Houston’s Best Houston Cocktail Bars

"Nestled in an unassuming building in Spring Branch is one of the coolest and most creative bars in town. While tables are available, the best seats in the house are at its bar, where a mixologist creates a spectacle using modern gastronomy to craft clear and clarified espresso martinis, envelope Old Fashioneds in tufts of smoke, and capture the essence of in a gin-based creation. For what is possibly Houston’s fanciest martini, order the Antoine Gibson. Made with gin and a vermouth blend, this ice-cold martini comes with a spoonful of caviar, accouterments, and a beaker of savory broth. Reservations are encouraged." - Brittany Britto Garley
