Wonder Bar

Super cute and unique environment. The ice bar is so rejuvenating after walking in the humidity. It was pretty dead when we went, but it seems like it would be fun if it’s lit.

Cool spot to have fun with friends and take fun pictures! mixed crowd, 21+, DJ Rocko gets down! Fun drinks, (pricey and not strong) gets packed after 10pm. Had a blast with the girls! By the way got in with chuck Taylors

Had read about this place and had been wanting to go there for a while now. Since I was visiting again I decided to check the place out. Went early and got to take advantage of the different photo ops they offer. Ordered a Cape Cod for $10 which honestly doesn't seem too bad for me because I figure that's what I'd probably pay from where I live. They also offer their specialty menu with higher prices. Only saw 2 staff when I went. The one outside who didn't really exchange many words and the bartender who let us be and explore the place until we actually went up to order.

This lady picturedis not friendly at all. Nobgreetin.. just.. what do u wzntt.. ids please.. the patron drink i got was disgusting. Super tick.. oddly. So i order another dring.. a lemon drop .. literally a cm worth of drink.. ive bartended before and those measurments were offff. I told her i didnt want it and she said GET OUT. Yall this is not a black friendly environment

I would love to say that I had a wonderful experience at this place. However, it was not that the lady at the bar was very rude. She would not allow us to even look at the place. She demanded our RDs after we obliged. She would not let us view the venue she stated that in order to walk around, we had to buy a drink or get out.. Not African American friendly at all. It’s disheartening that this is the face of the bar. It’s 2025 if you don’t want black people in your establishment put a sign up

Came on 6/28 to celebrate a Bach trip because we have heard such good things about the bar! The bar did not open at 3pm like stated on the website, but we waited at a nearby bar and went in as soon as it opened. we were met with a very rude bartender who served us a mixed drink with a dead fly in it! Once we pointed the dead fly out, the bartender rudely snatched the drink from us and made another drink in the same dirty cup. There are not many photo ops, but the 3 photo ops that they actually do have are good quality. Overall, I would not come back again. Rude employees, expensive drinks (with dirt, bugs, etc. in them), and falsy advertised photo ops!

A fun, playful place to stop for a few drinks & take some fun photos! Energetic atmosphere with unique photo ops. It's a fun place to create content and take unique photos solo or with a group. Staff was kind, made drinks quickly and showed us some fun, hidden details about the bar.

Stopped by this weekend for what I thought would be a cool place to hangout. Upon walking in the bartender immediately asked for our IDs, I complied even though I hadn’t ordered a drink and showed her my id as it’s obviously an over 21 establishment. The bartender then asks what’re you drinking? I said nothing right now, we want to take a look around first. She then told us that we had to all buy drinks in order to be in their building. “We’re a bar and have to make money” is what she told me. Incredibly rude and unprofessional. We left immediately after.

I love this place great vibes, music, drinks and cool atmosphere. I would definitely go back.

only for pictures, the service from the entrance to the bar is horrible. is a big no if you want to have a good time and btw is dirty all around ...

Early Saturday before the crowd started to build I popped in to have a look around. It's like where Willy Wonka goes to get drunk and have an acid trip. There a lot to grab your attention from games , yetis, and a drink wheel to spin. Everyone was happy and enjoying the great decor. If you dare make sure to push on the Mona Lisa painting.

What a whimsical place. This place is named what it is for a reason. It's definitely an eclectic place from the decor, the drinks, and the music. I got the disco ball drink it was fruity and delicious. I also tried the patron drink that was sweet but had a bite. I imagine you won't need more than 2 of those to have a good time. It had so many photo opps, and although crowded, it's super spacious. Whether you're 22 or 52, you will have a good time here.

This bar is super cute and a lot of fun. I love the different photograph, Instagram options, especially if you are into social media! The drinks were really great too! I wish the big wheel of fortune was not $11 to spin though All customers are able to spend the wheel without having to pay the $11.

Went here for my birthday! It was really cute and instagram worthy. I Wouldn't say that it's a place that you would go for an entire night but it's definitely good to spend about 30 mins - 1 hour. I dont think I even ordered a drink.

The drinks are eye catching and good. They have so much to do here like swings outside, and a bunch other selfie spots. Service was quick, definitely recommend

**Review based on an early visit on a weekday** I arrived right at opening, hours on Yelp were wrong so I waited about 30 min or so before I went in. The phone number on their website is also wrong so I was really unclear when opening was, that needs to be updated. Judging by the reviews I was a little hesitant to come but I wasn't coming for the night club vibes. Just wanted to enjoy a fun cocktail and take some pics which is exactly what I did. My husband and I were 2 of 3 people in the bar not including bartender, lol. We stayed for almost an hour. Drinks tasted decent and I got a lot of fun pics. It was exactly what I was looking for/wanted to do so it was a good time.

