    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!

    The better half drink

    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

    Since our first visit to Baso, have been eager to return so we went for our anniversary dinner…read moreyesterday evening. Waited too late to book reservation so got bar seating but it was just fine and service was great. Upon arriving we were so nicely greeted by the hostess, felt very welcome. Our cocktails were very good--and Old Fashioned and a "Crime!". For a starter we had the aka obi, then the endive salad (best I've had!) and for entrees we shared the shrimp and the whole striped bass which is butterflied. For dessert we got the Basque Cheesecake and it was heavenly. Baso has quickly become my favorite high-end restaurant in the Heights. The portions are nice and the flavors are outstanding. We left beyond satisfied and looking forward to our next foodie adventure at Baso.

This is a bit of a dated review, but we came here for a Valentine's dinner as a special occasion. We got seats at the bar counter behind the fire (which to me was the best seat in the house) so we could be close to the action. One thing you'll notice is that the place is quite loud, I think which owes to the low ceilings (so don't expect like a quiet and romantic vibe). The meal started out great with the bread and butter - bread was sourced from Magnol, which was a huge green flag to start. The oysters were extremely fresh and absolutely delicious. We also had a dish with tuna over crispy rice which was my fiancee's favorite of the night. My personal favorite was the salad (I know that is crazy to say at a restaurant that specializes in live fire cooking) - but the way they zested all different types of citrus/lemons, peppers, chiles, and the way the herbs they put into it, created what was one of the most memorable salads I have ever had. All in all the food was excellent. Service was great (the night we were there, Max Lappe was there sending out food to customers himself). I do kind of wish the atmosphere was a little more quiet. With that said, expect to spend around $200pp (we did share a bottle of wine though).

This location is casual and has plenty of seating (tables, bar + outdoor seating). You order at the counter and typically wait around 20 minutes for the pizza to be ready. It can definitely get busy which makes parking a bit tricky, but I've always managed to get parking in the lot. My go-to is the fancy backpacker. I've only tried the Pepperoni Madness and Fancy Backpacker. The crust is perfectly thin and the toppings pair well together. I would also recommend adding pepperoni to the Fancy Backpacker. Gypsy Poet is always consistent with the taste and service, you can always expect a good experience in both aspects. I think it definitely lives up to the title of having the best pizza in Houston and is one of my favorite go-to dinner spots!

Similar but also different feels in the heights. Our group made a pickup order online and it was still a bit of a wait when we got there. (Place was packed though, lots of families out on a Saturday night so totally get it) The pizza here is always impressive and one of the better options in Houston imo (limited choices though haha), fresh ingredients like basil in every box is a good value add.. the hot honey on top is a must for me and complement pretty much all their pizzas. My friend ordered 4 kinds and also added an order a dessert pizza (Nutella) and it was dangerously good.. They also got a good selection of drinks from wine to brews to non-alcoholic options. They do have a small patio, seating is limited as previously mentioned. It's counter service; Parking lot is a bit tight and it's in the heights so definitely a caution. Overall, I'd say it's a good pizza joint but definitely need to factor in the wait, the parking and costs before you go.
