Such a cool tiny bar, very well designed. Met some friends here, our friend Jamila came in town from Chicago and we were wanting to try this spot. The Empress Me martini was the best drink I've ever had. Thank you to my friend KeKe for the recommendation and the blessing. Its drinks only. I like that they have an arm security guard on duty during business hours which are until 2am. It was nice seeing our previous Houston CM Farrah on the scene as well, she captured the moment. I wish we could've got a group photo with you as well. But one friend was entertaining her guest from Kingwood TX. parking lot chatting. read more

Went there for drinks for a friend's bday. (And ran into a few Yelpers!) They have happy hour, reverse happy hour, and ongoing specials (like they were doing for national tequila day). I had a mezcal negroni and a gin and tonic -- both were fantastic. Their menu of craft cocktails are really cool; I heard something about an ube carajillo. I'll have to try that next time. The DJ was phenomenal. Love me some Sean Paul remixes! They also had a food truck out front (across the street?). read more

My favorite new bar! Not sure when this place opened, but once I discovered it, it quickly became a heavy hitter in my rotation to go out. Great place to start your night like pre game before other plans. Or end your night for a night cap to get you in the mood to head home. It's a black owned bar by a Moorehouse graduate. And mostly black staff. Currently happy is Monday thru Thursday 4p to 7pm and Friday thru Sunday 9pm to 11pm. The happy hour is for there drink menu cocktails reduce to $10. Not sure how much the beer drops down to? All of the bartenders are very cool. Some of them also DJ there as well, as dual roles. Every night seems to have a different theme like ladies night, afro beatz etc, but different every week, check there IG. They have live music on Sundays and that seems to be the most consistent of there schedule. Bar wise- they have a menu. However all of the bartenders are wildly creative and can whip up what your heart desires if you give them a little direction on the flavor profile you like. Prices are fair $16 ish. Bartenders wise Bourban is my absolutely favorite, but I like Shawntae, William, Sean and a few others. But nearly everyone is really cool. They enjoy a chit chat. Very conveniently located for me. And a shared parking lot with other business so lots of spots. Enjoy! read more

Third came across my Instagram feed so I decided to check it out! The vibes were amazing as soon as I walked in! The owner Chris, the customers, and bartenders Wayne & Bartholomew were such a vibe. I ordered the Matcha Martini before requesting my go to drink. The Matcha Martini was yummy but not yummy enough for me to order again. Without asking I was handed a Dolce Almeda shot/mini cocktail - it's Third's version of the Mexican candy shot. I'm a rum girly BUT that shot was full of flavor & yummy! I would recommend it. I plan to return soon! I love that the bar is away from the hype (e.g., Bar 5015, Faces) it has its own identity and location. Again, highly recommend. read more

Houston! We have a new craft cocktail bar on the South side! Third is a cocktail lounge located in a nondescript shopping strip. Parking wasn't an issue, but I could see it becoming a challenge once more people discover Third. The bar isn't very large but it is nice. They had a DJ spinning tunes at the corner of the bar. I also noticed that the bartenders were sporting leather aprons (which I equate to elevated drinks lol). It was definitely a vibe. Our server was Denise and she was really nice. She brought over kettle chips and dill flavored ruffle chips. The ruffle chips had too much dill for my preference, but if you like pickles, you'll enjoy them. I started with the Midnight in Amalfi Coast. I was intrigued because of the ingredients, but I have to admit that I didn't care for this drink. It sort of had a licorice taste to it that I wasn't feeling. On the other hand, I absolutely LOVED the Time After Time. I've had drinks with egg white, and whipped cream, but I have never had foam (think bubbles) on top of a cocktail. In the menu, it's described as "Strawberry Lemon Air" and that's exactly what it is! You can taste the flavor, but it dissolves in your mouth as you're sipping the cocktail. It's a really interesting texture contrast that I thoroughly enjoyed. My friend ordered a Lemon Drop Martini. Denise noticed that she wasn't drinking it so she told her that she would be back with her drink. A moment later, Denise walked back with her Lemon Drop topped with the Strawberry Lemon Air and my friend drank it so fast lol. I bet the foam tastes good on everything lol. I met one of the owners, Christopher and he was incredibly nice! I told him how much I enjoyed the Time After Time and he had one of the bartenders, William tell me about the cocktail and how they make the foam. William is very passionate about his craft and it shows. Sophisticated cocktails with a side of culture! Third is going into my craft cocktail bar rotation. read more

