"At Loro, patio season is serious. The Heights location of this Tex-Asian smokehouse and bar from Ty Cole and pitmaster Aaron Franklin already offers the perfect ambiance for enjoying Houston’s spring-like weather, with an outdoor patio with plenty of table and lounge seating — as well as swing seats. They’ve also debuted a limited line-up of off-menu Mash Up drinks through April 30. These new drinks, crafted by Loro bartenders, feature new spins on Loro staples like Mango Sake Slushees infused with mezcal and Scrappy’s Firewater Bitters, a yuzu spritz combined with a Hendrick’s Gin Float, and a frozen chamoy drink." - Brittany Britto Garley
