Best Bars And Lounges in Spring

Bar Doko is a fun experience for people who want a more unique experience from the typical offerings here in Houston. A lot of their cocktails lean on more umami flavors, and highlights the Japanese influence this bar incorporates. That being said, some people may not enjoy that approach, but for those that do, will have a fun and unique experience. They source very specific ingredients for their drinks and quality shows in the taste. I highly recommend the "ei" eternity cocktail, which incorporates a wagyu fat wash with the whiskey and is apparent in the overall flavor of the drink, alongside the mushroom garnish complimenting the umami flavors. The imo negroni is a fun spin on the familiar compari bitterness with a sweet potato spin. Will definitely come back and try other items soon!

Amazing time. The music, food and ambiance were all great!

I know it’s a bar, however, knowing that I made a reservation and entering the establishment, no one really greeted us once we enter. We stood there for about 3 -5 minutes until someone said, have a seat anywhere you would like. Maybe they need a little bit more signing stating sit wherever you like. Once we sat down, it took forever for someone to come and take our order. I did feel uncomfortable, but I wanted to try the place. The drinks and food was nice, but I don’t think I would come back.

Great service, great ambiance, good prices. The food was okay, but not great. The salmon was overcooked and the chicken Marsala needed more flavor, but overall decent food. The wine selection is great. A great place to visit with great service.

Wasnt very busy so didn’t understand why it took so long for someone to help us to a table and then after we got a table it took a while to get a server. The food and drinks were great though
