Fiora’s Bottle Shop

★★★★★ 4.8 (20)

"Cutest wine bar in the Montrose collective area! Perfect spot to catch with up with girls. They have a huge wine selection and a small food menu as well. Loved the atmosphere, especially with all the Christmas decorations up. Will definitely be coming back!"

The Solaro Winery

★★★★☆ 3.6 (14) • $$

"Very nice place and still not very well known, so it doesn't get too busy. The interior is nice, they have two separate seating areas inside, each with a bar. They also have a conference room, which I assume you could rent. They offer wine by the bottle or glass in addition to tastings (6 for $15). Overall, their prices are on par with upscale wine bars, but it a more relaxed atmosphere and without the crowd."

Stampede Houston

★★★★☆ 3.6 (76)

"I visited a friend in Humble TX for a couple days and he took me to the Stampede. It is like I walked into the cinematic version of every line dancing bar movie ever made. It was fantastic. Everyone was so cool and non judgmental. I am from NY and have never experienced such a positive vibe at a "nightclub". I have been to regular night clubs all over the US and this is hands down the best experience I had. Sure it was my first..but it is like they say you never forget your first."

Citizens Of Montrose

★★★★☆ 4 (183) • $$

"Loved Citizens of Montrose!My hubby and I enjoyed our brunch here. We got their Barbie Bowl, blueberry pancakes, and their salmon avocado toast. For drinks we got their turmeric latte and dragon fruit mimosa. Everything we ordered was very fresh-tasting and so colorful! Our faves were their pancakes and Barbie Bowl. The pancakes were the fluffiest ever and the Barbie Bowl was very refreshing and not overly sweet. Service was very attentive and friendly. The interior lets in a lot of natural lighting. There's a small shared parking lot to the side. Will definitely return to try their espresso martini happy hour!"

PostScript

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (66)

"Another "Insta-worthy" photo-op? Meh. I think they overdid the decor, especially on the outside. Makes me not want to take the restaurant that seriously. I understand the trend, especially with how well Little Hen does... but I left without craving to come back. Service is fine, food is fine, wine is fine... I hate to say it's just wasn't memorable. You know what I do remember? How empty it felt inside. We came as a large group of women for a "girls night out" and even though we did enjoy our dinner and the nice, large booth we sat in, I don't see myself coming back. Sorry not sorry."

Shady Acres Saloon

★★★★☆ 3.8 (38)

"Cool, little place with a cool vibe and nice bartender that doesn't keep you waiting. Inside is small, but there's plenty of room outside. They also have fires around for when it's cold outside. Maybe not the best place in the middle of summer, but when it's not blazing hot outside, it's a great place to go and have a few cold ones."

Elite Lounge

★★★★☆ 4 (4)

"Now called ELITE LOUNGE, but even when the establishment was called Nomi's it was the spot to be. The crowd is now a sexy adult age (30+) with a real chill atmosphere. Most people here just want a good drink and a good meal after work. There's usually a food truck or chef outside the bar cooking. There's a guy who sell cigars and other baked goods. This is a great place to stop and drink, maybe do a couple of line dances (decent size dance floor), and dinner! Follow them on Instagram. They Karoake Night, Taco Tuesdays, etc."

Grapevine On Main

★★★★★ 4.8 (21)

"Came here during a trip to Chappell Hill. We sat on the patio and opted for the fried chicken tenders, which was a huge portion (4) and super tasty. We then ordered the Italian sliders and a chicken salad sandwich, but it took over 30 min to arrive to the table. We were told that they had to make the chicken salad from scratch, but we had arrived very off peak around 3pm, so it was quite a long wait. Otherwise, the ambiance was quaint and charming, and the servers were nice."

The Coffee House At West End

★★★★☆ 4.1 (244) • $

"I came to work out of the Coffee House just to switch up my work setting. I got here at 10am on a Monday and there were a few parking spots available but they do have parking and a decent amount of it. The cafe is three floors, along with a rooftop so there's plenty of space for everyone. I primarily worked out of the 3rd floor but only stayed a few hours because it was FREEZING up there! I even asked if they could turn the air off or the heat up but neither of those things happened. I will say the first and second floor were not as cold. The staff were great and the butter croissant I had was delicious. My only suggestion would be to close down for a day or two and conduct a very deep cleaning of the cafe. It wasn't dirty in the least bit but just a bit dusty. A deep clean would certainly help."

