ShahFebruary 12, 2018This 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.
Houston PressNovember 6, 2014Get 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
The Most Interesting Man in the WorldFebruary 25, 2014Far 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.
Now Hiring Houston Career BrandingMarch 31, 2015I 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!- Houston PressAugust 4, 2014Under The Volcano, a cozy, eccentric bar in Rice Village, takes its name from a macabre 1947 novel by Malcolm Lowry. Read more
- Joan TankersleyMay 23, 2014Strawberry 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).
Men's Health MagNovember 15, 2011Houston’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.
Nikhil CDecember 5, 2017I gave this place two chances based on amazing reviews. It is avg food and cocktails not a foursquate 8+ in any way
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...- Amy MohsFebruary 9, 2014Great atmosphere and nice decor. The frozen screwdriver was a party in my mouth and will be back!
- Houston PressJanuary 25, 20112010 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.
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.
Shannon ØverlandNovember 2, 2013Good drinks..frozen screwdriver is meh..the chicken salad sandwich was awesome! Parking kinda sux.- Michele LoffiApril 14, 2010The 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.

Mills McCoinOctober 15, 2010The Singapore Sling is excellent here. Be careful not to shit your pants in the short time betwixt finishing your third and ordering your fourth.
Lizzy BuftonOctober 7, 2011One of great bloody marys in Houston - garnish includs salami & pickled okra on a stick!
S ChanDecember 18, 2012So, came to try their Monday steak night...better to wait for Tuesday steak night at the Hideaway!
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.- John-Henry PereraSeptember 1, 2015Not a bad bar by any means, though the seats outside make my back hurt a little.
Jean-Marc BuytaertMarch 31, 2012Try staying on the patio. Inside is too crowded and noisy, you have to scream to have a conversation.
frozen screwdrivers are famous, but also try the frozen cuba libre ;)
- Also, gets lively late night, after 12. Great place to end the night.
Jamaal ParkerSeptember 2, 2012Terrible service, waited for a drink for at least 20 min, and even after telling the bartender what I wanted, was still not served. Won't be back
