Could've sworn I'd written a review for Sunset before but anyhoo...I really enjoy Sunset because just like the namesake, I love a beautiful sunset on a rooftop setting. Each time I've come here the Dj's have had a good mix of music and a chill vibe to the crowd. One day I came there was a group of older ladies there & they were ready to parrrtaaaaay baby. Had the whole place lit!! LOL Another random day I was solo on the roof & then 3 people came up. The one guy was filming a video for his new Latin style music video. The other 2 were the camera crew. We jokingly added me as the "sexy eyes, cocktail in hand" lady in the video. It was hilarious.Bartenders are cool. I can only think of one bad service experience but noticed over a month or so after the bartender was no longer there. Good drinks at nice prices for the area. If you're ready to just chill out and have fun with a crowed of all kinds, head over to Sunset. Yelp on my friends!

My friends and I ended up at Sunset after a day of day drinking. Ironically, it was right before sunset when we arrived which made for beautiful views. This is a rooftop bar so you have the option of stairs or an elevator. We underestimated the stairs which were no easy feat, especially after the walking we did earlier. Coming in from the stairs or elevator, you walk right into the bar. It is not big by any means, but we never felt crowded. There was a couple of tables inside to set up shop, but we came for the patio and the views. Outside is a decent sized rooftop patio that gives spectacular views of south downtown as well as Truck Yard's cool patio and ferris wheel. They had a DJ spinning some good tunes which made it an even better all around vibe. There's plenty of seating and we were able to snag a nice couch area. I imagine it might be hard to snag a seat later in the evening.Omar was our bartender for the evening and he definitely has the gift of slinging drinks. It was supposed to be a one and done drink spot for us, but he was making our drinks so good, we made a night out of it. My first drink was the classic old fashioned. It was tasty, but I wish they had the proper ice for the drink. Later on, I told him to make his best rum drink, and he made his own concoction which was absolutely divine and also everyone's favorite. I tried little sips of my friends drinks here and there and everything was good. We are already planning a return visit because this place was pretty great!

Went to Sunset last Wednesday evening and it was...interesting. My friends and I walked in and it looked like a warlock/witchcraft convention was going on. Alas, I am not easily deterred. One of my pals was ready to turn it on around and get out of there but I just had to check out the rooftop terrace I had seen from below while we were walking along the street towards the place. Plus I figured, we're here let's just check it all out. Besides as a Yelp Elite, I've pretty much always got The review I'm gonna leave in the back of my mind. Gotta make sure I've got enough to comment on. Anyway, the terrace had great views of the city and the weather was nice so it felt great. The crowd however was very, again...interesting. There was a gentleman there wearing a full face mask, eyes covered and all, who was smoking a pipe filled with god knows what through his mask. In another area there was someone twirling batons/ribbons. Oh and just b4 you step outside there was a vendor selling "party favors" to patrons. Don't get me wrong, the people watching in this place was top tier. Oh and in another area on the terrace there was someone selling crystals and gems and things. Well, turns out every 3rd Wednesday of the month is Rave night. That explained a lot. The bouncers at the door advised us as we were leaving that Fri and Sat are "normal" nights. I would possibly try this place out on one of those nights if I'm in the area in the future but admittedly the online reviews of this place don't have me too excited to run back.It was hard to decide between 2 and 3 stars.

Had so much fun the rooftop is a vibe!!! Went Saturday night and we were shoulder to shoulder with everyone up there but had a blast. Good energy good music, everyone was so chill and dancing with you. It's definitely a free spirited energy, if you're like me and you can't dance and you're self conscious this is the place to dance like nobody's watching! Act a fool and have fun.

Stopped by to check it out. It's too small of a place, both Inside and patio/rooftop area. The lounge smelled like dirty dish towel water. The bartender was quick but he didn't know how to make drinks. They were way to strong to drink. I ordered a lemon drop and a Paloma that were so bad, I didn't drink a drop after my first sip. There was a person wearing a STAFF shirt that keep flirting with a group of girls and bringing them drinks, which is fine, but then he would leave the empty glass on our table instead of taking back to the bar. The music was pretty much would you would expect to hear so nothing special.

Nice bar with a rooftop patio that over looks the skyline.What made it an unforgettable night was the DJ they had on set. He was ripping electronic music and doing solos live on his saxophone (see photo). I'd call in ahead to make sure he's playing before I come back.Overall the drinks were a bit more then the other bars. The atmosphere is nice and inviting!

This was my second time coming to Sunset lounge and both times were because a friend was having something there. It doesn't look like much on the outside and you have to take an elevator upstairs to get to the lounge. The lounge itself is small...both inside and out and it will get crowded fast. The bartenders are busy but fast. The drinks are good but there is no food. The views are great but good luck finding parking...it is right near all the other bars and the stadium. So don't be like us and go when there is an Astros game lol.Would I go back? Sure...only if a friend was having something there. Rating? Above average...3 1/2 stars...nothing really stood out but it is a fun place.
