Things To Do
Prohibition Texas
A short walk down the block from our wedding venue, Prohibition is cool bar that specializes in Old Fashioneds and anything bourbon. Check out their cool cigar bar if that's your thing!
Wunsche Bros. Cafe & Saloon
Opened originally as a hotel, brothel, and saloon built for railroad workers and travelers, now it's a really solid place to grab a bite. Check out the second floor, it's all still original.
CorkScrew BBQ
Michelin star BBQ located in the small town of Old Town Spring around the corner from our wedding venue. Be prepared for a line! We'd recommend getting there before it opens to get a good spot in line if BBQ is your thing.
Excalibur Brewing
If small town breweries are your thing, you have to check this place out. The beer is really good and the service is outstanding.
Pappasito's Cantina
For those who haven't had the life changing experience of real Tex-Mex, Pappasito's is a great first introduction to it. Make sure to get the queso and the fajitas (don't forget to drench the fajitas in the butter).
Houston Zoo
As proud annual members, we visit the zoo quite often. The trick is to get there 15 minutes before it opens, otherwise parking is a nightmare. Pro tip, grab you some breakfast tacos from a place like Laredo Taqueria or Villa Arcos and eat them in the car while you wait for the zoo to open.
Laredo Taqueria
One of our go-to breakfast taco spots. Can't go wrong with anything you order.
Villa Arcos
One of our other go-to breakfast taco spots. You won't be disappointed!
Houston Museum of Natural Science
Another place we are proud annual members of. We go to most of their after-hours food and drink events. 4 floors of incredibly well detailed and well executed science exhibits. Worth the trip if you have the time.
Space Center Houston
What Houston is really known for. If you are even remotely interested in space, you need to check this out. Make sure to book the mission control tour ahead of time. One of the coolest experiences you can do in the Houston area in our opinion.
Anvil
Our favorite bar of all time (and we have been to a lot of bars). Fair warning, it gets busy, so we try to get there right around when they open to snag a spot at the bar.
Flora
One of our go-to spots for dinner/happy hour. Walkable distance from our apartment, we spent many nights walking there and hanging out at the bar. If you sit at the bar, tell Carlos we said hey. Located in Buffalo Bayou, the scenery around the restaurant is hard to beat. Sunday brunch is one of their specialties but make sure you have reservations if you plan on going.
Kata Robata
If sushi is your thing, definitely check this place out. Sister restaurant to Katami (one of the top places in the city), it's the same quality for a much more reasonable price. Sit at the sushi bar and make sure to get the Wagyu Katsu Sando, it's our personal favorite.
Saint Arnold Brewing Company
One of our go-to places to go hangout with Roux. The beer garden has a really cool atmosphere. Their food is amazing (get one of the pizzas) and the beer is really high quality.
The Toasted Coconut
Usually a place we bring people to when they come to visit for the first time. Great for getting some appetizers to split. Make sure to get the lamb flatbread, it's our personal favorite. Also, if you go for dinner, ask if they have room in their speakeasy for you once you finish eating. It's a really cool spot to checkout.
