“Excellent place. Excellent staff. This place is amazing. Always it can't get any better but it's very entertaining no matter what day it is. So you got to come down to batches at Evelyn's Park on Bel Air boulevard and enjoy it like any other place.“

“I was so i impressed with the food and service that i went back a second time. The food here is outstanding and there are no words to describe Francisco. He was just awesome! The food here is made with love and pride. We need a XOCHI in NYC. If you come here once, you will come back many times. It’s that’s good!!“

“I was there on 5/13 with family to celebrate my birthday. service was excellent and food was good as usual. The big disappointment was finding out they don't have the crab and spinach enchiladas anymore, IMO that was the best dish they had.“

“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.“

“Clarkwood offers a charming and inviting ambiance, perfect for a relaxed evening out. The warm lighting and tasteful décor create a cozy atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. It's always pretty busy as well, so it's a great place to start out your night. What truly sets Clarkwood apart is the exceptional service provided by Deija.

Her friendly demeanor enhanced our overall experience and left a lasting impression. The bar itself boasts an impressive selection of drinks, with a diverse menu that caters to all tastes. Whether you're in the mood for a classic cocktail or something more adventurous, the bartenders at Clarkwood are skilled at their craft and can whip up the perfect drink.

“This is my go to spot for when I don’t feel like doing work at a coffee shop. I usually just sit at the bar. Lily, my bartender was great! While I’m working I really appreciated her keeping the area tidy. The drinks were fantastic and the food came out fast. Go check out Flight Club!“

“Great neighborhood spot in Spring Branch. Been visiting off & on for years, but this is quickly becoming our new favorite go-to spot. Great draft selection, plenty of bottles & cans, great seltzer options & wine as well. Very mellow vibe always. Perfect amount of lighting inside. Cozy vibes. Plenty of seating. Backyard area is sweet & intimate. Everything is priced extremely reasonably. No pomp & circumstance involved. Great weekly date night spot for a few easy drinks. Owner is a nice guy too.“

“Amazing dinner for two at the upstairs bar at steak 48. Service is impeccable. Bread service is really delicious. Caesar salad, kc bone in strip and sides are all amazing. Had a few different types of old fashioneds. Again, service is really above and beyond. Steak is amongst the best in Houston.“

“I went here with some coworkers after dinner to relax and take in the fresh air. I had quite a few drinks before so my opinion is a bit skewed. The atmosphere and vibes here were incredible for a Monday night. It was chilly but their fire stands kept me warm. The bartenders were incredibly nice and were very knowledgeable about the drink menu. I had a coworker acknowledge that they make the best green tea shots, so do what you want with that information. It was definitely a night to remember and hoping to visit again.“

“It was alright. Place has a very cool vibe, and a very cool bar. I will definitely be back for the bar. The food was pretty basic for how expensive it was, and the menu was extremely busy, considering their target audience. We had a whole lot of trouble staring at the menu. Talk about too many words on a sign! What were they thinking??? I “highly” recommend checking out the menu online to get an idea of what you want, so you aren’t just staring at the sign at the counter with mad confusion. Great service, and everyone was very cordial. Hangry people behind you maybe not so much. Definitely worth checking out. The Kool-Aid on tap is a great added touch!“

“My first time here, not only were we sat at a great section (seating is everything to me/it’s a vibe) but I had Keanon which made the entire experience freaking PHENOMENAL!!!!! I’m so picky with cocktails so I always order a dirty martini to be safe (trust me, restaurants do mess that up) but the cocktails were so good, well shaken. Keanon was so intuitive and checked in periodically without being overbearing where we felt like it’s a low key hint that I leave. Love Keanon and will request/visit soon!!Food isn’t great but atmosphere and service is everything. That’s my struggle when choosing a date -night restaurant. Atmosphere was great, drinks were awesome, food is mediocreService and atmosphere here is 10. Food…go to your nearest fav spot after leaving this place.“

“Because of the food and proximity to the convention center, this has become a tradition every visit to Houston.Great burgers with great ingredients! The rest of the food is great as well.Service was quick and friendly and handled our group of 11 with ease.“

“Hidden gem! I googled "Daiquiris near me" & find this place. Love the variation of flavors that they have available. The lady behind the counter was super nice. She will let you sample too! Pink Passion was the bomb! Will be back for happy hour!!“

