Rabbit's Got the Gun

My friends and I were looking to try out a new bar in the downtown area, and we stumbled across this little hidden gem. It really was a little hidden as we drove by a few times just to make sure we were at the right place. There's a unpaved parking lot across the street or you can street park. I'm gonna be honest and say the surrounding area is a little sketch. Walking up, we didn't even know which was to enter, but the taco vendor outside told us where the door is. Walking in, our apprehensions quickly went away! The place was nice and clean, and neatly decorated. The music was on point and the overall vibes were great. The two gentlemen behind the bar were effortlessly handling the constant drink orders and doing it with a smile. From the outside, you would never think that this place serves expertly crafted cocktails. I started off with an espresso martini and it was very good. Not too sweet with coffee being the star of the drink. We watched as they brewed the espresso and made the drink. It was even nicely presented. Between my friends and I, we basically hit all the cocktails listed and every single one was great. We also had food from the guy outside which was also delicious. This was a very fun bar that I would not hesitate to come back to!

My girlfriend and I came for our friend Latenite's DJ set here on a Friday night! We didn't know what to expect given it was our first time coming out here, But I am so happy we came with some room in our stomachs. The restaurant/bar is 21+ but had no cover. As soon as we walked in there were 2 bbq style vendors serving up tasty bites so we knew our tummies would be taken care of.We ordered a loaded brisket waffle plate prepared with nacho style toppings and condiments. It was super heavy, savory, and delicious. The cook told us their large ($22) was enough for 2, but bro, it fed me, my girlfriend, and even a few of our other friends had some bites! Great value.When our friend's DJ set started we went inside to support, drink and dance. For being such a small bar I was not expecting the cocktails to be so damn good. I ordered the purply Taro cocktail (La Sancha $13) and my girlfriend had her espresso martini for a pick-me-up. They were both amazing. I let friends try my cocktail and they all loved it! The creaminess, subtle sweet taro, and chilled mix was a very good blend. One of the best cocktails I've ever had but not very strong. I had maybe 3 of them and another cocktail (La Dama) but still felt like I was only 1-2 drinks in. Overall the whole experience was amazing. I think this is a good bar for a party scene with good bites outside. The music was very inner city rap, some hip hop, and pop music. Shout out latenite!

Do people still yelp? Ok. I have been here 2 times. Each time was a completely different experience. Let's get down to it. Overall experience was great. The vibe is great. The drinks are top tier! The crowd is so diverse and friendly and the DJ spins hits!! The food trucks they have on site have been good. I cannot remember the trucks names but I am going to say that the food was clutch. Overall space is clean and tight. Didnt use the bathroom so I cant speak on that. The parking is small but it was available both times so I had no issues there. Now visit 1- service was amazing!! Absolutely no complaints. I sat at the bar and was served in a timely fashion no matter how many patrons arrived. It got pretty crowded towards the evening and I still have no complaints. Visit 2 started off so amazing. The first server was on it! When the next server arrived, things went down hill. I sat at the bar for this experience as well. Have you ever been ignored at the bar? 10 inches from the bartender??? When I say he would not acknowledge any woman, I am not exaggerating. I had to befriend a male to get any service!! He dragged the entire experience down. Now, dont let my second visit deter you. Just make sure that your server acknowledges you and if they dont, ask for another one. I wish I remembered his name. If I ever do, I will edit this.

Update: recent advertisement of free crawfish from 2 pm - 2 am on Friday, 4/5. We showed up at 2:10 pm, left at 4:15, with no crawfish lol and also a $75 tab because 1. They charge a TABC fee, and 2. an automatic 20% tip for the bartenders. Make sure you check your receipts!! I can't lol.

Doesn't look like much from the outside and is right next to a tire shop but inside is a quaint cocktail bar that also has a dog friendly patio. They recently instituted automatic 20% grat on every tab which is ironic because the worst part about this place is the unfriendly service. The seating booths inside are pretty beat up and torn. The cocktail menu rotates each season with majority of them being awesome! Highly recommend the mango painkiller and coquito when they have it! Parking is available across the street in a small dirt lot.