Fadi's Mediterranean Banquet Hall

★★★★★ 4.6 (11)

"How can you not love this food! I just wish I am not offered so many choices in front of me. I love their Adana kabob, babaganoush, all the other spreads. I just wish I was not on my zero carb diet."

Improv - Houston

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (359) • $$

"I really liked this place! It's perfect for a date night. The comedians are all very experienced and have performed for channels such as BET and have been in movies with Kevin Hart! It's situated in a shopping plex with a host of other popular restaurants and even a cinema! We ordered chicken wings, salads, drinks and desserts. I enjoyed the food but the comedians were the icing on the cake! They touch of funny everyday instances and old funny stories they have experienced or gone through that are so funny and relatable. The venue was very clean, plenty of seating and spacing! You can purchase tickets online! The person I went with had us at the front which was actually the best view in my opinion! They have a full bar with the best drinks. Sit back, relax and enjoy the show!"

Upstairs Bar & Lounge

★★★★☆ 4.4 (192) • $$

"One of my favorite places to come for happy hour because at the time of this review, they offer it daily from 3-6 pm. The bartenders and staff are super friendly. I really enjoy ordering the spicy pineapple margarita. The rosé on the happy hour menu is pretty nice as well.The food is consistently delicious. I really like the green chile shrimp ceviche. The hummus is phenomenal and their pizzas are pretty great too."

West Alabama Ice House

★★★★☆ 4.2 (310) • $

"Solid place to have a beer or four. Relaxed crowd. Good service. Lots of TVs for game day."

Teague’s Bar-B-Que

★★★★☆ 4.2 (59)

"Really enjoy coming to this place. The food here is really tasty and fresh. Belinda is such a wonderful hostess and friendly person. I've had several items on the menu which all tastes good to me, but my go-to item is the pulled pork sandwich. Juicy and flavorful. Side items including beans, yams, and cobbler also tasty! Definitely will return. Parking lot is huge and shared with the shopping strip."

Fusion Eats Canteen & Cocktails

★★★★★ 4.9 (25)

"Finally! We have watched this space on Fairview transform from a house to restaurant over the span of a year. It was so exciting to see become a place become something we actually wanted to patronize. Their menu is so great and for everyone and their preferences. It took my husband and I a few minutes to decide what to order. So many different types of tacos, nachos, quesadillas, rice bowls, soups, and salads. They also a have bustling bar and two floors of seating with great views of downtown. We can't wait to return and try other items on the menu!"

BRIX Wine Cellars

★★★★☆ 4.2 (243) • $$

"A lovely venue! Quite impressed with everything --Came here for a private event on a recent afternoon. Beautiful set up, lots of room, plenty of tasty food and wine. Staff was excellent: kind, helpful, gracious and extremely accommodating. Park in the surrounding shops area and walk to the center of this section of Vintage Park, since the entrance is accessible from a large promenade. I saw that outdoor seating was available, too, which would be great on a warm, breezy day.I had never been here before and I wasn't really sure what to expect when I arrived. Pleasantly surprised by many things.If you're looking to host a small private event (or to stop in for an appetizer and a glass of wine), this establishment should definitely be on your radar."

MKT Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (664) • $$

"We were a big group who were headed to see Christmas lights around Downtown. Live music was playing during brunch. It's too loud and you can't have a conversation. I wish they had more items on the breakfast menu. I approached the grocery store side but they weren't serving breakfast any more in the cafeteria-type setting. So I opted for an egg white spinach fritatta in the Mkt Bar. It's a big serving and I don't like to waste. But I could only eat half. So I recommend diners share the fritatta. The waiter brought Tabasco and Cholula sauces. I added a bit of cholula to give it more flavor. The egg dish doesn't have much flavor. While the ambiance is lively, I wouldn't go back since I can't have a conversation due to the loud live music played during brunch."

Sonoma Wine & Cheese - Upper Kirby

★★★★☆ 4.1 (271) • $$

"I love this spot. They have the best wine flights. It's the perfect spot for having a drink with friends or for meeting a date. The staff is super friendly and give great wine recommendations. Hector is amazing ask for him. On Friday's they gave a $10 wine flight. Check them out!"

