Drink Cocktails By a Pool at El Segundo Swim Club, Houston’s Newest Pool Bar - Eater Houston
"El Segundo Swim Club, billed as Houston’s only private outdoor swim club and bar, starts pouring paloma pitchers poolside on Friday, August 30. The airy adult-only oasis first emerged in the Second Ward last summer, but only as a pop-up over two weekends, according to a rep for the bar. Now the urban respite is fully finished, decked out with a bohemian-meets-industrial chic design by Gin Design Group. Hip Coachella vibes are aplenty at the orange umbrella-lined pool, filled with hammocks, swaying palms, and shipping containers-turned-cabanas splashed with retro surfboard prints. The pool was late to the party this summer due to construction and permitting delays of its full buildout. The beverage menu, curated by master Houston mixologist Chris Frankel, features a flurry of fruity elixirs and pitchers for five, on-trend White Claw, and canned beers and wines like potent Babe rose. A 'by the book' section includes short summer reads for $15." - Tierney Plumb
