One Armed Scissor
Bar
👍👍 One Armed Scissor is a Tier One spot for any respectful and reasonable guest to enjoy great company and libations. The bartenders make amazing cocktails - I’m certainly quite picky about my Manhattans.
The environment is very friendly, laid back, and inclusive. Living downtown, this has quickly bec...

Swallow's Nest
Cocktail bar
😐 The concept is great, because it allows you to sit and pay as one group while ordering from any one of Finn Hall’s ten kitchens. Two complaints, which if addressed would raise my review:
1) The staff use iPads for taking orders, which would be nice if they didn’t freeze and significantly slow down t...

Bungalow
Steak house
🫤 Had reservations here for date night. 2 stars for the ambiance and our waiter. They give champagne when you first walk in, however we weren’t offered any. We had to wait for our table to be cleared and set, however there were no utensils or napkins there. We asked for both but only got utensils, no...

Foundation Room Houston
Lounge
👍👍 Went for the 1st Friday Caribbean Night and really enjoyed ourselves. Go earlier in the evening for a lounge-type experience. The later it gets, the wilder it gets, not dangerous wild, just young wild and more crowded. Crowd was very diverse, as reggae lovers span a spectrum of people. Foundation Ro...

Bandista
Lounge
😠 Great social media marketing for a “speakeasy” but if you like the speakeasy concept this is not your place. The place is so small (maybe it was a storage room converted into a “bar” with few couches and chairs). The service wasn’t the best, killed my drinking mode when I have to get up and look aro...