A chill neighborhood place earlier in the night. I have heard it can get pretty crazy and crowded on the weekends late into the night though Parking: There's street parking and a whole lot across the street. We had no problems but I imagine parking can get limited if the place is significantly busy. Drinks: I expected mostly just beers but they have quite a list of more indepth, fancier mixed drinks which was exciting! They also have frozen margaritas and wine as well. So there's quite a variety! Sadly they only had pineapple cider which was a disappointment to me personally. Seating:There's minimal seating inside but outside has quite a few picnic tables. For the size there seems to be plenty of seating plus the outside patio is dog friendly woo! Price:Margaritas were about $12 which was on the higher side based on the size of the glass. Topo chick's were priced quite a bit higher than other places as well. We definitely felt that the bill at the end of the night was quite a bit higher than other places but didn't feel like it wasn't worth it. Food:We went on Friday night and there was an awesome food truck there ! I'd definitely like to note some of the interior design/decor. It was pretty and someone definitely put thought into it. The bouncer was very no-nonsense and not particularly friendly. He did do pat-downs of the men when coming in.

This is supposed to be a low dive bar where I went to meet up with some friends on a Wednesday night. When my friend and I went in in our work scrubs, the door guy insisted that we must be frisked. I've been to multiple bars in Near Northside, and this is the first time I've experienced this. Like that one Friends episode, he checked the balls twice, once in the front once in the back. My buddy only got his balls checked once but I'm much cuter. What was weirder was that he didn't check my buddy's backpack.Once inside, there was a house dj was mixing and the music was loud. The crowd was young, mostly Hispanic but I didn't see anyone that looked like they should be frisked. When I asked my friends inside whether they had been frisked. No, of course not.I can't recommend a place with that kind of cover.The service was nice. When I bought two beers the bill came out to 21 dollars since there was a service charge and also a charge for the house music. Maybe their customers are bad tippers too?

What this rabbit hole I just stepped into?? An ambiguous building on the outside in an area I don't really frequent that often and yet so eclectic on the inside. When we first drove by and our GPS said 'you've arrived' it took me a minute to figure it out. But then we saw the rabbit door so we parked across the street and opted to go inside. What an interesting place this little gem is. Quite the mix of people and ages where scattered throughout the bar. There was lots of art to catch the eye as well. Plenty of seats at the bar or smaller tables by the window. Looked like a good amount of seating on the patio, but no one was out there when we went. Seems like they have food trucks at certain times as well (I'm going to figure that out for the next time we go).This little place has a mighty good drink menu. Our mixologist was really nice and even hooked us up with some tasty shots he whipped up. We had several rounds here and now I have my new cocktail spot before shows at White Oak! Bonus!!If you find yourself up this way, it's a must stop in. But really you should just go and check it out - get an Uber or Lyft and sample the many cocktails with good friends!

HOUSTON GEM! Love it here!! The environment is top tier. Amazing cocktails and They have such delicious wings! Also tried their crawfish and they were 12/10!!! So good!!! I come here to get work done, have a drink and eat. The people here are also cool. Bartender service is great! Highly recommend!!!

This place was pretty cool. We were a bit apprehensive, as the bar located in a seemingly not-so-great area, however, once we parked and walked in, we felt much better. The service was good, I appreciate the fact that even though there was only one bartender and there were a decent amount of guests, he still brought all our drinks to the table. I got the coquito and my partner got the espresso martini. I really loved the coquito, it was a classic taste and I also appreciated that they still had coquito being that it's almost February. My partner said the espresso martini is good but just too sweet being that they add 3 different flavored syrups. After that we got the cosmopolitan and the mango painkiller! The cosmopolitan was very good and the mango painkiller was awesome! I would definitely come back and recommend!
