Local Houston MagazineAugust 3, 2014It does a fantastic job of making you feel like you are relaxing somewhere in West Texas. Taking in the views you're going to see kids (only before 8pm), hipster parents & local Garden Oakians. Read more
- Local Houston MagazineAugust 3, 2014Cottonwood is a delightful bar/restaurant that looks like the lovechild of an old Texas dancehall and a beautiful beer garden … with a well-above-average food menu as its nanny. Read more
Nicole MonachinoAugust 8, 2014I like this pl. Similar to Little Woodrow's, but w/o the Ice House feel. Its a step up - Clean, Chill, Good Layout... Patio is super cool. Lots of good lookn peeps and, friendly like in the Heights.- Local Houston MagazineAugust 3, 2014Cottonwood is a hidden-in-plain-sight enclave just outside the Loop (a trip to some), well worth the drive to escape that déjà vu feeling we get at times inside the Loop.

Andres NovoaNovember 5, 2015The Squirrel Master burger is great! Pair it with their flight of any four beers if your choice (you can ask the bartender to curate this for you) and you can't go wrong!- Local Houston MagazineMarch 4, 2013A yard of crushed granite and tasteful landscaping, huge covered patios (heated!), a stage for live music, bocce court and a massive parking area are new as well.

- Houston PressNovember 4, 2014The Squirrel Master Burger is a winner with a heap of bacon, melted pepperjack cheese, and an oozing, jalapeño-studded fried egg! Read more
Rex M'MasiSeptember 3, 2014Holy shit. Let's start with the ambiance: great tunes, perfect patio. Jerk chicken sandwich, shrimp po boy sandwich, onion rings, squirrel master burger, ALL HEAT. No worries with those picks.
Leandra GuyJune 2, 2022The hamburger was seasoned well and delicious. I’m not a fan of super curly fries. I wish there was a better way to order food then having to go up to the bar.
Stephen AlexanderAugust 25, 2014Awesome outdoor/indoor bar with an Ice House feel but more upscale. The beer selection is good and the outdoor games are nice for big groups- Local Houston MagazineAugust 3, 2014No problem finding a parking spot here, just don’t pull too close to the tracks. The raw metal sign as you walk up welcomes you to Cottonwood, and we think you will enjoy staying for a while. Read more
DaveJuly 27, 2014Order the Spritzer on a hot day! They make it right with Aperol & Prosecco. Very Refreshing!
Sunday Brunch is pretty good! Small selection but won't regret it! Tres leches toast is my recommendation!
Luis C.December 6, 2013Great place to hang out and plenty of beers on tap. I recommend the Moscow Mule if you are looking for a mixed drink!- Local Houston MagazineAugust 3, 2014With an ever-changing craft beer and cocktail menu, Cottonwood makes it possible to call it home for an entire day or weekend.

I love the wide selection of crafted beers and the menu choices. Having an area that neighbors can bring their kids to play is very thoughtful too!
Shittier cover bands than Midtown and the Village combined. However, good beer selection and a great place to have a dog fighting ring.
TopSpot Internet MarketingDecember 27, 2013Team Lead Rachel frequents Cottonwood as she loves the "very relaxing, social atmosphere." Try "The Lounger" on the open patio.
Lisa KMarch 22, 2016Chill spot with a huge outdoor space. The shrimp poboy is deeeeelicious. Dog friendly
- BBQ Oysters & Stuffed Quail & Jerk Wings are the best. Great selection of beers on tap. Nice sound system too!!
Marisol BuriticaDecember 17, 2012I love this place! Awesome beers, delish food, and great service. Just wish there weren't so many kids running around.
My Table MagazineJune 14, 2013Cottonwood, with its outdoor benches and big pavilion, feels a bit like the kind of venue that would be good for a community barbecue. There actually are quite... Read more
Christine HaMarch 16, 2016Beer garden with some cocktails. Laidback but lively. Service can be slow. Strawberry pie 👍🏼
- Local Houston MagazineAugust 3, 2014While your standard entertainment fare of cornhole, horseshoes, dominos and giant TVs are available, the biggest draw is the near-500sf, hardwood stage. Read more
The burgers here are great! Wonderful ambiance too! Very eclectic.
Mike LinskeyApril 11, 2014Spring time is awesome at this outdoor watering hole with live band on Thursday.
Rebecca SDecember 30, 2015Good selection of drafts and the flights available are as varied as you want them to be
Collin MacAllisterNovember 25, 2013Good place to hang out. Awesome whiskey selection and friendly staff.
Geraldine Gonzales-EngleMay 13, 2016Loved the outdoor seating area. The food was good and the waitresses friendly.
Great beer selection. Skip the food or hope for a food truck.
Cool bar but waaaay too many kids running around on a weeknight while parents ignore them and drink! There are about 20 kids running around going nuts.
BBQ oysters and fish tacos r yummy. Kale salad nice if u want something healthy.
theneenerJune 28, 2014Service is unapologetically awful. Great patio but there are other great patios in Houston with better service. Visit those.
Stacia RabithFebruary 24, 2013Sat night & no kids! Couple fire pits, food truck, jenga & bocce ball!
