Meo Bar

Wow! My friends and I checked this place out last night after being told about it by some neighbors. I had no idea this cute Speakeasy was right down the street. The ambiance was great, they had a DJ Playing and the music was fun. The service was amazing, fast, friendly and efficient. The flavors from every dish were so good and different. So good, that I didn't want to add any hot sauce or chili oil and I add it everything usually. The Brussel Sprouts had these yellow dried berries that were so delicious and really completes the dish. Brisket eggrolls, were so soo good! The Pad Thai had a really nice kick to it and to be honest was one of the best pad Thais I've ever had We will definitely be back

I love places that have an air of mystique so I've made it my business to experience every hidden or secret speakeasy Houston has to offer. This one is inside of the Wokker on Airline Dr. I loved it!I didn't try the food but I plan to the next time. The kitchen was already closed when I arrived. The service was great and the drinks go down really smooth. First time I ever had a cognac with no bite.The ambiance is cozy, trendy, casual, laid back, and a real vibe and has cute Asian aesthetics, with a splash of hippy, trippy, neon lights.

Mèo Bar, which stands for cat bar, is a speakeasy located in an unassuming Chinese restaurant named the Wokker. Once inside, you lift the cat portrait and ring the bell, and a bartender will open the door for you. The inside is a bit small but has many seats and a dj, as well. Their menu had a lot of Asian-inspired drinks. As a Viet person and pandan enthusiast, I had to get the Pandamonium, which consisted of rum, pandan, vanilla, and banana caramel syrup-clarified milk punch. I also got the Salty Kitty , which contained salted plum-Infused vodka, orange bourbon tincture, turbinado, lemon, and egg white, and a lychee cocktail. The Panamonium was my favorite. It was smooth and not too strong and tasted like a cucumber drink with a slight pandan smell and after taste. The Salty Kitty had foam on top made from the egg whites, and it was strong with a salty and sour taste. The lychee cocktail was so cute and came with a piece of lychee candy. However, I do wish that they put actual piece of lychee, too. I went on a Thursday, and it was pretty busy but not too crowded, and I think it's a great place to bring a group of friends. They also have a few mocktails and food, too! Overall, I really enjoyed their unique drink flavors and the experience.

Meo Bar is an intriguing speakeasy hidden within Wokker, and the concept behind it is undeniably cool. Upon entering, you'll find that the bar is cozy, intimate, and maybe even a little romantic.I have to be honest about my experience with the drinks - none of them really hit the mark for me. The cocktails or beverages I tried left me wanting something more in terms of taste. Perhaps it was just a personal preference, but I was left a bit disappointed in this regard.On the bright side, the dumplings were a delightful surprise. The dumplings were a true highlight of the visit, offering a burst of flavor and a satisfying dining experience. Out of the Roasted Corn Wontons, Kimchi Butter Dumplings, Brisket Wasabi, the Kimchi Butter dumplings had to be my favorite. They're packing so much flavor!Although the drinks were not my favorite, the appeal of Meo Bar lies in its unique setting and the potential for a great night out. If you're looking for an intimate atmosphere and to enjoy dumplings, it's worth a visit.

The food is great (served from Wokker next door) however the drinks were surprisingly disappointing given the speakeasy vibe and existing reviews. My cocktail was not strained and was gritty to drink. The pandamonium was good but watery. The salty kitty wasn't bad however it was served with a bunch of the drink spilled down the side. We came at 5pm on a Saturday and were the only guests there for the hour we stayed. If you want to try it out now is your chance!

This is an absolutely spectacular little bar tucked away inside Wokker, a Latin-Asian fusion restaurant off Airline. It's a bit of an inconvenient location for us, but central enough that the majority of Houston won't have a problem with getting to it.I was pleasantly surprised to see ample parking, as Wokker is located at the end of a strip center. We managed to park right out front and walk right in.I hadn't told my wife why we were coming here, so she saw the cat murals and assumed that was the appeal-- of course, until I lifted the little framed cat and rang the bell. She was expecting music to play, not the door to open to a speakeasy style bar.Meo and Wokker are night and day. Wokker is bright and casual. Meo is much darker and upscale. There was a single bartender working the entire place, but sharing a kitchen with the public storefront meant there was ample service.We ordered the truffle soy dumplings, spicy rice rolls, and garlic sesame chicken bites off the Happy Hour menu. They were all dim sum style plates, but tasted spectacular.My wife opted for the tamarind margarita while I went with the whiskey highball. Neither was particularly impressive, but they rounded out our little trip nicely.We were among the first to arrive and the place never did get full while we were there, but the entire room seemed to hold maybe 40-50 people total. We'll definitely be back.

