Vida Garden Htx

This bar and its concept is stick in the late 2000s. They play loud Tejano music with the bass really high and laser lights and some guy screaming. The bar also is usually not very full but they play music so loud that others that live close by cannot sleep at night. They have been asked to turn it down and have had the police called and cited. Part of it is the city of Houston not having zoning (also ridiculous) but this an extreme public nuisance, but more than that, a very bad business move to not recognize that you have neighbors and if you can at least respect that and work with them then you may even generate business. Most of the people that live in the area want to have a good time but are professionals. We have jobs and need to have rest and sleep. Local businesses thrive when they live in harmony with the community. Vida Garden doesn't respect their neighbors, and will never get a penny out of me. They are alienating themselves from getting good business by being a menace. Great business model.

My co-workers and I came here this Friday, slightly before 5pm. Trying to find parking was a nightmare, but such is Midtown. My friend saw this bar on IG and was really excited to give it a go. There were NO other patrons in sight and we weren't sure if the bar was actually open. I asked the bartender if they were in fact open and she gave a less than enthused, slightly annoyed "yes". We sat outside on the spacious patio, which is really pretty. After sitting for quite some time, we were not greeted by a waitress. There were at least two male workers in and out of the bartender's area and the patio. I asked one of them when we would be served and he went inside to speak with the bartender. After still being ignored, I went inside and spoke with the bartender, who informed me that she is also the manager (a woman with a long blonde weave and injections). She said that they were short staffed and that we were to come to the bar to order. I ordered an overpriced Ciroc neat ($14). Now, good customer service would have been to initially greet our party of four with some level of enthusiasm. Next, it would have been nice if she had made an effort to come outside to inform us that they were short staffed instead of standing behind the bar the entire time. After such poor service and the insanely loud music (we could barely carry on a conversation) we took our business to Little Woodrow's. This is a brand new bar. You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

The place is a huge, I didn't like it because when we went there, it was cold and loud and it wasn't my vibe as well. It was empty but overall the service was okay I think it would be more fun, maybe in the summer

Great music, great vive. Will definitely come back. The service was incredible, brought everything quickly and was amazing.

Pick Your Poison front door female manager scammed our group requiring entry when there is free entry in Vida Garden and Pick your Poison. Inside the workers are nice and give great service, but was sleezy for the front worker scamming our group. Mentioned the charge to get in to the workers inside and they confirmed.

If you want your stuff stolen then come here. We reserved a table with bottle that they switched us from and my $400 glasses disappeared. Of course they go "and ask staff" but nobody knows. So come here to get robbed. Management doesn't care and will kick you out.........

Place was lit when i went and the bartenders were super nice. Def gonna go back go in Saturdays

First time going. We asked where we could sit and they said anywhere. We sat and consumed all night around 1 am some guy with beard/ cap and another girl of the hostess said we had to get up and leave. The table was reserved and we had to get up. We got up and we asked why wasn't there a sign or at least to tell us ahead of time. Guy got upset and called security to kick us out. I felt they could of handled it in a more professional way. Never going back.
