No cocktail menu but they make all classic cocktails . One drink equals one vote ! Beautiful venue, great for dates.

Great music & drinks! Only 1 shuffle board . Just ask the bartender for pucks & leave your ID. For every drink you get a ticket to vote for your charity of choice.

Super cool place in historic downtown Houston. The cocktails are awesome & the bartender is friendly . Vote per drink on a charity to support each month.

The vibe in this historic space is so good that it merits a visit. With Anvil veteran Mike Criss leading the way, the cocktail program will be solid.

Great bar for a date or to hang out with friends. Excellent cocktails , and all the profits go to charity . What a great idea!

I came for the queens park swizzle and i got a mojoto.. Take promo buzz about classic cocktails with a grain salt.. Not a full cocktail bar .. No crushed ice ... Great place and mojito tho!

Amazing fresh baked cookies . Definitely worth the wait. And the profits go to great causes. Great cocktails and local beer options .

The staff is very friendly and do a great job. I highly recommend Southside cocktail ! It does get packed, so be patient with the door guys .

Thirty minute wait for cookies when not crowded . Delicious cookies though. Don't forget to vote with your tickets.

Baked to order chocolate chip cookies are worth the 15min wait.

The bartenders here are on a different level. They have a menu that rotates monthly and each bartender invents their own cocktail. I tried three of them. Each one is exquisitely unique & high quality. - Jamie Womack
