Great!
by josc
Amazing new menu for lunch and dinner. Great place to go for an after work or evening event with a very trendy crowd. Can't pick a favorite drink!!
Nice Bar but quiet...
by JRandGlenn
We visted A+ on a Monday around 7pm. The bar is nice with a beautiful wood floor. The bartender was cordial and our Martinis were good. The drawback was that they were 2 other customers in the bar so it felt like we were sitting waiting for something exciting to happen that never did.
Fake reviews...
by bigtex2003
If you click on the reviewers, you'll see that all 4 of them reviewed the same 3 places on the same days and gave cookie cutter great reviews! Ok, if you can't get reviews from customer and have to fake review your own place, that probably just means the place isn't worth reviewing in the first place.
- Pros: ?
- Cons: Fake reviews.
Happy Hour Galore!
by houstongroupie
What an amazing happy hour menu they have and some GREAT drink prices! Shrimp tacos.. yum! Such a great place to go for an after work or evening event without a whole bunch of minors and a very trendy crowd. Try the lavendar martini, it's one of my new favorite drinks. I have found the perfect place to hang with the perfect crowd!
- Pros: Signature Cocktails, Happy Hour, Crowd
- Cons: Valet Parking

In Short
Formerly known as the Sam Bar, this trendy lounge just blocks from the Main Street district reflects the modern stylings of the updated boutique hotel. With glossy brown leather banquettes, cozy seating and vibrant accents, the contemporary atmosphere is conducive to lounging. The solid oak bar offers up creative cocktails and classic lounge martinis. Bartenders and cocktail waitresses are easygoing and meander deftly through the tight space when groups of 30-somethings cluster around the tables.
- Pros: Cool decorGreat happy hour prices
- Cons: Not enough parking
Great
by chrisbongiovanni
The Sam Bar achieves that rare feat of being a hip, cool bar without ever feeling like a hotel bar. The decor and lighting are world-class, the crowd was young and fun, and I wanted to try every drink on the specialty drinks menu. Its close to all those clubs I would go there all the time if I lived in Houston.
Great Happy Hour Choice
by wengpenny
This is going to be my new favorite spot for that after work drink with my girlfriends! With its chic design combined with tasty unusual cocktails this is already a homerun! The location is great and I really enjoyed the open airy feeling with those large windows on street level. It wasn't too crowded, but offered an great mix - the perfect place to meet people and mingle.
- Pros: Interior Design, Lge Windows Str Level, Great Scene!
Cool Scene!
by charlottek
I love hotel bars! What a great addition to the night scene of Downtown Houston. The design and choice of colors are interesting and so is the crowd! Dont forget to take a look at the chandelier when you get there! I am very selective when it comes to what I drink, but this place makes some delicious cocktails!!! My favorite is Sam Sour so Ive been having that for breakfast, lunch and dinner ever since:).
- Pros: Design, Cocktail Presentation, Crowd
