The Flat

I absolutely love The Flat, it was my first time going. Super lively, especially for a Sunday night. It was so full of life, very chill music and vibe. The service was absolutely amazing. The bartenders Nico and Kali are THE dynamic duo! The green tea shots that I was given were amazing! I absolutely love this lively, fun, chill spot. 100% recommend!

This place is a vibe. I came here Wednesday (Reggae) night it was lit. The crowd was diverse and everybody was vibing. I enjoyed the music and the drinks were cheap. I would def come back here.The only drawback is the fact that the bartenders add tips to your bill at the end of the night/ next day. I paid with my cash app card and the next morning my $7 purchase turned into $10. I never tipped so I know someone added it. Luckily $3 isn't that big of a deal to me but if it was more I would've raised hell. Do not use important cards when here use a throw away.

The Flat is a dope vibe on Wednesday nights (only times I've been) with good music, people, food and drinks. If you've ever been to a basement like party in Brooklyn, this is the same vibe. Located in the Montrose neighborhood, The Flat caters to all. Every time I've been, the crowd is diverse, and that ranges across all ages, race, geographic location and gender identity. It's free to get in and there's plenty of street parking available. There's a Caribbean food truck out front and a guy who makes wings on the outdoor patio. I enjoy being out on the patio because there's plenty seating and you get to converse with other party goers and meet great people. It's also a breath of fresh air to go out in Houston and not have to deal with valet, entry fee or sections.

The flat has some miles on it, which is good considering how much has changed in the Montrose area. You're pretty much guaranteed good drinks & service any day of the week. Whether inside at the bar/lounge, or outside on the patio, there's a general chill vibe. Good spot to go with friends if you want to sit in a nice place to chill, drink & cut up. There's always a diverse crowd to; in multiple ways, but everyone is always there for a good time! Easy to mix & mingle groups as well.

I've been coming to The Flat for my tenure in Houston (~15 years) and it's been consistent with quality drinks and tunes/DJs. Love, love, love the frozen mojito and flatbreads. Bartenders are always nice and welcoming. My newest reason to come is EverythingFrenchToast for brunch on the wkds, delicious!

They have HH 4-7pm on weekdays and 11-7pm on weekends. The pizzas are half off and some of their drinks are discounted too. Got the spicy chicken, banh mi, and the goat pizzas. Pizzas are huge and definitely worth $8-9. The quality of the crust is okay, not the best pizza but the toppings were flavorful. The music is pretty loud since there's a live DJ, so it can be hard to have conversations, but I loved the vibes! There was a wall of vinyl records, surrounding the DJ. Felt like a cool nyc spot.

Good ambiance. Chill vibes. This location is small but offers both Indoor and outdoor patio setting.

The flat is such a chill vibe and a perfect place to come and unwind at after work. Augustine behind the bar always makes me feel so at home when I come. He provides excellent service and he really knows how to make the best espresso martinis. The pizza here is stellar as well so if you're hungry i definitely recommend that.

DO NOT GO HERE! My friend and I came here and ordered 2 drinks. TWO! The total came to $24 and with tip came to $32. Why the heck did we get charged $82??? We contacted the manager and the manager is a useless sack of crap who didn't help at all. Horrible customer service. Horrible seating arrangements, it's crowded beyond belief with no place to sit either. WILL NEVER COME HERE DO NOT RECOMMEND

The drinks are great. I love the craft drinks and the shots. As a Chicago house head though...something is amiss. I move for a minute or two then am sitting down. Listening for something to get me back up again. Can't quite put my finger on it. A tad more soul could be placed in the mixes. Old school house, soulful contemporary house, just...more than what was displayed. If it's supposed to be all techno, cool - but I looked to see who came and went (because they were underwhelmed) and it seemed like soulful house, deep house, old school house, etc. would've been appreciated greatly.
