The Heights Social

I didn’t want to believe the stories I’d heard about this place, but after what happened to us, it’s clear they have a problem. My friends and I showed up dressed well and definitely within the dress code. We even offered to pay $60 for the three of us to get in. The bouncer agreed and was about to let us through, but then the manager got on the radio and told him not to let us in. We didn’t cause a scene. We got back in line and waited again. When we reached the front for the second time, another bouncer looked ready to let us in until the manager stepped in again and shut it down. No explanation. Just “not happening.” Meanwhile, we watched other people walk right in wearing the same outfits. It was clear what the difference was. It’s 2025. There’s no excuse for this kind of treatment, especially in a city as diverse as Houston. We followed the rules, acted respectfully, and still weren’t welcome. This place needs to take a hard look at how it treats people. This was unacceptable

I went here for a fundraiser event and the bartenders were tip gouging, they included the max gratuity, but didn’t let anyone know tips were included. When I asked for itemized receipts they said they couldn’t do it for this event. Eventually another bartender let me know the tips were included. I spoke to the owner and it didn’t seem like a high priority because minutes later it was still happening. It was a FUNDRAISER EVENT. Tips don’t go to the charity they go to bartenders that were already getting an automatic gratuity. That amount of greed is disappointing. Those extra tips should be refunded and a donation should be made to the charity. You know who you are and you know what you did.

This place has the potential to be great, especially for a brunch crowd! They need some drink specials or something. I understand that it is under new management so I look forward to coming back! There is plenty of parking, including valet. The décor is just gorgeous! Plenty of photo ops! The food was mid- i wish i could have tried the charred pineapple wings! The truffle fries were pretty good! My spicy margarita made my the bartender (forgot his name now) was pretty awesome! Also since it is football season- football every where! 🤩

1 of 3 bars hopped on Sat 20Jul. Arrived around 7 with a big group. It was a really good time bc we were the only people there. Our bartender was great. She made great convo along while making our Happy Hour drinks, which were fantastic, Thanks Tiffany. My wife had an Espresso Martini. If you love coffee, this is a great choice, and I had the Old Fashion made with Bulleit. Both were very good & well made. Our friends ordered buckets of beer. Additionally, they have tv's all around to watch the Astros or whatever is playing. We didn't order any food this time, but the menu looks decent and worth a try. Had a really great time, and I'm sure we'll be back.

This bar was so cute and fun! I really liked their choice of light colors! They focused mainly on blue and red with some yellow in between with the light shows! I also loved the mega huge tv screens. At some points, you could see the bars reflection. If you so happened to be within view of the cameras shot, you could see your self near the bar! I also loved the sections and section performance each time they brought out bottle service. Sections start at $5k but well worth it since I didn’t end up paying and was invited by a friend. The sections are super comfy, plenty of space to seat up to 12 guests! This place allegedly has food, but when we arrived, non was available so maybe they only focus on being a bar at night. The bartenders were so nice and thorough. Although the section had plenty of bottles, they don’t have much as far as being able to create cute cocktails so I ended up going to the bar which was a serious vibe! They have 2 bars to choose from so you’ll be taken care of. Also, loved the atmosphere. You’ll be surrounded by strangers but, it won’t feel that way. Everyone dances and is so nice. They actually strike up conversations with you so it enhances the experience!

Would give zero stars if I could. Went here last night and as they were closing I realized I left my car keys in one of the women's restroom stalls so l went to the restroom and the guy working was blocking the stalls so l explained I left my keys and what stall I was in and he was so extremely rude and unhelpful, he said nobody found any keys and I asked if they could check again or if I could go in really quick to check and he had the nastiest attitude and said no then proceeded to call me entitled because I was trying to find my keys. When I asked another worker if they could help me, the sassy rude man saw me and told the other guy not to help me. After asking about FIVE employees, one finally went and found my keys in the restroom exactly where I said they were. So rude and nasty for no reason, will absolutely not be returning. Hire better employees.

