Reviews
Visited here last Saturday evening and while it was practically empty, with maybe 2 other patrons there was an overly obnoxious chick at the end of the bar (I’m guessing friends or coworker of the 2 male bartenders) she was just talking/yelling almost as if to draw attention to herself. Her loudness kinda killed the vibe of the place so we only had 1 and left.
The bartender was really cool and helpful though. I really liked this place otherwise and would definitely recommend it if you’re in the area for a good cocktail.
We ordered the “Snow on the beach” and “Brown derby” . Both were extremely tasty and well made.
Super cool bar in the heart of downtown. Industrial atmosphere. Amazing cocktails! Old fashioned was 👌🏼 also Hotel Nacionale recommended to try if you like gin.
The space has 2 floors with cool bar downstairs and more intimate tables upstairs.
Definitely on my list of great bars in HTX
We stopped by here on our way to the Blink-182 concert a few weekend back and we were NOT disappointed!
Our bartender was so polite. He greeted everyone that walked in the door, engaged in conversation with people sitting at the bar, answered my questions about drinks, then made the one I chose perfectly!
I love whiskey sours, but had NEVER had a Clarified Whiskey Sour… let me tell you.. GAME CHANGER. This place got me hooked and I’ll definitely be back!
Very knowledgeable bartenders who gave their time to share their experiences and expertise. We hadn’t seen this extensive of a bar collection in a while! Best old fashion I have ever had! Easy to walk to downtown and open late!
This is a very enthusiastic 4 stars. We walked to Reserve 101 after a concert at the Toyota Center. It is small-ish inside which is ok. There is no question the bourbon selection is one of the best in town. The prices are reasonable too compared to getting a coveted or rarer selection in fine dining restaurant. They also have an selection of traditional & modern cocktails as well as wine. The clarified bourbon sour was one of the best new cocktails I've tried in a long while. The service could be a bit slow but was more than friendly enough to make up for it. We will absolutely go back.
Great whiskey bar in downtown Houston! Nice selection of whiskey, bourbon, scotch and delicious cocktails. Atmosphere feels very inviting and relaxed. Definitely a place to visit if you wanna sample some of those hard to get bottles.
Nice bar across the House of Blues. The bartender was very friendly. I was able to order one of my favorite drinks that is not too common, The Last Word! Drink was fantastic! Prices are fair.
Fancy cocktail bar, excellent and creative service, with a good selection of drinks. Recommended!