“This is hands down the best ethiopian restaurant in houston, very clean environment, the restroom ? .we've been few times for family and friends birthday everything was perfect ?. The service is phenomenal. Great ambitious we ordered 3 meat combo and 3 veggie combo the food is over the top delicious,doro wot amazing. We'll be back definitely for my sister birthday next month ?“

“We love this little neighborhood pub!So many delicious options for food and the bartenders are all super friendly!Definitely checkout the boiled peanuts, Astrodog and the grilled cheese.Vegetarian options: Pretzel with cheese, grilled cheese, salad, fried pickles“

“I'm so glad I had a great experience at Social Beer Garden with their bartenders! Renee provided top-notch service and created a welcoming atmosphere for me. Taking the time to leave a positive review for a business, as well as mentioning the hard work of the bartenders is something i usually dont do, but can be a fantastic way to show my appreciation and support. I hope that my future visits to Social Beer Garden continue to be just as enjoyable thanks to their fantastic bartending team!“

“Great brewery with a strong menu. Went there for lunch at 11 AM on a Saturday. Ritchie welcomed us to the brewery, then ran through what was on tap and their food offerings before pouring us some of the breweries reverse osmosis water. I hate going somewhere and drinking some funky tap water with my beer l, so this was great.My beer faces were Who’s Your Paddy? Irish Red and Hot Boi Blueberry/Raspberry Blonde Ale. Both were excellent, with the Side Gig Sour Ale and Gurl Dinner Stout getting honorable mentions. All were very drinkable session beers, great for enjoying in their fresh and open taproom.For lunch, we opted for a breakfast pizza off the brunch menu and some Brussels sprouts off their normal menu. The breakfast pizza crust had a chewy interior and a crisp exterior, perfectly done. Sausage, egg, and tots were supported by a delicious white sauce. The sprouts were seared in a Szechuan sauce and topped with pickled onions, sesame seeds, and pumpkin seeds. I could have eaten those all day.Cannot recommend this place enough, and kudos to Richie (beer tender) and Bobby (chef) for their hospitality, excellent service, and engaging conversation.“

“By far, this establishment has been beyond accommodating and kind to EVERY patron that has walked in the front door. I have been a customer here for almost 6 years and have NEVER felt un acknowledged. EVERYONE in the staff iprofessional and by far the kindest Crew. Love this place!!!“

“A really great atmosphere to be at if you're in the area! They have video games, comic books, a room to play table tennis and overall great people here. They also have The Simpsons playing on repeat which is always nice. My only real issue with the place is that the restrooms aren't exactly clean and parking can be very hectic. Other than that, I enjoy it here!“

“Literally my new favorite place to eat! Even better than Fogo de Chao. The food was delicious. Excellent cuts of meat. Well seasoned. The best dining experience ever. Our waiter was the best ??. The restaurant was beautiful. The atmosphere was relaxing and again the service was above and beyond. We definitely recommend eating here for date night, anniversaries, any special occasions or just an outing with the family. It is the best atmosphere for any occasion. And of course the best part was dessert! ?“

“Found this gem on a recent work trip to Houston. Impeccable service. We were welcomed and treated like old friends or family. The awaze tibs were delicious, perfectly flavorful and spicy. They also happily accommodated my friend’s request for a vegan dinner which she said was fantastic.“

“WAN poetry is a very important part of our cultural identity as a city and a poetry community. Rudyards does a wonderful job of giving the artist community a safe space to gather and share their work with others. It has been part of my life for 20 years now and I love knowing that it will always be my favorite place to perform or applaud the performance of others.“

“Fabulous place to get really good cocktails. The atmosphere is something really magical, with space design to tell stories, great lights and bar. But unique feature is live music, really gives another dimension. Cocktails can be crafted based on your preference while their choice is also amazing. Price is standard. Plenty of parking.“

“This bar was a really cute gem I stumbled on. The drink and food menu was impressive. And I really loved the atmosphere, with the option of live music during the week! The cherry on top was that the staff was super kind, and she took her time to make sure everything was great for our group. I will definitely be back :)“

“If you're looking for a great no-frills bar that guarantees an enjoyable time, Grand Prize is a must-visit. As soon as you step in, it feels like you've been transported back in time to the coolest neighborhood bar from your favorite 80s movie. The crowd is diverse, the DJs are top-notch, and the drinks are excellent. To top it off, they have a fantastic rooftop patio upstairs with plenty of seating to mix and mingle. This bar quickly became one of my favorites.“

