Ben's Dog House

Amazing bartender Steve made spectacular, delicious drinks for a friend and I. I ordered a strawberry marg, made double shot but you can make adjustments if youd like. 2nd drink I ordered was a mojito made perfectly! Jazz/r&b music to complement the soothing atmosphere. Thank you for having us!

Dean’s: Haunted in Theory, Cocktails in Practice Advertise anything as haunted and I’ll show up with bells on, a credit card in hand, and absolutely zero skepticism. So naturally, Dean’s had me at haunted. The space itself is charming enough. Think speakeasy vibes, cozy booth seating, vintage couches, animal-print chairs, dim lighting, and the sort of atmosphere that whispers, “something spooky happened here once” while charging $16 for a cocktail. The drinks were decent, the ambiance was fun, and the crowd seemed to be enjoying themselves. As for the ghosts? Unfortunately, the only spirits I encountered were the ones being poured behind the bar. Don’t get me wrong—it’s a perfectly pleasant place for a drink. But if you’re hoping for spectral apparitions, mysterious cold spots, or a Victorian ghost named Eleanor dramatically appearing in a mirror, you may leave slightly disappointed. Still, I checked it off the list. And let’s be honest: if another bar claims to be haunted tomorrow, I’ll probably be there too. Four stars for atmosphere. Zero stars for paranormal participation. Five stars for successfully taking my money.

I had not been here since it reopened and i love the new curated drink menu! Tips are included in the total cost. The staff is still amazing and quick to get orders out even when packed. The DJ (Pablo Diablo or something) they had that night was playing great music my friends and i danced the entire time we were there. They had the FIFA game projecting on the wall making it a nice spot with no cover charge to watch the game. We planned to just stop by for a quick drink but the vibes were so great we stayed the entire time!

Had a live 3 piece jazz band playing. Zipped in and out rather quickly. Lots of mannequins all over

Steve is the man. Made me feel like I was visiting a buddy’s house. Made my first visit to Houston so welcoming. Every drink he made was the best version of it. A true master of his craft. 10/10