"Love the ambiance the food and the history. We love the chicken fried steak and schnitzel and catfish!!"

Avant Garden BAR

★★★★☆ 4.2 (261) • $

"My friend and I were wondering the good through a few different places and ended up here. We stayed in the garden bar, though they do have an indoors as well, so my review is strictly for the outdoors area. I let the bartender take the wheel on my drinks. This is one of those times where being indecisive wasn't a bad thing, you just told him what you wanted and he would make something you would like. Excellent service!On this particular evening there was live music, so as we were sitting a group started up and more people started coming into the patio. It never got crowded, and it was a very chill crowd. The music was good, the drinks were good, and the place had a really nice vibe. Will definitely come back."

Walden Yacht Club

★★★★☆ 3.9 (78)

"Loved the Sunday brunch. Such a great view, food, and service. We will definitely be back."

Fifty Fifty Acorn Golf & Icehouse

★★★★★ 4.6 (63) • $

"Think of the movie Tin Cup and you begin to get the feeling of visiting here except you probably won't see Kevin, Renee or Cheech but the facilities are nicer than theirs. Located less than 5 minutes from Hwy. 290 and not far out of The Loop this driving range offers all of the required amenities. Room for about 70 golfers at a time to practice their wood and iron shots from real grass that is lit after dark, a putting green, a chipping green with sand trap, golf lessons available, reasonable prices, good background music playing, a covered deck to relax on, cold drinks available from their icehouse with food trucks on the weekends, a kids playground area and a doggie park. Yeah, it's nothing fancy but it serves the purpose and that is to have an enjoyable time working on your game."

Puttshack - Houston

★★★★☆ 3.7 (184) • $$

"Much better experience this time. We went wielding a birthday free game as well as a free text game. Jean took care of us as soon as we walked in. Personable and funny, he was the perfect welcoming!Would also like to note that it was the first time the manager was out and speaking to customers. He was also great!"

Crazy Frogs Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 (25) • $$

"After or charity bowling tournament down the street, some friends recommended we come here for burgers and a drink. They serve up a solid bacon cheeseburger with average tots that are a bit too crispy, but for less than $10 pretty good deal. This place is that dark quiet neighborhood bar what are you just imagine regulars coming after work. The servers are friendly, and accommodating to requests. I forgot that there still places where you can smoke in a bar, and this is one of those places. If you're looking for a decent burger and good drink prices, check this place out."

Tempe Creek Vineyard & Farms

★★★★☆ 4 (4)

"This is the most relaxing place. The wines are distinctly different and delicious. The atmosphere is totally Zen."

The Boldthouse

★★★★☆ 4 (96) • $$

"We come here often and really enjoy the progress they've made! The trivia night is a blast! The decor is beautiful and romantic! The service is always super friendly and inviting! Highly recommend checking them out if you haven't already!"

Highline Park

★★★★☆ 3.7 (69) • $$

"Solid food and great for big parties or patio season! I honestly wish there were more places like this at MKT - it's a perfect place to chill, eat, and drink especially when the weather is nice out.There are servers but you can also scan the QR code at your table to get your order started. We recently tried the chilaquiles and Highline burger (beyond meat) - both were very good and would get again. We will be back for more!"

The Owl Bar

★★★★★ 4.5 (18)

"We were really surprised how much we liked this comfy but unassuming bar near Rice University on a recent late-night visit. We decided on the The Owl sort of by deduction, given that not much else in the area was open late on a weeknight. Expected a crowded, annoying college bar, we were pleased to find ice cold and refreshing white wine on tap for a great price and plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. The Owl is a nice option for laid-back drinks and conversation any time."