So last night a group of us tried to go here. The bouncer told me no Rips in jeans or certain shoes are not allowed. I was going to leave until they let this white guy in with everything I had on with no problem. A couple people had this on but they all were white . This place barely ever has people in here in a see why. Funny how all the other bars never treat us like this . I will spread the word about this as someone who’s lived in the heights longer then you have been open

Door guy pulled the “you can’t get in with those shoes” bit, but the bouncer behind him was wearing the same pair as me. Then the promoter who we booked a table with came out wearing Jordan 1s. Didn’t really care because the place was empty anyway at 11:30pm. Walked over to BLVD and spent our money there instead. Skip this bar, there are much better options a short walk away.

Girls' Night! One of my best friends recommended this place for our Friday night get-together, so it was nice to visit a place I hadn't been before. This place certainly has a nice upscale lounge vibe complete with intimate lighting, plush seating, and yummy drinks. We had an amazing bartender, but the food was just average. If I were to return it would be just for the cocktails and the upscale ambiance that this venue offers. SOMETHING TO NOTE: Self-parking is available on the left side of the building, but it is paid, so be sure you have either cash or a card handy.

The restaurant opened this week and from the outside in; its aesthetically pleasing. Great for photos during brunch or watching sports on the big screens. Its open seating; walk in and seat yourself. They have a DJ booth and tons of people working. However the service wasn't that great and neither was the food. They didn't have a physical brunch menu and the waitress wasn't sure what was available for brunch. We found out there were only 3 brunch items and the champagne carts we're not being offered. Only by the cup or bottle. The 3 items were avocado, toast, breakfast, pizza, and beignets. We ended up ordering off the regular menu wings, brussels sprouts, and truffle fries. The wings were mediocre. The brussels sprouts were soggy and soft and really salty. Fries were OK. We ordered drinks but didn't get them til after our food had arrived. She said she forgot. Overall if I go back; it would be for drinks and the ambience.

This bar was so cute and fun! I really liked their choice of light colors! They focused mainly on blue and red with some yellow in between with the light shows! I also loved the mega huge tv screens.

Visited twice (Thursday night 9pm /Saturday 8pm) Parking : valet $20-$40 / Street parking No entry fee Open seating on Thursday at 9pm Open seating on Saturday at 8pm (until the party starts around 11 ) There's a split layout you have lux louge seating near the entrance and then booth section seating near the DJ Food : don't go here expecting a fine dining experience this is not that. This is not a restaurant with a bar...this is an elevated louge with a kitchen... more of typical bar food we ordered wings (average ) truffle fries (which were so good ) and mozzarella sticks Service: sit at the bar if you want immediate service otherwise expect to go up to the bars as servers are not walking around consistently Drinks : I drink French 75s which were made as expected. My friends enjoyed their drinks Music : there's was a playlist going on on Thursday On Saturday a DJ arrived by 10pm (plays a mix of music ) the crowd also started pouring in by 10:30-11pm (crowd: diverse )

A friend and I visited after she saw their promotion of their Cinco de Mayo tequila flight special. We stopped by to enjoy that. For $50, we received 4 1oz pours of different top shelf tequilas. It was a great way to try some new, quality tequilas. The tequila was also paired with an accompaniment, as well as a palette cleanser for our noses. The bartenders were great. They kept us engaged in conversation the entire visit. We also ordered mozzarella sticks to snack on, which were good. During our visit, a mariachi band came and performed. Would definitely return.

Honestly with the name Heights Social, you would think this place would stand out to be truly an elevated social place instead it turned out to be a shed with Amazon decor...the sound system is pretty loud for such a small place. The server kept yelling at us to try and explain her drinks. They have super crazy bottle packages, this ain't vegas....the drinks were blah, the martini choices sound so good but they haven't perfected what they craft. The food is Horrible!!!! The wings seemed like they were pre made and sitting under a heat lamp or a microwave. We specifically asked for crispy wings and got soggy breaded wings. The panini was ok. I think the best thing out of this place is that they don't serve water in plastic cups!!! I guess that's why they get one star!

