Best Bar: Winnie\u2019s<\/strong><\/p>\n

You may consider Winnie\u2019s more restaurant than bar. After all, it serves some of the best noshes in town, noms that have been nommed in the field of foodies at Southern Smoke Festival and are routinely included on \u201ceat here in Houston\u201d lists. But we consider this Midtown wonder a bar with amazing food because Winnie\u2019s does bar things and some of those things are our favorite things to do.<\/p>\n

For instance, there\u2019s a regular trivia night, which is a lot of fun and also not routine for a \u201crestaurant.\u201d There\u2019s speed-dating, an amazing drag brunch and, on occasion, you can karaoke at Winnie\u2019s. If you sing near the bar or croon to po-boy eaters at their tables, the place magically becomes a supper club. Bands frequent the establishment, especially during Mid Main\u2019s First Thursday block parties, which Winnie\u2019s always participates in. There are TVs for watching sports and clear views of the surrounding area \u2013 from a spacious patio or from within the 1930s era building \u2013 for watching people.<\/p>\n

Our favorite bar thing to do at Winnie\u2019s is drink and socialize. We bring along the good company and Winnie\u2019s does the rest with just enough of the right stuff done perfectly. The place is part-owned by Johnny\u2019s Gold Brick owner Benjy Mason, so you\u2019re assured Winnie\u2019s is following a stellar blueprint with classic margaritas, old fashioneds and Pimm\u2019s cups. Staff cocktails dot the menu and include mesmerizing options. Best of all, the place morphs into a Winter Wonderland come Christmas, with specialty drinks served in seasonal glassware and cute backdrops for your holiday TikTok vids. There are lots of great bars in this town, but if you wanted one bar to situate at and accommodate all your needs for the afternoon and evening \u2013 including a killer meal \u2013 we\u2019d choose Winnie\u2019s.<\/p>\n
