The drinks and the food was amazing!!! Let’s talk about the service though... my bartender was Nayah and she was amazing. But let’s talk about the person that never gets recognized the server support .. the servers can’t do their job without the servers support and Lonnie was amazing as I sat at the bar .:l watched as he made sure the bartenders had everything they need including ice... because I had 20 glasses I highly recommend this place if you are older in age for a nice vibe... no drama .. I will be back and this was my first time here... Robin finished us out because Nyah shift was over and ladies check him out ... he will recommend a drink to what you like .

One of my friends called an audible to meet here and I did not regret it. They are located in midtown I think. Parking is paid right behind their building or a block away at the Breakfast Club. I think they are both owner by the same person. Also if you order food it will come from the Breakfast kitchen. Drinks are strong and you need to get there early if you want to get a seat. There was a DJ this nite and he had the place vibing with his music. They fill up quickly as the night goes on. There is a front bar where you enter from Main Street and a rear bar where you can enter from the back as well as a nice size patio. Definitely a place to connect with lots of people. There were definitely lots of eye candy there.

Came to alleykat and my bartender was Alex. The food was great and so were the vibes. What really stood out to me was the service! Alex was attentive, speedy and had a great personality. I can’t wait to come back!

My experience at the Alley Kat in Houston, TX was absolutely amazing. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with outstanding service by Nyah and Chyna. They were both so friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. The atmosphere at the Alley Kat was perfect for a night out with friends. The music was great and really added to the vibe of the place. The food was also delicious – I highly recommend trying some of the dishes on their menu. One hidden jewel I discovered during my visit was the Breakfast Club. This spot within the Alley Kat offers even more to explore and enjoy. I won't give too much away, but I definitely recommend checking it out for yourself. My experience at Alley Kat was one to remember. If you're looking for a place to relax, chill, and have a good time, this is definitely the spot for you. Stop by and see all that it has to offer – you won't be disappointed. @Alleykathou

Great time at the Alley Kat! I love the indoor/outdoor experience and great music. Whatever vibe you are looking for you can find it at this one place! They even have a hookah lounge area with a TV that’s more relaxed and good for small talk! They stayed til the perfect time 11:00pm! Park in the garage near by for easy access, safe parking, and it’s inexpensive! Lastly the Espresso Martini made with Beyonce Sir cognac was delicious!