The space is absolutely gorgeous. A lot of thought went into it! However, the service was terrible and the food was mid. We went for a friends birthday at 1pm. It wasn't busy. I was given dirty water glasses twice. When our server finally appeared and I asked for more water we were given a dirty water carafe. Fried pickles took 30 min to come out. Our entrees came out before the appetizer we eventually ordered. We were rarely checked on and had to wave down our server and bussers. There's potential here and I know they just opened. But my review shows the same concerns as other yelpers: Train your service staff to be attentive and visible! Not sure if I'll return. They're situated around several other options that don't charge you $10 to park your own car and then ignore you

This place is beautiful as it is amazing. Carlos made sure everything was perfect for my friend's birthday. From the music to the food everything was phenomenal! Will definitely be back P.S bartenders make all of their drinks with love so they taste amazing

Huge, nearly empty parking lot (Thursday 6pm) but there is 'must-use valet' service. Would not let me park my own car and wanted $10 to park it for me...in one of the many spots next to us. Are you joking!?! So did not go in and will never go in. These nonsensical 'policies' are what sinks what may be otherwise be good businesses. Good luck, you'll need it.

We came for a brunch but find out they don't even do brunch anymore. Had bday booked for 11am wasn't able to come in until 12p nobody is answering the phone when you try to call. Beautiful place but needs better management

The hottest club scene in Houston TX (Jan2024) It has been many years since I went to a club in Houston. Las Vegas has a similar feel but With this place, save yourself the airfare and commute. Simply incredible, the staff was so attentive and friendly. The uniforms of the staff were sexy and upscale. Knox took care of us at the main bar. Drinks were affordable and easy to get to. I know where to be moving forward on the weekends in Houston TX.

Came here on a weeknight evening and easily found parking. You can order at the bar, or the server will come to your table, but I found it to be on the slower side. I went with the pineapple upside-town martini, and I loved it! It was bright, refreshing, but not overly sweet. Their dirty martini is also good. They have an extensive selection of martinis, and I plan to return to try out more. I like their ambiance, with the huge chandelier. I hear the vibe is different on weekends though, so keep in mind this review is for weekdays.

No recomiendo este bar/ club. El ambiente es muy agradable y la decoración muy linda. Los colores de la decoración y pantallas de los TV inspiran a celebrar, lastimosamente la atención en la barra es pésima, después de mucho esperar logre conseguir 2 tragos. Con toda franqueza me dio sueño de tanto esperar. No creo volver aquí en el futuro!

This place is more of bar/club than it is for a place to dine at. If you're coming here for food I suggest going elsewhere. This place was advertised heavily on TikTok, I'll be skeptical when a suggestion is made on TikTok from now on-first mistake.. I came here dinner and we started off by ordering drinks. I was a little bit baffled at how patrons couldn't order a drink off of the breakfast drinks even though those specific liquors are available for purchase, but I let it go. We order mozzarella sticks for an appetizer, my friend order a panini, and I ordered a pizza. Besides the drinks, everything showed up right at the same time. Can't mess up mozzarella sticks, they were pretty good. My friend enjoyed her panini and the bottom of my pizza was burnt. I waited over 20 minutes for my waitress to come back and I end up waving someone else down to ask if my server was available. She asked if something was wrong and I tell her the bottom of my pizza was burnt and showed her the black bottom of my pizza. She takes the pizza away and I'm thinking my server would show up but she never did. Me and my friend finished our drinks and we're still waiting for our checks. I pop my head up to see where our waitress was and she's at another section talking to colleagues. She comes up and asks if I want another pizza and after waiting so long, way past 20 minutes at this point, drinks finished and all, no I don't want another pizza. I give her my card to pay, and come to find out she doesn't split the checks. This place has been open for only two months. It's beautiful inside and I bet it's an amazing place to party at on a Friday/Saturday night however the attentiveness of your servers lacked big time. She was nice don't get me wrong, but not paying attention to your table isn't good service. Because of my burnt pizza on the bottom and the lack of service I can't say I suggest coming here to dine. Two stars for the drinks-they were on point.