We had a really poor experience here. The bar's parking lot charges $10 for self parking. The staff made us wait 20 minutes after opening time to enter the bar. The bartender was incredibly rude to us. The table areas were dirty and sticky. The drinks are overpriced. Not worth the hype and won't return here.

I don't know what they're trying to achieve here, but "fun" isn't it. Starting with the little boy at the door on Friday night (4/5), his attitude was so bad, he barely made eye contact, didn't say "hello" or anything, just "IDs", then seemed "concerned" about a friend in our group, why? Because he was laughing loudly.....that's it....dude, seriously?? Especially when there's only 5 people in the place at 10pm. Midtown bars are notoriously douchy & racist white super young dudes at the door who act like they work for the CIA or something. Just skip this entire block & go elsewhere in the city.

Fun place to get a drink and chill out. Lots of instagrams for your social media pics opportunities. Drink prices are actually decent for a bar like this. ($10-$15) Since this is the Christmas season they put out a lot of Xmas decorations to bring up the spirit.

I love the Wonder Bar!! It's one of my top bars. They have fabulous tasting drinks in cute and festive glasses, great music, many different areas/rooms with different decor and lots of photo opportunities. Great service and it's always hopping with a diverse crowd.

First off i was there 2/21/24 and the bouncer was so mf rude and his breath stunk like a smelly sewer. Dear bouncer , u can't be rude to customers and have stank breathe. I almost gave him a piece of gum with my ID. Smh . Beware of the tall white guy at the door . The owner needs to check on him bc he's gonna lose customers due to the bouncer not wanting to be there and taking it out on random ppl. It's not nobody's fault that he prob makes $60 a night doing a job a 12 year old can do.

Was not aloud to enter by staff for no valid reason. Which is really sad since they had so little customers attending.

This is a Cool bar in midtown to check out if you're in the area. Go take a few photos and find the secret doors. Check out the ice bar and then go check out another bar. Ambiance is great.

My friend and I came here for the Christmas exhibit and had a good time. It started off kind of rocky as the bartender told us their computer system was down and they only accepted cash but a few minutes later, they were up and running. This place will probably be a holiday tradition for my friend and I as we loved all of the photos ops they had. The drinks were festive, but not strong, and when we went, it wasn't crowded at all. The only downside is parking and they have no food. You have to find parking on the street or pay for parking behind the establishment. Would definitely return for their holiday experience.

Had a great time!! My future daughter in law bachelorette party!! Great ambiance and drinks!!

This place was so cute! My first time and I brought a friend. The giant was the perfect backdrop for my Christmas spirits . The music was fun and the pics are abundant. Definitely love the themes and can't wait to see what they have next. The restrooms could have definitely been cleaner, but it's a bar at the end of the day. Overall, great time none the less.

Such a fun place for photos. Different areas of the bar has different themes. Our favorite was definitely the ice room which has its own little bar in it. They also have the wheel of fortune thing that you pay $11 for a spin and you can win different kinds of specialty drinks or a high five from the bartender. There is also a small dance floor but I would say the kind of music being played when I went wasn't exactly clubbing music, still fun none the less. They also have very fun drinks such as living my best life or living my normal life and the disco ball. They come in little patron bottles or little disco bottles. You can't bring the bottles home though unfortunately.

Such a cute place! Very instagrammable with different rooms/spaces to explore. We spin the wheel and won prizes and got a mixed shit that was very sugary and didn't sit well with my friend but was still cute! They have a speak easy, swings, and May other things to do. I've seen it get very packed so it was nice that there was only 10 or so ppl the Sunday we went so we really got to explore. We didn't try any real cocktails so that's the reason I'm not giving 5 but the bartenders were awesome and even did a bubble machine for our pics! Definitely check them out!

Something different, decided we'd give it a go since someone mentioned it as a bar to check out on our trip to Houston. The atmosphere was cool and with the decor you'd think you're about to get yourself into some shit! But it was very mediocre. The best thing about the place is the drinks. They certainly want you to drink and get fully inebriated. But if you looking for a fun, eclectic bar, check them out.

