Love the decor of this establishment. Bartender was easy going and atmosphere was relaxing. Took our drinks to the balcony and enjoyed watching the sun begin to set.

We had our wedding here in February of 2024. The space is so incredibly beautiful. It would have been worth it for the view and the vibe alone.To our enormous delight, the staff is also unbelievably friendly and helpful, and the cocktails are to die for.Lawless did not charge an event fee, only the food and beverage minimum, a small fee to do the ceremony on site (ours was $500) and a fee for a day of coordinator (so worth it!).This is a game changer for a wedding budget.We selected the plated dinner, and they were flexible with us on plating when we asked for small adjustments.Every time we had a question, they were extremely responsive. We had concerns about accessibility for our guests with wheelchairs, but the team at Lawless provided detailed instructions on how to access from The Rice elevators.We cannot thank Mel, Emily, Courtney, Morgan, and Caleb enough for making our special day run smoothly and look perfect.

Ya’ll are awesome Liam and Danny are amazing bartenders the drinks are top notch. I would rather come upstairs to Lawless for drinks then go downstairs to Sambuca which has piss poor service as I couldn’t even get anyone to come to my table for drinks let alone take our order for Food. Liam and Danny have made the best drinks and the conversation was amazing Thank you Lawless for being awesome we appreciate you so much!!

I had an incredible experience at this upscale bar! The ambience was lovely, and the staff went above and beyond, answering all my questions. The vibe was fantastic, and the drinks were absolutely amazing. I'll definitely return for more. The Filetto Di Pomodoro was exceptional, and the Fried Short Rib Ravioli and Wood-Fried Meatballs were so delicious that I forgot to take a picture. Can't wait to visit again!

We hosted our son's rehearsal dinner at The Lawless recently, and everything from the planning to the night of the event ran smoothly! Emily is a joy to work with, as all the staff are! Alexis & Caleb kept the food & drinks flowing! The dual entree dinner was excellent! And, the ambiance, rehearsal video, lovely fruit, cheese & crackers appetizer all added to a perfect evening! We seated 60, but it will hold 80. If you are looking for a memorable event, book The Lawless!?
I wanted to take the time to thank Emily, Alexis, Hector, and Emmett for the great work you guys did to make my engagement proposal celebration a reality. All the guests and I were very pleased with the service, ambience, and the food taste and quality. My proposal came out perfectly and I’m very happy and satisfied with having chosen you guys to host this special event. Thank you so much for being flexible and accommodating all my requests until the very end. Can’t wait to be back and I totally recommend this place!

You must try the lavender martini. It was delicious. In fact, everything I tried was delicious, especially the crab dip. It was my favorite.

I had a really great time hanging out here. The bartender took extra care to recommend drinks both on and off the menu. The pink drink is a BBL. Highly recommend getting one. The colorful drink is the Starry Night. Both were fantastic.

Good bar, great atmosphere but does occasionally break my heart by being closed when I try to go in after work in spite of the posted hours. On these inexplicable instances, I'm forced to go patronize Sambuca and let's say, diplomatically, that it is an inferior experience.

This place was fantastic. The service was a 10/10 (Sara and Denny were very attentive, responsive, and personable - they even remembered our names when we went back). The atmosphere was also a 10/10 (we were looking for a low-key rooftop bar where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of Houston in the open air without club-like music preventing you from holding a conversation). Lastly, the drinks were phenomenal as well. My personal favorite was a green tea cocktail w/Jameson that Denny recommended.