Been here about 3 times since they've opened and I always enjoy myself here. The place is huge and spacious inside and the drinks are good as well. I've only had the guacamole and the lemon and herb wings. Also, the bartenders are very attentive which will definitely keep me coming back. Can't wait until I have a weekend where I can bring some friends and share a bottle with because the prices are great there too.

The atmosphere has potential. They need a professional lighting director to make sure someone doesn't have a seizure as many of the cold white strobes are blinding and directly at eye level to those who are sitting at the bar. Just a few adjustments will make the light show fun and not annoying. The service is definitely lacking. It's like they are too busy putting out fires behind the scenes so customer interaction is minimal and far from upscale as they advertise their venue to be. The "food" is gross. I would rather a frozen pizza from Costco than the pig swill they serve here. They seem to be missing half of the ingredients on the menu. The valet is rude, unorganized, shady and illegally up charges for using a CC. They reprogrammed all of my seating/mirror settings in my car. They even turned off my automatic headlights! Honestly, with a dedicated parking lot, HS should just charge you to park your own car instead of that nonsense. Valet should be for convenience. There was nothing convenient about my experience with valet here especially when the parking was included in my party's reservation. After witnessing the bar manager telling the valet to not charge us, I was charged upon my exit. $22 which is an up charge for using a CC. No, they don't have proper signage for a cash discount, therefore, a CC up charge is illegal. Might I add, my party made up for the majority of customers inside HS. I don't think this business will last long if they continue treating people like this.

We've been here several to watch sports. They have a lot of TVs! Huge screens; not projectors. I'm not a fan of "bar food;" however, theirs are great! Best truffle fries; flatbreads & club sandwich! That's all we've had so far, but we'll back to try more at the next game! The bartenders are awesome! They're friendly and will remember your drink of choice!! Love it!!

Decided to give this new spot a visit for meet up with friends to catch the UH game. Dropped in Saturday night 6pm. Parking: $10 Self-parking behind the building . $20 Valet parking. Some of our guests were charged $30 - absolutely ridiculous for street parking. For this alone, we will not be back. Venue - nice aesthetic. Walk-in. Self seating. Flag a bar server or you can order at the bar Music - Music played excessively loud. For the ride home, I needed complete silence. Drinks - cocktails $16+ nothing fancy. My go to cocktails were not good at all. Draft and bottled beer not cold. Food - mediocre Service - unpredictable. They either forgot our food or drink order or wasn't sure where to deliver. Cute spot just not for my age bracket.

DJ Eric was awesome on Saturday! We bar hopped and this was the best place with the best music

The ambiance is cool. It is a hip vibe and has beautiful Crystal chandeliers. There are areas set up to be roped off as reserved with bottle service. But don't come for the Caesar salad. It was disgusting-part of the lettuce was brown and they did not even take the time to trim it. I'll provide pictures so you get the idea. And they have valet... AT $20! What? This is in the middle of heights bars, not an Astros game! Crazy. Been there, won't be back.

Very cool, upscale bar to hang-out at. On the weekend it gets crazy packed, but the energy here is welcoming for being in the heights.

Wow, I have never been so discriminated against in Houston until I walked into this establishment. Me and my group were told to leave the building after we are allowed into the building and ordered a drink spending over $100 then told to leave due to our dress code because some people were wearing Denim even though we are allowed in by the bouncers, also discriminated against due to the fact that we were wearing LGBTQ plus clothing. This is absolutely ridiculous and ashamed to be happening in 2023. I would highly recommend that no one visit this establishment.

