    Bingo & espresso martinis
    Victoria N.

    Came here for Thursday bingo night and $4 espresso martinis! The ambiance is super lively and fun with lots of seating available. It does get pretty busy on Thursdays though, so seats and parking do fill up pretty quickly.

    Wicklow is that little house tucked away off all the walkable bars and restaurants in the Heights like Bungalow, Cedar Creek, Drift, McIntyre's, etc. The parking is small, but there's a gravel lot across the street and parking next door at Cedar Creek. There's a small food truck outside for food options. Everything is QR code to order food. I've been here with friends, birthdays, and recently suggested this bar to one of my co-managers retiring who was looking for a chill HH place after her last day of work. She loved it, as well as the other managers and employees. We went on a Wednesday, which is their steak night for $25. You can't order anything else off the menu on that day. I had the ribeye with Brussels sprouts and Cajun potatoes. It had to have been a 12 oz ribeye, which I share half with another manager. I just wish they gave more sides proportionate to the meat. It was perfectly cooked medium, and the char from the grill was nice. You could tell it was topped with butter. A few of them saw what I ordered, and they were enticed to order one, too. Lol. I tend to lean towards gin drinks, and I like their Summer Fling cocktail and G+T which comes in what seems like a mini fish bowl glass. Two and a half of those will get me. Haha. I've also ordered green tea shots for a friend's birthday. I tried a rum drink for the first time. It was a specialty cocktail called Nice Melons which was created by one of the bartenders, and he happened to be there to make it for me. I quite enjoyed the pineapple and tropical flavors. It reminded me of rum punch I had in Turks and Caicos. They also have wine and mocktails which a few co-workers ordered. There's plenty of seating here. You can sit in the A/C at booths inside or stand at the standing tables. There are picnic tables and outdoor booth seating with fans blowing at the patio areas along the front, side, and back. My favorite is the multicolored heart wall that's inconspicuous from the outside. The only thing missing are swings. I won't hesitate to come back here for a drink or steak night. You shouldn't either.

    I have been to Wicklow Heights a handful of times over the past year. They offer fancy cocktails in a laid back setting. They have a small indoor area and a huge outdoor area with couches and benches. The patio is great when the weather is nice, though they have fans and heaters depending on the season. The patio has a huge screen which is great for catching a game. At night, they turn the music up inside so it can be hard to have a conversation. The menu has a lot to offer. The bartenders are very friendly and make great drinks. I'm a fan of the variations on the classic G&T. On my last visit, I had an espresso martini and it was excellent! I was pleasantly surprised at how good they made it. I have yet to order a drink that I did not like. They have a small parking lot out front. There's also street parking. Given that it's near a few bars, parking can be difficult during peak times. Wicklow Heights is great for a stop on a bar crawl or for a chill afternoon with friends.

    One of my tops in the area for sure. It's a great spot to hunker down at a table with friends and enjoy some drinks instead of fighting people at the bar to get noticed. You can order a drink at the bar or find a seat where wait staff will find you. They use QR codes at the table (and there are even some random specials on there!). If you want to take on the rest of the bars on the street, they're easy to get to as well.

    Wicklow Heights is always a good time. I loved the Old Fashioned made with William Price Cask Strength. Love seeing great whiskey behind the bar!

    I came here on a Saturday early evening. This is a bar hoping area for sure, where essentially you could park/ride share here, and walk up and down 19th, bar to bar. It was Kentucky Derby weekend. We sat on the patio out back. The inside of bar is cute too. Nice large screen TV to enjoy a game. It started out with a small crowd but grew larger, as it got later in the evening. My pals and I enjoyed this place. It was our first stop of the night. Drinks-I had the Oaxaca Flocka. I enjoyed all of fruit/veg in my drink. It became a snack after I sipped, lol. Cucumber, jalapeño, strawberries with the Tajin. I wish it was a larger size cocktail, but no complaints. My friends seemed to enjoy their cocktails as well. Parking is typical for heights, at your own risk.

    Fun bar! We mostly come here for bingo so service can be slow. Haven't tried the food but nothing beats the $4 espresso martinis!

