"This Harlow District Mexican restaurant and beer garden capitalizes on both fall and Houston’s love of the carajillo with a pumpkin-fueled version of this popular coffee cocktail. The seasonal Witch, Please! ($16) blends rum infused with roasted pumpkin seeds for a nutty flavor, homemade bergamot-vanilla liqueur, and coffee for a smooth and caffeinated kick. The pumpkin spice cold foam offers a creamy finish." - Brittany Britto Garley

"A beer garden and Tex-Mex restaurant in one, this new Montrose hangout guarantees a good time. Order some scallop ceviche and chips, guac, and salsa, while you ponder the drink menu, which sports at least a dozen frozen margaritas, all of which are made to order. The beer offerings span the likes of punchy sours, dark and malty sips, ciders, and IPAs, and the wine list is just as diverse. Then, dive into staples like tacos, tortas, and enchiladas." - Brittany Britto Garley

"Head to the Harlow District to enjoy a host of margaritas and Tex-Mex classics at this lush beer garden and restaurant, which is open until midnight Sunday through Thursday and until 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. Order beer from its tap room, and visit a separate area for freshly made frozen drinks and cocktails of your choice (More than 80 are on the menu). Fortunately, its lineup of tacos, enchiladas, ceviches, and smoked hatch chile queso can be ordered from anywhere in the restaurant." - Brittany Britto Garley, Sean Hekmat
