Went to a holiday party at Public Services tonight at which Underbelly catered the noms. This was no ordinary party buffet - everything was delish, like really out of this world! Next level deviled eggs, steak skewers, chicken bahn mi sandwiches, flat bread bites and, course, the classic UB braised goat and dumplings! You outdid yourselves, Underbelly! Only suggestion is that there be more indication that the food was from UB, bc no one wanted to go near the food until they learned it was catered by you! Then it was game on! Also, though I loved the sesame seeds on the skewers, it's not pretty in teeth, ha! Many thanks for the killer food, stellar beverages, sweet music, lovely service and killer ambiance, Public Services! One of the best work-related parties I've ever been to!
This place has an amazing atmosphere. The music isn't too loud, so you can actually have decent conversation. The drinks are well mixed. The décor is just awesome. A really classy place to chill out with friends.
This is the kind of place where you can sidle up to the bar, say "I want a glass of something weird and delicious," and be richly rewarded for it. In short, it is the best kind of place.
Great atmosphere! It has a very old world charm to the place that isn't found in very many places do to the building it's in. Love it.
Incredible wine and whisky selections. Justin and the rest of his staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. They can offer a suggestion for a novice or have a deep conversation with a connoisseur. Also, it's one of the few bars that can be crowded but you can still hear the people next to you. Definitely a favorite of mine.
It's simple: great people, a clean setting that makes full use of the historic architecture of the space, great people, a carefully-constructed collection of wines and spirits, great people, the attitude that those great wines and spirits are wasted if people can't afford to drink them and are thus priced quite reasonably, great people, unique snacks (the bologna is a must-have. Period), and great people. Good friends introduced me to Public Services, and Justin, Sean, & the crew treated me like an old friend from that first visit. I'll drive in from Cypress for this place.
Awesome atmosphere with great drinks and bar snacks ... that’s hard to come by in Houston!
Nice single malt selection, among other things, lively crowd, friendly knowledgeable bartenders.
Fantastic selection. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Beautiful space. Great people watching.
Beautiful bar in a historical building. Masculine wood paneling, crown moulding, made for a really nice setting for cocktails. Nice comfortable chairs and couches. Great selection of brown water, and delicious cocktails. Would love to go back and spend more time there!! Impressive!
Great place to nerd out on great spirits and vino!
i LOVE THIS PLACE! Friendly, knowledgeable staff and excellent wine, spirits and cocktail selection with a beautiful environment!
Great bar, people, and scene. The excellent staff makes you feel welcome.
High class yet casual cocktail bar in Downtown Houston. Very cool old school vibe with great drinks. Extensive whiskey list as well as cocktails. My favorite is the Sazerac. $6 cocktails happy hour from 4-6:30 daily is a great deal!
Perfect place to relax and enjoy a fantastic selection of scotch. A unique spot to have great conversations in the one of a kind historical cotton exchange with couches to lounge and fantastic music in the background.
Awesome wine and whiskey selection. If you're a whiskey lover, you'll enjoy their selection and knowledge. I personally enjoy their cider wine (Cidrerie du vulcain, "transparente" apple cider of Switzerland). The ambiance is great with a vintage feel.
We hosted our company Christmas party here this year and it was amazing!! Phenomenal service and a beautiful establishment. I'll definitely be going back!
Beautiful space and great atmosphere. They have a long list of bourbans and they make a delicious old fashion. Definitely recommend!
Stopped her for happy hour! Amazing price on drinks. It was great! Beautiful space and nice bar tenders .
I have been coming here for a few years now and I have never been disappointed. They are veteran cocktail makers and they know their craft. Staff is friendly and the ambiance is inviting and cozy. If you go on a slow might it's a great place to have a quiet drink with friends or an educational discussion of various drink related topics with the bartenders.
Very good cocktails. Interesting place to hang out.
This is a very cool little spot for happy hour or drinks with friends. The drinks are delicious. Parking is terrible, as with anything downtown, but that's to be expected.
I recently attended a wedding here and it was pretty much the best wedding ever. It's a gorgeous building and made for a really unique little venue.

They treat Bourbon cocktails properly... stirrers, and chilled glasses. Excellent classic music can still be heard somewhat over the din. Very attentive staff at the time we came, which was probably early evening. Busy place, but still enjoyed it.
