This place is a hidden GEM! Literally everything in this bar is on point! The amazing staff! The hand crafted cocktails! The deco! And even the music! If your looking for good old fashion or a shot of absinthe they have EVERYTHInG! Make sure you check out the womens restroom if there no one in there of course! Lol they still have the main safe from back in the day when this bar was actually a watch company! So much houston history in this building! If your visiting or a local. It's for sure a must! They also have Happy hour!!!

This bar has that speakeasy and vintage vibe to it. Amazing cocktails.Bartenders can work their magic to create a cocktail that you will like and adjust anything as needed. They are quite knowledgeable in craft cocktails. You can have a great conversation with them or even others at the bar as well. This place is perfect for an intimate date or a drink alone at the bar during slower hours. There is an upstairs area with plenty of seating for bigger parties. The place can get quite busy and it does get loud if it's packed. There is a cool vintage safe in the woman's bathroom. It's very interesting and everyone should check it out (men are allowed to go in to look at it).

An adorable little bar in Downtown. 2 stories and pleasantly well lit so that you can enjoy your company and the surroundings. I think this actually used to be a watch shop and they kept a lot of the original layout as well as the name (obviously). This is downtown so parking is street parking - free after 6 on weekdays and all day on weekends. The real jewel is the menu. A lovely selection of whiskeys that are incredibly reasonably priced - I'm talking starting at $4 a glass. The only issue is the menu seems to be somewhat outdated, so don't get your hopes up if you find the perfect dram until it's sitting in a glass in front of you. Bramble - gin and sugar all mixed up nice. The perfect 'girly' drink. Excuse my chauvinism. Sazerac - Sweet. Too sweet.

Perfect atmosphere with a great owner. He said he owned the bar about 9 years! This used to be an actual watch company in I believe he said the early 1900's. There are old pictures on display and even original safes. The upstairs is so cozy and it was the perfect place for us girls to catch up. The drinks were absolutely fabulous. We had a few rounds and snuck tastes from each other. Great place with awesome history.

Really enjoyed our pre-dinner drinks at Houston Watch Company on Franklin Street. At 4:30 in the afternoon it was only the bartender Josh, my wife and I and one other patron, so we had the place to ourselves. We had three cocktails and a pour of Little Book Chapter 3. The cocktails were the barrel aged Vieux Carre and the barrel aged Manhattan, along with the Industry Sour which was recommended by Josh. All very well made, boozy and balanced. The bar was comfortable, and Josh was an excellent host. We discussed various topics from what makes a good Tiki cocktail to the Chronicles new top 100 restaurant list. His favorite was Tatemo!! Good times!!

A very intimate vibe! A smaller cocktail bar, but don't let that fool you. The drinks and staff are still top notch.
