The Kid

Great vibe, great food, and great service! Stopped by The Kid in Houston and had an awesome experience. The service was super friendly and attentive the whole time. They’ve got a jukebox where you can pick your own songs, which makes the atmosphere even better. And let me just say—the sirloin rice cakes are bomb! Easily one of the best things I’ve had at a bar. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area.

Everything about this place was spot on amazing!! The ambiance, the food , drinks! Definitely will be coming backs. And definitely money worth. The burgers were delicious!

Great loungy-feel bar with good specials and food. We had the Sirloin Rice Cakes, so very good! Duvel and Saint Arnold on tap with an array of creative, strong cocktails that are only $5 on Monday. Hmmm... that sounded like a commercial. Oh well, its a cool vibe. And the patio is perfect for football watching complete with bleachers...what? Hidden gem much?

I was sad to see the old Flying Fish go but this new place is a great place as well! Visited for the first time and I was very impressed. Bar tenders we super cool, the “Bodacious” burger is a must!! I had 2 old fashions and they were right on point. I hope the best for this place and I will visit again soon! Definitely a place to support in the Houston Heights area.

My favorite bar in the Heights! Food is always delicious, drinks are always great, and the atmosphere is awesome. If you’re looking for a laid back night with good music, drinks, and food then this is your spot!

Everything about this place is perfect. Incredible food, delightful service, wonderfully, thoughtfully crafted cocktails. Whatever your vibe is, you’ll find it here. Not to mention the parking is ample so if you’re trying to bar hop, there’s so many places nearby but honestly, why would you want to go anywhere else?

Really liked this cool new spot. We enjoy cocktail lounges for the vibes, and this has it. Friendly customers, cute and knowledgeable staff, fun environs, what's not to like? . I had simple gin and tonics, but they were well made. My wife thought her negroni was tasty as well. . The Manager started our stay with a bowl of hot nuts. I forget how good this snack is! Then we had the sirloin rice cakes, which was good as well. I also had the Bodacious Burger with fantastic crunchy tots. . Next time will try out their beer program, and there will be a next time.

What do you look for when you visit a bar or cocktail lounge? I usually look for not just well- made drinks, but also tasty food, a variety of beer, good atmosphere, attentive service, easy parking- a little bit of everything, really. And an establishment that easily pushes all of my buttons the right way is The Kid, an eating and drinking establishment located in the Houston Heights area. The Kid Houston was built from a former tire shop, and it features a large interior and two patios. Parking is available free onsite, but during crowded days/nights you may need to find parking on a nearby street. There are even a few extras at The Kid, like a pool table, and a nice assortment of specialty cocktails and beer. Food at The Kid is limited, but you will love what they serve. The burgers are made from high quality beef and an added appetizer is a good idea to start things off, before the main course. I love their Queso Verde, and there are other worthwhile options, too, like Hummus & Pita, Sirloin Rice Cakes, etc. The full- service bar has you covered with any drink that suits you, but I recommend trying one of the innovative cocktails, like the Yet Another Bluebonnet Photo or Let That Mango. The inside of The Kid features dim lighting, giving it a more intimate feel. If you prefer the natural light, then I recommend heading outdoors to one of the two patios. Oh, and if you’re the type who likes to be surrounded by adults only, you will appreciate that The Kid doesn’t allow kids past 7pm. In summary, The Kid is a place that has it all. From the easy parking, to the quality food and drink, to the attentive service, The Kid has all the qualities I like in a bar, cocktail lounge, and bar & grill all melded into one. It’s a cool place in the Houston Heights, ready to grace you with its presence.

This is a great new spot, clean, friendly staff, great service. One of the best burgers I’ve had. Highly recommended!! Five stars across the board!!! And, they have the ability to host groups in a private room with a pool table.

Working with the GM & Staff to host a 200+ holiday event was the pure definition of great hospitality/Professionalism Would highly recommend groups hosting events at The Kid. Thank you Casey & Chris Mendez for facilitating an amazing event.

Nice spot to duck away and have a great time. Weekly specials are great. Now. The person behind the bar is a superwoman. She was practically there by herself and didn’t miss a beat. It was oddly impressive. TIP HER

I’ve been to just about every bar in this city and The Kid is top notch. The food and atmosphere is fantastic. Not too many bars give service like these guys do. It will be a weekly stop for me. Great job!

A very spacious venue. Decorations are lively and are consistent with the vibe! Drinks are mixed to good! Great spot all around

This is a fun bar. A windowless less building that's a bit dark inside, an odd pimped out painting of William H Bonnie and music that can be just about anything from one song to the next. The food was surprisingly good and the drink prices were decent. I liked it, its different, and they have plenty of seating if you're usually meeting up with a few friends. It's worth a stop.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish! Every detail was thoughtfully executed, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The gingerbread espresso martini was an absolute standout—perfectly balanced, festive, and incredibly smooth. It alone is worth the visit. The chips and queso were equally impressive: hot, creamy, and full of flavor, making them the perfect shareable bite. Exceptional service, delicious offerings, and a memorable experience overall. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!

Drinks were amazing! I really enjoyed myself here! They hosted my book club and it was really fun! Dee was really great on getting everyone’s orders!

I had the queso and egg nog alcoholic drink. It was very tasty and not skimpy on the alcohol. Nice chill atmosphere & ample parking

Went for the espresso flight. They were awful. So syrupy and gross. We were so excited to try them and it was a waste.

Worst experience ever! A few of us walked in and wanted to order, the girl at the counter straight up refused us service. She said “I can choose who to serve and I’m refusing to serve you guys”. Would not give any other valid reason why. Never had this happen before. We live in the area and came in to show support! Will never be back again

Cool neighborhood bar vibe… except for the bartender. Straight up refusal of service for no obvious reason. Won’t be going here again / did not feel welcomed at all!

We live in the neighborhood and LOVE supporting small businesses. However, the lady working tonight refused service to my husband and his friends for no apparent reason at all. They asked for a cocktail menu and she responded “I will not serve you guys” and refused to give a legitimate reason. If I had to guess, I would say maybe it has something to do with race. Will not be returning here and will be letting all our friends/neighbors in the area to also not support this business.
