The Best Houston Restaurants for Private Dining | Eater Houston

"Everything is bigger in Texas, and at this Texas-focused restaurant, that rings especially true for its private dining space. Deemed the Party Barn, Haywire’s newly opened rustic yet sophisticated private dining space spans over 2,000 square feet, with room for 100 seated guests. Diners can take advantage of the fall feather at the indoor-outdoor bar that seats 18 or the outdoor courtyard with firepits that accommodates up to 60 people. The menu features sharable plates like lump crab dip and fried green tomatoes, plus Lone Star State-inspired dishes like chicken-fried steak, roasted garlic-stuffed filet, and blackened catfish & Gulf shrimp served with andouille butter and roasted Cajun corn. Don’t miss out on the Judd Old Fashioned. Made with Haywire’s hand-selected barrel Balcones Single Malt Whiskey, simple syrup, peach bitters, and spiced pecans, this spiffy cocktail is smoked tableside." - Marcy de Luna
