"Bar Buena is a mezcal lounge from the team behind Goode Co. Kitchen & Cantina in River Oaks, where the lights are low and the shelves are stacked with Mexican spirits. There's an extensive agave list and cocktails like the clarified milk punch-spiked Ardilla and the bitter, banana-laced Uno Amargo. The small food menu focuses on coastal central Mexican plates, including Gulf crab tostadas, ribeye tacos, and masa cakes with braised duck leg. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Brooke Viggiano