“Best daiquiris. I’ve had. They better than Bourbon St. Daiquiris, Daiquiris to Geaux. Candy Shack. Eskimo Hut and Fat Tuesdays. They add shots that get you right.. I love the Drunk in Luv and Savage flavor. Although I do need to try other flavors.. but these flavors are my obsession right now .. DONT GO ANYWHERE ELSE YOUR GONNA LOVE THESE DAIQUIRIS AT K BLENDS.“

“OMG Such a welcoming place to visit . The staff is so nice and very attentive when it comes to making sure that you are very well taken care of while enjoying every moment .Celebrated my birthday here and when I tell you Me & My Girls had the most amazing time . I look forward to coming back again very soon. Vertex Lounge definitely has the vibes ,very affordable, great staff & really good hookah.“

“93' Til is a delightful neighborhood hot spot with amazing upscale food, great cocktails, and a chill atmosphere with a variety of seating options, including couches and soft chairs. They are often spinning records or playing other cool vibes. The music is sometimes loud but sometimes less so. The people are super nice, and any of the staff might stop by to check on you rather than just having one assigned server. Would recommend as a place to go with friends or simply chill out.“

“What a cute speakeasy! Tucked inside a Chinese restaurant, this unsuspecting bar is such a treat to discover.On top of that, the drinks were exciting and delicious! I had the matcha gin drink which blended so much more perfectly than I could have imagined. Also tried the salty kitty; a little too sweet for me but love the contrast and creativity of the salty foam and sweet drink underneath.Bartenders are knowledgeable, helpful and playfully sassy. Great convo and insight on the menu.Don't tell anyone about this place so we can keep it to ourselves! We'll be back soon for dumplings!!“

“Ambiance: I went here with family on a week night. This is in the heart of downtown so expect down town parking, side streets. Service: there was two bartenders and we had a good night. Food: no food but we just had high ball japanese whiskey. This place is a vibe.“

“Very very very cute and fun bar. The concept and decor is so cool! i loved it. The drink was delicious and was on the happy hour menu. They had a pool table and a shuffle board table. Very unique and i would definitely come back if i was in the area. Also i really like that you get a ticket to put towards the charity of your choice!“

“Loose Cannon is a cozy dive that has a little something for everyone. This is one of those spots where you can walk through the door knowing that whether you're alone or with company you're going to have a nice time.I've been to Loose Cannon with friends and/or family several times. Parking is never an issue with additional spots to the left of the building and each time I go I have the same experience: the bartenders and patrons here are super welcoming and friendly, the atmosphere is extremely cozy, and the drinks are comparatively cheap but delicious. They also host occasional events such as steak and comedy nights that I have yet to try, but my family has told me they enjoy.If you're looking for a no-nonsense come-as-you-are-good time, I couldn't recommend Loose Cannon more.“

“Comfort place to hang and drink. This place might look small and hidden but has so much to offer. Starts with a great atmosphere, great drinks, great food options and overall great bartenders. Parking: it's limited, but also has street parking. Price: low-average Seating: indoor and outdoor Has great music playing and a cool dancing spot.“

“Nice black owned and women led establishment in East downtown. Definitely bringing the vibes. Great tasting hookahs friendly staff drinks are on point. They’ve got themed nights so you’ll never know what you’ll get on a weekly basis. Came for bingo night. Got to meet amazing locals in the city.“

“Stopped by here one afternoon after passing by it. Had an outstanding time!The owner is absolutely one of the nicest people and very informative and takes the time to explain all of the beers. Great local spot and plenty of room inside if you want to bring a big group! There are also a few game nights each week, so check them out! Highly recommend if you're visiting or in the area. There are also TVs in case you want to catch a game!“

“Both the bartenders here, Erica and the one who worked on Christmas, are an absolute delight. Their knowledge and sense of humor remind you why bartenders deserve such great tips! The pickle plate was a surprising bonus-- absolutely loved the pickled daikon!“

“I have been to every place in Houston that sells pizza that’s worth going to and this one has the best pizza hands down. The dough is fantastic, crispy and chewy. Sauce is tangy and robust. Nice ratio of cheese. Very impressed as I wasn’t expecting it be so good. Definitely a hidden gem in the East End.“

