50 Best Bar & Grill in Houston

“Went here for brunch, it was 12pm and already packed. The Dj knew his mix. The staff was very friendly, the food could be better taste wise and serving warm food scores you higher points ?NOTE: do the valet parking, because parking anywhere else will get your car towed, it’s a kind of business in that area saying this from experience.“

“Prime is, hands down, our favorite kosher eatery in Houston. The owners immediately made sure we felt a warm welcome, even coming by with a taste of traditional arak and lemon drink. And the food! We started with the carrot and jalapeno salad, babaganush and beets - all excellent. Then we both got the "cheeseburger" which was served on a delicious (homemade?) bun, all sorts of traditional and no so other topping options. Yum. Yum. Yum.Then I saw the dessert choices and (while, darn, I'm on serious diet) I couldn't resist. I got the hot apple cake topped with parve vanilla ice cream and my daughter got the hot chocolate on chocolate cake with ice cream. The perfect ending. Slept like a baby! We'll be back next week“

“Tried out the famous Hot Cheetos Boudin Balls and I will say recommend. They are so good you can customize it your way. Do you want it spicy? Or Cheese to the point you will have a cheese pull like no other he got you. Beautiful atmosphere thank you for a wonderful experience.“

“Always dependable with a location that is super near my workplace. Today, however, its proximity to public transportation served me well as I was without a vehicle. The frozen drinks were fantastic on a day where I felt overheated. Extremely refreshing. So good in fact that I drank a bit quickly and got brain freeze (worth it). The Brussels with added pork belly were extremely satisfying as a meal.“

“We were able to literally walk "down the street" to Down the Street restaurant/bar. Food was slightly limited but varied enough to give everyone something they enjoyed. I think the limited offerings help us make quick decisions, plus they are able to focus on a few items they can prepare really well. Plenty of outdoor seating as well as indoor. Will definitely go back next time I'm in the neighborhood.Parking: The parking could get hard to find during busy times, but most customers walked which reduced the stress on parking.Kid-friendliness: We saw several kids having a good time as well as lots of dogs in the outdoor seating area.“

“In love with this spot! In town with friends and came here and just died. So well designed and decorated. The pizza and drinks were fantastic, with lots of variety within the menu for different preferences. The service was a bit slow and a few order mistakes were made, but they were slammed so it was totally understandable. Would definitely recommend!“

“My best friend googled hookah places in her area and this place had BY FAR THE BEST reviews. So we came. We definitely see why the reviews are so amazing. This place is absolutely amazing. Awesome friendly staff, perfect atmosphere and everything they serve is ToP NOTCH. If you haven't been, go NOW!!! THANK Y'ALL VERY MUCH“

“Very chill outdoor bar. The bartenders are cordial and friendly.Except for a large awning in front of the bar, seating is all outdoors.Went for their BOGO Burger Tuesday deal with some friends. Everyone was happy with their burger choices, guy and the burgers are grilled to order. Really good selection of burgers to choose from. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a low-key casual, patio bar.“

“First time in this place yesterday, and I'm sorry I waited so long to check it out. I really like the atmosphere/environment -- it's beautiful inside! Definitely classier than the dive bars that I frequent, so I was shocked when the bartender told me about the $2.50 Karbach special that they were running. I was only in there for one beer and an inning or two of baseball, but during that time the owner managed to come over and introduce himself. Chayn is a very affable and humble man...I wish every success for he and his team and look forward to going back soon!“

“Roasted boar with plum sauce, sauteed carrots and broccoli. I would have loved a little more plum sauce. It was so good. And of course to begin: escargot and French onion soup. Oh, and a very fair priced Cotes de Rhone wine. All things French on our 46th anniversary. I should have taken pictures, sorry. We were looking for something French and cuisine we don't prepare at home. BLC did not disappoint. The restaurant has been in business for over 30 years. My only suggestion is to update the interior just a little bit. Keep the Italian feel, maybe darken the ceiling tiles. Don't go contemporary. Just a suggestion. . My wife had the chicken and potatoes in a broth. The 2 bites she allowed me, were succulent, wonderfully flavorful, and definitely something unique to our culinary experiences.We'll be back.Kid-friendliness: I would say noisy kids might degrade the adult atmosphere.“