If you want to have a comfortable yet fulfilling experience, come at 8:00 p.m. please. One question.. why such low ratings?!!! What the hell!? Yes, $14 a drink and the reason I couldn't give this gem a solid 5 stars. Not only overcharging for drinks, but they mostly get you on the visual experience. A fabulous disco ball shaped drink... who wouldn't want to chime in on the debauchery?! I am apart of those who are guilty. YOU JUST HAVE TO! I ordered the disco ball ( bows head in shame) and ordered "two in the sink". Both didn't do much to me... Super light... Wouldn't recommend if you are trying to order something strong to have "one of those nights!". As for the bar and visual stimulation... 10 out of 10!!!! What a jaw dropper. A total "experience" without being a pop up bar. Insta pics for days, smashing ambience, wild vibes and just a cool place to be. Besides the outrageous cost of drinks, I definitely recommend for a fun and vibrant gathering. Awesome music too.. Bravo Mr. DJ!

Smells terrible. Very instagrammable. Excellent lighting. Needs repairs. Has potential! The reviews were quite accurate, minus the attire check. Perhaps that's a weekend thing. We entered on a Tuesday with no one at the door, no one approaching us. I didn't know they served food...we saw ppl eating. I couldn't eat in that smelly environment but for you who desire it, you may actually find a food menu there. The props need repairs...messes up your photo opp. Follow me on IG @msyayae. The swings were broken or ripped. I tried to cover it. Go get your pics! Hopefully they get some plugins soon. :)

Okay I liked this place a lot and I want to give it 5 starts but as a photographer I couldn't bring my camera inside so that was pretty sad cause they have badass themes. Drinks are always amazing, bartenders are super nice and they have a cool ice bar, themes for the season and they're in a hip spot to be. This place is fun for selfies, a night out with friends or bar hopping.

Service was absolutely horrible. The manager is racist. The ambiance is not forgiving. We didn't get an opportunity to try the food because we were denied entry because we are of African American decent. I don it recommend.

Wonderbar is one of the most unique bars I've been to. They have an $11 spin-and-win game featuring prizes such as apparel to drinks - super fun experience. There is also a hidden hallway with photo op and other easter eggs such as an ice bar and statue-embedded camera! Their music here is off the hook and perfect for a night out for those in their 20's and 30's. The interior decor was fresh and just walking around the place was entertaining, not to mention it was a fully operational bar / dance floor. I was only in town for a short week and found this place so fun I came back a second time! Overall, the decorations, vibes, and music make me look forward to visiting Wonderbar during my next trip to Houston.

We had a lot of fun during our visit. It was a Saturday and during the day so it wasn't too crowded but there were still plenty of groups visiting all the "Instagram" spots. The staff were always in on the fun and ensured we did as well. The drinks were great and the music was good!

Went to this bar for the aesthetics of selfies offered at the establishment and was met with racial discrimination from a Black bouncer who said I couldn't enter the establishment because I was wearing Jordans. After seeing us about to walk away he said "Well I could let you in. You don't look like you cause trouble". I had no issue with this until as soon as we walked into the establishment we saw white men wearing Jordan's. As we left, we approached the bouncer and told him that he had white people in there wearing forces and Jordan's so he should hold that rule for everyone. He proceeded to then threaten me and scream at me and my friends claiming that because he was darker than me that I wasn't even black so it didn't matter. He then threatened me that he would "slap my stupid *ss for being ignorant". Told us he "did us a favorite for our dumb*sses". Then told me that because I'm light skinned, I'm not even black and to "shut the f*ck up". I will never go to this place again. There seem to be multiple reviews and incidents with this bouncer and bar. I will not be going here again and recommend that anyone that does not want to be racially discriminated go here. If I could put 0/5 I would.

I'm just came from a PUB crawl with another dog friendly business, and was Denied access with my service dog, when you asked to talk to a manager, I was deny that also. I'm drove 2 hours for this prearranged dog friendly event. Will never give good feedback, and will connect the BBB .. I called this Establishment several times, and no one would answer the phone. ! You can search this Business further by connecting the BBB ... the stars for this Businessis a Zero ... I will update if this situation is resolved.

Some friends and I dropped in one night while doing a bar crawl. The atmosphere is awesome! The inside decor makes it a fun selfie experience. I love it. Drinks are great. The vibe is cool from everyone. I wasn't impressed with the guy at the door I picked up ugly arrogant vibes but other than him for a brief moment all went well.

