Houston’s Best New Cocktail Bars | Eater Houston

"Montrose’s neighborhood collective heats up with this cocktail bar and lounge, which delivers a two-part experience with an air of French je ne sais quoi. Peek behind a curtain downstairs, and find a sultry cocktail lounge that channels the romance of Paris with velvet seating, oversized chandeliers, and cocktails like its My Friend Picasso. Made for two, this take on a gin and tonic features French gin infused with lemon and thyme topped with elderflower tonic. Upstairs, the bright rooftop bar is more French Riviera — with views of Montrose’s busy corner, live entertainment on select nights, and plenty of refreshing cocktails with floral garnishes. The food is just as alluring, with lemon-butter fettuccine topped with caviar, charcuterie boards, and its Sophie Burger topped with gruyere and caramelized onions." - Marcy de Luna
