MKT Bar

Food wasn't anything special and a very dry burger. Super hot wings with just to much sauce and Overwhelming the dip. Chicken sandwich was not good at all, chicken was hard and lightly fried. Service was great. Gal who helped me was super nice We are not locals and was very displeased with this spot. I can say there is a grocery store which is cool. Other than that, I wouldn't go here

Their Thursday Steak Night is such a good deal! Steak, chimichurri, twiced baked potato, fried onions and salad - all for $17 in 2024. The steak was great, and big enough you might be able to take some leftovers home. The potato is heavenly smooth and fluffy. The fried onions were a little wimpy/cold when they got to their table but we still ate them. The salad was a nice bonus to have as a starter. The service was very friendly and helpful

MKT Bar is never the first place that pops into my mind when I'm looking for breakfast/brunch, but honestly it should - it boasts a vast menu, opens earlier than other morning eateries in Downtown, offers free garage parking, and is conveniently attached to Phoenicia, the Mediterranean/international supermarket at which I aspire to do all my grocery shopping. I recently went back to MKT last weekend for brunch prior to a matinée at the Downtown AMC - here are my thoughts on what we tried:Hill-Country Chicken & Waffle - It's your standard chicken and waffle, played straight. The waffle is crisp and tasty, though I felt the chicken was a bit dry/boring. Next time I'd probably choose one of the other more exciting menu options.Baklava Pancakes - I am definitely not a pancake person, yet I really loved these! They remind me of the thin German pancakes that I used to get at IHOP: thicker and bouncier than a crêpe, but much slimmer than a traditional buttermilk. They're layered with crushed pistachios, freshly sliced figs, and a floral orange blossom honey...so good!Choco-Halva Latte - This espresso drink caught my eye when I was looking for a fun caffeinated pick-me-up. The waiter assured me it wouldn't be too sweet and he was thankfully correct - think of a rich, dark mocha with nutty, toasted undertones. This was great paired with the sweet pancakes!Service was speedy and very cordial - we were in-and-out in 45 minutes and had some spare time to peruse the supermarket prior to our showtime. I'll be back soon to eat my way through the rest of the menu!

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.

MKT Bar is the perfect stop after a visit to Discovery Green! The menu has so many items to choose from, that you can't possibly ask for more. There are meals for all food preferences available diets. At 6 pm, the bar had plenty of open seating, but I'm sure Wednesday night steaks or a live band bring in a crowd. I highly recommend this bar for a quick bite or an evening laugh with friends. In my case, I brought my daughters in for dinner after our 2-mile walk! What a treat!Don't forget to try the gelato!

Last minute find while visiting my family. Did not disappoint even though we were hoping for more alcohol choices other than beer and wine. But even with just those options we were pleased. The wine options are extensive so many to choose from. They had a beer flight which was great for my Uncle and Cousin. Great option for mocktails too for my mother-to-be cousin who wanted to feel fancy with us all. The food was surprisingly delicious! I ordered the quinoa and salmon. I was shocked at how much I loved the quinoa. They have different themes and deals every day. I look forward to coming back. Oh and the DJ was giving old school 90s vibes and we couldn't stop dancing! The server Jordan was so kind to us and didn't hassle us for staying a little later while we said our goodbyes. She was really kind and took the time to explain different things.

The egg scramble with keilbasa was a delicious surprise. Definitely going back the next time I'm in Houston. Service was good but it felt awkward. Kitchen staff were quick and on point.

First discovered this place as I walked around the neighborhood. Attached to Phonecia Market Downtown, I love the quaint vibe of this bar. We always get the mimosa flight, steak & eggs or chicken and waffles. Service is always on point and if there are any issues with food the bar handles it right away! Great for a chill brunch date & a mixed crowd.

Great every time we go and everything we get is awesome. Five stars for George as well. No one makes you feel more at home and glad to see you come in than him.Brunch, steak night, happy hour, they do it all. Live music at brunch to boot.All this and attached to a world class market! This is a must do!
