    Great authentic Cuban food. Nice service. Made in house with love. Cools views of the city, great area if your in the mood for a variety of cool spots and drinks. We had breakfast which was the most reasonable in the city. Parking may be a problem so walk down!

    Already 1/3 of the way through it before I remembered to get a pic. Chicken empanada and the pork bowl. So good!!!

    They may just have opened a week or two ago, but they seem like an experienced veteran team. Food was delicious and very reasonable. It was even more reasonable with their $7 grand opening bowls special. The ambiance is a little sterile (they tried to make it have a Cuban vibe, but the previous design made it a lot to over come). It's not like it's a sit down so wasn't an issue. Only flub was I ordered a chicken empanada, but instead received a guava one, she must have read my mind that I was interested in how the guava tasted. Ended up being a good mistake. Definitely coming back.

    Shredded chicken breast.

    I've stopped by once before and it was a great experience again. I wanted to chill with my dog…read moresomewhere and remembered that this place allows dogs inside. They also have dog bowls and water for your pups if needed. The bartender/owner was great, she let me try a beer before committing and checked on me several times during my stay there. It's nice to see they added more seating and more personal touches to the place. There's artwork to purchase on the walls, more tvs, additional cans of seltzer or thc drinks if that's more of your style. I love how it's locally owned and brewed. They were having smoked wings. 6 for $10 or 10 for $15. Comes with chips, carrots/celery and ranch. They were quite smokey, a lil salty but still delicious. The vibes are chill and they had football on. All and all a great place to stop by for a beer.

We ended up being mostly the only ones in the brew house for most of the evening which was a surprise, we enjoyed the beers and the service. There is a local brewery that is inside the brew house, Turkey Forrest Brewing. We enjoyed the hazy IPA, cream ale, and a watermelon tajin ale they had on tap. They also have beers and canned beverages from a variety of other places and popular canned drinks too, to suit any preference. My boyfriend and I had a really fun time playing board games they had available and chilling out. There were also Halloween movies and a playlist playing. Seems like we were there on a slow night, they appear to have events throughout the week such as a run club and bingo nights. Definitely a fun, chill option in the area!

We enjoyed a glass or two of wine, tossed some darts, and soaked in the relaxed, unpretentious vibe. It is casual in the right way. Easy to talk, easy to stay, and not trying too hard to be anything other than a solid local bar. The real highlight, though, is Posty the bar cat. An adorable black and white cat who clearly runs the place. Getting to know Posty outside was an unexpected and genuinely charming moment that made the stop memorable. If you are a cat person, this alone will win you over. Even if you are not, it is hard not to smile. Great drinks, darts, friendly energy, and a bar cat that steals the show. Post Beer & Wine is exactly the kind of place you hope to find when hopping around Houston, and absolutely worth a stop even if you are not on a crawl.

There's no bad seat in the house. If you're coming here for any kind of championship sports event, come early and get your seat cause it gets packed. You also avoid waiting in line for ID check. We got there 2-3 hours early, ordered drinks and ordered food from the food trucks. The taco truck's street tacos were so good, but it was a 40-45 minute wait that day...and it was SO HOT out. You get a buzzer, so there's no point in waiting by the truck. Might be quicker on other regular days, though. The burger food truck was quicker, but I wasn't in the mood for it. There's a variety of seating for whatever you prefer - picnic table, iron table, bar table, and cushioned patio lounge chairs. The servers checked in often and brought the drinks out. There's a free water station with cups. Restrooms are down one end. Ironically, on the game day, the women's restroom line moved quicker than the men's! Lol. Great place to hang out and catch a game!

    I'm not a huge fan of pizza and hardly ever crave it, but Gypsy Poet is hands down one of the best…read morepizza I've ever had. This location is casual and has plenty of seating (tables, bar + outdoor seating). You order at the counter and typically wait around 20 minutes for the pizza to be ready. It can definitely get busy which makes parking a bit tricky, but I've always managed to get parking in the lot. My go-to is the fancy backpacker. I've only tried the Pepperoni Madness and Fancy Backpacker. The crust is perfectly thin and the toppings pair well together. I would also recommend adding pepperoni to the Fancy Backpacker. Gypsy Poet is always consistent with the taste and service, you can always expect a good experience in both aspects. I think it definitely lives up to the title of having the best pizza in Houston and is one of my favorite go-to dinner spots!

Similar but also different feels in the heights. Our group made a pickup order online and it was still a bit of a wait when we got there. (Place was packed though, lots of families out on a Saturday night so totally get it) The pizza here is always impressive and one of the better options in Houston imo (limited choices though haha), fresh ingredients like basil in every box is a good value add.. the hot honey on top is a must for me and complement pretty much all their pizzas. My friend ordered 4 kinds and also added an order a dessert pizza (Nutella) and it was dangerously good.. They also got a good selection of drinks from wine to brews to non-alcoholic options. They do have a small patio, seating is limited as previously mentioned. It's counter service; Parking lot is a bit tight and it's in the heights so definitely a caution. Overall, I'd say it's a good pizza joint but definitely need to factor in the wait, the parking and costs before you go.
