"Take a step back in time when you enter La Carafe. This moody, candlelit bar is housed in the oldest commercial building in Houston and is rumored to be haunted.  Conversation-starting art and antiques add to the ambiance, along with jukebox tunes spanning from Etta James’ “At Last” to Bob Marley’s “No Woman, No Cry.” To further enhance the back-in-time vibes, La Carafe’s cash register is from another era, so make sure to bring your card. This place is card only." - Brianna Griff
