“The BEST ceviche I’ve ever had!“

“Great Service Great Drinks Great Food“

“First time guests, but will be back soon. Great place.“

“Amazing mezcal dinner. Had the best time with the best food and drinks.“

“Did this place have a diff name? I think my dad visited in the 80's, maybe was a cantina back then.“

“Love the atmosphere of this place. Great spot for a date night out. I came out on a Thursday around 9:30 and it was pretty packed. Didn’t have to wait too long to find 3 seats at the bar though. Great old fashion mezcal and palomas! I forgot the lady’s name that was helping us, Regina? I know it started with an R though - stellar service!!

Super cozy, autumn , somewhat Hogwarts vibes lol!“

“staff were very helpful and informative. And just saying this is the new pre game spot!!“

“HOLY SMOKES! The dinner menu here is AMAZING. We came with friends and tried so many dishes and truly they were all so good, I was blown away. The mashed potatoes are the best I’ve ever had!!! Short rib French fries Short rib grilled cheese Salmon Chicken Caesar family Mac and Cheese Steak with Chimichurri Literally everything was so so good!!! Also the team here is so fun and nice. We have loved coming here for drinks — but I hadn’t come for full dinner until tonight and I think this is going to be a new staple in our date nights!!!! — BUT ALSO THEY HAVE MOVIE NIGHTS FOR KIDS ON WEDNESDAYS!!!“

“From the valet, the staff, and the bartenders, everyone was friendly & chill. The atmosphere was energetic & the vibe was good. Definitely going back.“

“What a gem! I was sad about Big Owl Craft Brew House closing near me so I ventured out to look for an alternative and think I found my new spot!

Happened to be here on a Thursday which is when Bourbon Butter Steaks is there! Wow. The beer selection was insane. Especially the canned gems from other states.“

“I’ve been to Flight Club a few times and it’s always been well managed, fun, with great food and service.

Parking, however is no longer free in the garage. The sign was quite inconspicuous (on the floor by the exit??) which led to people getting tickets from “Parking & Transportation Compliance Inc.” from Florida. I believe they have added pay to park signs on the pillars inside the garage now, so be sure to scan them or you’ll get a $45-$85 fine.“

“Caller bar feels like a home atmosphere with great games, drinks and company. Eli always greets me with a smile and gets my order promptly and also offers to take it to my table. This place is a hidden gem among bars and highly recommended coming out to enjoy a drink!“

“Houston history throughout the place“

“We visiting Houston from NJ and we love it here“

“Looking forward to making my debut January 28, 2024! Word on the street it’s the coolest spot in HTown!“

“My sisters and I stopped by here while making a stop to Lotus across the street. The daiquiris and Jell-O shots were great. Michelle showed excellent customer service as well.“

“Niaa needs to be a waiter she very sweet and pretty and honest I love her to death“

“Nice place to hang. Great bartenders.“

“Fun place to have a drink and start the night for some east austin fun!!“

“This was our favorite place in Houston! Great atmosphere and drinks and pizza. We actually forgot our debit cards there and the owner was nice enough to mail them back to us since we are from out town! 10/10 would recommend!“

“We attended Reggae Night on a Thursday and had a great time! When we arrived around 9:30pm, the DJ (Caucasian male) was jamming, even though the crowd was small. We grabbed seats at the bar and ordered rum punch and wings, both of which were really good. Between playing Connect 4, dancing, and soaking in the music, we enjoyed ourselves for a little over an hour. Definitely a fun, laid back vibe!“

“Great chill vibes, was able to have a conversation with my date and the craft cocktails were both reasonably priced and actually quite unique and intriguing. I tried the Trinidad James since I love black sesame despite not normally being someone who can stand Angostura Bitters but it was beautifully balanced and I'd order it again in a heartbeat. This bar is definitely now on my shortlist for when I'm downtown.“

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Eggnog and Dirty Santa are back on the seasonal menu. There’s no place in Houston with better seasonal drinks! The staff puts so much care and creativity into offering a fun and joyful drinking experience year-round.“

“Relaxed atmosphere - especially after the lunch rush!“

“Had the most amazing, heartwarming experience. A super nice gentleman paid for our dinner. THANK YOU sir for such a warming gesture and foe teaching our children to spread the love and to aways vibe when you are able to. This place was amazing and so was the staff. We will be visiting very soon. ❤️🙏🏻“

“I really enjoyed a gathering of the houston symphony league wine society at the vine memorial. I was delighted to be introduced to this local spot and found it comfortable, warm and inviting. The staff was lovely and attentive.“

“Great experience and got to meet Zakk Wylde“

“My wife and I ended up here after dinner and we loved the vibe of this place!

It's always nice when a bar has a menu of specialty drinks, and Roswell didn't disappoint! Their drinks also seemed to include an ingredient that would glow well under black light, and the whole bar is lit with them.

The bar was clean, the staff was friendly, the drinks were good! I liked the decor and they have really leaned into the black lights, and pulled it off well!

Definitely a place I'd visit again!“

“Love the Atmosphere, Bartenders were fantastic“

“Cool, laid-back spot. Great daiquiris!! Tasty bar food!“

“The food here was amazing. My partner and I visited during happy hour and were immediately seated and served. On a beautiful day, I would always choose to sit outside and upstairs!
They are doggy friendly in the outdoor seating on the first floor. Drinks & food was AMAZING!
I will definitely visit again before I leave Houston!“

“Excellent service and food! Highly enjoyed our first visit“

“This is the first time my husband and I went to this bar. The second we walked I knew that I would come back. The drinks are really good. The cocktails are delicious and the atmosphere is super chill. We didn’t get any food, but the kitchen smelled really good.“

“I was just down the street doing laundry and I had about an hour to wait, so i started walking down the street and came upon WAlabama Ice house, they where playing slow soft music. So I went in and ordered a beer, the bar tender was very polite and the people around me were super friendly, I almost wished I could stay longer, I even meet a very sweet women there. But i soon had to go and get my laundry and take it home.“

“In terms of the low-key Houston experience, and perspective, this spot is in a superposition. Imagine the possibilities ;)“

“Always a wonderful evening, and the live jazz nights are superb. Food is great but the cocktails are incredible, their 3 bean espresso Martini is to die for and presentation is top notch.

Very accessible with an elevator to the bar, and and always welcomes my service dog Nyota. You know who we are!“

“Was my fav downtown spot when I visited Houston recently for the first time. We stayed in the hotel and the views of the city were incredible!“

“Esmerada atención buen servicio“

“Not bad.
Despite the small, awkward men's room setup, a $3.79 Lone Star longneck at 11 p.m. on a Friday make me like this place right away.
The last place I was at tonight wanted $6 for theirs, and they weren't as nice a place as this.“

“This place looks nothing like you think it would, the outside is very deceitful. The ambiance was so chill and the details from the gold metal straws, the wallpaper, ceiling, and the velvet green and gold trim chairs were so beautiful and classy. It was my 1st time and I will return. Certain drinks are pricy though, but tasted great!“

“Love this for our corporate luncheon!“

“Where everyone knows your name…“
