The 11 Best Hidden Bars & Speakeasies In Houston - Houston - The Infatuation

"The bright blue door marking the entrance of Marfreless, the somewhat taboo “lifestyle” bar in River Oaks, is legendary. It’s also devoid of any signage, partially obscured under a metal staircase, and on the backside of a shopping strip center. If you know, you know. And if you don’t, you’ll never notice it. Going to Marfreless (especially heading upstairs to the “couples only” section) for almost any reason is a bold choice. Because you’re not at Marfreless only for the drinks—although they are well-made and strong—you’re here to see, or be seen, or not be seen (by anyone you know)." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