“My partner and I wandered into this place while walking the dogs. We've now made it our regular spot. They are so kind with the dogs. It feels like they are hosting them as well! They bring them a dog bowl with ice water and a huge dog treat. I got to know Shannon today after seeing her several times, and I can't wait to spend so much more time there. It's a great spot off the beaten path of white oak and it may be my favorite my place to stop in from now on. Here's to many more random visits!“

“Sad to say that I have worked in the area for years and I never thought of coming here but my friend asked me to lunch so I finally got the chance to go. I was missing out! I had the ceviche which was absolutely delicious and a margarita which was STRONG but delicious. Loved it so much we went the next day and got a bit too drunk off the margaritas for Happy Hour lol which I haven't done in years but it was awesome! Definitely coming back but now I'll have to watch myself cause these margaritas are deliciously dangerous! Haha“

“Nice outdoor seating, with a laid back atmosphere, the staff was friendly and very attentive ? our drinks were perfect and the food came out fast. A good spot to chat, grab a drink and hang outKid-friendliness: Ping pong tables, and open space for kids to run around and play“

“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!“

“Love the laid back atmosphere! But it's always top notch service when you have Jon or Katie as your bartender! They are with it and will remember you the next time you come in. Tanner is great too when he is there! Jon and Katie have our ❤️!“

“We went here for my friend's birthday & could not have asked for a better experience or food! The waitress Hailey was AMAZING, she ensured we had a 5 star experience. She went out of her way to have the staff write a birthday card for my friend & she was given a complimentary desert. The food was amazing & authentic Italian! The portions are huge. The restaurant was low lighting with candles, making a nice vibe. Great place for family, date or friends to eat. The bathrooms were nice & clean (because this matter's!)“

“I had an amazing experience at this brewery during an office party. Being the oldest craft brewery in Texas, the place exudes history. The restaurant's artistic decor and Game-of-Thrones vibe with wooden beams and chandeliers create a unique atmosphere.Inside, chapels filled with captivating artwork add to the charm. There's also outside seating by a fountain resembling an overflowing beer chalice, providing a delightful setting for a meal. The Beer Garden, adorned with art cars, adds to the overall appeal.I highly recommend this spot for not just the excellent food and brewery, but also for the rich artworks and historical ambiance. A must-visit!“

“This is one of my favorite places to go relax. I charge my Taycan at the dealership then head on over. Steven and his team are FANTASTIC! They are always creating new drinks, so I'd recommend asking them to create one for you (mixologist) instead of ordering off the menu. But either way, you're going to enjoy your cocktail. But to be honest, not really a fan of all the college kids hanging out there like it's a freaking Starbucks. A bar is a BAR. But I still love Podium and Steven and his team.“

“My friend mentioned Cheba and I had to google it because I'd never heard of it. So glad I didn't make any other suggestions. This place was a VIBE!!!! The atmosphere was welcoming. The staff greeted you as soon as you came through the door. The menu is very straightforward but they let you make changes to the sub according to your taste buds. They even have Kool-aid & had Bob's Burger playing. I ordered the White Widow. It's grilled chicken breast, bacon, ranch, shrooms (got these on the side ), provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion & pickle (both on the side too), Shake & House dressing. The combo includes chips and a drink. My childish self mixed all the kool-aids together (talk about nostalgia). I loved this place & I'm now hooked!“

“Updating my review because I have been here several times since my last review. This place is the best. A true gem of spring branch. 5 stars as a music venue, as well as just a chill neighborhood dive bar. Bartenders are the best here. Cheap drinks. Some arcade games and pool table. Spacious outdoor patio area. Big enough parking lot. I love it, come support this place“

“Crust Pizza is a wonderful combination of a dine-in / take-out pizza joint and a trendy sports pub with an outstanding selection of beers on tap.My first experience with Crust was to stop by and order two of their combo pizzas for take-out. Expecting my order to take at least 15 minutes, I wondered over to the pub side of the joint to enjoy a refreshing cold brew. I was only about half way through my beverage, comfortably relaxed at the bar, and enjoying the sports offering on the three large overhead screens, when my pizzas arrived. It couldn't have been much more than 10 minutes after I ordered them.I see that they have a half-price spe which I will definitely take advantage of. But the food, the beer selection, the service, and the atmosphere mer many repeat visits on the other days of the week as well.“

“Cool chill spot in downtown! The drinks were strong but everything was really great. The bartenders were a friendly and the place was really nice. I legit would have missed it if I wasn't paying attention when we walked there! Definitely a low key spot in Downtown to chill at!“
