This place is super fun! The interior is awesome, there are plenty of tables inside & out for bigger groups and the drinks are solid. I enjoyed my strawberry basil margarita a lot.
Get away from the mobs of the Village Arcade at this eccentric dive, where you can get $1 off mixed drinks and daily beer and food specials during their all day happy hour . Read more
Far more hospitable than actually being under a volcano , which is good, because I always found it incredibly inconvenient to try to drink a beer with a fire proximity suit on.
I am a big fan of a bloody mary , but this place wins for having the best! You won't be sorry just shocked when you see everything they add to them. In 1 word YUM!
Under The Volcano, a cozy , eccentric bar in Rice Village , takes its name from a macabre 1947 novel by Malcolm Lowry. Read more
2010 Best of Houston® Winner: Best Shot: “The Upside-Down Cake ” the tropical taste of pineapple washes down neatly with a smooth layer of vanilla and a bright note of grenadine at the very end.
Strawberry basil margarita was super delicious and loaded with fresh strawberries and basil .
Try the frozen screwdriver (or frozen cuba livre, if you're a guy), then try the mojito (awesome), then the bloody mary , (like a meal), then the strawberry-basil margarita , (unusual but good).
I gave this place two chances based on amazing reviews. It is avg food and cocktails not a foursquate 8+ in any way
Houston’s humidity will make you do nothing. Here’s the best bar to do it. Sit outside—there’s a roof over the outdoor seating—and order an iced screwdriver . You’ll never go back to ice cream .

Great atmosphere and nice decor. The frozen screwdriver was a party in my mouth and will be back!
Steak Night every Monday at 6 PM to 10 PM is great. It includes tossed salad with sesame raspberry vinagrette. 16 oz Rib Eye or Strip with garlic mashed potatoes and flan for dessert .
Wonderful fresh cocktails . Love the casual atmosphere
love the chimichurri sauce they serve with their steak but i don't like the fact that you HAVE to order a drink when ordering on Steak Night. sometimes i do just want water...
Great patio area , beer selection , and cocktails .
Mojitos are fantastic! Frozen screwdriver is pretty good too!
The best frozen Screwdrivers , EVER! Be careful, they're potent! The line to the bar is a bit long and, yes, they do need more bartenders on Friday nights.
So, came to try their Monday steak night...better to wait for Tuesday steak night at the Hideaway!
The Singapore Sling is excellent here. Be careful not to shit your pants in the short time betwixt finishing your third and ordering your fourth.
Great football table. Fun times on the patio . Very spacious .
One of great bloody marys in Houston - garnish includs salami & pickled okra on a stick!
Not a bad bar by any means, though the seats outside make my back hurt a little.
Good drinks..frozen screwdriver is meh..the chicken salad sandwich was awesome! Parking kinda sux.
Nice atmosphere and good service
The Mojito are awesome!
Great roast beef sandwich . Simple but good.
Steak night and strawberry basil margaritas !
Great place to take a date on a Monday.
Bar with a good vibe
Steak night on Mondays!
My favorite steak night in town , held on Mondays!
Not actually dog friendly . Bring your own water. Instructed that owner doesn't allow servers to provide water for dogs because they might pee on patio .
Frozen scroozi
Best bartenders in town !
Good place to take a date on a Monday.
Also, gets lively late night , after 12. Great place to end the night.
Watch out for Margaret (aka the Train Wreck).
Try staying on the patio . Inside is too crowded and noisy , you have to scream to have a conversation.
Monday Steak Nights are excellent!
Great drinks
frozen screwdrivers are famous, but also try the frozen cuba libre ;)
Steak night
Try the whiskey sour ! It's awesome!
Cocktails are okay
Great drinks!
Off-menu drink: Seabreeze. Grapefruit , cranberry , vodka --> summer yumminess.
Best frozen screwdrivers ????
Ask the good Geneva to make you a Paul Walker special.
Best bloody Mary ever!!!!