I wish I could give zero stars but I have to give at least 1 Most raciest place I've been to in my life. Some of my classmates were meeting there after our 35th class reunion we walked and the guy behind the bar and the two bottle girls were standing. There didn't greet us as we walked and I had to ask them if we seat ourselves or how does it work? There was a large section behind us, and I asked if can we can sit there? We were told that we could mind you it was only three of us at that time when they realized more of us(Blacks) were coming in all of a sudden they told us that that section was reserved and that the group would be coming in at 10 well it was 1045 and nobody showed up then they changed it and said it turns into a club, and that we were not dressed appropriately for the club most of us had jeans on and our reunion shirts.. several people of the races had on T-shirts and shorts. Some girls had on flip-flops but they were fine. There is a section outside and we asked if we could sit out there on the patio and they said after certain time it gets really packed so people will just randomly come over to where we would be sitting at and they wouldn't advise it. I would never recommend this place if you are a black African-American, they totally discriminated against us.

Cool scene with nice vibes. I didn't try the food but the drinks were on point. Also they made sure that drink cups were cleared from the area.

I looooove it here & Shane is sooo nice and so helpful!!!!! They go above and beyond to make sure you have a great time. Love you Shane!!!!!

Cool place but door is strict and the bottle girls are rude as heck, will push you out of the way very aggressively.

The place is very beautiful and elegant but we had such a big problem with our drinks. For a nice establishment they have pineapple juice in the gun which that is not good pineapple juice it is sugary and syrupy than normal pineapple juice. They also have premade drinks such as margarita on tap and another cocktail on tap. A friend ordered a skinny Margarita and was given beer in a glass we ice, a Paloma made with pure sparkling water. Both did not have tequila in them. Another friend got charge $25 for one tequila drink which is supposed to be ($7), but she got it taken care of by the manager who gave her shots to make up the mistake because they couldn't find her transaction on the computer. But she still seemed like she payed for them because her tab was 25$ instead of 7$. So technically there was no refunded. The manager was aware of my friends drinks who physically made their drinks herself and they were way better. We appreciated the manager last night because before her intervening this place was not the best.

YIKES. Went opening week on Thursday. Have been waiting for this place to open for sometime now. The place itself is beautiful and has great potential. However, overall it was a huge disappointment. It was extremely slow our waitress brought us menus and never came back.... After waiting for 30 minutes trying to get service we went to the bar to order two drinks. We had every intention on ordering food as well but after the drinks...... we went else where. Ordered their "signature" espresso martini and the pineapple martini and both were extremely disappointing. For 15+ dollars a drink, it's a no. Espresso martini had no presentation and tasted like thick coffee in a martini glass. The pineapple whatever martini had what I believe to be a dried pineapple on the glass but reassembled a shriveled up butthole. Drinks were not refreshing. You would think opening week would be superb. This place has its work cut out for it.

We have been twice now on a Sunday and received excellent service from the bartender Dillon! Brand new, clean, spacious and great music. Have not tried the food yet but Dillon serves tasty drinks. Great addition to the area. We will be back!

The only place on that street that has the door guy taking his job way too serious. I got in fine at other establishments in the area and spent money no problem but when I got to heights social I was greeted by a Brock Lesnar wannabe saying I can't get in because my jeans had rips in them. Chill out Thanos ,it's a Wednesday. I Would never spend a dime in that filth.

My recent birthday celebration at Heights Social was an absolute delight, and I owe it all to Jenna, the manager who went above and beyond to make the experience extraordinary. With a group of 15 people, the team at Heights social attention to detail and personalized service made my special day truly unforgettable. Heights Social boasts an electrifying nightlife atmosphere! The carefully curated ambiance created an instant party vibe. To say that my birthday celebration at Heights Social was unforgettable would be an understatement. The team at Heights social with their infectious energy, and unwavering attention to detail turned an ordinary night into a sensational party experience. If you're looking for a venue that knows how to throw a celebration like no other, with Jenna at the helm, Heights Social is a great destination for a night of nonstop VIBES!

I came for my bday! It was perfect. Carlos was awesome. The ambiance is perfect! Very grown and sexy!

First of all the place is really beautiful very classy...but the question is is it a really nice bar/club or fancy sports bar it's confusing. Decorated like a beautiful club and then you ruin that beauty by adding a ton of huge ass tvs...bright like a football field ruins the ambiance completely. When does a beautiful club need that many tvs seriously. Especially the two that cover a whole wall..over done. There are plenty of sports bars right next door..why put the money into the classy interior and then put a million tvs...it could be a fun club/ bar experience but that many tvs are just giving people a headache. Nobody goes to a club to watch sports. The food just ok no thrill...service ok ..not especially friendly.

