5-8pm read more

Great drinks awesome bartenders. Drinks are unique. Gets busy after 12. Great patio. Upscale feel midscale prices

Great bar. The bartenders are great at their respective craft, and are very creative in constructing specialty drinks. I would recommend this bar if you're bringing friends into Main St. for a few drinks and would like to have space to relax. read more

From the moment you walk into this bar you'll notice something different. Not only are you greeted by the friendly bartenders but once you glance at the selection on the shelves, one call tell they mean business. Their menu doesn't disappoint either. From the well crafted booze-forward cocktails to the light and airy with a kick at the end, there's something for everyone. Lilly and Bloom is no exception to the amazing atmosphere and uniqueness downtown offers. Set in a historical build out, it's sure to become a downtown staple in no time. read more

This place has become one of my favorite bars in Houston! It's location and decor is a much-needed escape from the crazy crowds that can sometimes take over Main Street. The bar staff is always smiling and coming up with delicious new cocktails to try and they almost always have some sort of drink special going on. Definitely check it out if you're looking for VIP treatment and crafty cocktails in the downtown area. read more
