"Like all the best Houston clubstaurants, the patio makes up roughly 85% of Bar 5015 in the Third Ward. Covered by hardworking awning, the patio has an ample amount of booths and tables, and with a walkup bar, there isn’t much reason to go inside of the restaurant, except maybe to use the restroom. Unless you thrive in environments where you’re all but shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers, the best time to come to Bar 5015 is right when they open on the weekdays, where you can have your pick of the seating options. And while we can’t quite explain the science, the frozen drinks do seem to taste better when they’re sipped outside." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
