Samantha MaeJuly 6, 2016No cocktail menu but they make all classic cocktails. One drink equals one vote! Beautiful venue, great for dates.
Angie OsmanskiMay 29, 2017Great music & drinks! Only 1 shuffle board. Just ask the bartender for pucks & leave your ID. For every drink you get a ticket to vote for your charity of choice.
EaterMarch 26, 2013The vibe in this historic space is so good that it merits a visit. With Anvil veteran Mike Criss leading the way, the cocktail program will be solid.
TraciNovember 27, 2014Super cool place in historic downtown Houston. The cocktails are awesome & the bartender is friendly. Vote per drink on a charity to support each month.
Great bar for a date or to hang out with friends. Excellent cocktails, and all the profits go to charity. What a great idea!- Mario RiosMay 17, 2014The staff is very friendly and do a great job. I highly recommend Southside cocktail! It does get packed, so be patient with the door guys.
- My Table MagazineJune 14, 2013There’s nothing to not love. It’s housed in a beautiful old building. During the day, lots of light comes through the skylights. Each month, proceeds from purchases go to one of four charitable... Read more

James SFebruary 10, 2013I came for the queens park swizzle and i got a mojoto.. Take promo buzz about classic cocktails with a grain salt.. Not a full cocktail bar.. No crushed ice... Great place and mojito tho!
Colin DaughertySeptember 7, 2016Amazing fresh baked cookies. Definitely worth the wait. And the profits go to great causes. Great cocktails and local beer options.
Kassidy MenaceMay 1, 2014They make a great Jerry Loves Ginger - Sailor Jerry, ginger beer and a squeeze of highly coveted lime!!
Go to this bar. It's amazing. Chocolate chip cookies with cold milk. Glorious.
- Some GuyOctober 17, 2014Great causes (never heard of a non-profit bar before). Good beers on draft, nice atmosphere.
Robyn PassApril 17, 2013Thirty minute wait for cookies when not crowded. Delicious cookies though. Don't forget to vote with your tickets.
Sarah DiabApril 4, 2013Now THIS is a bar...Rob and Emily are fantastic. Great concept, some times simplicity is wonderful!
Andrew RochmanMarch 16, 2013The chocolate chip cookies & milk are to die for. A must order on every trip here.
David CJune 5, 2018Fancy cocktails in a cool space, it's like a renovated warehouse with a big skylight
Baked to order chocolate chip cookies are worth the 15min wait.
Houston PressAugust 12, 2014After almost a year in the making, OKRA Charity Saloon made it's debut in earnest late last year. Read more
Greg LearNovember 6, 2014Near bar experience. A portion of the sales goes to a selected charity which is special.
Cole TOctober 20, 2017How do you not get behind this bar's mission? The benefited charities adorn the wall and the space is gorgeous.
ChadFebruary 2, 2014I like that part of the cost of my drink goes to charity, I don't like that I have to wait 30 minutes for a drink.
Service is hit or miss. Better luck when you order simple cocktails (or just a beer)- Always remember to vote for your favorite charity of the month!
I like this place, but it's a pain in the ass to get a drink
Valerie NietoFebruary 6, 2017The drinks and atmosphere were great but the service from the manager was horrible. Not a nice lady
Kara BrookeMay 27, 2013We had never been here before; therefore, we weren't aware they only served local brews. We were treated terribly (seriously worst service ever!) by Brittany.

"Great bar keeps and a beautiful space! Real perk is that the capacity is kept low so you always have space, even on the busiest of nights."

"really nice atmosphere. Great staff and lone star beer in bottles. Cosy place with nice music but still silent enough to talk to each other."
