We stumbled upon this place last night while searching for crawfish. It is attached to the crawfish place we visited. Never knew Tikila's existed, but so glad we found it. It has nice ambiance, tvs inside and outside, 3 large patios... one of which has swing seats. My hubby and I love those swing seats. So fun and relaxing. This place gets 4 stars for the vibe and the servers alone. Everyone was super nice. The drinks, however, are not that strong. I eventually switched from mixed drinks to wine. Knowing that, I will order wine in the future but will definitely return! One of my new fave spots! read more

Worse sketchy over priced place in the heights. Super nice inside and outside.... BUT Awful Service. With over priced drinks to boot!! AND NO FOOD!!! Maybe a food truck... maybe...Unfriendly and Slow staff. No parking... I love loud music but this is beyond... you cannot hear yourself think. Not at all a fun cool neigHborhood bar. Cheesy. Low class... boring... gross patrons. NOT A COOL HANG OUT. What a disappointment.. read more

I liked this place!! It's a hidden gem in a part of Houston that most people wouldn't think to head to for tropical drinks, but I'm here for it. My friends and I came here on a breezy afternoon, which was perfect to sit out on the patio and enjoy the Hawaiian-vibes with tiki drinks to boot! I don't recall the name of the drink I ordered, unless it was just called a frozen mojito, but I had a couple and they were very tasty and priced fair for happy hour. I'm not sure if there was a special event going on, but the bartender, who previously hadn't been super friendly when ordering, brought out free Jameson shots, rubber bracelets, and souvenir cups for every one in our party once we were seated. Woot! Woot! I enjoyed the decor of the place more than anything, as well as the swings around some of the tables. The connect four boards were broken, which was disappointing, but we made do. I'd definitely come back. read more

The space is cool, both indoor and outdoor. The outside has a couple of areas, one with swings on tiki huts and another that has garage doors and picnic tables. The inside has posts with tiki heads and wallpaper has their mascot with the Día de los Muertos skull printed on it. They also have a food truck out the back patio. Where they fall short, is the drinks. There were not many drink options. Mostly margaritas and mojitos, which were not frozen as they were supposed to be. But, both were mostly sour mix, and not really tiki inspired. They really should have more drinks with fresh tropical juices, and well mixed, maybe serving them in tiki inspired glasses. Something more like Lei Low with their tequila theme. Their bartenders seemed limited on training, could mostly serve a frozen drink or a beer. The music was so loud that we could not even talk to the bartender at 5:00 pm. The parking situation is valet only, which even with that, they were pretty limited. There have good bones, but they could use a lead bartender to craft a menu to fit their vibe. We will stop back again, and see if the kinks are worked out, after a while. But, that experience will not make it anything to rush back for. read more

This place can't even bother to greet you... skip it! Horrible feel! Of the 3 bartenders who were in the bar doing NOTHING not ONE could figure out how to greet us.. crap service! read more

The tables with swings sold me! This is such a cute bar, Happy Hour with $5 margaritas (not too strong) three patios, games and a great vibe. Shepard's traffic can be a nightmare though for the Happy Hour but if you brave that, you'll love this oasis! read more

I visited the establishment today, and my party and I were not served because a friend was wearing Crocs. Blake, the bartender stated that this was their dress code and it was to be strongly enforced. I asked Blake if he could detail the specifics of the dress code policy and he could not. He stated that "we usually have a doorman here that handles that stuff, but he's not here today". There is no information provided on the website with any dress code information and there are no postings available at the bar for potential customers. It appears that it is left up to each individual staff member to determine what they deem appropriate attire for customers to wear. The dress code should be public knowledge to ensure that everyone is treated equal without bias and inconsistent subjectiveness. I would not recommend this establishment read more

This is the NEW & HOT place to go too! It just opened & it's now my new favorite place to go too. The workers are extremely nice and helpful while recommending the most popular items on the menu. This place is INSTAWORTHY, has stylish interior, has creative cocktails, and is perfect from small to big groups! The workers make and serve your drink in a fastly paced manner and I love it! When you walk to the patio, you feel like you're in Hawaii! read more

Great service, good drinks! Love the Sunday seafood and food trucks. We will be back! read more

