I stopped by for happy hour and was pleasantly surprised by how many options they had. The prices were pretty reasonable, especially for the portion sizes. The service stood out right away, very welcoming and friendly, and the food came out extremely fast, which was a plus. As for the food, it was decent overall. The wings had good flavor, but the ranch was a bit watery and could definitely use more seasoning. The onion rings were also good, just needed a little extra seasoning to really bring them up a notch. Overall, it's a solid spot for happy hour with good prices, generous portions, and great service. read more

Came here for some drinks on date night and they didn't disappoint. The service and the drinks were great. Their happy hour drinks are 6-10 dollars. We didn't get food since we already ate but we will be back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The food looked good and it had a nice quite rooftopish vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I fear I've found another happy hour spot that I will be frequenting! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Upstairs definitely gives the ultimate post work happy hour vibe and I live for it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The upstairs portion gives more of a casual lounge feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]And view from the upstairs rooftop just really sets the mood.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was pretty good. Wouldn't describe it as the most over the top, impeccable service, but it was good all the same. Food and drinks were pretty good and flavorful too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The downstairs portion of the restaurant is also pet friendly (I believe).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Cannot wait to return to this spot! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The place to relax and have a small bite or cocktail is just right Upstairs![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This was one of the first places I visited when I first relocated to Houston. It was and still is the perfect place to "WINE"-down and grab an delicious appetizer. Perfect to visit if solo, on a date, or with friends or colleagues after work. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This quaint lounge setting offers bar seating, high top tables, lounge and booth seating, as well as patio seating overlooking a the beautiful tree-lined street.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also offer a separate room to host meetings or parties.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Appetizers are delicious - I ordered their fried pickles and spinach dip. Just enough to hit the spot. For my cocktail, I selected the a classic apple martini (I know, "who still drinks those still?" Lol...I do...nothing wrong with a classic dahling). Great times and worth the check out. Right "upstairs" from Hungry's, this place is a great spot to chill. Self parking is limited, however they do offer valet. No street parking. Enjoy! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This bar has a fun lounge vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Located in the heart of Rice Village, this spot if the perfect oasis for a date night, happy hour, or any other sort of meet up/outing The lounge itself is located just upstairs from Hungry's, and it's has the same management and even menu. So, if you want a more chill lounge vibe go upstairs, but if you want more of a restaurant vibe then Hungry's is also a Greta option[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Lounge shares its food and drink menu with Hungry's. There's a variety of entrees to choose from. The apps and pizzas are great for sharing. There is also a solid cocktail menu that includes signature and classic drinks. I'm a fan of the brunch menu and the mimosa flights When you are finished, consider taking a stroll through Rice Village. There's plenty of shopping, desserts, health/self care, and libation options in the area Some tips: Occasionally there are events being held in the Lounge, so, book a reservation or call ahead. Also, there is complimentary valet parking, or you can find free parking a block away of Chaucer Cheers!! read more

I celebrated my birthday in March at this location and everything was amazingly good! We had a party of 11, no problem for our waiter at all. Service was excellent, no delays or issues with any of the food we ordered. After we dined downstairs, we went upstairs for cocktails! I definitely recommend this place 10/10 on food service and ambience! read more

Wanted to change my venue for an afternoon of reading on a Sunday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I specifically wanted a nice patio and was directed here by Google.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For anyone who may be confused, it's directly above Hungry's, not a separate building. [[HIGHLIGHT]]With it being Sunday, it was very busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The seating was self serve and with that being said, there was a bit of a delay getting a waiter and I had multiple people involved with my order and assistance. I ordered the Chilaquiles and aperol gimlet, both of which, I enjoyed. HH is 3 to 6 daily but I opted to head home. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute spot for sure.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Upstairs Bar and Lounge is an attractive upscale casual bar with very good food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The indoor setting can be considered somewhat romantic while the outdoor second level deck is more casual with lots of TVs and high top seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a great cocktail menu with something for everyone or you can get creative with your request. We've had the same server twice and he did an excellent job with additional descriptions and opinions of both drinks and food. The food menu is impressively large for a bar and I've throughly enjoyed each item ordered over two visits. Don't be afraid go beyond the typical bar food, my exploration is just getting started. read more

