Around the Corner

Wonderful brunch in a great atmosphere! And I love anywhere with a great patio that we can take the dog :)

I walked in and lil flip was playing, instantly loved the place. Houston rap. Also, the bartender was funny and informative– Joseph

Walking distance from my house, check. Dog friendly, double check. $ 4 beers for happy hour from 4 – 7 during the week, double dang. Bartenders all seem friendly, patios are both nice and the back one big so you can spread out. As is the inside, I didn’t expect it to be as large as it is, but you can either hangout with people at the bar or split off into a corner room.
Visiting on Sunday it seems they have a lot of food/​brunch options, though It was also my understanding you could order grub whenever they’re open typically. Finally, they serve coffee too if you’re not looking to imbibe. No one else has mentioned that in a single review.

Sweet little neighborhood spot on the edge of downtown with local beers and great city view

Popped in for happy hour and steak night before a concert. A little dim inside but could be due to the rain. Ordered some beers and waited for our food to come out. The steak itself was tasty, not perfect, but what do you expect since its a bar. The scalloped potatoes and salad were good sides. Don’t waste your time on ordering the pizza. The Texan pizza looked like it was just a frozen Tony’s pizza with jalapeño, red onion, and bbq sauce added on top. Definitely not worth $ 15. Overall loved the décor, bartenders were nice, skip the food, come for drinks.

Came here a few weeks ago on a beautiful Saturday for brunch with a group of friends. This place is located in Eado with nice views of Downtown, which you’re able to view from their back patio. They are located right next to District 7 Grill, note**: DO NOT park in District 7’s large parking lot or you will be towed! There are a few parking spots right outside ATC and also parking spots directly across the street, if not there is also free street parking in the neighborhood.
There is both an outdoor front porch as well as a bigger back porch area to lounge around on and sip on some cocktails. The inside has a full bar and a few tables and chairs as well– very cute and cozy. Perfect place to hang out with friends and grab some drinks.
Unfortunately, they no longer serve brunch on Saturday’s (contrary to what their website says) but you are still able to order food from their small plates menu and there was also a burger food truck outside as well if you’re super hungry. That day I had a burger from the food truck (white cheddar burger I believe) and it was delicious! I also had a few pieces of cheese from my friend’s meat and cheese platter and it was good! FYI– there is no waiter service so you must order at the bar and they will give you a number and bring out your food when it’s ready.
Although they don’t serve brunch on Saturday’s they still have mimosa’s and bloody mary’s on their menu– I had the Bloody and it was good! They also have a specialty cocktail menu and I recommend the Kentucky Buck if you like bourbon! It was a bit crowded that afternoon and it definitely took time to order drinks but be patient, these cocktails take time to make but they are worth the wait!
Another important note– be careful on a hot, sunny day if you are sitting on the outside back patio. Their metal tables are scorching hot if they are directly in the sun– I’m sure you can fry an egg on top of them! The staff is so friendly and thoughtful, they saw we were melting out in the sun and brought out an umbrella so our table could be shaded. That definitely helps so don’t hesitate to ask if you need some shade (or just hang out inside). Another plus that I love about this place– it’s dog friendly so feel free to bring your pups. They even have doggie water bowls available– just ask!

Met some friends here a couple weeks ago for lunch and day drinks. The place is dog friendly and that is a super plus in my book. Automatic two stars, lol. A must try is the strawberry basil margarita, very refreshing and light. Their bloody Marys are strong and spicy, a plus for me! I could drink many of those. I would add olives in mine, but that’s just a personal preference.
The food truck that hangs there cranked out one of the most delectable burgers I’ve had in a very long time. Cooked to medium, pink inside, buttery bun, fried egg, and super tasty fries (which is hard to do so I have noticed in a lot of places). I had a taste of my friend’s vege burger, other than being a bit salty for my taste, the patty was really good.
The sun had come out and was boiling, but then they put out the umbrellas and oh my goodness, relief. Lol. Even the dogs rejoiced. The only frown was the metal tables out on a patio. My only hope is no one gets burned from them baking in the summer Texas sun.

I’ve only been here 10min and I already love this place. Great atmosphere, hot bartender Joe and this sexy rhubarb cocktail he mixed.

This is a great spot in EADO, with a great drink menu and atmosphere. Bartenders are nice and know how to mix a great drink. Definitely try this place if you are in the neighborhood.

