Houston’s 16 Hottest Cocktail Bars, July 2024
"Walk through the doors of Kanpai Club, and you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a Japanese subway station. That’s the idea behind the Spring Branch location of the cashless speakeasy-style bar that has become quickly known for compelling cocktails and Japanese bar snacks. Another extension of Hando’s growing food and drink consortium, Hando’s clarified milk punch, jolted with a heady mixture of rum, mezcal, and brandy, and brightened by citrus, is unmissable, as are a range of plates like the Brussels sprouts topped with bonito flakes and wagyu gyoza. Don’t skip the bar’s live entertainment offerings, either — a private, reservable karaoke room is on the way." - Brittany Britto Garley, Kayla Stewart
