The Best Bars in Houston | Eater Houston

"This scene-y bar, housed in the historic Star Engraving Company building, has quickly become one of Houston’s hottest drinking spots. The building, which dates back to 1930, was built in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, making it feel like a true escape within the city. Inside, an intimate bar with 14 seats anchors the minimalistic space, with lounge seating spread throughout. Go for the espresso martini, garnished with a toasted marshmallow, the edgy Pornstar Martini, or the fall-forward Autumn Mai Tai, white rum, dark rum, orgeat, muddled fig, and cardamom. Enjoy its weekday happy hour from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. when bargoers can score $10 signature cocktails, $5 beers, and half-off bottles of wine and charcuterie boards." - Brittany Britto Garley
