davenport, is by far, the best martini bar to lounge and mingle. the space is small and dimly-lit, providing an ambience that is cozy and comfortable ... like sitting in front of a fireplace while sipping on hot cocoa ... except you're sipping on a martini. the martini list is quite extensive, unlike any other i've seen in houston. and the ones i've tried are exceptionally good, though a little on the strong side, like the almond joy martini. there are also boardgames for additional diversions. the only complaint about this place is that there is only one stall for each of the women's and men's restroom, so be prepared to do a bit of waiting if you've been doing some drinking. make sure the restroom door is fully locked when you do you're thing. you have no idea how many times i've been walked in on ... and vice versa. other than that, this is a great place for pre-drinking or just kicking back and chilling with friends.*
Pros: martinis, ambience, laid-back
Cons: crowded, parking, need more restrooms
