Went late on a Saturday night and the street as well as the bar was busy! Fun spot to try rums!

Absolutely fantastic venue. We had a private event here for a corporate event and Antonio was fantastic. Cannot recommend enough!

Nice spot, been here a few times already, drinks are always on point. The patio area is a nice touch. Only downside is whoever is on the microphone talks too much when the DJ is working. Ain’t nobody trying to hear this cat say “yeah”, “lit” or “let’s MF go” every 25 seconds.

Hosted my husband's 40th birthday last weekend on the second floor patio side area and everything turned out great. Was in touch w the GM Lucas via email and text beforehand and although there were definitely lags in communication/response times via phone and email initially he was more than helpful on the day of the event and stayed true to his word. Really nice guy and seemed to genuinely care that we had a good time and the party went as planned. Lucas had recommended a restaurant nearby for catering as there is no food menu at the bar and that turned out to be a spot-on recommendation as well. Guests loved the sleek bar look, the patio on the second floor and the cocktail selection, was a great layout. People were able to sit, dance, and go outside and chill as they wanted. Bartenders were also nice and quick w the drink orders. Overall service, vibes and ambiance were fantastic. We were able to use one of the bar's screens outside for a slideshow though audio wasn't able to play which was understandable. Pricing was great and on budget (no venue fee, was able to purchase drink tickets at a very reasonable cost to reserve the area for 3 hrs). Bar also had a DJ booked for the night spinning all the latest music. After our reservation ended we were able to stay but other guests were allowed in the area as well, which was fine. It didn't feel overcrowded. The late night crowd is a bit younger and not as "polished" but expected for this area at night and things never got out of hand. Towards the last half-hour of our booking we also had 2 of our reserved tables used from an outside hookah company but Lucas quickly took care of it when I pointed it out. We also did have a few party crashers try and get in during our reservation time despite the reserved signs (signs provided by the bar) but they quickly left and it wasn't a big deal. 10/10 would recommend, just don't let the slow response times scare you off.

Favorite hangout in downtown Houston! Besides their drink menu being stellar they always have the greatest staff working there! No matter where we go downtown I'll always stop by and ask whoever is working the door if Antonio is working, and if it's a yes I bring all my friends because I know we are going to get phenomenal service and amazing drinks! I'm at this point where I'll tell him my mood and BAM he surprises me with a drink recommendation that becomes my new favorite!

Where do I even begin.. Antonio's hospitality is unmatched. What a wonderful human being. I mean, period. This place is both sexy yet cozy and they truly make you feel right at home. 10 out of 5 stars. Will one million percent be returning. Ask for Antonio he is a star

Truly marvelous bar. Wonderfully creative, beautifully presented drinks. A delightful combination of innovative new cocktails and traditional tiki drinks. Appetizers are great, flavorful fried bar fare.Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I can't wait to go back!

Beautiful cozy historic spot! Awesome staff, terrific drinks. No food but well crafted cocktails. Will plan to return soon!
My brother, husband and I were wondering around downtown and found this amazing bar! The bartenders were so kind and hilarious, the general manager was the best! He walked us through a rum tasting and really introduced us to the world of rum. Full description of how each rum was distilled and what to expect. He super HILARIOUS too truly made the experience both funny and insight with learning about rum! 10/10 recommend to everyone and have a good laugh. The newer bartender was really sweet and made absolutely AMAZING drinks too!

Lemme tell you. This bar is an unassuming, but charming little venue smack in the middle of downtown. It’s a RUM BAR and that’s what it has, almost any rum you could ask in one place. Amazing drinks, a funny and sociable bartender and vibey 80s music makes this a hit. The drinks are strong and unique. This spot will get regular visits from me!

Tasty drinks, attentive bartenders and cool atmosphere!

I was visiting Houston for a friend's birthday and we were looking for a fun cocktail bar for our first stop of the evening. We found High & Dry on Yelp and it definitely checked all the boxes! This tiki speakeasy bar has it all -- great music, amazing bartenders, delicious drinks, and just overall great vibes. We weren't expecting to spend the entire night here, but we were just having too much fun. It never got too crowded (on a Saturday night) and the DJ was playing so many throwback hits. The most popular drink of the night was definitely the Ginger Flame -- probably because it also comes with a show as they actually light it on fire. It seemed like the sparks were flying down the bar every 5 minutes, haha. I also had a fabulous tequila mule and the bartender went out of his way to make my friend a spicy margarita. It looks like they also have a downstairs area that's open earlier in the day and serves food. I'd definitely check this spot out again if I ever find myself back in Houston!
