Sunset Rooftop Lounge

Me and my friends came here on a Tuesday after an Astros game! I’m not gonna lie, the DJ was on point that night, and it was a great atmosphere!

I had a wonderful experience. The service was great. The drinks were awesome. The bartender was amazing so attentive. I want to make sure her employer knows that they are lucky. She is a tall woman with very short blonde hair.

Perhaps reviews need to separated between reviews made during one's experience on a busy weekend vs non-peak days/times because there is a STARK difference. Non-peak days/times, that rooftop bar vibes and views are amazing! My last experience, however, was disappointing; took 2 friends there w the intention of showing of being able to catch up while sipping and showing them a nice city view. Instead, had to maze through a sea of people and speak up beyond the decimal of a chill chitchat because of the mass attendance of night-goers. Perhaps limiting the # of occupants to ensure a memorable experience and ongoing loyalty would have been a better strategy. I'm but one customer, but that was probably my last visit.

This is my first ever google review so it did take a bad experience for me to take the time to even leave one, and a LATE one at that. On 10/17 friday night we went out for drinks before a show that night to celebrate my birthday weekend. We were ready to purchase plenty of drinks and leave a nice tip since I know how stressful it can be working a busy weekend etc. The bartender was beyond rude! She was caucasian and had a buzz cut , (describing her so the right person gets addressed) We politely raised our hand to ask for a drink menu(our first time there) and the bartender literally shouts “The menu is behind the bar!” Rude and loud. Unprofessional and tachy. I thought maybe she was having a rough day but no excuses for that. I proceed to try and order a drink AT the bar that was empty at the time and she is texting on her phone, looks up and looks my dead in the eyes and gets back to texting. Did not bother once to ask what I needed so the nice bartender next to her attended me. We had money to spend and well we just took our business else where. You would think working in this industry you would want to make your money back in tips( but this woman was the worst bartender I have ever had. Can’t believe I even have to make this review smh. Houston has a ton of bars, won’t be back. Mind you, we drove from out of town.

So I’m a reviewer and I check out places and see how the vibe is with the feel is like like and the service at the establishments in general. I especially like to evaluate how the staff and the management treat diverse individuals and if they’re generally cool with folks who may not fall into their typical clientele. I was totally disappointed. I and my husband were checking out the area and decided to stop by at this so-called rooftop bar. I have no idea what was going on with The bartender but it was a Saturday evening and 6 pm. The place was empty as you’ll see in the video that I’ve posted. It was cute because somebody was setting up for being proposed tonight, so it would’ve been their special day, but as we were there to check it out, we decided to get a couple of drinks And the bartenders attitude was tuding! It was as if she’d rather not have us there but oh well the drinks were expensive and the alcohol was light and after $40 short we decided that this was not the place for us. Will not be coming back here again and do not recommend anybody to this place. They also don’t serve any food and right where they’re so-called rooftop deck is set up besides the little Houston skyline you get to see a big stinky dumpster.
