Below is a mix of our favorite places in Houston, as well as some gems from the Museum District area where our wedding will take place. Houston's culture is vast, so feel free to explore the area or the Museum District website for more options!
Hotel ZaZa Museum District

Our out of town guests will be staying at the Hotel Zaza, which is a very popular spot even for locals. Fun pool scene for the hot August day, and swanky bar for your night cap!
You'll be going to the Museum of Natural Sciene for our wedding.. but why not check out the MFAH while you're in town? Check out their website to see what exhibits are being featured!
This is the OG Tex-Mex spot in Houston and you cannot go wrong with their fajitas, enchiladas, queso flameado, and ninfaritas! This may be a 15-minute Uber from the Hotel, but it's worth it! Reservations on Open Table.
Another one of the best Tex-Mex spots in Houston, started by the same family as Ninfa’s. This location is the closest to Hotel Zaza and is in the eclectic Montrose neighborhood. Call for reservations.
Brennan's of Houston

Upscale New Orleans dining in Houston! Be sure to get the turtle soup to start and milk punch with dessert. Reservations on Open Table.

Luna Pizzeria
3435 Kirby Dr, Houston, TX 77098, (832) 767-6338
Craving some late night crunchy pepperoni? Luna is our favorite! Multiple locations offer delivery on their website or DoorDash.
This outdoor spot in Montrose is where Courtney and Jeff got drinks after the museum on their first date. Great selection of food, wine, and cocktails with a fun vibe.
Grand Prize Bar
1010 Banks Street, Houston, TX 77006
A fun, quirky, hole-in-the-wall bar right down the street from Hotel ZaZa!
Anvil is the most popular bar in town for craft cocktails. It can be very crowded at night, but stop by for an afternoon treat! Located in Montrose, a quick Uber ride from the hotel.