Located upstairs above Hungry's restaurant in Rice Village. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Has both indoor & outdoor seating plus an indoor space with a glass door that could be used for private dining. I love the upstairs, outdoor patio. it's a nice size, with TVs & multiple fans, Dimly lit, nice vibe in the evening[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Food: Crab cake appetizer. 3.5/5, was not crab meat forward, more "bready" than I prefer & flavor was basic. Brussel sprouts: 4/5 they were good, the balsamic glaze made them My dinner mate got the gyro pita where the meat was very tender & tasty. 4/5 Spicy Mezcal Paloma cocktail was good. Not really spicy. I substituted OJ for grapefruit since i can't drink grapefruit juice. Service was fine, no complaints. Nice spot to pop in for a bite & drinks. read more

Came here for happy hour and it did not disappoint! We had the whole balcony basically to ourselves. Although it was warm, the balcony had shade and cooling fans which kept us comfortable. Our server took amazing care of us as well - she was attentive and gave great recommendations. They have an awesome happy hour - half off cocktails, $10 pizzas, and $4 off their appetizers. They also have daily specials on top of these and kids eat free on Mondays! I got to try a variety of cocktails - the spicy pineapple margarita was sweet and spicy - just enough kick to make it exciting. The Paloma was very smoky which brought out the mezcal flavor nicely. The gimlet was my favorite - I loved the herbal fragrance and flavor and enjoyed the grapefruit juice! We shared the brussel sprouts and wings. Both were amazing - the brussel sprouts were crispy, sweet, and dupe flavorful. The wings were well cooked and had great flavor. We tried the garlic Parmesan and the honey habanero. The manager checked on us and was very hospitable. I could not say a negative thing about this experience. We will for sure make this a regular go-to spot! Give them some love! read more

Upstairs is always a cute little vibe! Love coming here for happy hour especially on Sunday. Valet service is tip based I recommend doing valet there's not too many free parking spots in the lot and it's always packed. I always order the Spanish dip. It never disappoints, but of course you have to add a little bit of salt to it. I ordered the pepperoni pizza which was super cheesy. Love it! I always get the frose. They have the best frose I've ever had. Everybody I was with enjoyed their food! read more

Tried this place for happy hour with my friend! It is the upstairs second story space above Hungry's (enter the main entrance and ask to go upstairs). Happy hour is 3-6 PM and includes several drinks, apps, and pizza. There is a large indoor space and outdoor covered space, so plenty of seating options to choose from. For drinks, we both got the aperol spritz, which arrived very soon after we ordered them. The drink has a very nice and prominent grapefruit flavor is is not too tart the way grapefruits can be and it is just the right amount of sweetness. The drink is a pretty nice size as well. My friend and I split the spinach and artichoke dip and the pepperoni and wild mushroom pizza, which was a perfect amount of food for us. Food came out pretty quickly and was hot and fresh. The dip is simply great- it's the perfect consistency and is plenty cheesy and creamy but it's not too salty. It comes with little sides of tzatziki and pico de gallo, which actually compliment the dip very nicely. The dip is a very good size for sharing. The pepperoni and wild mushroom pizza really satisfied my pizza cravings with its textures and flavors. The pepperoni and cheese were wonderfully salty with a bit of a spicy kick. The mushrooms added another level of savoriness, the fresh basil balanced it out, and the crust was delightfully crisp. I would definitely come back here for happy hour or try it for brunch! There's valet parking or a few spots for self parking in the lot, but we opted to park in the main Rice Village garage and walk. read more

Three words: Ronnie, Kara, and Manny. Ronnie provides excellent customer service and produces every drink of the highest quality. He definitely a PRO! Kara is an excellent manager who ensures that all customers are delighted and well taken care of. She goes above and above by connecting with customers and asking about their experiences. Manny has excellent management skills. I saw him effectively manage the kitchen, ensuring food was delivered on time, and engage with each customer to ensure they had a positive experience. read more

Really enjoyed hanging out here w a friend for HH during the week. Great HH menu and reasonably priced. Parking for me wasn't a problem in the Hungry's parking lot back row but I believe they have free valet as well during dinner hours. The atmosphere is upscale casual. Love the group seating options inside (long bar, high top tables that could seat small groups and lower seating w mixed chair and couch options). Large outside patio which is great for larger groups and good views, lots of fans to combat the humid weather. As far as food we split the spinach artichoke dip and pepperoni mushroom pizza--pizza is thin and had the best kind of cheese pull. Our cocktails were aerosol spritz and this was super light and refreshing, along w glasses of rose wine to follow. The food menu outside the Hh menu is diverse and def something I would try although on the pricey side. Lots of veg and vegan options. Service was great-not intrusive, friendly, and attentive. I had to wait about 20 min before my friend arrived bc she was stuck in traffic and I was checked on but not overbearingly. Would def recommend for a great place to catch up w friends and enjoy. I can also see it as a good place for a birthday gathering that's not super formal yet a little more upscale and fun without the lounge/club atmosphere. read more