Went for the first time — Eado is my hood. Had the rustic pizza and it was sooo good. I can’t wait to hit their brunch and Thursday night steak special. Joseph was my bartender and he was so sweet. Cool music, cool vibe. A must do.

That back patio! The most Instagram-​worthy time to visit Around the Corner and nab a backdrop of downtown with some mural art AND those bare string of lights: dusk/​sunset.
This cozy bungalow-​turned-​bar is adjacent to the former free-​standing Kim Son ballroom in EaDo where the Houston Hue Mural Fest happened. The service is friendly but be patient as the ratio of patrons: bartenders/​kitchen is pretty off. There’s ample parking. Notice how I haven’t mentioned the drinks yet? Intentional. My Kentucky Buck was alright but that’s fine since the prices weren’t completely jacked up like many up and coming places; we were still on single digits. I chose this place to hang with friends and for the view and not necessarily the drinks.

This is absolutely an amaze balls place. You must try it. If you don’t like it I will pay your bill tomorrow.

This place is great for brunch! The book orange mimosas are really delicious and the Bloody Mary was spicy! Etta’s Little Kitchen’s brunch selection is focused. Few dishes, very well executed. The brunch plate was great, and the BLTA is pretty awesome. The DJ played cool
Music, the patio is very nice! We will continue to come back for brunch.
Came on a Thursday for steak night! Delicious! We had the steak and frites for $ 17; it was worth it. I also found out that the bar has good even when Etta’s is not there, yay! Pizzas and bites available. Happy hour from 4 – 7. Around The Corner is a cool spot! Come on down !!!
Stopped by late on a Saturday night for cocktails. Great service! The blood orange margarita is SO good!

What a cute lil cocktail spot in EaDo. The décor looks like something plucked straight out of a chic, youthful spread of Southern Living. That’s a compliment — because I really dig the atmosphere (and the mag).
On a Saturday night, it wasn’t too busy — considering it’s rodeo season and, well, the oil industry isn’t doing too well so not many places are that full these days. Still, the two bartenders were swamped and it took a good while to get served. My Moscow mule wasn’t anything amazing, but I’ll certainly return to check out some other items that struck my interest.
There is a front porch-​style patio, bar and indoor seating — and DON’T miss out on the back patio. It’s like you’re at your friend’s bungalow house in The Heights … only with a view of Downtown.
I heart Houston.

Best patio ever ! Great brunch location and its sooooo cute ! You must try the hummus plate and the pizzas are delishhhhhh !!!

Great place to have brunch and enjoy a few drinks with your friends. I love the outdoor area and the laid back atmosphere. For brunch I had the migas and my husband had the breakfast burger, both were delicious. Definitely going back there.

My review is long overdue! I’ve been stopping by Around The Corner since they opened and have enjoyed every visit — whether it’s a laid back afternoon or high energy night out. These folks can be depended on to show you a great time with their hospitality and stellar beverages.
My hands-​down favorite drink is their Moscow Mule. I think their addition of ginger liquor makes a real difference. Every other mixed drink they have made me has been excellent as well.
The feel of the place is nice. I love the décor and love the jukebox even more! They’ve got a great back and front porch that manage a downtown view with a small town feel. I think it’s a lovely escape from the usual rolling chair and beige walls so many of us are used to each day.
Most of all, Around the Corner has joined the community. They host events — like bingo night — and always remember you! Stop by for a wonderful time!

A friend and I decided to visit this place for brunch as well as to watch the Texans game and we had no complaints. Perfect cozy little bar for a quiet night or a quick brunch. It is nestled in an area that is not too transited yet but I am sure in the years to come as East End continues to expand this place will start to get more business.
There are about 4 – 5 TVs within the bar and sitting area. Bar tender was attentive and although the brunch menu is small, each of the 6 (roughly) options sounded really good! Backdoor patio looked to have a ping pong table, if I am not mistaking.

Great place, very chill, great prices on drinks and the staff is very friendly. Changed the channel multiple times for us without complaint. I can see being a regular here.

This is a super relaxed comfortable bar. The atmosphere dark and perfect for date night! The bartender Joseph is the man with the plan. He will make you the best specialty drink! They have a good selection of local craft beers! If you are looking for a new chill spot. Take the time to check it out!
