Mèo Bar - Houston, Texas

Fantastic Asian Inspired Speakeasy in the Heights.
I came here as stop over for a cocktail before heading off to dinner. But then, I ended up trying all their dumplings!

Excellent menu and delicious dumplings and appetizers!

I highly recommend the brussel sprouts and the brisket wasabi dumplings.

The ambiance is a solid 10/10 and the bar seating is comfortable. I especially appreciate the booth seating along the walls. This is a great date spot or a starting spot before an evening out.

The staff was very pleasant and they were quick with the drinks.

I returned for a second visit already and I loved the ambiance even more that second trip.

Total ticket was very reasonable.

…pretty disappointing experience.
Hidden speakeasy inside Wokker. When we ring the bell - nobody opened the door - we had to wait until some customer left and opened the door.
The interior and atmosphere is pretty “trippy”. The lights and the music let you feel a bit like on mushrooms. Fun but also very simple…this is not an upscale place at all.
The worst thing about this bar are the drinks. The Yule old fashioned had a very weird taste and it was so bad that I couldn’t even finish half of it. Also the Meo Gin Tonic had strange aftertaste and was overall not a tasty gin tonic at all.
I also cannot recommend kimchi dumplings - the kimchi is not a real kimchi. It was more like some poorly marinated cabbage. The dumpling filling not flavorful.

We arrived and it took a minute for the bartender to get the door (they should make it so the door opens up by it self instead of having the busy bartender open the door each time people arrive) we sat down, looked at the menu and the bartender let us know to order at the bar. They bring the drinks and food to your table. The cocktails are great, the food not so much IMO. The dumplings are the only food items that are salvageable. The prices are average.

Awesome speakeasy. It's very chill, creative, and entertaining. Staff is friendly, and the flavors are unique.

I enjoyed the decor, and the food is pretty good. Especially if you like creative dumplings. I highly recommend trying the brisket Wasabi dumplings. Some critiques I have were the Kimchi butter dumplings needed a little refinement (they were a bit bland), and the timing between ordering food and receiving was a bit disappointing. It was IMO way too long, unless they were making them from scratch. However, I am a Patient customer, and I was enjoying my drink and company.

I really enjoyed the Salty Kitty Cocktail and the Pandamonium. They have many more to try!

Come see for yourself!

What a cute speakeasy! Tucked inside a Chinese restaurant, this unsuspecting bar is such a treat to discover.

On top of that, the drinks were exciting and delicious! I had the matcha gin drink which blended so much more perfectly than I could have imagined. Also tried the salty kitty; a little too sweet for me but love the contrast and creativity of the salty foam and sweet drink underneath.

Bartenders are knowledgeable, helpful and playfully sassy. Great convo and insight on the menu.

Don't tell anyone about this place so we can keep it to ourselves! We'll be back soon for dumplings!!

Loveeee the vibes here and the food is good too. My favorite is the spicy rice rolls and their Lychee martini is a fave of mine. It can get busy on the weekends but during the week is pretty chill with good music in the background.

We went on a Saturday night and the place was pretty packed. There were one or two cocktail servers(one of which doubled up as a bartender), and one actual bartender. The speed of service was still decent.

I ordered the Yuzu Paloma and Brenda’s Violet Hour. Both drinks were good, but nothing to be excited about. The squid ink siu mai stole the show here. Luckily we were able to snatch the last order! I’m more inclined to return just to try all the food.

Finally the wait over ! Meo bar opened back up and blew me away for a second time ! Their non alcohol ? drinks were great and had a nice balance. My friend got a lychee cocktail which was always delicious. The food belongs on the Michelin guide ! The pork belly plate and steamed fish with tamarin sauce were phenomenal and left me very satisfied. 100/100