While in Houston, we were in search of some unique experiences that would could get back home in Baltimore. My friend find Wonder Bar in TikTok, so we stopped in to give them a try. The decor is really cool but the bar was definitely all hype. There wasn't really much to do there by sit and drink. The pictures online really made it seem like there were many different activities to do within the building, but there weren't. The drink were just ok and definitely overpriced.

Drinks are strong and cheap buttt I'm pretty sure they're racist here. They don't allow Jordan's? Like the shoes? Like I saw people dressed like shit in there but they turned away multiple really nicely dressed men because they had Jordan's on. It's very obvious what that rules trying to do won't be back just off the principal idc if I wasn't discriminated against babes I saw it happen. Y'all aren't slick.

Wow. I didn't know homophobic places were still up and running. Very sad and disappointed by this. My friend was cross dressed and they wouldn't let them in.

We came at 3:57 pm because WonderBar was scheduled to open at 4:00 pm. We sat outside for a couple minutes (with staff passing us by). When we attempted to enter at 4:00 pm, we were told by a male "we aren't open" and "the entrance is over there". When we told him it was 4:00, he Unapologetically responded "yeah we won't be ready for 30-40 mins at best". We indicated that we had drove from a suburb 45 mins away, and asked if we could just take pics and not order. He still unapologetically insisted it would be a minimum of 30-40 mins. Mind you, we had already paid to park after our 45 min commute. This was super unprofessional, and I'm very disappointed! We asked this guy for a business card for follow up, and of course he didn't have one. He was still super engaged on his phone and offered no reasoning or real customer service resolution. He claimed his name was Kendall.

The best experience!! Maddie and Emrie were great hosts! We would definitely come back! They made our visit so welcoming!

This was on my list of places to come to for my trip. It's a cute place to take photos. The drink that I had was okay.

A very fun place . Excellent music and staff but drinks are pricey . The decor was setup for July 4th I have been before where it was decorated for Halloween and that was the best ..

Just avoid this spot. The concept sounds like a lot of fun, but definitely overhyped. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt it was an off night but barstaff is a direct correlation of how they handle packed nights or weekends. It was really shady when I asked for an itemized receipt after I saw what they were charging. The girl was really hesitant to give me one and kept coming up with a million excuses. I know how a POS system works and told her it was doable. She ended up just reprinting the same ticket and played dumb. It was for two domestic beers but for $24 that makes no damn sense. I might've had some drinks in me but I'm not stupid. Really sketchy practices and not a place I'd recommend. Music was decent though. This is a money grabbing place...

So I actually visited this bar before seeing the reviews I know I know an elite yelper #1 sin! But I am stuck in the middle! So I had no issues but I see what some people are saying about the dress code situation. On google the dress code says casual I saw people there in white T-shirts but then they don't let some people in it's very odd an selective. First off if you want to enjoy and take photos and not be swarmed in a crowd you need to be there at around 7:30-8 pm so ladies start the make up routing at 10am to be on time. All drinks are like $13 each not awful but not cheap either. I won't complain because they are cute but I swear the mini patron bottle was 70% ice 30% actual drink. We however did have fun with the interactive decor like swinging on bananas, riding giant eggplants, and swimming with the duck a real childhood dream come true. If you are just looking to have fun and take pictures you will enjoy it if you arrive before the 8:30-Midnight crowd. When we left at 12 you couldn't even walk out of the place and the line outside was to the stop sign. I think it's a really fun concept and it's a must try at least once!

I knew coming in this place probably wouldn't be my cup of tea, but sometimes I just have to follow along. This is one of those places you go for photo ops for the 'gram. It was too crowded for my liking, barely room to walk. Getting a drink was an adventure in itself. You stand around a circular bar in the middle of the establishment and push your way to the front of the line and hope to get a bartenders attention. I will say the staff was friendly. The drinks were on par with Vegas prices, and I think they justify it by putting it in cool drinking vessels. We ordered the Disco Bull and it was very tasty. The place is definitely Instagramable with all kind of quirky decorations. They have hidden passages which were extremely packed. There were drinks being spilled left and right and once you are in, you have to go all the way through. I can see that as an accident waiting to happen. I was relieved to go outside and get some space after that. It could be that I am too old for a spot like this, nah I take that back, I AM too old for a spot like this. It is safe to say I won't be coming back here!

While Im not a drinker, I purely visited for the experience of the place so I can't talk about the quality of the drinks. The place however smell bad, all the photos online look great but definitely need to visit during the day to get good lighting, inside area to dark for instagram photos. Place need to be repair, while there staff tried fixing the "candle" on the cake display but gave up, so incomplete display, hidden room full of scratches need to be repainted, out area banana swings are broke, big cloud bed swing fabric is torn, I believe this place is fairly new so is already trashed. Won't recommend.