    Better Half signature cocktail
    Jessica G.

    Really enjoyed coming here for happy hour! They have $8 cocktails until 6pm on weekdays which worked out well for my friend and I! We received great service - it was a quiet afternoon and we had plenty of great seating to choose from. I got the Better Half and it was beautiful and tasty - not too sweet and had a great floral flavor from the lavender bitters. They are currently renovating their bathroom area but what's nice is that you could pop across the way to use the other bar's bathroom if you didn't want to use the portable toilet. Definitely enjoyed this place a ton. Give them some love and try their tasty drinks!

    Tiny tini made with William Price Coffee Liqueur

    Great cocktail bar with one of the best patios in Houston! Went by on Thursday and they had $4 espresso martinis and $2 tiny tinis, free bingo and a food truck on site with awesome smash burgers. Will definitely be back again

    Espresso Martini
    Jason S.

    Wonderful bar with a unique list of craft cocktails. The espresso martini is very good. They do a free bingo on Thursday nights starting at 7. Great give away prizes and the espresso martini's are on special for $4. They have a nice onsite food truck. Inside seating is somewhat limited, but they have a large patio with plenty of tables. Parking lot is pretty small, but street parking is readily available. Staff is fantastic and always helpful. Avery is the best!

    This is a hidden gem! Literally googled late night bars and this place popped up! Staff is friendly, available parking in the lot, heavy handed bartender and cool music! Definitely will be back

    My friend and I had the opportunity to dine at Mutiny in the Heights on their final night. We were…read moreable to snag a last minute reservation on the patio. When my friend made the reservation, she received an email encouraging customers to visit the tasting room before or after dinner. We showed up an hour early to visit the tasting room, however the host had no idea what we were talking about. Turns out they weren't doing tastings. Luckily, we didn't have to wait to be seated. We initially had a table that was not near a heat lamp, however an employee came over and let us know that we could switch to a table near the heat lamp which was appreciated because it was chilly. Our server was Laura. She was nice and funny. They had $25 flight specials. I went with the Sayanara Flight which had white wines. I really enjoyed them and they weren't too sweet. My friend had an NA wine which she enjoyed. We ordered the Truffle Fries and Meatballs. Both dishes were tasty. I enjoyed the aioli that came with the fries. They had discounted wines for purchase. Not all bottles were 50% off, however the gentleman that we spoke to went ahead and gave me a 50% discount on both the rosé and pinot grigio that I purchased which was so appreciated! It seems like there are quite a few businesses around town that are closing. I'm sad to see Mutiny go, but I'm glad my friend and I got to dine in on their final night.

    "Closing time, you don't have to go home But you can't stay…read morehere." - Semisonic I have lived in the loop for 5 years now, and I'm sad to say that I finally tried Mutiny on their last day. I often pass by it going through a shortcut to I-45 and sometimes going home around the area. It's literally a 5-minute drive. I booked reservations Friday since I saw they opened up the 31st on Resy. It wasn't earlier in the week, but I knew it was the last day, and my friend and I really wanted to try. I'm glad we made reservations because they were at capacity (150 person capacity) and weren't taking any walk ins. We got there early cause Resy suggested checking out the Tasting Room before or after the reservation time. We got there about an hour earlier, and the host said he didn't know anything about that except that the Tasting Room area was used for events. Interesting. We were seated earlier on the patio on this freezing evening. At first, we were at a table that didn't have a heat lamp, but when one freed up, they were so nice to suggest that we move closer to the heat lamp since they saw us shivering. Lol. We were thankful for that. I wore fleece lined jeans and brought gloves and a beanie anyway having been in the below freezing winter in London. Laura was our server and was kind and funny. So was this other guy who checked in every now and then. He made light of their last day situation. The dining area is so beautiful inside. I love the limestone-looking interior and chandeliers. Reminds me of Fredericksburg or something. They had many large groups and a few small groups of friends or couples dining on this last day. Way to go out with a bang. A lot of the wines were selling out or already sold out around 7-8 pm. We tried the truffle fries and Sicilian meatballs with focaccia bread. I like the thick cut of the fries and the black garlic aioli. It reminded me of yuca fries. The Sicilian meatballs were a bit small, peppery and salty. I wish the marinara was a little more tart. The focaccia helped cut through the saltiness. I had 2 glasses of the NA Sauvignon blanc which was light and a little tart. They ran out of the NA red blend. My friend ordered Sayonara, one of their farewell flights which were aptly named for "goodbye". It was a great night on the patio but chilly. My friend purchased a rosé and a Pinot Grigio as part of their Last Sail wines. Actually, the Pinot Grigio wasn't part of the sale, and he was going to take off 20%, but he also made it 50% off. So nice!! I'm glad we got to try them on their last day. Bon voyage, Mutiny.

