Back when Houston Heights was dry, the drinks kept flowing. Secret clubs. Low lights. Lively gatherings. You had to be in the know. We’re keeping that spirit alive, just without the hush-hush. Introducing Bar Daphne — a modern neighborhood cocktail bar in the heart of The Heights. No password required. It’s everything you want in a neighborhood bar: welcoming service, bold cocktails, killer bar bites. Right on the corner of Ashland and 20th. All kindred spirits welcome. The cocktails? They’ve got stories. Named after the original modern paintings hanging throughout the space. Come enjoy a beer, a glass of wine, and zero-proof options as well. And while you’re here, grab a bite. We’ve got something to snack on, something to share. Our doors open at 5 PM nightly. Stop in anytime. Leave in good spirits.

Enjoy an easy morning or late night craving by taking advantage of our renowned room service. Slip on a robe and stay in bed to enjoy. We’ll be right there. To order, call our front desk by dialing 0.

Tucked into the heart of Houston Heights, our full-service Italian restaurant and lounge offers an elevated escape—serving aperitivo-style cocktails and housemade pasta from Chef Terrence Gallivan. A true neighborhood gathering spot, we feature a roving tableside mozzarella cart, lumache alla vodka, squid ink radiatori, Duroc pork Milanese, and pistachio pie. We’re always aperitifs, sun-drenched patios, al fresco dining, and lively conversation. Our doors are open to all looking for a good time. Join us for breakfast, lunch, dinner, weekend brunch, or happy hour.
