    Not a bad bar or lounge area. Parking is good. They have food truck outside that's different every time so check their schedule. They have a lot of interesting areas decorated, to chill. Bartenders and the servers do a good job at getting your drinks to you quickly. We went during a slow time and there was barely anyone there. Hoping it was going to be a lot more lit.

    You've been warned that this is a Philadelphia Eagles bar with the Eagles flag and swag displayed outside and inside. So if you root for any other NFC east teams, you may be met with some friendly hostility (depending how the birds are performing). With that said, the set up of the place has indoor high tops, lounging tables and couches, and outdoor seating with soft chairs/couches and tvs playing. There's also an upstairs area that gives an overview of the surroundings. As with most Houston bars in the Heights area, the focus is seasonal crafted cocktails. For the winter, there's a couple of good ones such as the grinch (cucumber, lime, mint, tequila) which is refreshing. The pumpkin ol fashion is also a popular one; sadly they're always sold out of it whenever I try to order it. Bartenders are attentive and do a solid job getting your drinks to you. As for food, there is a food truck outside with a rotation schedule on their website. Reminds me a lot of other bars in the Heights area with the set up, parking situation, and location. Not a bad bar.

    Came here back in December 2023, just before Christmas. The place was all decked out in Christmas cheer. Including Christmas trees, drinks, staff, and lights. Located on the white oak bayou trail. It was a pretty large group of Yelpers + other folks that came here for some fun casual day drinking and celebrate the holidays. Sort of an informal UYE. We started out by the bar on the first floor, but eventually, our group went up to the tree house to perch out. It wasn't a super clear day, so views of skyline were just ok. Parking - I easily found parking, but I was there very early, way before the crowd. I like that they have a designated lot. If i return, it would be during daylight hours again, so I don't have to fight to figure out parking outside of the lot. Drinks - I like that they had a festive drink menu. My first drink was "Mrs. Clause", probably my favorite of the 3. My second drink, French 76B, is not on the seasonal menu, but on there regular menu. I know this is a little nitpicky, but all the pics from the reviews it seemed like a darker shade of purple than mine. Almost like I had too much champagne and not enough gin/lemon, so it wasn't as well balanced. My third drink was back to the seasonal menu, "It's Giving", it was fine, not as good as the first. I think all the drinks would be worth it for happy hour. Service - was fine. Different bartenders each time I ordered downstairs on the first level. No one stood out, but no one ruined the vibe either. My first bartender did offer suggestions, which I appreciated. The crowd picked up the longer we stayed. I like that they had a water cooler upstairs in the tree house, so we didn't need to ask for it, self-serve. Tons of in and outdoor seating all over the establishment. I would say great for groups. Overall, I think our group had a good time. Would I come back? Sure, if friends suggested it again. But with the caveat of during the day for ease of parking, to enjoy the patio and its outdoor activities.

    Atmosphere is cool and perfect place to watch a game. We enjoyed our visit with a nice cool weather today. It's mostly outside but half of it has roof over. Also, dog friendly. Food seems to be only by a food truck. Has full bar. A little loud with the game and being outside, but wasn't bad for a game day.

    A friend and I were looking for a casual patio bar to go to and decided we'd check out Patterson Park. Both the inside and the patio were already pretty busy when we arrived at about 6:30PM on a Friday evening but we were able to find two seats at the bar. It was still happy hour at 6:30 so we ordered two Deep Eddy's drinks with the bartender. The bartender working was quick to get us our drinks and was also very friendly! Overall, this was a fun place to start the evening! We'd definitely visit again!

    This is one of the dog friendly places I researched. One of my favorite places. We always go early to mid-afternoon so we've never encountered the parking or crowding problems others have mentioned. The employees have always been cordial. Not overly friendly but not standoffish either. They let you have your space but don't pester you. We take a dog or two. Sit up on the second floor where there's usually a breeze. We get the vegetation from the bayou behind and the spectacular view of downtown to the fore. Bartender lady makes a perfect Campari spritz. BF is not as picky as I am about what to drink but again is also harder to please, does this make sense? So I'll usually grab him a Crawford bock. Food trucks almost always have something I can eat (I'm celiac) and are almost always presenting tasty fare. If not, I can have french fries. If they have tacos, I've hit the jackpot. Sometimes there are other doggos to say hello to as well as their owners. Love this place. I think I'll go there tomorrow afternoon. Here's hoping there's a breeze.

    Great patio bar tucked back on Patterson near the Heights on Houston. Great place to get the pups out. Plenty of great drinks including thc options for those abstaining from the sauce which is what I went for! One of my favorite happy hour spots for sure!

    We didn't spend much time inside since there was a football game on and it was packed. When we first came in we saw the food trucks out front and were carded to get in, which made me happy to know there wouldn't be kids (sorry! Lol). We kinda stood at the bar until someone gave us a drink menu vs being greeted but that's ok. The drinks were good. Once we got our drinks we went straight outside to the patio. There were tons of seating, large tvs, and heaters (cold day). A few little pups out there so dog friendly but no smoking which was another plus. I believe there was a downstairs area but we didn't go. We did go upstairs and it was a nice view of the city, a small bar and tables with seating, heaters and tvs. It was overall a positive experience and not a club bar vibe which was what we wanted, just a chill night.

