Whiskey Bars in Houston, TX

“Anvil is, without a doubt, my favorite cocktail bar. And that's not just within Houston. The consistent quality of their cocktails is simply unrivaled. They have a rotating selection of featured cocktails, but half the time I order from their list of 100 classics because they craft them to near-perfection (sometimes perfection, if I'm being honest). Yesterday, I tried a new one containing shōchū, reposado tequila, and black sesame... my adjectives wouldn't do justice to the simple elegance and brilliance of that cocktail. They don't offer happy hour nor outdoor seating. There are probably ~15-20 seats at the bar and then 8-12 booths along the windows, each of which fits 4-5 people. The bartenders are always amazing, their knowledge of the craft is impressive. At the end of the day, Anvil isn't trying to rope you in with trendy fads nor great deals. But I suspect you'll be back for a return visit, because they're serving the highest-quality cocktails in town“

“excelente servicio y la bebida de wiskie con almendras y claras exquisita.“

“I can say Julep is my most favorite cocktail bar in Houston until this point. They offer the huge cocktail menu which is carefully categorized by types of liquor so that customers can easily find their favorite ones. I also love the vibes her, warm and cozy, welcoming and friendly. Their servers and bartenders are also helpful and dedicated. There is just nothing to complain about Julep.“

“Last night we had the most incredible experience. We spent our anniversary at the amazing @reserve101 for their @elijahcraig release. We had the full VIP experience and even left with an oh so special gift from the owners. It just so happened that our anniversary falls on Whiskey Week so this very may become our annual tradition. Thank you to the entire staff and owner Jace for making our night unforgettable.“

“Fun new place! Great cocktails and friendly staff.“

“Great cozy place! Friendly staff. Yummy food“

“Still getting settled into their new expanded facilities but more importantly still producing those award winning whiskey. Just got my first cask strength Shire Rye, and it is so smooth and complex. Specs does a great job of getting their products out but you will want to get to know the family behind the success by stopping by. Tell them to put it on my tab.“

“Second time visiting Eugene’s but the first time at this location. Servers were awesome. The women restroom is very nice and smells great.“
