Went in on a Saturday night and surprisingly it wasn’t busy. Vibes are nice and chill, perfect for a relaxing date night. Their cocktails and selection are amazing as well 👌

I cannot recommend Reserve 101 enough! From the moment you walk through the door, you are hit with the most entrancing, intoxicating aroma—it’s that perfect mix of rich oak, caramelized sugar, and a hint of vanilla that immediately tells you you’re in for a high-end experience. It is simply divine.
If you are looking for a cozy, upscale, and trendy atmosphere to enjoy a sophisticated drink in downtown Houston, this is the spot.

I’ll be dreaming about that smell until my next visit!

Speaking of drinks, they have over 1,000 different whiskies from 16 countries. The bartenders are true masters of their craft—incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and happy to help you find the perfect pour, whether it's one of their expertly crafted cocktails. The renovated, cozy, and dimly lit space is perfect for a date night or a deep dive into the world of whiskey.

Do yourself a favor and stop by this downtown Houston gem. A must-visit!

Really great bar. Went in on a Sunday night, not crowded, group of 4, sat at the bar. Took THIRTY MINUTES to get our drinks after we ordered them. Nothing special was ordered. We were served water three times before we finally got drinks. One guy was mixing drinks AND doing other stuff while another guy was taking orders. Not horrible customer service, but not good either. Drinks were great. Very nice bar. Need to work on customer service.

Reserve 101 is 5-Star! While there is no food (hence the food 4-star rating), they have a NICE dish of lemon-zested olives & feta that did not interfere with the whiskey tastings. We ordered 2 of them.

Our whiskey steward was Marc. We found him to be very nice and knowledgeable. For my husband's birthday, he customized a flight that he thoroughly enjoyed!

I had the clarified sour that was topped with a Malbec. It was so smooth and yummy.

Great place with a lot of potential but for me customer service is number one. I do not care to pay any price for a drink but customer service is priceless. It seems the bar tenders are overworked and that is why we got the bad luck to be treated poorly but that is not an excuse. My wife and I were random people walking in and we felt like the bartender’s stress was dumped on us for no reason. I understand his frustration but nonetheless we did not deserve his poor treatment.

Come prepared with all the vast knowledge of whiskey and what they carry or the staff will treat you like you’re a child. The only stars here go to the really cool looking bar and atmosphere but the girls behind the need work.

We ordered old fashions an asked the bar tender for a whiskey recommendation. He ended up making doubles without asking us and used the top shelf whiskey which costed $60 per drink. After 4 old fashions and waiting 30 mins for a bar tender to come back to us, we got a surprise bill for $240 for 4 drinks.