This place is the cutest, most unique bar I've been to in a while. So, I didn't know that this secret bar existed and it was where we were going.My husband was adamant that I'd love it. I walk inside. See the nice cat mural and think...okay he thinks I'm a crazy cat lady.Then the secret is shown to me and I'm inside a hidden bar!When the door popped open I almost yelped. It caught me off guard that much.The service inside was excellent. The bar itself was dimmed perfectly to create a cozy atmosphere. Our bartender was really nice and did a great job. She was super professional and patient with some entitled rich customers, so that spoke volumes for her and the establishment. The drinks and food were unique and fresh. The food had a Latin Asian infused menu and the drinks reflected that as well. We ordered a little bit of everything and were blown away.If you follow me, y'all know I love Maple Leaf, but man this place won me over. Definitely go there and try it out.

You walk into Wokker, go slightly to the right and see a mural of waving cats. Lift up the kitty frame, press the button, a bartender will open the door for you. It's dimly lit inside but the aesthetic is great. Since it was Father's Day, it was pretty slow. But we had great drinks and good conversation. I observed the bartender organizing their in-house infused liquors for their drinks. They sous-vide the alcohol with various fruit or flavors to make their cocktails extra special. I got a tamarind margarita, it was strong, slightly spicy and tangy. I also tried the lychee martini, this was slightly sweet, subtle and easy to drink. We ordered garlic chicken bites and truffle soy dumplings from the HH menu and an order bourbon soy dumplings. They were very delicious. Seasoned well, served hot and I enjoyed them. I also had a Pandamonium. It had nice notes of vanilla and it was kinda floral. We also got more dumplings and drinks, kim chi butter dumplings and squid ink siu mai. These were just alright. The flavors weren't what I would prefer but it was ok. The bartender was great, she was attentive and friendly.

A squad of us journeyed here after the whiskey event in spring. We arrived in the restaurant, and walked up to the car on the wall. We clicked the button, but it didn't appear to do anything, so we clicked it again. Out came a gal who said we only needed to click once. Our bad! It might be good to have a something to let us know the bar signal was activated. Maybe the cats eyes glow red? That would be sweet. Walking in, the lighting is low. Great for mood setting, but it was a lovely crowd, so definitely not a romantic vibe on this particular night. The bar was jumping, the gals were doing work! Throughout the night, we ordered almost everything on the menu, and even got a free drink that was delivered that we hadn't ordered. We appreciated the good fortune. We ended up closing out the place. The drinks were all really good. So good that one of us even ordered a non-alcoholic drink by mistake, and it was still great. We didn't order food this time, but it looked good. The staff was very fast, and very nice to chat with. We had a great time and look forward to going back.

My friends and I were looking for a place to grab a drink after dinner. Since we weren't as familiar with the area, we browsed Yelp and decided to give Meo Bar a try. I didn't realize it was a speakeasy until I pulled into the parking lot. Parking was plentiful which is always a plus. We browsed some reviews to figure out where to go. Once inside the restaurant (Wokker HTX), we were still confused as there weren't any employees at the counter. A couple who was inside eating helped us out and eventually we made our way inside. The set up is essentially counter service. Order at the bar and they'll bring your drink to you. They do offer light bites, but we didn't order any food.The cocktails are very pretty and very good! I had the Meo G&T and Brenda's Violet Hour. I enjoyed both drinks. My friends had the Honey Bear and the Mui. My friend wanted to order one of the mocktails, but they ran out of ingredients for the drink, so they ended up comping one of her drinks. They have a good amount of tables and booths that can accommodate small and larger groups. The decor was cool and it was such a chill vibe.
