The Flat: Reviews & Ratings
Wow! I'm not sure how I've never visited this place! Everything about it was so much fun. The colorful building is the cutest. BUT THE BARTENDER (Ronal) was by far my fav experience. His drinks (all of them) was amazing, I had the Lavender Lemon Drop & Green Tea Shot (I didn't get a pic - it was so good I forgot to snap one)! He is so creative, knowledgeable, a true mixologist and very friendly too. He alone would be the reason my husband and become forever customers here. Now, let's talk about their pizza ... I can't lie, I was a little hesitant to order food only because majority of the time (that I've experienced), when the drinks are as good as they were, the food is not so good, well, this place tossed that thought all the way out of the window! Our pizza was so good! Really really good! It was fresh and flavorful! I would highly recommend! And to top off all of that greatness they have, it was nice to see that they are still following all of the Covid-19 safety guidelines! I can't wait to go back! THIS PLACE IS A VIBE!
I like this little bar. It has a cool vibe inside, love the music. It's totally different on the outside patio, it's more calm and less noisy. Love that they have DJs almost every night. They sell pizza so that's a plus for a bar, didn't try it tho.
I haven’t been in forever! Still such a vibe. Spent 43 on two drinks and two shots which is a deal these days.
Very small neighborhood bar with great service and awesome vibe
First time visiting, it was super fun ! love the vibes, and there's room for everyone !!! Definitely visiting again. I highly recommend it. #GreatDrinks
Pretty small indoors but they do have a outdoor patio. Drinks were decently priced. Frozen mojito was delicious. Inside is pretty cool as well. Parking is a hassle though as they don't have a parking lot, you have to find street parking and that's always a hassle. Overall a cool place
This place is literally a hidden gem of Houston's night life, it's tucked off in a cozy little corner w AMAZING atmosphere, staff is always great, drinks are spectacular & the food is actually good, plus they have a food truck outside as well. 10/10 would definitely recommend stopping by (they have different themes every night)
Kali at The Flat is an absolute gem behind the bar! From the moment we walked in, she made us feel welcomed and taken care of with genuine warmth and energy. Her cocktail skills are top-tier—every drink she made was perfectly balanced and crafted with care. You can tell she’s passionate about what she does, and it shows in both her creativity and attention to detail. Whether you’re a regular or just visiting, Kali makes the experience unforgettable. If you’re heading to The Flat, make sure to grab a seat at her bar—you won’t regret it!
