What bars should I being going to in Houston?

There are, unfortunately, 2 dedicated bars in Memorial. By Popular Demand and Cowboy Surfer. So not much variety.

Cowboy Surfer is slipping. Last visit, the bartender didn’t strain my cocktail correctly and it had way too much ice in it. Not a big deal if you’re making a Jack and Coke. But it’s an issue at $13 a drink. Last night we popped in for a drink and the front door is propped open. AC is out with no bartenders in sight. We waited about 5 minutes and left. I hope they right the ship. I’d had to go down to 1 bar. 

We drove down the road to BPD and had a pretty nice time. They know how to make an old fashioned. Just tell them to use rye instead of bourbon.
