Fireside Lounge (formerly Hello Vino)

Fun little place! Didn’t have food but drinks were good. Very relaxed environment and the aesthetic inside was nice.

tl;dr - I would go back, but for a post-dinner cocktail. I would not go back for the food.

I visited Fireside Lounge while on vacation. The lounge felt kind of out of place for the city, but that is okay. The atmosphere was dark and romantic. What I didn't like was the music, it was all over the place. Sometimes it played romantic songs, sometimes it was playing dubstep. The cocktails were fun. I got two and enjoyed them both. The first one was a chocolate one and the second was a cherry one. (I was in a sweet mood). The food was a little disappointing. I got the nachos and it felt like they were cheaply made. The cheese was burnt in some spots. It wasn't bad, but it also didn't match the price. I would go back, but I would check out other places first, and I probably would not eat there again.

What!? Bellaire’s first speak easy!:) I’ve been coming to bellaire for 40 years and I’m so happy to see a cool fun spot. But shhhhhh dont tell anyone how cool it is! Thx for a great night and excellent cocktails on that quaint patio. I’m looking forward to coming back when the weather get cold to sit in those cozy blue velvet chairs by the fireplace

My husband and I just tried this place for the first time this evening. We just dropped in last minute for a quick drink before closing. We really enjoyed the atmosphere of the back patio and the service was great. They turned one of their custom shots I wanted into a drink for me (because I wanted something I could sip on rather than shoot). It was delicious. We will be back to try more drinks in the future. ?

Fun place to chill with friends, came here after dinner from a work conference, I don’t drink so I didn’t have a cocktail but my coworkers loved a coffee cocktail they got and the espresso martini. The vibe inside felt very speakeasy-esque and the staff was friendly. Outdoor seating with patio heaters was nice as well for a quiet setting. Would love to try the food next time

Really cool spot for cocktails and food! We just had some drinks and an appetizer, but the location is amazing and they opened up a really nice outdoor area! Really recommend stopping for a cocktail!

Loud. Owner has an attitude. Over priced food and drinks.
