It wasn't voted Best Bar for nothing! Try anything and you'll see why. Cheryl and the other bartenders are friendly and talented!
This place is intimate, classy, and just all-around great. You can tell the bartender the type of drink you want and he'd come up with something. 9 times out of 10 it comes out amazing. Love it!
Victoria HawesFebruary 22, 2014Cool space, but be prepared to pay for everything. You don't even get chips and salsa! 2 people, 5 tacos, guacamole, 4 house margaritas, and a side of refried beans- $100.
Patty RathbunJune 12, 2014Keep an eye out for Cheryl Gibbs, one of the finest bartenders in H-town. Creative, hard-working and beautiful talent. If she's working, she's my bartender.
Local Houston MagazineAugust 3, 2014Go upstairs to Captain Foxheart’s Bad News Bar & Spirit Lounge and order yourself a cocktail. Then step out onto the patio that provides a delicious view of downtown Houston. Pretty damn simple. Read more
Go up the stairs towards the attorney's office and look for the door with the small fox.- My Table MagazineApril 19, 2013Probably the best feature of the bar (besides the cocktails) is the balcony. Ask anyone who’s been to Bad News and they’ll probably say, “I love the balcony!” When you’re on the balcony facing the ... Read more
Andrew KempJuly 19, 2013Great cocktails much like anvil. Little pricey but you do get what you pay for. Like of like 45 people in the bar so prob go on a weekday or get there early
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.
Cole TOctober 20, 2017Extremely unassuming space that you pretty much have to know about to find. Cocktails are wonderfully crafted; pricey though but honestly, what else do you expect?
One of my favorite bars in Houston! Amazing cocktails, and the atmosphere is perfect for happy hour or a night out!
RamyaNovember 30, 2014Elephant in the room is a must try. Comes with a little toy elephant sitting on the rim of your glass. Excellent cocktails.- My Table MagazineJune 20, 2013When you’re on the balcony facing the building, you might be reminded of New Orleans by the ornate façade. Face the MetroRail side, and now it feels a little like Chicago.
Beautiful space with cocktails by the best in town! Check out the patio balcony too.
Joel Hurt IIIJuly 29, 2013Went to Foxheart's on Saturday for the first time.... awesome place! it feels like you're not in Houston! Great drinks and Atmosphere....- Victoria HawesFebruary 22, 2014Previous review I left was not meant for here. I love this bar! It's beautiful, and the bartenders are awesome!
- Local Houston MagazineAugust 3, 2014We recommend you…just listen to the music of the traffic in the city…while spending some time on the Bad News Bar balcony. Read more
- Local Houston MagazineAugust 3, 2014We suggest you explore the block yourself. And while you are at it, stop in and thank good ol’ Capt. Foxheart for going back to a place many of us had abandoned…downtown! Read more
- Tasting TableAugust 5, 2014Ask the barman to mix up a perfect $5 Old Fashioned and watch the records spin on the staff-stocked turntable. Read more
Emily HurstMay 31, 2014The horrible fact is two years ago you could have walked into Fitz on Tuesday night and gotten this, minus annoying 20 somethings, for 1/2 the price.
- My Table MagazineJune 14, 2013This is a bar – i.e. they do not have a kitchen or serve food, so drop by a nearby restaurant before you come up. The other important thing to know is that there is no sign – not even a marked door. Read more
