Now THIS is a speakeasy. I had no idea that I was going to get this experience when coming to…read moreHouston, but I couldn't be happier. The origami ceiling, lively bar, friendly staff, unique cocktails, fun bathroom, and photo booth in the corner made for an unforgettable experience. My friend said it was the busiest he had ever seen the place, and it was loud. But we got some awesome drinks that I swore I could've taken pics of -- the lighting was a little crazy, so I think I ultimately changed my mind with that. One was the periscope which was a refreshing and summery gin drink... And I think I tried the naked and famous too because I like mezcal. I had already eaten so I skipped the restaurant the speakeasy's connected to, but I cannot wait to return to Houston outside of a Con so I can really go all out on exploring. It was an amazing way to end my first night!

Super cute speakeasy hidden inside a sushi restaurant. We went on a weekday evening and had no…read moretrouble getting a table. I ordered the Side to the Sun Rises (gin, yuzu, mint, cucumber) which was light, refreshing, and well balanced. I would recommend it if you enjoy gin-based cocktails with a slightly fruity flavor. My friends really enjoyed their drinks as well. They have all day happy hour on Sundays/Mondays. We did not get a chance to try the food, but the menu looked great. Overall, a fun spot with great vibes and definitely worth checking out!

This was my first time here, and Gabriel at the bar was awesome. He walked me through the layout,…read moreexplained the different restaurant options and specials, and gave me the heads-up that Happy Hour runs every day from 11am to 7pm. It's also a great place to watch sports. Apparently, they've been a go-to spot for World Cup games, so shame on me for taking this long to find it. I'm definitely adding it to my happy hour rotation--and it may end up being my go-to spot for American football. Really chill place. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.

What a gem of a food hall!! With lots of food options to pick from, there's bound to be something…read morefor everyone! I love that they have all day happy hour on Tuesdays at the bar also! You can see their happy hour menu on their website. Greg (the bartender) is the absolute best! It was like he read my mind and brought me a drink right when I was going to ask for one on multiple occasions. This place is so spacious with plenty of seating! There's even the "Roxy Room" upstairs which you can rent out for any private events. For the food, you order at one of the food stands that you like and receive a text when it's ready to get picked up. I was so torn inbetween all the options that were presented to me, but decided to go with Blk Mkt Birria. Their birria tacos were great! There was something slightly spicy about them (maybe the tortilla since it was a literal red color?) so if you are SUPER sensitive to spice I wouldnt order these. They did have limited edition Birria Tamales which I just HAD to try. Honestly they were just a tad bit dry on their own but drenching it in the Birria consommé (which is what the consommé was meant for) it was great! I need to come back here to try all the other food vendors! I already know the bar is a vibe so I gotta see if each genre of food will have my mind blown :) Next time I come, I do wanna try Mad Dogs, the Pita-Ria, Seoulside, Bird Haus, or Cvche. But I only have one stomach so I think it'll take multiple times coming here to try all the food I want, but it's ok it's totally worth!

Came here twice while in town. I was staying across the street and this was the closest spot. I was…read morehere for 5 days and ended up going here twice. My server Yonn? was so pleasant and even recommended some things for me to try. Now everyone knows i am a soup head. They had the best chicken soup which comes with rice, carrots and potatoes. I also tried the buffalo wings which had a lovely kick to them. When i came back the 2nd time i ordered the same thing. Lol and i also got a mango margarita the first visit and a strawberry the second time. I would definitely recommend and make sure to ask for Yolien P! He was the best!

No frozen margaritas, was not offered any chips/hot sauce (as I saw another table them), the menus were sticky, grimy, the regular margarita had a weird taste from the mixer and to top it off the bathroom was dirty (no towels and counter was less than clean.) Never will I ever. The tacos were substandard for $15, had better from a food truck with more filling.

Drinks were fairly priced, especially if you make it before happy hour ends at 7. The crowd was chill and the music was great. One thing that stood out is that they allow you to bring food in from next door since the bar doesn't serve food. It's a nice option if you plan to stay for a while and want something to snack on. Overall, it's a solid, laid-back spot!

Stopped by Ducky McShweeney's to catch a soccer game and ended up pretty impressed. The place has…read moregreat vibes -- looks like a proper Irish pub but with a modern touch to it. Several different seating areas, so you can find your spot whether you're there for the game or just grabbing drinks with friends. Service was solid, and the drink selection is genuinely good. Happy hour runs 11 to 6, which is a nice window if you're planning ahead. Didn't get a chance to try the food this time, so can't speak to that, but I'd recommend this spot at least for drinks and good company. They've got darts too if you want something to do between matches. Will be back to actually try the menu.

Pretty cool Irish pub located off Post Oak near Westheimer. I came here for a happy hour meeting…read moreand was surprised to see how packed it was at 4:30 pm on a weekday in June. Well, it turns out, there was a World Cup soccer match going on. The place nearly cleared out after the game was over. Anyhow, when the place was packed it was very loud. But once it cleared out, not bad. Upon arrival I learned the hard way that it's open seating. I stood at the entrance for about 5 minutes and then was told to find whatever open seat I could find. We mainly went for drinks but decided "what the heck" and ordered food. The buffalo wings were good but not great. Same with the Marinara pizza. I was impressed with the size and the crust was pretty good. I suggest adding jalapeños to it. We also ordered a sushi roll (who knew you could order that and they just get it from Sushi on Post Oak next door). That roll was pretty good but also very pricey. Overall, pretty good experience and I'll be back. Parking lot is also large with plenty of spaces which I appreciate.

I like a good dive bar, but I was surprised to find The Railyard on the edge of River Oaks. Even…read morethough it's in an affluent area, the bar is very laid back. I stopped in on a Friday evening for a night cap. The bar is a pretty decent size and they have their own parking lot. They have a large patio out front and there was plenty of seating indoors as well. It's a sports bar so there were a lot of TVs throughout. They also have arcade games including Skee Ball and Pop-A-Shot. The menu had beer, wine, and cider, but they do have a full bar. I didn't see any specialty cocktails on the menu so I just asked the bartender, Marc to make me a gin based cocktail. Marc came up with his version of a Corpse Reviver. It had a tart, yet fruity twist to it. I can't recall all of the ingredients he used, but I liked it. I also had a Gimlet which was really good. Marc informed me about The Railyard shot special. Any time a train rolls by, you can purchase a vodka based shot for $2. I'm not much of a shot person, but I went ahead and ordered a White Tea shot. It was really good. Everyone in the bar was friendly and I appreciated the diversity of the clientele. Super chill place, just as a dive should be.

I believe Monica was the manager and she made sure everything was perfect too. The food came out fresh, flavorful and every dish was delicious.
