"Want to be wowed? Haywire’s the Judd ($25) is a showstopper. Built around a hand-selected barrel of Balcones single malt whiskey, this Southern-inspired Old Fashioned features simple syrup, peach bitters, and spiced pecans. To complete the experience, a server sets the cocktail in a special box, smoking the Old Fashioned tableside and sealing in the flavor and creating a photo-worthy moment. For something more subtle, consider the signature Haywire ($14), Vaquero with tequila and mezcal ($14), and Caramel Rye with 7-year-old Knob Creek ($16)." - Brianna Griff
"Honoring the best of Texas, Haywire provides a cozy setting — think floor to ceiling windows and plush camel-colored leather chairs — with a menu that’s as bold as the Lone Star State. Favorites include the Texas farm raised redfish with jumbo lump crab and rock shrimp; mini elk tacos packed with grilled corn pico de gallo; and the indulgent chicken-fried steak, the latter served alongside whipped potatoes, green beans, jalapeño sausage gravy. Complementing the food offerings is an impressive drink selection, featuring over 400 bottles of wine and more than 200 whiskeys." - Marcy de Luna
"Haywire, a sister restaurant to Mexican Sugar, opened a location in Memorial City, Houston in June." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Everything is bigger in Texas, and at this Texas-focused restaurant, that rings especially true for its private dining space. Deemed the Party Barn, Haywire’s newly opened rustic yet sophisticated private dining space spans over 2,000 square feet, with room for 100 seated guests. Diners can take advantage of the fall feather at the indoor-outdoor bar that seats 18 or the outdoor courtyard with firepits that accommodates up to 60 people. The menu features sharable plates like lump crab dip and fried green tomatoes, plus Lone Star State-inspired dishes like chicken-fried steak, roasted garlic-stuffed filet, and blackened catfish & Gulf shrimp served with andouille butter and roasted Cajun corn. Don’t miss out on the Judd Old Fashioned. Made with Haywire’s hand-selected barrel Balcones Single Malt Whiskey, simple syrup, peach bitters, and spiced pecans, this spiffy cocktail is smoked tableside." - Marcy de Luna
"This Dallas transplant prides itself on using Texas ingredients, and its espresso martini is no different. Aptly titled the Texpresso martini, Haywire serves a combination of Wheatley vodka, local coffee liqueur and cold brew from Katz Coffee, and simple syrup for the perfectly balanced, caffeinated cocktail." - Brittany Britto Garley
