    Whiskey, beer, and tacos—you really only need to excel at one component of this holy trinity to survive in Houston, but somehow this Agricole Hospitality number manages all three at both its OG Heights locale and newer, bigger space in the East End. Hit either to find its 100+ selections of whiskey, including proprietary barrels of bourbon hand-selected by beverage director Morgan Weber. Sip house Old Fashioneds and Green Chile Ranchwaters, play games of ring toss for prizes, and fuel up with superior eats from Berkshire carnitas tacos to Sonora dogs that pair perfectly with house margs. And if you’re over in EaDo, also check out sibling establishment and breezy cocktail emporium Miss Carousel, where the vibe is domestic-chic, the drinks are seriously tasty, and the patio space leaves picturesque nights wanting for nothing.

    JULEP

    Julep is a classic cocktail bar highlighting the global flavors of our city and the cultures and experiences of our staff. 

    Our dedication to quality and style has landed us a James Beard Award for Outstanding Bar Program and a spot among North America’s 50 Best Bars in 2022, but it’s our dedication to our customers that has kept us in the hearts of Houstonians for almost a decade. Grab a seat in our intimate bar or cozy up in the parlor with a hand-crafted drink and snacks from our expertly curated menu–you’re welcome here. Housed in an industrial, 1880s-era uniform factory and making Houstonians swoon since 2014, this Southern charmer creates masterful odes to the bar’s namesake drink. We’d be satisfied if they stopped there, but bourbon boss Alba Huerta ups the game with a flourish of back porch inspirations that read like a history book of the South—bold Sazeracs, Creole rums, and seasonally refreshed cocktails like the zucchini vodka and walnut oil-kissed Boomslang. Though it’s been around for nearly a decade, Julep’s fast become a timeless Houston institution.

    We are a tiny Tiki Oasis in the heart of Htown. Paradise awaits!

    At Lei Low, a tiki bar in the Heights, paradise awaits, or at least a bar back with every kind of rum you could imagine. The tiny space, decked out with grass cloth, palm trees, and tropical tchotchkes galore, serves up some seriously potent cocktails. There’s the classics like a Navy Grog or Singapore Sling, but you can knock back large-format cocktails made to split between two to four people. Or visit during Happy Hour, like Mai Tai Tuesday, or join the Land Lover’s Rum Club and get 25% off on Sundays.

    ANVIL BAR & REFUGE

    Bobby Heugel’s first Houston bar, which arguably launched the city’s now thriving drinks scene, has been around for some time, yet has remained the number-one spot for classic cocktails in Texas. The brass-accented, high-energy joint continually offers a list of 100 classic and eight seasonal house creations on the menu. These come from well-trained, sociable staff who have themselves built up a loyal crowd of regulars. Beyond the excellent drinks, there’s a good list of appropriately salty snacks and an eclectic clientele of cocktail enthusiasts who make great drinking buddies.
