The drinks are all so good. There are no misses on the menu, something for everyone. I love the vibe & the patio is nice when it's nice outside (limited time in Houston, but still). The bathroom was clean, too.

I had heard of this bar for a while now, but when I found myself of downtown Houston on a weekend night I figured I would give it a try It's not considered a speakeasy but there is zero signage from the street. There is a bouncer out front checking IDs, and when you head through a set of doors and up a dark stairway. This might sound creepy, but it's actually exciting. As you make it to the top of the stairs and open another door you enter a very hip and intimately lit bar The bar itself is fully stocked with virtually everything. It's aesthetically appealing. There were literally several bartenders working the long bar It was fairly packed, but it never felt like people had to crowd around the bar and stack in line to place an order The bartenders were incredibly professional. It is apparent that they take a lot of pride in their craft. I was also impressed with their small talk. A couple bartenders actually gave us recommendations and offered some history of the bar There is a wide variety of in house signature cocktails. These are all described on the menu, they show you what glassware it comes in, and it identifies which bartender created the recipe. Beyond this there are other classic cocktails to choose from Besides the tasty cocktails I was most impressed by how affordable the cocktails were. They aren't cheap in quality or price... but they aren't say "NYC cocktail prices" Some tips: Ask the bartender which cocktail they prefer. Also, ask which bartender is which, because their initials are on the menu next to their signature cocktails. These Old Fashion is their best seller, and if you go on Wednesday nights they have $2 Bicardi Old Fashions Cheers!!

First off this is the least known and best happy hour in Houston. Every once in a while when I'm downtown and don't feel like beating rush hour or I'll stop in here. It's a great atmosphere. The bartenders all know a lot about their extensive spirit selection. Cannot recommend enough. It is a beautiful dark bar with which wood surfaces Pretty sure they don't have any food. The bartenders here are all on Power with Anvil.

Really quaint and cool speakeasy. A bartender at another nearby bar suggested it to us when we mentioned we were visiting and jusy checking out some chill lowkey spots. Glad we stopped in! The drinks were delightful and the prices were surprisingly reasonable. I think often times the speakeasy ambiance justifies a higher drink price but was pleasantly surprised to find otherwise here.

This was a super fun way to end the night! You gotta walk past a bunch of clubs to find the law office doors. We completely passed it and happened to walk back. There's 2 different ones but only one is the entrance & you'll see the bouncer. After you enter, you go walk up a long stairway to enter the speakeasy. They have both indoor & outdoor seating. They have their Christmas decorations up so it's definitely a vibe! Drinks were so good! And service was also great. Would definitely come back here, cheers !

Captain Foxheart's is definitely the spot for a killer old fashion. It's also nice that it's in a busy area but hidden away from all the noise. Always my first stop when coming to Houston.

Best bar ever! I love this place so much! We had an incredible night here ! Our friend knows the owner. And we were so happy to be here and enjoy this amazing place. Here was incredible and we loved everything about this bar, which was reminding us of New Orleans.

Who doesn't love a good speakeasy. Nestled away up a wooden staircase next to an attorneys office sits a high-craft cocktail bar. With vermouths I could never dream up, and a bourbon list that will even make an aficionado blush, you name the drink, they can make it. Other than a place to have great conversations with friends, and a place to make memories, Foxhearts offers knowledgeable staff, that will impress you. This place is an awesome pre-late dinner spot, or great for a late-night night cap.

This is a true speakeasy. I knew to look for a law office, but there are two entrances to the building for law offices. Look for the one with a dude who may or may not be a door guy because of his nonchalance lol. Once you see him, you'll know that you're at the right place. Upon entering, we saw that it was a nice sized bar with a super chill and laid back vibe (my kind of place). We were able to grab two seats at the bar, but they also have tables as well as seating on the balcony. The patrons here are really friendly. We chatted with a guy who frequents the place and he told us that if we can't find a drink that we like on the menu, let the bartenders know and they will create a cocktail based on our flavor preferences (those are the best kind of bartenders)! The menu rotates seasonally. I ordered the Tiger Beet. It's a gin based drink that came with a beet garnish. I don't even like beets, but I've had beet cocktails before and have enjoyed them. I liked this one, but it was a tad too sweet for my preference. My cousin had a drink called the Polanco Daisy. It was good, but extremely sweet. Our bartender was Christine and she was great! She was very attentive and just so nice. She even hooked us up with a shot. As the patron had advised, I told her what I typically like to drink and she created a shot that tasted like a French 75. It was really good! We had so much fun! I don't go out to bars downtown that often, but I really enjoyed Captain Foxheart's! I'm looking forward to coming back.