“Went to this place last Saturday to celebrate my best friend birthday. The place was nice and the food really tasty. We were a large party 10+ with kids (from 3-12 years old). Everything was ok and we were having a great time until we had some trouble with the checks (they messed up eventhoug we were very clear about who was paying what) anyway, this was ok because our waitress was very nice and patient so we didn’t care that much. When they already “fixed it “ there was a remaining amount to be paid but we didn’t know from where since we all have paid it all. This waitress call the “manager”and when this lady came out, she was with and attitude like “I’ll give you shots and a Margarita but I need this to be paid” let me clarify we never had a problem about paying, just wanted to understand why if we had already done it. We ended up paying and she brought this shots with that attitude but honestly we were having a great time. Later than this, we (the moms) saw her talking to our husbans and we noticed something was going on. When I approached them, I was told that we needed to leave. She said to them that our kids weren’t behaving so we needed to leave now. I didn’t understand at first because she didn’t say a word or someone else while we were there. She was mad because our kids were playing in the place right next to it and said they weren’t allowed, but the man in charge of that place said they were good. Anyway, she brought this plastic cups and in a very rude way was standing by us like we were criminals. No one else came to say anything, it was only her! She claimed that she had told us so many times (no even one) and that we needed to leave the place. She was rude, she had no respect at all, she made us have a really bad time which is sad because honestly the place was very nice and we went there because it was a “kids friendly “ place and all we wanted to do was to celebrate my friend! I never write reviews, but at this time I felt the need to do it. So sad to have to say this, but not returning to this place while still in charge of zero prepared person. (She never said her name)“

“Oh man I had a great time! I'm not a going out kind of person, so we took a chance and tried it out on karaoke night! Lol it was so much fun and the food was delicious! We had a few appetizers and wow were they tasty! The executive chef Gilbert was very friendly, came out to our table to see how we liked the food! The singers were fun great crowd! I was happy we came! Y'all should definitely come out and don't forget to eat while you're here and Lyft yourself home!“

“I love the pizza. We had the drago, topped with one of their in house hot sauces. There is a full bar with specialty drinks that were out of this world. They also showcase local seasonal beers. The servers are great ,joking and making us laugh the whole time. It was absolutely a wonderful night and we were just having pizza. Who knew pizza could be so awesome.“

“Loved the dive bar atmosphere, bar tenders were nice, great service and welcoming. The steak night there was enjoyable, I am use to being let down at virtually every steak night in-town. I decided to give them a chance, and I was not disappointed. I would gladly recommend this steak night to any steak lover out there.“

“Day 3 here! Food has been excellent along with the service. Bargain price on the bottled beer in Happy Hour, wish I’d found this place last Friday when I landed. Only one more evening after tonight before I fly back to Blighty, but I’ll be frequenting again next year!“

“Very welcoming staff , shout out to Mike (bartender ) went there on Wednesday afternoon after work for happy hour with the Bestie and I must say it’s the perfect place to unwind after a long day at work.. and also avoiding 290 traffic !!!!“

“Ladybirds is such a great neighborhood spot and the service is always so friendly. The patio is such a great space for a perfect weather day. We tried bingo and steak night and were not disappointed! The steak is HUGE, seasoned and cooked great. Baked potato and asparagus were yummy as well! I will definitely be back to try more of their food options but drinks are priced well!“

“If you love house and techno music this is the best place to go! once you go the first time, there's no turning back lol people are great, ambiance is amazing, and you will certainly dance the whole time!Parking: some times they have free parking depending on if theres a famous dj playing or not .“

“I ate here today with a couple of friends. The vibe was nice. Really good music especially for a Thursday. The food was actually better than expected. I got the 2 piece fried chicken and biscuit. Although, they were small, they were worth the price. My friends got the steak and my other friend got the crab cake and linguine and the only thing my friends said was that the baked potato on the side needed to have a little more flavor and the linguine needed a little bit of salt. Otherwise they enjoyed it as well !! The service was good as well, our server checked up on us often. Everyone was friendly.“

“All servers work as a Team and never left my drink empty and Food service was fast and hot when it got to the table. Wings are a 10/10 along with the street tacos ? ?. I recommend the spicy cucumber micheladas easy to drink and the flavors are The Best?“

“Tried this place for the first time for a movie night. We get there a little early for dinner and hang out a bit. Patio is nice and host took us immediately to our reserved table. Cocktails and food are good, but the food comes in small portions. We were a bit disappointed as the movie had no audio and it does not state that anywhere online. I did not mind as they were playing Jurassic Park and I’m a super huge fan. I pretty much quoted the movie to my friend and we had some laughs. Turned out to be a good night. I liked having smores while I watched the movie. Reminded me when I was a kid“

“Let me tell you...I was born and raised in 5th Ward so I will forever support business out here. We came yesterday and we are back today. They have a great list to choose from. The prices are very reasonable and so far from the 2 daiquiris I've had they are very tasteful. I love that the decor is purple, great swings, and welcome to fifth ward sign. Me and my co-workers have decided to come here often. It is owned by a very friendly female. We will be back!!!“

“Really cool spot, love the atmosphere, really creative outdoor seating. The food was excellent, corn tortillas are some of the best I've had. The nachos were piled high and were not light on toppings. The salsas were good, I plan to return and try more of the menu. The photos don't do it justice but the setting was very cozy. The server was very friendly, very nice bar if you're a drinker.Kid-friendliness: They have some activities for kids.“

