Turkey Leg Hut

Now this is going to be a testimony I am compelled to share. I do not eat turkey (outside of ground turkey). A friend pleaded that I couldn’t come to Houston and not try the famous Turkey Leg Hut. Of course, I was skeptical about going. But after much convincing, I decided to give it a try. I figured that if nothing else it would he an experience. The restaurant opens at 11am on Sundays. I arrived at 12pm and there was a line that wrapped around the block!

I waited in line for 2.5 hours Apparently if you go during the week, there is no crazy long wait. I have a friend that went on a Wednesday at 1pm and had a totally different experience—he didn’t wait at all. So, my recommendation would be to go on off peak days and hours. Now let’s move on to the food and drank! Let me tell you! I have NEVER eaten a piece of turkey so succulent and flavorful in my ENTIRE life! I mean mind blowing. The shrimp Alfredo turkey leg is to die for!

The sangria… best I ever had! The waffle fries and wings? Bangin! The whole experience was incredibly worthy. The overall vibe of the restaurant only adds on to the experience. The venue is casual with indoor and outdoor seating. The DJ was on point spinning classic R&B hits from the 90s into the present day and I can assure you, everyone was here for it. I was dancing in my seat the whole time and if you looked around, you could catch others doing the same. Turkey Leg Hut is hands down somewhere you must go if you’re in Houston.

Present Company

This neon accented postmodern bar is the cutest! You are sure to find some awesome Instagramable moments here. From the glassware drinks are served in, to the atmosphere, Present Company is definitely a hot spot. Their cocktails are fun and unique and can be enjoyed indoors or outdoors.

The UNDER THE SeaBD was tasty. This cocktail is made with pineapple rum, kiwi syrup, lime juice, blue curacao, lemon cbd, eucalyptus tincture, topo chico, and you can get an extra dose of cbd for $3. And, yes… you read correctly, cbd lol. To be honest, I felt tipsy but I can’t say that I felt the effect of the cbd. The DON’T TELL THE BUTCHER {ABOUT THE MILKMAN} cocktail is pretty good as well, but I would recommend this one to the banana lovers. They are also known for their gourmet burgers.

Prospect Park Restaurant

“Prospect Park Restaurant is the rare fusion of delicious dining, live music venue, and lounge.” I love the ambiance of this place—dope vibes with cocktails to match. The Shark Tank cocktail was everything! Made with Sauza tequila, Blue Curacao, and sprite to create a refreshing blast of flavorful goodness! I didn’t have any of the food but it looked and smelled great. The crowd is mid 20s to 30s. I went on a Saturday night, during All-Star Weekend, and it was packed! Prospect Park Restaurant is a great location to watch games as there are a multitude of TVs all around the venue. They also have indoor and outdoor seating and hookah.

The Davenport

The Davenport is a popular bar known for its extensive martini selection. The menu features 27 different martinis, and you can order your usual drink of choice as well. My pick for the martini was the Mudslide (bear in mind I’m not a fan of vodka). The cocktail was well made with the perfect balance of liquor and flavor. I was pleasantly surprised at how lively and packed the bar was on a Sunday. The venue is a bit smaller than I expected with limited seating options. The crowd is 30s/40s. The music is so Houston. They played Houston /dirty south hits from back in the day and mixed in some new school music as the night progressed. I recommend this bar if you’re looking for something chill with a little more to it or as a pregame destination.

The Address

The Address is Houston’s newest hot spot with all the vibes! It is well known for their Sunday brunches, daily happy hour, and night life. The venue serves as a restaurant, bar, and event space. By day, the venue offers indoor and outdoor seating and dining. Friday through Sunday you can enjoy their night life scene. I actually went to The Address specifically for the night life and it was lit! Sunday is supposed to be the best night to go and I see why. The place was packed! Great music, great crowd, and great atmosphere and comes highly recommended.

Kulture

Kulture is the sister restaurant to the famous Breakfast Club. I decided to go to Kulture because I heard it is an upscale version of Breakfast Club, and I was curious what that experience would be like. Unfortunately, I wasn’t impressed by the food. The chicken pork sandwich was interesting but nothing to write home about.

However, the vibe is great, along with the aesthetic of the venue, and the okra tempura is absolutely delicious! Kulture definitely gives all the feels of a cute happy hour spot.

Cyclone

Cyclone is Tex-Mex (Texas Mexican Food) restaurant that serves a variety of options. If you want an AH-MAZING life changing margarita, Cyclone is a must! The pork taco was good and the black soup beans with rice enhanced the meal. This is a good spot to grab a quick bite and drinks.
