Best Cozy Restaurants in Washington Avenue Coalition / Memorial Park

Very nice restaurant, whether you are going for lunch or dinner, definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for authentic Mexican food. Their drinks, and appetizers were my favorite part!

The best I tried so far in Houston! Great place to take clients or friends

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!

This was our first visit. The food was authentic and excellent. Service was exceptional. We can’t wait for our next visit.

Always good. Love the vibe, but love the chicken more. Mimosas had a good kick. Nice to have ones that aren’t primarily juice.