    Lots of good drinks and so much patio space. Great chill place to go for drinks especially on a nice day. They always have rotating food trucks that are good too!

    $5 mimosas and there dangerous hahah. I wouldn't recommend there cocktails as they were super sweet. Went on a sunday and had the worst bartender extremely rude lady . I went to a different one the second time and had a guy which was a lot nicer! Love the inside and outside of the bar super cool place. The design of the building is pretty great! The taco truck is sooo yummy but expensive and not alot of food for what you pay for.

    Cute spot! Great view of the city from upstairs, dog friendly anywhere except inside. Will be interesting to see what they do with the upper deck, as it will soon be too hot to use. Could have had more tables upstairs, lots of space but you have to stand on the edge if you want to put your drink down. They had valet and a parking lot... but it was a mess. I would recommend walking, biking or ride share at least til things calm down.

    Liz N.

    Love our new neighborhood bar! But I would highly encourage walking if you can, biking, or getting an Uber. They have bike racks and bikers get 10% off! Happy hour is from 2-7 PM and all drinks are $1 off. They haven't started their daily specials yet since they just opened yesterday. Parking spots are limited and it was SO packed by the time we left (around 6 pm). This is a huge and open spaced bar though. Hubby got some beers and I got the Schwayze and booker tea. Both were really good and refreshing on a hot day. The schwayze is basically an alcoholic Shirley temple and the booker tea is an alcoholic Arnold Palmer. They have food trucks set up outside everyday. Today we tried melt on wheels and that was tasty! Really solid grilled cheese sandwiches. Love this new neighborhood bar, but also love that we can walk cause the street got so congested and backed up from all the cars.

    Bar Buena was a surprise find after we participated in a cooking class at Sur La Table across the…read morestreet. After the byob cooking experience, we figured "why not!?" So we walked on over to this little speakeasy and were immediately greeted by the bouncer. On a Thursday night, it was quite crowded, but were able to find the last remaining seats at the bar. We were seated at the left end of the bar, which was nice because we had our own little "nook" away from the rest of the bar. Adjacent to us was the server station - the one server tending to the tables, Marilyn, frequently came by and we immediately befriended her. She gave us excellent recommendations and provided her opinion on several drinks. Robin was the bartender who took care of us throughout the night. She was super friendly from the moment we sat down and gave us stellar recommendations on food and drinks. She was happy to tweak a couple of their seasonal drinks to our liking, and even offered to mix other drinks that weren't on the menu. Fantastic service from Robin throughout the night. I started out with Tommy's Margarita - this was just their take on a classic margarita, nothing super special. I then ordered the Oaxacan Old Fashioned - think of an old fashioned made with tequila and mezcal in lieu of bourbon. I was a bit cautious about this one since I am not a fan of mezcal, however the smoky flavor was not very apparent in this one, which was a huge plus! I also got the Ardilla - very unique drink made with mexican corn whiskey, cocoa nibs, sherry, and a milk punch. I award this drink for most unique I've had in a while, definitely give it a try if you're up for something new. To finish, I had the Cariña - their take on an espresso martini made with reposado tequila. I really liked this espresso martini - it was a great way to finish out the night and I left feeling inspired to make my espresso martinis at home using tequila now! With the little room we had left in our stomachs, we tried the Pato Tinga Memela, which was duck leg (no bone) with beans and onions and cilantro atop a memela. I haven't had memela specifically per se, but consider me a fan. It is basically a mini "cake" of masa that is pan fried to a slight crispiness. An Oaxacan speciality, where else can I find these in Houston!? We also tried the Guacamole y Tostadas. The guacamole was unique in the sense that it was Oaxacan style, so contains pepitas, pickled onions, and queso fresco. The tostadas were super crispy and reminded me of how they serve guacamole in Mexico (rather than with chips/totopos). Fun fact is that this bar is owned by Goode Company. Next door to this is Goode Co. Cantina, so it's nice that they created an adjoining restaurant + speakeasy concept within the same strip. At one point in our visit, Levi Goode was standing next to us. We didn't know until after he left and Marilyn informed us, that that was THE man. Just doing a casual check-in of his bar. We really had a good experience at Bar Buena and look forward to returning. The food menu has quite a few offerings I wanted to try had I not come from a cooking class. We were also told that the seasonal drink menu was set to change shortly after our visit, so I look forward to trying these drinks!

I will definitely be back for more. We were having such a good time that I forgot to take pictures. Get ready for flavor town.

The music is also loud, as expected for a nightclub, and it can get busy later in the evening. Parking is valet, with a shared lot with Verde Garden. Overall, I dug the vibe for a first visit right before it got crowded. Worth checking out if you're looking to dance the night away to EDM in a lounge-style setting.

Fresh strawberries in it, really well balanced. I ended up chatting with the bartender and even sat there crocheting, yes crocheting while sipping my drink.

This worked out really well for me, the parking garage is well lit and I was able to find a space pretty easily on a Saturday.
