On my recent trip to Houston!…read more When I was searching for dowtown bars and dancing, Behind Closed Doors popped up. It looked dark, clubbish, and fun (exactly what I was looking for) and I couldn't wait to come here. After a 25 minute Uber ride we were downtown and walking to our destination. At first we could not find it but thankfully a nice gentlemen showed us where it was. Upon walking in, darkness with these bright lights paved our way. We sat down at the bar, but realized dancing did not start until 10pm. The bartender came over and said to us "we have a speakasy behind door #3" we were like WHAT! Let's go. So, we walked down the dark hallway and pushed open door #3 (hence the name) to find this super cool speakeasy bar. Dim lights, really modern decor, comfy suede chairs and best of all, some really great cocktails. If you are ever in Downtown Houston, I highly recommend you coming here. I promise you will have the best time. We did not stay for dancing.

The drinks were solid, and the overall atmosphere was definitely a vibe. We went on a Saturday evening, so it was pretty crowded, but once we found our spot in the Gold Room, we stayed there most of the night. Great music, great energy, and a unique concept. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something different for a night out. Not sure how it took me this long to stumble in here. Parking is what it is downtown so, there's that.

I'm a Tiki Geek so any chance I have to hit a new (for me) tiki bar and down a delicious tropical cocktail, I jump on it. The bar is located in a very unassuming location within a tiny little strip of businesses in the suburbs of northern Houston. Signage outside isn't obvious but once you step inside, you're transported to a little slice of paradise. Service was fantastic...the bartender (Jonathan) was very helpful guiding me towards what to try and gave me some Lei Low swag, too. The fellow seated at the bar next to me turned out to be the owner, Russell Thoede, who was very nice and we engaged in a nice chat about California tiki bars many of which he has visited. The drinks I had were fantastic; Donn's Original Zombie ($18) and Ground Control ($17) and stack right up there with the best we have here in California. Love the different tiki mugs for the different drinks. Thank you, Russell and Jonathan, for such a great experience! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I had the matcha martini, the 12 hour jet lag (their version of lychee martini essentially), and the carajillo. All were amazing, were reasonably strong, and the happy hour deal was pretty good. The bar itself is also gorgeous. I did dock one star for the parking situation. They have a small lot but it's valet only, even at 4pm and no one was there, which I thought was ridiculous. I get having valet later in the evening once business picks up but there were a total of 3 cars parked in the lot and I had to park 2 blocks away since I didn't want to valet.

One night, we saw they had a great happy hour and decided to walk on over from the house. We ordered drinks off the happy hour menu although their seasonal drink menu (ask for it) was super tempting! The staff was very friendly and were happy to make suggestions or answer questions. As we sipped on our cocktails, we played pool and darts (bring quarters for the pool table). We played for awhile and then decided to order a burger off the happy hour menu (and it came with tots). We were able to select whichever burger we wanted which was really nice. Soon, we ordered another round of drinks but all switched up what we ordered to try something new. These drinks were great as well! This bar is more of a fun after work hangout or a place to just unwind rather than a classy date night establishment but all in all, we really liked it! Would happily go back!

I did want a cup of water, which would be nice if they offered that at the start just to help & remind everyone to drink water to hydrate in the mix of all the alcohol. Drink: 4/5 Big Moe: it was a combination of sweet and tart but would get it again. Ambiance: 5/5 Relaxed and welcoming, just a nice laid back spot to come hang with friends for a nightcap or to kick off the festivities. You'll find yourself having a good time regardless.

When you walk in the upscale bar sets you back and the bartenders and their expertise making cocktails is amazing. It is a little small inside but their patio area is definitely worth a visit.

I will be back and I'll definitely do a follow up.

The drink was super creamy and the liquor blends nicely with the coffee, I give it a 7/10. The Lychee to the Limit was also really refreshing and it had a hint of spices, which made it really unique, I give it a 7.5/10. Overall, this speakeasy is such a vibe and it is inspired by southeast asian flavors which makes it unique! It's dim-lit in there and the decor is also southeast asian inspired- i'd love for them to have some music playing to create an even better vibe. We didn't get to try the food, but I would love to come back and give it a try!