The Raven Tower

★★★★☆ 3.6 (89)

"I finally visited Raven Tower before the Young the Giant concert at WOMH yesterday. My friends suggested getting there early and eating dinner there at the food truck La Macro. I'm glad we did because the show was sold out and there were so many people in line two hours or so before the show started. I thought Raven would be crowded but it actually wasn't. They have a great craft beer selection as well as a cocktail menu. I was hoping to try one of the cucumber cocktails but it looks like they just changed their cocktail menu for the fall season. I opted for beer and had the 8th Wonder Intelluctuale (one of my faves). The patio is dog friendly. They have games and lots of picnic tables for plenty of seating. This is a great place to people watch. I had pork tacos from La Macro and they were really good. They have other menu items besides Tex-Mex. The menu is on the Raven Tower website. For a food truck, the prices are actually reasonable. They charge $2 for tacos. You could hear the opening band (Joywave). I didn't think we would be able to hear much because Raven sits behind the stage, but you could. They also had the music turned down so I think that helped. The tower is still being renovated, but it's apparently supposed to reopen this fall. I definitely want to check it out once it does open back up. Because of the concert, we weren't able to park in lot A between Raven and White Oak. Prices for lots were $15-25 which is pretty steep. Get there early for street parking on nights when there is a show out on the lawn."

Elm & Magnolia

★★★★★ 4.6 (107) • $$

"My friend and I came for brunch on Saturday. We had such a pleasant experience. The weather was a perfect spring day with a really nice fresh breeze! We ordered the island juice mimosas- suggested by Sabrina who we absolutely loved! For the food we ordered the Duck plate, Chicken & waffles, and a salad. Both were tasty!! We moved to a rosé which Sabrina ended bagging for us to take home. We also had a nice conversation with Zay. The entire staff here is awesome! I would recommend this place. Beautiful outdoor setting. It will be nice to catch the live music sometime!"

Sonoma Wine Bar - Katy

★★★★★ 4.9 (11) • $$

"They have plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. The back patio is on the green so can kinda get loud if kids are out there playing. We started outside then came in when kids were getting rowdy. We tried the flights and really enjoyed the malbecs they had. My friends and I shared a board and everything was delicious. It's a cute place on the inside, very quiet and quaint. Definitely will be back and they give great recommendations!"

Park Place at The Boardwalk

★★★★☆ 3.9 (39)

"Shay was an amazing and attentive waitress. Ace says hi and thank you for my fruit and eggs! The catfish and grits were exceptional. Portion sizes were big. My husband got the shrimp and grits. The shrimp were big and juicy, just how we like them. We didn't get any pictures because we were too busy enjoying our food and drinks. The Bloody Mary was great as well as our mimosa and "dad"mosa for my husband. Restrooms were baby friendly with a beautiful changing table. #MomWin Restrooms were very clean also which is very important to us especially with an infant. For brunch, they have any dish comes with a mimosa, so that's pretty cool. We loves the cool lighting and space, music, and vibes. We will definitely come back."

The Decoy

★★★★☆ 4.2 (24)

"I visited The Decoy for a work event where we rented out a sand volleyball court Friday afternoon and hung out under the covered patio in between games. This is a day drinking review, since someone told me it gets a little clubby at night. (Definitely not the vibe for our visit) The bar interior has a few high tables, a few large booths, and then the bar top, as far as seating options are concerned. There are TV's hanging on the wall in every direction, so you won't miss the game. It's not terribly large inside, but there's also plenty of outdoor seating options in the front and back areas. Front outdoor area has hanging chairs and picnic tables, and the back outdoor area is similar to Kirby Icehouse where they turfed out a space and covered it with a large metal patio and have couches, picnic tables, and high tables you can snag to watch the TV's or the sand volleyball courts. Speaking of, there's I think 3, maybe 4, sand volleyball courts available to rent by the hour. They charged us $10/hr for the court, and $15/hr for the volleyball. FYI Someone mentioned that they have league play on certain nights for the serious Volleyball players out there. They do not serve food at all, but was told they're fine with you bringing in outside food. There's an Underbelly Burger restaurant next door, so you're covered if you absolutely need to eat. I drank beer so don't have much to add about the quality of mixed drinks and cocktails, but it's a sportsbar... Bring that level of expectation and you'll be fine."

Bowlero Houston

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (480)

"First time visiting here. We had a nice time celebrating my friend's BD!! We did only one play but they charged us $16.65 per person. Felt a bit expensive... somehow the bowling stage is extremely slippery so make sure be aware of it I got slipped a good couple times there was a bar inside so you can order some foods if you'd like. Overall, it's a nice place to have a fun time. Oh, they have arcades as well so if you wanna have some games you can do them as well.Come if you'd like!Cheers"