Okay local bar! This is a new spot located on the corner of almeda and OST. It's specifically located between the Subway and Les Donut. The lot is small with relatively limited parking so get there early or use ride share. The bar it's self is pretty small with limited seating and no doubt if it's packed it will be quite warm in there This place is a vibe though. Now the music too loud. Good music you just have to yell to hear yourself. Turn it down. We met the co-owner he's cool and makes an excellent beverage! I live around the corner and can actually walk there so to say the least I'll be backà read more

Legit happy hour and grown, sexy vibe! Stopped in for a pregame and ended up staying longer than expected. The drinks were unique and all were delicious. We tried several from their list of cocktails. The service was also great. Will definitely return! Great place to chill and watch the games with an 80s & 90s classic R&B vibe! read more

Third - Time After Time - Wine Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

* It's a smaller venue, so it fills up quickly on Friday and Saturday nights. * Parking can get tight during peak hours. * If you're looking for a huge dance floor or bottle-service nightclub experience, this probably isn't it. If you're looking for a chic place to grab drinks, catch a vibe, and have conversations with good music in the background, it's a strong choice! read more

Wow! So, this place was under development for a long time and the only reason I knew was because it's located next to my favorite donut shop. My friend suggested it over Memorial Day weekend for HH (daily HH from 4-7, I believe) and I was impressed! The interior was modern with some touches of glam, plenty of seating when I arrived. The drinks? Well made, potent, interesting, and pretty. I'm slowly turning into a martini girl and this was probably my second fave. Drinks came out quickly but it did take some time for us to close our tab. You can order food via DD, etc and they work with a BBQ place near by. I also loved the music selection. Hopefully they can go the distance and become a Houston staple! read more

My girls and I had a time. I was pleasantly surprised by the elevated decor despite its location. It's what you would call a hidden gem. It's housed in a small shopping center near OST. To my surprise they had a reverse happy hour!!! Yass and thank you!! The bartenders were bartending! All the drinks were delicious and specially crafted. It reminds me of a mixology bar I frequented back in the day. The vibe was definitely house party thanks to the DJ. I went on a Saturday night read more

Hands down one of the best craft cocktail bars in Houston! I was sold on my first visit and am now a regular, visiting a couple times a week. The bartenders are true mixologist who are creative and super hospitable! The reverse weekend happy hours are such a vibe with great DJs. The price point is fair for a craft cocktail and the artistry. And there's happy hour every day! I truly can't say enough how much I love this place!! read more

I mean.. for a Friday night, you need to severely work on your service. Total of 12 people in the entire establishment with 3 bartenders literally standing around, and they don't even acknowledge you for 7 minutes. We counted. The barbacks were quicker with our water than the staff behind the bar. Also, don't get me started on this "dirty Diana" "experience" for the love of god don't waste your money on the bullshit that is that. Along with the solid 2 ounces of liquor TOTAL in the glass. Sigh. read more

What a quaint lounge! Good vibes, great cocktails (delicious)!!! and great service. Not especially large, but a really nice space to relax. Seating includes pub tables and a few lower height booth tables. This is helpful for those with a mobility concern. There is a step to access the lower level seating. The music was great! I totally enjoyed being in the space. Definitely will stop in again when in the area. read more

Cute bar with great drinks. The bartenders were friendly and efficient. I thoroughly enjoyed the drinks. The Old Fashioned was flavorful and perfectly made. They also gave complimentary chips as a snack. That was such a cute touch. The ambiance is great for date night or girls night. The patrons were dressed nicely as well. Perfect place to get cute and enjoy a nice evening. The Dj kept the vibe up all night. Parking was free and I loved that security would make sure everyone made it to their cars safely as they walked out. I will definitely be back. read more

Good vibes all around! Crafted cocktails, great music, hassle free parking, and attentive staff.

The establishment has a beautiful ambiance, and the décor is exceptional, creating a welcoming and visually appealing atmosphere. My only recommendation would be to be mindful of the audience and the individuals representing and promoting the business. Ensuring that the environment and promotional approach appeal to a diverse and inclusive clientele, rather than appearing to cater primarily to one specific demographic or genre, can help make all guests feel equally welcome and valued. read more

Some of the best cocktails I have ever had. It's a very intimate space, with great vibes, and great service. Also a very cute space for date night or to just grab a drink. Only note is that they don't serve food, but the drinks more than make up for that. I highly recommend this lovely neighborhood cocktail bar. read more