The place was dimly lit and there was a lot of seating, both indoor and outdoor. A lot of the seating inside was arranged as couches with low tables, which made for a very casual and relaxing vibe, while the overall atmosphere remained very classy. - Padre's Hotdog (4.5/5): I was told by my friend that this was the best hotdog ever so I had very high expectations and I wasn't disappointed. The bread was very buttery and nicely toasted. The frank itself was very juicy and I loved how the pico and mustard help cut through the fat. The thing that made this hotdog stand out was the cheese sauce. The cheese sauce was delicious and I could probably have just eaten that alone. One thing though, the hotdogs were a bit on the smaller size, you probably would have to order something else or a second hotdog if you were hungry. Would come back again just for this hotdog! Parking/Service: There was a small lot on the side of the building, but other than that you might have to street park in the neighborhood right next to it. The ordering system was a bit of a surprise for me. You have to walk in to the bar and order there.

The décor, wine list, menu, comfortable seating, and cozy atmosphere make it such a special spot. They offer wines for every taste and budget, and the staff is knowledgeable when asked for recommendations. That's why this is difficult for me to write. Despite visiting frequently, I've consistently found the customer service to be unwelcoming. The service has a strange tone, and it isn't limited to one employee they all seem to share the same indifferent, slightly annoyed demeanor. The experience feels less like genuine hospitality and more like, "You're here what can I get you?" On my most recent visit, others in my group noticed and commented on the same thing without any prompting from me. Since they had never been before, it confirmed that it wasn't just my perception. One small interaction captured the overall tone. We asked whether they happened to have a birthday candle, and an employee responded in an annoyed tone by pointing to the candle on our table which, realistically, no one would put on a birthday dessert. We completely understood that they might not have one; it wasn't an unreasonable expectation or request. A simple, friendly response like, "Unfortunately, we don't, but we do have some delicious desserts," would have been perfectly fine. It wasn't the answer that bothered us. it was the way we were made to feel for asking. It may seem like a small interaction, but great hospitality is built on small moments. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and inviting, but unfortunately, the service doesn't reflect that same feeling. People return to places where they feel welcomed and appreciated, especially in a city like Houston with so many wonderful food and wine options. I genuinely want The Library to thrive because it has everything else it needs to remain a true neighborhood favorite.

It's located right at 19th St. and Shepherd near the light. There's a small angled parking lot that can be tight when people park along the fence. It looks like a cute tiny A-frame home with a few patio tables in the front. The inner area has about 6-7 high tables. It's nice and clean inside. The vibe feels similar to H-Town Brewing Co. but on a smaller scale. You can also sit at the bar. I didn't really like the high tables/chairs. They're not as comfortable. It was hot out, and there are mosquitos, so we sat inside. I ordered the salmon plate for steak night. The drinks here are ok, and since I don't really drink, I was looking for mocktail options. In this era, most places have mocktail options with brand alternatives like Ritual, Seedlip and Lyre's or at the least, something with juice, Topo Chico and simple syrup. The female bartender made me a NA margarita which was great. I liked that she didn't make it too sweet or too tart which happens with mocktails that don't have alternatives and are mostly juice or lemon. On the other hand, when I ordered a second, the guy bartender made it too sweet. I didn't like his version. For the alcoholic versions, they seem to have good cocktails, wine, beer and flights. They also have daily specials. Aside from the steak night, they don't serve food here. It wouldn't be my first choice of bars in this area.