“I highly recommend BPD! Such a great place to hang out with friends and have a few drinks and some food. Intimate enough but still a fun environment with great staff. The drinks were delicious and the food was better than I could’ve hoped for.“

“We love y'all we missed y'all and so glad y'all are back. ✨?Parking: They have a lot to park in and street parkingKid-friendliness: It's a bar, with a full bar full of alcohol. This is not a place for children. It's 21 and upWheelchair accessibility: Easy access to the entrance and the bathrooms“

“As a regular at On The Kirb, I've always been impressed by their commitment to using quality ingredients that align with a variety of dietary preferences. Imagine my delight when they introduced the option to have foods fried in beef tallow! This new choice is not a switch but a thoughtful addition, catering to those of us who crave a richer, more nostalgic flavor in our fried foods.During my recent visit, I opted for the french fries fried in beef tallow and was instantly transported back to the flavors of my childhood. This option added an incredible depth to the taste that you just can't achieve with other oils. It's clear that On The Kirb values customer preferences and is dedicated to enhancing our dining experience without compromising on variety or health.The atmosphere at On The Kirb remains as inviting as ever, with staff who are just as committed to providing excellent service as they are to ensuring the food meets all expectations. Whether you're in for a casual meal, a game night, or a happy hour, the vibe here is always spot-on.With this new frying option, I'm more excited than ever to explore more of the menu. Next on my list? The wings fried in beef tallow. If you appreciate having choices that cater to your dietary needs without sacrificing flavor, then you'll love this new addition at On The Kirb.Kudos to the team for constantly innovating and for making our favorite dining spot even more appealing. If you haven't tried the beef tallow option yet, you're in for a real treat!Dietary restrictions: They offer to fry their foods in beef tallow instead of seed oils and they use 100% grass-fed beef“

“JT was so nice and informative! We have been visiting Houston for 3 days now and I can honestly say that this was the best service that I have had and I have visited a few places! And in short she was awesome and really made me want to continue my day!“

“It was my first time there. I really liked the location and the vibe. The staff was really welcoming. It was during the week and was a bit slower, just perfect for me. I hear they are the place to be, especially on the weekends. Will definitely be back, plus it's in my old neighborhood. Didn't get the name of the young man who was checking on us and made sure I had water. He was super sweet and attentive.“

“So we were looking for something local and near the neighborhood and we found it!! I couldn’t believe this place had been open for 4+ years and we have been driving past it this whole time!! Kudos to the cook who prepared our food we tried the egg rolls, chilaquiles and quesadilla. Food was tasty warm and delicious. We definitely recommend and will be back to try the wings & other options. Place is an old steel house and you notice it once inside the restaurant!! Their drink menu was limited when we came but that didn’t stop the bartender who made some great cocktails!! Definitely recommend for the taste & value. This beats any fast food options and places open late near the area!! Oh yeah I came with the person who posted the review below!! lol“

“I was there on yesterday for a Day Party,and everything was nice from the atmosphere,to the service from my amazing waitress to the Hookah ladies to the Bartender. A nice Grown and sexy atmosphere that didn’t feel overcrowded. My beverages were great,and the burger I tried some of from a friend was seasoned and made to perfection,all the way down to buttering the bun!! I will be back!“

“Ashe is a fantastic spot for a delicious meal and a great night out. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, with a modern and stylish design. The menu features a wide variety of options, including classic grilled dishes, fresh seafood, and an extensive selection of drinks.“

“Space cowboy is one of our favorite spots in Houston. Why?They have a gianormous turfed patio (dog friendly) with TV's and swings everywhere so you can catch the best games or play some outdoor games like sand bags or beer pong AND there's a pool connected that you can enjoy on a hot summer day . BUT the best part is their Wednesday steak night which is the best biggest juiciest steak in town.“

“Will definitely come back.Great vibeGreat serviceGreat drinksDJ is also on point, playing music for everybody.It's like a neighborhood spot where everyone is invited. Ambiance is also nice with a pool in the back and lots of outdoor space.I will DEFINITELY be back. Also one of the best espresso martinis I've had.Parking: They have their own parking lot. Also parking on the next block of full.“

“The service was Fast and efficient just like a To-Go establishment. Not really the place to go for food, however they still do have the option for small bites. The vibe was just as i imagined, Quick, Fast and Affordable Alcoholic beverages.“

“Wonderful experience at NettBar! Tons of space and TVs for watching games. Family and dog friendly. Food and drinks were great! Lots of frozen drinks but also great cocktails, beer selection and non-alcoholic options as well. Will definitely be back!“

