The Best Hotel Restaurants and Bars in Houston

"Located at the base of the Thompson Hotel, this location marks Maven’s first outpost outside of a stadium. Diners can find small bites, quiche, egg bites, turkey sandwiches, and Common Bond croissants until 3 p.m., but the focus is mostly on cocktails, coffee, and other caffeinated drinks. Must-try items include Maven’s carajillo, made with its signature cold brew concentrate, the espresso martinis, and depending on how talkative you’re feeling, the Conversation Starter (zephyr, passionfruit, chai, mint) or the Conversation Killer (Nordes gin, lime, green chartreuse, maraschino). If wanting to explore more of Maven’s food offerings, visit its standalone restaurant in Sawyer Yards." - Brittany Britto Garley