Located on the second floor of Hungry's, Upstairs is a cute lounge-looking area where you can grab good food and drinks. The indoor and outdoor (balcony) seating options is ideal for larger groups. We went during happy hour and picked out 4 appetizers to share for the table. There were a good number of happy hour food items for different tastes at a decent price (4 appetizers and 4 drinks for under $100). Overall, the food was decent. The star of the show was the goat cheese dip; my least favorite was the artichoke dip. My biggest complaint was the food temperature. BEWARE!!!! THE FOOD IS PIPING HOT AND COMPLETELY BURNED THE ROOF OF MY MOUTH!!! (Sorry for being graphic: burn blisters and all). It's been about a week and I'm still recovering from it. After we received the food, we had to wait a while before we could actually eat it. Dishes that we tried to beware of are the Brussels, goat cheese, and dip (basically everything served on the skillet). I would have appreciated a heads up. Other than that, the service was really good and quick and we had a good time. Our server was friendly and attentive. read more

Stopped in for afternoon post brunch hangout. Walked right upstairs to find a table outside. Drinks were refreshing and it's a great atmosphere.

We had a lovely evening here. The ambiance was upscale casual and the service was phenomenal. So many vegetarian and vegan options and they were all incredible. We had the spinach artichoke dip which was stellar - our daughter had some too. For main I had the Brussel sprout salad which was great; just the fried goat cheese was a lot so I only had a little bit of that. It would have been great if they added a side of tzatziki which the salad as they did give pita but I stole my husbands. Also the kids menu is fantastic. The thing I loved about it most is that they don't just give unhealthy options - my kids mac and cheese came with peas and carrots. We were very happy. They also let my kiddo walk around the entrance as she does not like sitting and all the staff were so sweet with her. Please do not miss out on dessert- the molten lava cake is killer. And drinks are incredible. Basically just come here. You won't regret it. read more

My friends and I had a great time here while in Houston for our girl's trip. We wanted to have drinks on a rooftop so I decided Upstairs Bar and Lounge met the criteria . We had drinks here before going to another restaurant for a late night dinner. The drinks were great. I had the blackberry ginger margarita and had a sip of the spicy pineapple margarita. Both were great, and I highly recommend the blackberry ginger cocktail. A couple of my friends had the blue crab cakes and said they were delicious. The atmosphere and vibe were great. We even considered having dinner here but already had plans at another restaurant. read more

Upstairs Bar & Lounge is you guessed it, the upstairs portion at Hungry's. Located in Rice Village, they are unusual for the area in that they have a parking lot. The parking lot is part valet and part self parking. I stopped by on a Wednesday for happy hour with a friend. Upstairs has a nice indoor area with a long bar with seating, comfortable sofas and table-top seating, and the best spot in the house--the patio. I've been to Hungry's and Upstairs three or four times and I haven't had anything I haven't liked. On my last visit, I had a beer and cocktail off their happy hour. Food wise, we split a bunch of apps off of the happy hour menu including the pepperoni and mushroom pizza, the mixed skewers, and the mac & cheese. Service was good! You can't go wrong with Hungry's and Upstairs at any time of the day. I've been for both lunch and happy hour. Next up, dinner. Well, whenever this Coronavirus business is over. read more

Perfect place (Upstairs) to catch up with friends if youre looking for a chill ambience! We came here for late night drinks - the cocktails & service were great.

The warm bread pudding & vanilla ice cream were a hit! Can't wait to come back for actual dinner & to check out the happy hour. read more

Upstairs has both and indoor and outdoor seating area. Ordered the corn fritters, spinach artichoke dip, and fire-roasted brussel sprouts, spicy pineapple marg, and blood orange mule.

Love their Happy Hour! We went on a Thursday at 4 PM. There was a private party on the inside, but luckily there were still plenty of space on their outside patio. It was a chilly afternoon, and the outdoor heaters helped a bunch. Our waitress was very attentive, even after our party got larger over time, and she responded quickly to our request. We tried the brussel sprouts and the Soho trio. The brussels were the bomb.com! We've had them before, and I forgot to review it. The Soho trio was tasty, but it was more of a snack and could've been larger. As for drinks, we ordered Just Beet It and the Grapefruit Fritz. The beets were a delicious addition, and was quite refreshing! The grapefruit drink was delicious, and would've been over the top if it had tapioca pearls! Thumbs up for finding another HH fave spot! read more