I came here with two gfs for a night out and I think it was still early but the vibe was not it. The drinks too weren't good either. This place really is only good for IG worthy pictures.

Very cute place with a lot of selfie Opportunities!!! Which is great because that's what a lot of people look for when they go out. They had really good drinks and I'm not a big fan of alcohol. They had different things to do inside and outside and various seating all around. Very fun atmosphere.

Must check out if visiting Houston! Went with a few friends & even the guys loved it. Very much an instagrammable bar.. your average downtown bar drink quality/prices. Dj was playing great music but all techno mixes of songs only, but I guess that kind of matches the vibe. Their are hidden rooms so make sure you check those out! Such a fun vibe- wish we had something like this in New Orleans. SN: I will say there was a white guy with longer hair and lots of tattoos that worked there in some capacity that I saw yell at two groups of people twice. Once for vaping (I get it) but the other was a couple who was standing outside on the patio and he yelled at them to move and asked if they were going inside or outside?? They made eye contact with me right next to them almost as like "can you validate that was random/rude?" & before they even said anything I was like wow, rude.. yeah no y'all did nothing wrong.

I've come to this bar so many times. I only went for the photographic walls, but besides that the drinks and music were never good. But looking past that I still didn't mind going until they decided to not let my boyfriend in because of "dress code" due to his shirt being sleeveless which I would completely understand if it wasn't a Thursday night and white people weren't coming out in khaki shorts, baseball caps and non- brand sneakers. Why do I mention race ? Well my boyfriend is physically obviously not white and yet the dress code him, but not any of the white people coming in and out including the bouncer who made this decision wearing a baseball cap and zip up sweater. Very disappointing that in a city so diverse as Houston we're still dealing with this in 2022.

Stopped by for Sunday fun day around 7 pm. It was not busy, but it was great because I got to take all the photos I wanted! Everything is psychedelic, trippy, colorful, and great for THE GRAM!

We had a killer time here. We started out classy with mimosas in wine glasses for brunch else where. We ordered more Champagne bottles than we could finish. By the time we arrived at Wonder Bar the debauchery was out of control. Our group was at least a party of ten, ranging in ages of 21 - 43! I don't recall the staff, but on the same note, I don't recall any of us being disgruntled with the service. I say, it's safe to say, they were A Okay. They had almost everything: A private room to ride the *insert eggplant emoji* all you want. Also for your riding pleasure B-A-N-A-N-A-S, smaller than I imagined but still fun! If you're not into that, the Wonder Bar Unicorn, or a Space ship on the way to help an Astronaut find Uranus. You can have some fun with Michelangelo's David. Not the most discreet fellow, but how many gentleman are still out there anyways? Bring your own dirty Jokes. The only thing missing is the Straight to Hell button. The drinks are cool, by this time they could have given me water and I would have chased it with lime. The containers they are poured into made me say "oooooh I want one of those!" Two memorable options are the disco balls and mini Patron bottles. No you can't take them home. The price range for the area isn't too bad considering this place is new and packed. We had friends there on Friday and Saturday that said you could barely move through the crowd. Sunday seemed relaxed. There was time to capture those fun pictures to collect them likes. Everyone is dressed in their version of dressed to impress. I felt under-dressed compared to some of the outfits. Frankly, this girl had so much fun, I'm dreaming about that "In Your Dreams" Cloud bed swing. Ladies, put on your high heels, Fellas accept our dirty deals, and come make your own tales of deviance, it will be fun!

Nice vibes, fun place for cool photos, and the staffs were very attentive! I really enjoyed the drinks, music & of course my mini photoshoot.

Fair warning for males who wear women's clothing! They have a "dress code" and even if your pronouns are she/ her they will dress code you as a male. My friend who is male, had a tank top that said daddy's girl and a purse because that the stuff he always wears got denied entry. He pointed out that females were wearing tanks (me included) and the bouncer and Id guy said no entry. We had a group of 8... so yea I would say go somewhere a little more lgbt friendly if this applies to you. They tend to be more fun anyway.

I had so much fun at the Wonder Bar, it's like a small club with photo installations. The drink menu had some cute disco balls & patrón looking plastic containers that looked super cute. The best thing for me tho was all the photo opps, although it gets packed & I got there at 11p I was able to take photos because people weren't hogging up the installations.
