    I had been wanting to try this place for awhile and finally made it. I enjoyed the atmosphere. The drinks were good. They have a nice happy hour. If you wear a hawaiian shirt you get happy hour all night. The only downside is that they do not serve any food or have any food trucks on site. Parking is also extremely limited. There are only a few parking spots. I would go back and and I would definitely recommend this place to friends to check out.

    Great neighborhood bar. Just wish they had parking and the inside was a bit bigger and it can be hard to find seating. Staff was all friendly and it's pretty cool inside. Both indoor and outdoor areas.

    Hole in wall bar that’s friendly cozy & inviting. Fills up quick & you could be outside waiting next to the little Hawaii wall before you try one of their great drinks. Cheers

    I go here all the time and have gone nearly weekly over the past few months and it never disappoints. Favorite drinks here are the Barrel of Rum and the Astro Ahu Ahu along with the Zombie and Mai Tai and Navy Grog. The bartenders are all great! Favorite spot to go in H-Town!

    Cool Tikki bar design. Cool atmosphere. Decent cocktails - basically just rum. I liked the custom mugs for cocktails. I had the Zombie this time Interesting location - pretty remote parking lot with a convenience store and a fully black wall - you wouldn’t suspect that behind the thin door is a different world. And an additional star for allowing dogs :)

    Such a fun place! Delicious drinks made with real fruit and handmade syrups. No fake mixers here. Fun decor and super friendly staff, this is our favorite, local bar.

    Would recommend to anyone who likes tiki. Drinks were tasty, staff was helpful, ambiance and decor were great. Pretty small so you might have issues being seated as a large party on a Friday or Saturday but our party of 2 was seated quickly even at peak hours.

    Lei low is an experience that everyone should go to at least once or twice lol the drinks are delicious and come in very unique glass ware depending on the drink. Parking is an issue the lot is small and the surrounding areas are residential so get there early also seating is limited but they have a back patio. All the drinks the night I went had to be placed at the bar then they got delivered but it was an amazing experience the drinks were strong and the staff was super friendly so I recommend checking it out

    Love this bar! The atmosphere, decorations, and people are so fun. It's the perfect escape and an easy place for the time to slip (or sip!?) away with friends. The bartenders are super knowledgeable and friendly and the drink menu has something for everyone. If you don't see something you like they can make you something off menu too (including excellent mocktails for anyone who might not want alcohol). I've never been a big bar person but this is a place I visit regularly and really enjoy. The only downside is parking in their lot is a little limited but there is street parking in the adjacent neighborhood or you can always Uber if you want to get schwifty 😅

    Lei Low is such a great tiki bar. It’s a mix of neighborhood bar and a transport to paradise. Located next to a convenience store, looks like an unoccupied space, don’t blink or you’ll miss it. Once inside, you’re immediately greeted with traditional tiki decor and bartenders ready make your perfect tiki drink. The vibe is fun and the music is great. It’s very busy on weekend nights, traffic is directed to the back patio to wait anywhere from 30-40 minutes. Drinks can be ordered and taken to the patio. The drinks are fun, there is something for everyone. Tiki drinks are served in tiki mugs. My favorite is Barefoot in the Sand- it’s delicious if you love banana. Lei Low is definitely a must visit for tiki fans!

    The cocktail menu is stocked with all the tiki bar classics prepared and presented beautifully and perfectly from the mix to the garnish. The atmosphere is a classic tiki bar with no corners cut and a new surprise around every corner. What truly makes them shine, however, is the service. Our bartender, John, truly made it a top notch experience. He was well versed in all the menu cocktails and many more unique treats, but was also attentive and thoughtful. While discussing my favorite rum with a friend, he brought it out without word needing to be said and made the experience unforgettable with his professionalism and relaxed, friendly attitude. I cannot compliment this place higher, I will be back and I will bring more friends.

    First time here. omg, the best place for a tropical paradise drink and vibe. Nice get away from home right around the corner from home. Caden was the absolute best bartender I have ever had in a long time. Drinks were amazing great flavor and delicious to the lips 💋. Great place to get away 🗿🥥

    #JoeFoodTour this bar is an incredible find, one of the few tiki bars with a wide array of rum cocktails for any connoisseur. You will be in the now, especially for out of town mixologists especially when they find out you're from Houston. Often times I get asked when I am in Austin and they find out from Houston, bartenders ask have you ever been to "Lei Low?" as one of the usual, secret, hidden jams, if you blink too fast, you will pass by your stop. Nestled in a small strip center, go with your guy and open the door. Definitely a fun time out. #HowdyFromHouston #ThePropertyJoes #LivingLifeInHouston #Heights #GreaterHeights 072014 202002 I had spam, kolaches and hot buttered banana rum.

    The only excellent tiki bar experience in Houston! The atmosphere was excellent given the space available, and was even decorated from floor to ceiling in TONS of Christmas lights and decor, which was overlaid on top of their already existing tiki bar decor. The service was outstanding and all of the staff were kind and helpful, even given that the bar was packed. We got in and couldn’t be sat immediately, so ordered a drink while waiting for a table to become available, as reservations aren’t accepted here. The drinks themselves were good! We had the Mai Tai, Painkiller, Sibling Rivalry, and one other seasonal drink. The Painkiller was certainly the best, but the Mai Tai was not a standout and probably would not order that again here. The ratios seem just a bit off. I really appreciate the custom Tiki mugs they have on offer as it’s a very nice touch for any proper tiki bar. Overall the drinks were a 4/5 for tiki bar standards but the experience was a 5/5. Worth going!

    Caden was splendid. Was very accurate to my drink preference and hit it on the nail. Best drinks I have had in a long time. Will return and recommend my friends. The atmosphere was chilled and welcoming. Had a 2008 shot 🥃 wow what a shot. Warms your bones...... in deed 😁😉

    One of the best themed bar experiences I've ever had. They have a fun drink menu with an equally fun vibe, which is only heightened by the nice servers who make sure everyone is welcome.

  • 5/5 Justin H. 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing tiki bar! I'm told all their delicious drinks are made with fresh ingredients. Cool crowd of folks. Seems to be somewhat of a hidden gem. You'd never know from the outside what you were about to walk into. If you wear a Hawaiian shirt, you get discounts on an array of drinks.

  • 5/5 Kate S. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a hidden treasure. Once you step through the (nondescript) door you are transported to an island far away. I have been here many times and have yet to have a mediocre drink. Bartenders are super sweet and knowledgeable. This is a place I would take visitors time and time again.

    4/5. Hawaiian/tropical themed bar with inside and patio seating. Drinks are quite sugary but service is great. Does get packed at night and may have to hang out on the patio until your table is ready. Drinks prices are $10+ which is to be expected. It’s location right next to a c-store and can be missed has there is no large sign pointing out this place and perhaps goes well with the name of the bar.

  • 5/5 Daniel Fiorillo (. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing bar with great drinks and atmosphere. Depending on when you go, you may experience a small wait but it is absolutely worth it. All the drinks are phenomenal and the bartenders are amazing. Need a recommendation? Ask! Priced right, strong, and tasty beverages.
