"In an old gas station, this canine-friendly Heights patio bar serves birria tacos, barbacoa or fajita chicken nachos, and more, alongside excellent frozens and a variety of Ranch waters. The whiskey collection is impressive, with bottles towering high above patrons at the bar. Try your luck at the ring toss game, in which guests are given a complimentary shot of whatever bottle behind the bar that they can toss a ring around." - Brianna Griff
"This very-Houston watering hole boasts a huge cocktail menu, mainly featuring whiskey drinks, but the margaritas are a highlight here, too. Choose a more classic margarita, made with blanco tequila, orange liqueur, and egg white, or opt for the Watermelon Mezcal, featuring watermelon hibiscus syrup. Pair with one of the ice house’s most excellent tacos, and you’ve found Tex-Mex bliss in a whiskey-drenched bar." - Marcy de Luna
"If you're really into whiskey (or fancy booze in general) then walking into Eight Row Flint is like when those kids in The Goonies stumble into that room full of pirate treasure. What was once a mid-century dry cleaning shop in The Heights is now a fully-stocked bar—like ready-to-withstand nuclear fallout stocked—complete with a 25-page food and drink menu and hulking casks full of delicious whiskey. You can also rent a locker, because that's still a thing, and become That Whiskey Person. We all have our hobbies. Eight Row's giant patio is also a great place to take a date, snack on a cheeseburger and wings, or grab a few Happy Hour drinks during the week." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
"Most Texans associate “ice houses” with inexpensive canned beers and casual cookout fare, but at Eight Row Flint, this laidback indoor-outdoor roadside experience gets a more polished upgrade. That’s why you’ll find a cocktail list at Eight Row Flint that drastically exceeds usual ice house expectations, as proven by drinks like the Banahattan by Savannah Byers and Christina Ramey, a spirit-forward cocktail with Zacapa No. 23 Rum, Amaro Nonino, walnut liqueur, creme de banane, piloncillo, and baking spice bitters with a cherry and bruleed banana garnish." - Taylor Tobin
"Find $7 select cocktails; $5 select beers; and $8 wines during Eight Row Flint’s extra-long weekday happy hour from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Heights outpost, housed in a transformed mid-century gas station with seating that spills out onto a wraparound patio, is a popular go-to, but its new location in the East End is just as worthy. You’ll find happy hour specials such as $3 off frozen drinks and $7 Kentucky mules Tuesday through Friday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and all day on Mondays." - Brianna Griff