My boyfriend found this spot on TikTok and we love trying new places in Houston but this spot was not one for us. I'm not sure if it was because of our ethnicity, but we were not serviced. We sat for 30min and a waitress asked me if we were helped and I told her please get my boyfriend and I some water until he comes back from the car. She never came back. I SERVICED MYSELF SOME WATER AT THE BAR. Her and another waitress looked our way and never said another word. PATHETIC AND TERRIBLE SERVICE. The ONLY reason I give one star is because a young woman named Jessica serviced us free drinks and she didn't even work there. Just a place I wouldn't ever come back to. read more

BE CAREFUL AND CHECK YOUR ACCOUNT! Went yesterday for some drinks and today looked at my bank account and they charged my card twice. When I asked to speak to the manager the guy that answered was so rude and told me " don't know what to tell you, call back an in hour" never going back! I went ahead and called by back and thankfully they will be taking care of this. read more

Love this super fun spacious tiki themed bar! The outside is beautiful and lots of room so groups aren't right on top of each other! Their steak night offerings are legit! Definitely recommend this unique bar! read more

This is nice vibe on a Sunday afternoon at this BAR. Nice frozen drinks on a hot sunny day at the BAR. The first DJ was playing great music, then his shift was over and the next guy was not so great. Saw a couple of kids in here and a baby that I thought was weird to have in a BAR. I saw a sign that said no kids after 7pm, so apparently I'll come back after 7pm next time I visit. read more

Who would have thought you could feel as if you were on vacation minutes from home? The frozen mojitos garnished with THE freshest mint and most pigmented orchids (my personal fav) topped off this drink that packed a nice punch. Not only in flavor but also in alcohol content. The Bartender was pleasant to order from and on the eyes. Always had a greeting and a smile to match. We sat outside, as we always try to do for fresh air from COVID. They had large fans circulating the air outside and providing relief from the heat. Dj was playing the winning tunes to prevail my winning streak of connect 4 (despite what my opponent may say) for bites, we had a option of chicken tacos or pastor. So we opted for both. The spicy salsa was homemade and stood talk against the Texas heat. Not sure which was hotter but it was def flavorful! We didn't try the crawfish but a vendor was outside killing me with the fomo.. smells made me wanna stick around for more than my tummy could take on. We will be back for more outdoor fun. The ambiance here was so much fun with the tropical feelz... read more

This place is awesome! The prices were relatively high for the cocktails (around $12 for a mezcal old fashion). However, the quality of the drinks was amazing and they were very delish. The outdoor setting is amazing with a tiki type vibe. It was a pretty chill spot and has lots of cool swings and hut type places to sit. The inside decor was also amazing. I will be back. read more

Tikila's has a cool vibe. If you like dive bars give this venue a try. No spoiler alerts. Tikila's is a destination location that warrants a visit. read more

Hot and buttered was great! Bartenders are super rude. Ruined the experience for me. And parking is a nightmare. read more

Garbage new heights bar trying to be fancy and just being pretentious and mediocre af. Michell was racist towards Asian guests. Didn't want to serve people and then was confrontational for no reason. Just go somewhere else, it's really not worth it... trust me, or find out for yourself. But you've been warned about how lame it is. Maybe Mitchell knows too. Maybe that's why he's defensive and passive aggressive. Because he's self conscious about being a mediocre bartender in a silly bar. read more

Becky is amazing! The customer service here is impeccably! I have never been before and she made our experience amazing !

Last night will be my first and absolute last visit to this establishment. Unfortunately I had excellent customer service from everyone aside from a single bartender (Ashton) who warrants such a low rating. My friend very politely asked her to pull up her mask while serving us. She rolled her eyes and and told us she'd get some one else to deal with us. When asked again later in the night she looked at a co-worker and complained "it's just politics". He was very sweet and took care of us with no problem. (Made an incredible Ranch Water) Not only is this establishment in the business of excuting local ordinances and food saftey/sanitation they are also in the business of customer service. As some one who is in the industry I was disgusted by her attitude and lack of consideration for others. If she wants to practice unsanitary habits she should do it on her own time in her own home. Can't stand to wear a mask? Is antibacterial soap a political issue too? What other unsafe practices does she exercise at the expense of patrons and her coworkers? Everyone was great about social distancing, ample parking, wait staff aside from the obvious was incredible and the ambiance was great. Wish I could give 5 stars but given the obvious, I cannot. read more

