Jethro's Cocktail Lounge

"This new casual Montrose haunt hits on all of the things that Houstonians love in a good cocktail lounge. In addition to beer and wine, bargoers can enjoy their favorite classic cocktails or find a new favorite on the signature cocktail list to enjoy on Jethro’s patio. Summery drinks include the Sweet Like Peachtree, a vodka cocktail made with peach puree, lemon, ginger beer, and simple syrup, and the fruity Not Your Dad’s Old Fashioned, a pairing of hibiscus-infused rye whiskey, fernet, Luxardo, simple syrup, and angostura. And when hunger strikes, Jethro’s keeps the food menu short and savory, with chicken tenders, fries, and its signature smash burger with a juicy patty made with short rib, brisket, and chuck steak." - Brittany Britto Garley

"Visit this cocktail lounge before 7 p.m., and you’ll spot diners lining up at the bar for an unbeatable deal. Jethro’s signature smash burgers, topped with melted cheese, onions, pickles, and its house sauce, are $7 with a side of fries before 7 p.m. Pair it with a $8 cocktail during its happy hour (Tuesday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.), and call it a Happy Meal." - Brianna Griff, Brittany Britto Garley

"This Montrose cocktail lounge is a great place to grab a drink, but its smash burgers might be its secret weapon for getting bargoers in the door. Diners can be seen lining up at the bar to order its classic burger, which features a juicy patty made up of a blend of brisket, short rib, and chuck roast, is loaded on toasted brioche with a creamy house burger sauce, pickles, and American cheese. Score an unbeatable deal before 7 p.m., when its signature smash burgers and fries are $7. Other styles of burgers are available. The Rodeo burger is topped with bacon, American cheese, jalapeno, and a smokey barbecue sauce, while the OKC double cheeseburger offers a combination of grilled onions, American cheese, and mayo." - Brittany Britto Garley

"This Montrose cocktail lounge will offer half-priced smash burgers on Election Day for those showing their “I Voted” stickers." - Brittany Britto Garley

"Jethro’s Cocktail Lounge is the latest bar to pop up in Montrose. Jethro’s is keeping it simple, with 10 cocktails on the menu, including a watermelon margarita and the team’s interpretation of an Old Fashioned. On the food side, there will be a vegetarian-friendly option and fries, but it’s otherwise all about a smashburger (which gets a special house sauce and a brioche bun).
