Love Mkt Bar. The food and drinks are great, gelato too. But it's the ambiance and live entertainment that make this a very pleasant experience. Doesn't hurt that Phoenicia is steps away, I can get yummy food and wine from all over the world that I can't get anywhere else in Houston I love this place.
Visited with my family while visiting Houston this past weekend and had an unexpected feast. All the appetizers from the cucumber salad to the hummus, muhammara, and the pita chips that went with them were great, they even had queso. The cucumber salad was BAE. For the main course we had chicken and lamb shawarma platters which I could eat all day. They came with a side of zaatar seasoned fries with garlic aioli and Moroccan ketchup as dipping sauces. The deserts were amazing as well. The Dark Night Creme Brûlée was a chocolate creme Brûlée with Turkish coffee infused into the carmalized crust. Gigi’s Banana Pudding comes in an individual mason jar with home made whip and waffers as well as a caramlized banana on top and the pudding was a perfect consistency too. Definitely will return for future visits and to explore the import grocery store connected to the bar.
This place is awesome! Came for my birthday party on Saturday night, they have $5 drink specials and a super fun DJ, DJ Tempty, who spins vinyl 60s and 70s funk....love DJ Tempty!!!
Called ahead and they reserved us the 3 big long tables closest to the DJ. We didn't have to pay to reserve them and were on separate checks, which made it super easy for me!! I had a great night and my guests seemed to really enjoy it too. Several commented that I picked a great place and it was classy and nice. Also - they have a parking garage behind the building, so even though it's downtown nobody has to hunt for parking!! The waitress was also really nice and did a great job! Overall awesome night!!

It was Girls Night Out for my bestie & we truly enjoyed ourselves from the food queso & pita chips to the fish & chips & let’s not forget about the Pomegranate Mimosas (the buzz sneaks upon you)...the atmosphere, the staff & the music was great. First time but definitely not my last time
Chicken and waffles were the best!! Yummy plantains and chimichurri sauce too!! Great atmosphere and really cool place to hangout.
Great Place. Fantastic food and Drink!! A “must go” place on my list.
The food and service was excellent! The food was prepared well. The steak in my salad was juicy tender and required little chewing. Out waiter was nice and attentive
The Chicken and waffles are fabulous, Brian Anthony was spectacular and the dancing was so much fun! Shopping at the market was awesome too. Great food items. Lots of chocolate!

Amazing service. Great atmosphere. Superb service. Delicious beers on draft (Rhubarb hard cider is my current favorite). And Tuesday/Thursday steak night bring me life!!!! I’ve never had a bad experience!
Great first time experience. I love the atmosphere, the friendly staff, and great food and drinks!
Would definately recommend this place. Only wish I lived closer so I could visit more often.
Great atmosphere. Limited menu. The sweet potato fries are SO good. The drinks are delicious. If course it's downtown so really no free parking, but there are lots of paid garages in the area
Seated quickly in a nice, spacious spot for a trio and a baby. Good, service with knowledgeable waiter. Good menu and drink selection. (With the exception of the Margarita...would not suggest it) Cozy, chill vibe. Nice, interesting decor. Clean restrooms. Favorite place to go after Toyota Center event or visit to Discovery Green.
Food was killer!! There was a lady playing music on the stage acoustic made for a nice dinner! The service was fast and friendly! This was our first time there and we will be back for sure!
We had shared latte's listening to some smooth jazz in a beautiful atmosphere, calming vibes and friendly staff. Our waiter Bryan was delightful and attentive.
Staff was amazing!! Sour beer to kick conversation. They were attentive and pleasurable! Menu made for good eats!! Beer. Wine. And mimosas for why not! I'll be coming back here in a couple weeks. Thus place made the repeat list
Food is generally good but not outstanding. Atmosphere is often crowded and loud. Tables are Formica with metal chairs. On our visit w 10 friends, mgmt refused to do separate checks, a modest hassle. Server brought incorrect drinks and incorrectly identified them. Salads and main course were brought almost together. In all, they aren’t real serious about being a restaurant.
Pretty nice place for drinks and food. I had fish and chips. It was very tasty. The waitress suggested salmon too :)

Brunch section of menu may seem small, but they're okay. Great value if you just want to chill. Coffee and juice are the best and the staff are incredibly excellent! Food is good, but not always the greatest, but never the worst, but I haven't tried the other items so I can't really speak for the other food items, but at least the scrambled eggs are about better than what I expected, and I usually don't care too much about scrambled eggs. If you like food, you're probably better checking out the grocery store connected to this place before ordering them here. But if you're curious about the food here, go ahead, you might find something you like. Overall, great place for the value you get and if you love coffee, this could be your place.
EDIT: The zaatar fries are so thin and soggy, they don't dip in the garlic aioli. Service is excellent so they replaced it. I expected so much from MKT Bar but it seems their food items are either hits or misses. Gelato are great, mac and cheese is awesome, and of course, all the drinks I tried so far are top notch. Not saying MKT Bar is bad but I wished they could work on their food items more, especially if they're owned by Phoenicia and they sell better food than MKT Bar does. But other than that, MKT Bar is excellent for cold drinks and gelato.
Got the half chicken and my friend got the NyStrip. Great service from George! Check out the store, also!
I also got the Hibiscus Berry Tea Berry Wine, super light flavor ad a great refresher in this hot Houston heat!

I had the MKT salad with salmon and it was absolutely delicious! It had romaine, cucumber slices, red grapes, the salmon had an amazing crust on top it and was very flavorful!
This place is really nice, the ambiance is really enjoyable. The play good music, and some days even have live music. The place is super spacious so it's good for small and large parties (10+). They have booth, low and high chairs seating. The have really good appetizers and pizza I would recommend the cheese board, ceviche, and the queso. For drinks they have tons of draught beer, and cocktails.... My fav is the mango frozen cocktail. Stuart was our waiter, he was amazing he even remembered us from the day before. Happy hour is Monday, Tuesday and Friday 4-6pm.
Super place. Great food selection and service. Cool vibe with nice music mix. Highly recommend for a causal meal or just to hang out and have a cold refreshment.
SO GOOD!! As an avid cheese enthusiast, I am OBSESSED with their cheese board. I got the Mac and cheese and Austin burger. So amazing! The service was great and there’s a store that has those cheeses so I can eat again and again! 10/10 would definitely come back!
Perfect evenning, after a long day of competing with our robotics teams, we got into a heaven of meat and cheese, while servicing 23 noisy children, the staff made us feel we are alone at the restaurant.
Loved the salads, the meat, the cheese, the pizzas and mkst of all, the bite cheeseburgers.

If I was to move to Houston, I would move to this area to shop here and to go to the Stros games.
This is by far one of my most favorite places to shop at. I have been here numerous times and today's stop, was just to go here. I wish we were closer to participate in the classes, maybe one day.
This is the first time I had their Mac and cheese - BEST EVER outside of a home environment- next time just getting this, SO DELICIOUS!!! I am usually disappointed, even at restaurants and this was not the case.
The workers are great, everything I have had there was great! I passed on desserts this time but I wanted to get something and took these pics and told my husband how I missed this place. I found this market when staying in the area for a month, I buy gifts, food, desserts and now definitely the mac and cheese. The restaurant attached has fabulous food too!
Excellent food. It comes out hot and quick. Everything our group had was highly praised. Parking is plentiful in the garage. It takes a little patience to find the entrance and exits that seem counter-intuitive.