They tried to scam us and take more tip even though they require a 20% tip. The waiter got mad and asked us why we are telling our party that a 20% tip is required and to not add more. They take advantage of drunk people. Take your business somewhere else. read more

This is one of my favorite hangout spots. There are so many delicious tiki drinks, as well as a good beer selection. There's a spacious inside and two large patios, plenty of room. Parking is in the back and they have a large lot. What's great as well is the food vendors. Hot and buttered is juicy seafood with mouth watering sauce. Crawfish season is a must try! They also have a variety of other food trucks, most recently there's a great arepa vendor with amazing butter garlic cheese arepas. You could stay all day! read more

I love this place. Great atmosphere and staff. It's family friendly everyone looks happy here. Drinks are made well and there's plenty of food. read more

Had a great first experience here! Great drinks, great variety of food trucks. Bartenders were super friendly and we will definitely be back, this is a great place for everyone to make a regular staple. read more

Super fun spot with great crawfish from Hot and Buttered! Loved the out door seating and the dog friendly vibe. Wonderful Heights spot!

It's a posh tropical bar not really tiki but still fun. They a live DJ and sports on the TVs. Also they have a very open patio with plenty of room to lounge around. read more

Cool atmosphere! Large selection of tequila and a decent/moderate selection of beers. Everything was clean, seating was great, and the music was awesome. Ordered some tacos which were on the small side but were delicious. Will definitely be back. read more

Worst bar ever. Sat there for ten minutes waiting to get a drink when I was the only person other than a sales rep waiting for a drink - it was 4:30 pm - during happy hour! No acknowledgement, no anything from the bartender or any bar staff. I will never come here again. read more

I only stopped to enjoy a drink but I liked the bed type of furniture. The atmosphere is really chill. I went on a hot day unfortunately but fall is the time to be here. It's small but comfortable because it wasn't so packed. I wouldn't mind stopping again and trying more of thier menu. read more

I really enjoyed the atmosphere, great drinks, and good food. I never knew the swing tables would give me so much joy. The security, as big a guy as he was; he was very nice and really Jumpstarted the good vibes. Even my dog enjoyed himself. The wait staff were even attentive to my dog needing water. Great Saturday night, I will DEFINITELY be back. read more

Rude bartenders who aren't happy unless you buy something expensive. It is a cool spot to go but be careful they will up charge you without knowing and they automatically grat you 20%, which they do not deserve. The girl with black hair and glasses is rude af unless you're buying something expensive. read more

Went with my cousin last night and loved the scene but the staff was very rude bartender would constantly look to see we were waiting to order but he always looked past us and took someone else's order it's like noone wanted to do their job......like I said cute atmosphere to chill but staff is the reason I won't be going back ‍ read more

Stopped here for our midway with Clutch City Cruisers!! Service was awesome for how many people we rolled up with I can't remember the servers name after I told her I would but she suggested the mezcal old fashioned OH MY GOD!! Amazing was an understatement. She asked me to trust he the second time around as she made it to her liking.. even better! A dash of cinnamon I couldn't believe it. Will def be back read more

Watch out! This place will automatically grat you 20% when they do not deserve it. The bartender with black hair and glasses is so rude unless you are a guy or buying something expensive. read more

The crowd and the drinks are best described as South Padre during spring break. Interpret as you wish........

Drinks are good! I only dislike you have to order at the bar all the time. No table service. It would be nice if they added appetizers for happy hour. read more

Tikilas was wonderful! We came here reading mixed reviews on Yelp but I would suggest this spot. Some of the negative reviews were about service, we had a wonderful experience. Raul was our bartender and he took great care of us, explained Happy Hour (Monday- Friday 3-7) and their Happy Meal (beer and a shot of whisky or tequila...white claw included!) very well. When we got our tab, HH deals were already priced to include taxes - 2 margaritas, 2 Happy Meals all for 24$. They had 3 different patios, cabanas and an indoor spot - perfect place for a sunny day. read more