“The schnitzel and spaetzle are DELICIOUS here. Consistently good. The owner was also very accommodating also about us bringing a pup we are babysitting out onto the patio on our most recent visit. We are new to the area and delighted to discover a great local business.Update 4 years later: still delicious. I can't speak highly enough about the quality of the food here. Tried the weisswurst this evening. Packed with flavor on a crisp fresh bun. The dill spätzle is still my favorite. It's an unassuming spot, this place, but give it a shot.“

“Went to meet a friend to play Bingo on Wednesday's and found out that it was Whiskey Wednesday (20% off Whiskey) and $8 Burger Basket. WIN WIN!!First, the food is really good. Burgers have nice flavor and texture (not a really skinny patty either). The fries/tots are crispy and fluffy. But let me tell you about the service! I told them my name when I first arrived, and throughout the night they called me by name even until I walked out the door. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! And will be coming here again.PS. BINGO can have upwards of $250 pots!!!“

“Love this spot. This is my top 10 fav brunch spots in Houston for food and just the love of brunch. Cute spot too. The servers scare me but like in that cool way. Hate to say but their bacon sucks. But it's so fine they make up for it in their drinks. Parking lot also sucks but it's kinda the area so you just gotta deal with it in that neighborhood.“

“This place is very nice! Went for a beer on a Thursday and the vibe was super nice, they have a large outdoor area and if you want to buy food there is a food truck to order at (idk about food, I only ordered a beer). They have a large outdoor screen which I'm sure will have any major game playing whenever there is one (also not really a sports fan, but I'm positive they will have any major games). Also has signs for trivia nights and other fun activities.“

“After doing some research and finding out that this place is a Latino gay bar FIVE minutes from my house I ZOOMED over: Hikeem was such an amazing bartender, he made the best green tea shot I’ve ever had in my life, and the grilled chicken sandwich was excellent. This will be my summer patio spot for sure (did I mention the patio is dumb cute). They have plenty of events and drag shows y’all stop sleeping!!“

“If you’re looking for a bar like cheers where everybody knows your name-this is the place for you! All the bartenders are great, but Kathy and Miranda have truly become family! They take such good care of us! Even the food is great- shoutout to Pedro!“

“? The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and doesn't have excessively loud music.? There were people of all sorts here, but it seemed like a popular meet-up spot for friends and business.? The owner was friendly and regularly hopped between tables to check on friends and other patrons.? The food is good. They have some sort of cauliflower nuggets, which taste great and give vegitarians something to eat. The wings are flavored well, too. I saw a plate of fish and chips being served to a table and am eager to try them.? The various ranch sauces were slightly watery, but will otherwise lend the standard "ranch" flavor for someone who's had a few drinks ?f“

“Food is good. The atmosphere is great. Very clean place. It’s becoming my normal stop. I’ve been there about five or six times. In every time. It’s been a pleasant experience. The bartenders are very professional and friendly. The waitresses are on point. I recommend this place.“

“I have been here twice now, and both times have been extremely positive. Great customer service, friendly staff, excellent value, and delicious drinks. I started off to try another place across street but the lady was so rude I left and came here. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you Daiquiri Island!“

“We went to try Salty Dawg Bistro for a late lunch. Boudin egg rolls were amazing. The ribeye was better than my usual steakhouse. We're going to make this a regular stop so we can try everything on the menu. Great job and quality food, Tracy! See you again soon!“

“Super chill place with bar vibes and restaurant quality food which totally surprised me. They had really good deals on food and alcohol combos. They also have a nice 6ft pool table which is a huge plus. The staff are very friendly as well. I will continue going back.“

“Excellent customer service, it is a family and friendly bar, where you can play bingo and pool, in a fun atmosphere, with good music, you can watch NBA games, it is a sports bar. Att. RichyParking: It has a large parking lot.Wheelchair accessibility: If there is access for people with disabilities“

“Small cozy spot on the weekdays that transforms into a lit club and gets packed on the weekend! Hands down the spot for either a date, party, or celebration on this side of town. And they got a kitchen too. Owners are really nice and staff has great service! Best part is they got hookah! They went all out on renovations and it’s clean and upscale. Caters to Spanish and desi !“

“Came kind of early before the party lol just for some food and drinks. All of the food was absolutely delicious! The staff was nice and friendly. They were playing good music that put you in a good mood. The place was comfortable and looked nice inside and out. Only problem I had was I don’t think the prices match what they are ringing up. I added everything up before paying and they came back with over $30 more dollars added ??‍♀️“

“Love the place!!! Stop next door to buy my wife a massage voucher for her birthday today and my car would start after. While waiting on her to come and get me went in and had a beer. Friendly staff and customers. Was surprised by the Sonesta Essential Houston Westchasemenu. Will be back for the lamb chops soon.“
