Little Dipper Lounge

Little Dipper is just the perfect spot for a martini in downtown Houston. One of the more mature and relaxed spots on Main Street, this dark lounge reads a bit retro in its decor, with its spacious booths, neon signage, and vintage books lining the wall. The martinis were delicious and the service was kind and thoughtful. This spot is definietly one of my go-to's in the area.

Drinks suck, and so does the service. The bartender (if you can call her that) was on her phone the entire time and stared off into space instead of asking us if we needed anything. Absolutely ridiculous. Don't waste your time coming here.

Just like what everybody's been saying: Poison Girl vibe but not Poison Girl - pretty much just a very casual, divey, hipster, laid-back, everybody's welcome kind of bar. They have pop up cocktail hours with the ratchet twins when they'll offer some funky cocktail drinks like nothing you ever had before. A cool place to stop by and get a drink or two when you're bar-hopping along Main St. However, I can't really see myself just hanging out at the bar for a long time though.

Little Dipper is a chill, cute little bar and the perfect spot to start a night of downtown bar-hopping. The cocktail prices are a couple bucks cheaper than some of the other adjacent bars so it's a good place to get a few drinks in before getting more selective. It's not quite a classy lounge but I would hardly call it a dive; the decor swings faux old England sitting-room with lots of gold picture frames on the walls. If you could imagine dropping by for a visit at your well-to-do single Aunt's house and partaking in her liquor cabinet, this might just be the place.As another review noted, they do not have any draft beers; you can get cans or bottles of local beer. The only reason I docked off a star.

Can you spot the Little Dipper in the sky? If you can't, at least you can visit Little Dipper Lounge for a drink. Located on Main Street, the hopping part, your best bet is street parking since this is downtown we're talking about. The bar is bordered by Honeymoon Cafe. Like a lot of bars in the area, it's not huge but there is a bar with some seating as you walk in, some table seating, and some couches in the back. They don't have waiters, at least on a Sunday evening when I visited, so put in your order at the bar. They have a list of eight or so craft cocktails. I tried their version of the Moscow Mule. They also have some pinball machines in the back where you can pay for play. Chill bar to start out your night.

Casual,kicked back,retro three words sum up the place. Group of about 15 came and the drinks were made decent and very quickly. The staff was really on top of their game.of course the group had to pose by the moon to make it memorable. Lots of old fashion mirror on the walls, and lots of comfortable couch to sit and hang out with your friends. It's great location for bar hopping or hang out before the Astro game. I hear they have great happy hour drinks. The location is locate within walking distance of minute maid park. I liked the place because it is so kick back. Almost want to take a nap there..... The place is friendly definitely a cool place to hang out .

First bar we went to in Houston after our arrival for the Championship game! Great ambiance and fantastic bartender! The signature drinks were delicious! Incredibly friendly and welcoming, even gave us some swag from the bar, stickers, pencils etc, so sweet! Never got a chance to go back but will definitely visit again when we are back in Houston! Definitely give this place a try when you are on Main Street!

I go to this joint from time to time since it opened and I've always enjoyed it's unique ambiance. In fact I was at this place when Astros won their first World Series in 2017 and the owners scheduled only one bartender (Billy) and one barback (Jesus) for the WS final game. Astros won and the crowds from Minute Maid that night all came to Main St. To celebrate and Billy and Jesus was slammed from the surge... good times. So today I got here earlier than usual long before the closing shift crew. I had my tab opened long before the 2nd shift clocked in. I was minding my own business, not bothering anyone whilst this barback, Jackie was her name... eye balling me like I have no business being there even though I've my tab still open. At some point I went to the restroom and tucked my beer in my back pocket (I don't leave my drinks at a table unattended). Afterwards she grilled me and asked me if the drink I had was from the bar (like I smuggled it in) eventhough she saw me earlier ordering drinks from Billy and Brooke. I have to tell her and prove to her I've a tab.I could only surmise Jackie, the barback was being a judgemental slag thinking I was a transient that doesn't belong to the establishment. I've never been offended so much in my life, ever. F*ckin' 'ell, you can't just have fun these days, minding your own business without some overzealous racist barback Karen judging you.

Nice little spot. Fun assortment of books. Was a nice spot to have a drink in a quiet spot and people watch.

So it is my birthday weekend and we are dancing to the music on the way to the bar and this girl said we are too intoxicated to come in!