My boyfriend and I visited this spot and they didn't even let me in with Tory Burch sandals. If you are not of a certain "image", they won't let you in. Keep that in mind!

Over rated, service isn't great and they're terrible with moving the lines. There parking lot gets packed quick get there early if you don't feel like waiting an hour to get in.

Food is killer! Wings were amazing. Drinks are fairly priced and the bottle service menu also. We sat ourselves and the service was pretty quick. We were worried reading previous reviews. This spot as obviously stepped their game up from the grand open. Would recommend this spot if you're looking for some good food and drinks.

Carlos was amazing so were the bartender very attentive. Venue was emasculate and food was really good.

New favorite spot in the heights! The new owners have made this spot even better & the new menu is so yummy. the place is buzzing!

The place is great. Dylan Minor knows how to take of his clients. We have enjoyed the food, the drinks and the Ambiance. Nice to have a classier spot in the area, if you have not been go check it out. I have recommended this place to my Alumni Association to use for all watch parties and coaches show .

THE MOST HORRIBLE AND EMBARRASING EXPERIENCE EVER! I visited this place with a friend for her birthday, she had planned this for a little more than a week and made her reservations through a waitress name Jordan via text message. They discussed pricing, where she would like to sit, specific bottles, HBD sign, etc. Upon our arrival to the establishment we were informed very rudely that the arrangements that Jordan made were bogus and they would not at all be honoring the agreement. We requested a manager and were approached by Zack who was rude and matter of fact. He offered no options - apparently the section was much more than promised and didn't at least offer that we pay the increase amount as money was no object. This was very embarrassing to say the least, my friend had invited several guests and at this point did not want to patronize this business. It was fight night and left us with very limited options as to where to go AND we would not be be able to watch the fight as we planned. Although after all the embarrassment and being treated second class Jeannie sent us over to a sister location where we were able to at least have a place for the large group, I WILL NEVER PATRONIZE THIS ESTABLISHMENT AGAIN. Zack was supposedly the GM he had no tact, was rude, matter of fact, was not willing to honor the word of their employee and treated us as though we should know their policies - he took 0 ownership and repeated several times how he would "help us out" offering items that we were already expecting to pay for. This kid should not be a manager! I appreciated Jeannie for finding us a place to have the party but we missed the fight and this caused so much grief for my friend on her birthday - no person should have to experience what we did Saturday night. Zero stars, would not recommend!

This is my newest obsession, incredible food and drinks! The DJ was so good too! Definitely is my new go-to spot in the Heights whenever im out with my friends.

The Heights Social is a vibe! We recently visited on Cinco De Mayo and the atmosphere was everything. I enjoyed the Brussels sprouts and margarita pizza.

I used to love this place for a classier, laidback "club" scene walking distance from the heights patio bars, but I guess a popular club franchise in Houston bought them out and now it's just like all of the other ratchet Washington clubs. Disappointed and won't be back.

Beautiful interior and great music. Plenty of parking for such a busy area behind the venue.

Had an amazing experience here! Me and my friends decided to come check it out on a Saturday night and the ambiance was beautiful, great vibes, amazing music. Definitely will be back!

Came here off of a whim and ended up having a really good time! Great food and even better atmosphere. I enjoyed the music and the ambiance was very intriguing. Would definitely recommend this spot for Wednesday and the weekend !

This place is absolutely stunning !! Best place if you're looking to get out on a Wednesday or on the Weekend.

The food here is terrible. Please do not waste your time. Service is not great at least there's some ambiance.

The decor looks like it was scrapped from leftovers from a hospital remodel. Don't get the vibe. $8 self parking during the afternoon on a Saturday. Seems like the investors are just hoping on getting runoff from the other bars next door. Vodka soda was fine.
