Roswell’s Saloon

"For impeccable vibes, intergalactic drinks, and a soundtrack bound that’ll make your head bop, dip into this black-lit, space-themed lounge in Montrose. Roswell’s bartenders sling cosmic cocktails, such as its Crop Circle sip mixed with homemade elote syrup and the Pale Blue Dot that’s served in a planet-like sphere glass, plus specials celebrating the current zodiac sign. But if those are too otherworldly, don’t be afraid to order off the menu. Visit during “sunset hours” from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. to see first-hand how the bar transitions into its nighttime hours while indulging in half-priced cocktails and draft beer, wine, and bubbles for $2 off." - Brittany Britto Garley

"One of Space City’s newest watering holes is certainly on brand. Shawn Bermudez, co-owner of the Burger Joint and the Taco Stand, finally opened Roswell’s in May, offering a black-lit, spacey setting to enjoy cosmic drinks like the Pale Blue Dot, and the Crop Circles cocktail, which features elote syrup and a extraterrestrial marking on top. The cocktail lounge also trades in typical happy hours for “sunset hours,” inviting guests in from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. to enjoy $6 cocktails and watch as the celestial-themed bar comes alive." - Brittany Britto Garley, Kayla Stewart

"Dedicated to all things intergalactic, there’s no such thing as a bad time at Roswell’s Saloon in Montrose. Decked out in blacklights, this bar is probably where the aliens would visit first if they touched down in Houston. Choose from a pinwheel of cocktails (including one in honor of the current zodiac season), and slingback drinks at the LED bar. Or, take your glow-in-the-dark shots upstairs, where you’ll find plush velvet booths for canoodling, high top chairs that look over the bottom level of the bar, and every neon poster in existence within 10 square miles of the city. And if you’re feeling particularly festive, you can always channel your inner child and get some custom art by one of the on staff body painters. " - Gianni Greene

"Though the “sunset” hours in this black-lit extraterrestrial bar are only held from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., it’s the perfect chance to experience a taste of this new Montrose hotspot and watch it come alive. Find $6 cocktails with spacey themes, like its Crop Circle formation-topped cocktails mixed with homemade elote syrup, and $2 off all bubbles, draft beer, and wine. Be sure to check out the featured Zodiac-inspired cocktail of the month." - Brittany Britto Garley, Lane Gillespie
