A Slew of Very Cool Cocktail Bars Dominate June Openings in Houston
1120 Dennis Street in Houston Why vacation in Tulum when Tulum is available in Houston? Tago, located in Midtown, offers dinner service with a menu featuring items such as pulpo served over hominy with savory tomatillo sauce, a duck mole tostada, ceviche, spicy watermelon and tuna aguachile, as well as adobo chicken, filet steak, and mushroom risotto. There is also a summery cocktail menu with drinks including a Mango Suave (gin, mango, lime, and sugar) and the French Kiss (vodka, Chambord, lime, and pear, served with a bottle of prosecco). It's also a late-night spot — some might say club — with bottle service. The dark interiors feature velvet couches surrounding tables, a spot-lit bar, and a tree growing from the center of the room. Outside is a patio with light wood furniture that looks like a wonderful resort escape. 4520 Washington Avenue in Houston Straight out of the mind of Abbas Dhanani, founder of Burger Bodega, comes a pop-up that Houston needs this summer: Bas's Cheesesteaks. The first pop-up will happen on Monday, June 30, at 11 a.m. and go until it sells out, with more dates to be announced on social media. Dhanani said in a press release that he wanted to honor cheesesteak culture in Philadelphia, while bringing it to Houston — and that cheesesteaks are his favorite sandwich. Diners should try the Bas (white cheese and sliced rib-eye beef on a seeded hoagie roll with or without onions). 18207B Egret Bay Boulevard in Houston Making sushi accessible to all is the mission of this restaurant and its executive chef, Leo Hirai. Hand rolls from the menu are made fresh to order; options include classics like tuna and salmon, as well as items such as spicy scallop and lobster. It also offers curated hand roll sets to make ordering easier for those who are new to sushi. Located down by NASA, this strip mall outlet has a sushi counter with swivel stools, and the color scheme of tan and red is punctuated by adorable art of kittens cuddling with rolls of sushi. 1815 North Durham Drive in Houston The owners are the folks behind now-closed Flying Fish slipped this ad-hoc bar into the same space in the Greater Heights area. The new operation is serving beers from the Flying Saucer Draught Emporium and, for opening, burgers from Rodeo Goat, both businesses also owned by the team behind the Kid (who were also behind the now-closed Meddlesome Moth in Dallas). Though this bar opened back in April, per a report on it is hosting its official opening party now. One interesting note: To keep it adult, kids are not allowed in after 7 p.m. 1226 West Clay Street in Houston After closing in Spring Branch, this inventive cocktail bar is back at a new location between River Oaks and Montrose. It shares a space with Emma Jane, making it a tea house by day and cocktail bar by night. Imbibe exotic cocktails like the Operation: White Flame (vodka, dry vermouth, Earl Grey, and caviar), an Ottoman Fashion (Scotch, coffee, cardamom, and fig), or the Culture Exchange (reposado tequila, pineapple, and miso agave). There are also small bites, including a Crudo 'Hot Pot' featuring wagyu and Hawai'i shrimp with a warm and savory custard, Morel Sunomono with preserved wild mushrooms in chilled dashi, and the KFC: Korean fried chicken with peanut sauce, Maggi aioli, and citrus-cured fennel. 4500 Montrose Boulevard in Houston An immersive tiki bar is coming to Montrose, in the back of Betelgeuse, on July 2. Created by Chris Cusack and Brian Dibala, the space aims to 'represent the space between death and vacation,' per a press release, with decor that brings the hyper reality of the movie Betelgeuse to mind, and certainly owes a debt to filmmaker Tim Burton. Drinks include options like Brown Butter Rum Old Fashioned (brown butter fat-washed Planteray and Smith and Cross, rich paradise syrup, blended bitters), This Sunset Should be Illegal (mezcal, acid-adjusted orange juice, orange liqueur lime punch syrup, fassionola) for $17, and a Pistachio Mai Tai (Probitas, El Dorado 8, and Hamilton 151 rums, house pistachio orgeat, orange liqueurs, lime, fire, and a pretty flower). It will only hold 50 people at a time, and reservations will go live on Resy at any minute — you'll want to snap one up. 2102 North Shepherd Drive in Houston The Heights lands a cute spot selling shave ice and frozen cocktails. Owned by Shawn Bermudez and Matthew Pak of the Burger Joint, this place has a menu of Hawai'i-style shave ice that includes flavors such as Coco Loco (blue coconut and lime syrup, sweetened condensed milk drizzle, mochi, toasted coconut flakes, and a coconut ice cream base), Aloha Island (blue coconut and passion fruit syrups, sweetened condensed milk drizzle, mochi, toasted coconut flakes, and a vanilla ice cream base), and Happy Rainbow (strawberry, pineapple, and vanilla syrups with strawberry and pineapple puree, sweetened condensed milk drizzle, fresh strawberries and pineapple, rainbow mochi, and a vanilla ice cream base). There are also frozen cocktails, such as the Very Piña Colada (a frozen piña colada topped with blue coconut and pineapple shave ice), strawberry frosé, and Island Dream (a frozen Miami Vice topped with passion fruit and pineapple shave ice).

Brown-Forman Stock Plunges as Jack Daniel's Maker Warns of Economic Challenges
Brown-Forman said it faces a challenging operating environment this year, and shares sank to a more than 11-year low. The maker of Jack Daniel's whiskey and other alcoholic beverages warned about the impact of macroeconomic volatility, soft consumer demand, tariffs, and sales of used barrels. Fiscal fourth-quarter profit and sales missed (BF.B) was the worst-performing stock in the S&P 500 Thursday after the maker of Jack Daniel's whiskey warned about a "challenging" economic outlook this year. The company that also has brands such as Woodford Reserve, Chambord, and Korbel predicted the operating environment in fiscal 2026 will have "low visibility due to macroeconomic and geopolitical volatility as we face headwinds from consumer uncertainty, the potential impact from currently unknown tariffs, and lower non-branded sales of used barrels." Brown-Forman sees both full-year organic sales and organic operating income to drop by a low-single-digit percent. CEO Lawson Whiting said Brown-Forman faced "softening consumer demand" as well as "an exceptionally challenging macroeconomic environment," and that it expects "continued headwinds." The company reported fiscal 2025 fourth-quarter earnings per share of $0.31, with revenue falling 7% year-over-year to $894 million. Both were short of Visible Alpha forecasts. Shares of Brown-Forman sank more than 15% in recent trading to their lowest level since September 2013.

Snack, sip and sing at Boston's new underground piano bar
Spend your next night out in Boston nursing some martinis and weenies while singing your heart out to hit songs. Boston's new underground piano bar, called The 88 Club, made its debut on May 2. The reimagined piano bar took over the former karaoke bar that used to be located in the basement of Kings in Back Bay. Named for the 88 keys of the piano, the recently renovated space features new furniture — with neon lights and disco ball accents — and a new menu of small bites and beverages. The 88 Club's menu features several creative cocktails such as the Pardon My French (Corvus Vodka, Chambord, pineapple juice), Dirty Little Dill (Ketel One, Grillo's Pickle Juice, Vermouth) and 1996 Appletini (Apple vodka, sour apple liqueur, lemon Juice). Order them separately or as part of the 'Tinis & Weenies' option that comes with a trio of miniature signature martinis, cocktail hot dogs and dipping sauce. Those hungry for more can get the Three Tier Snack Tower, Bottomless Popcorn or Tiramisu, which is appropriately served in a martini glass. The 88 Club also has a rotating roster of musicians playing popular songs from top 40 hits to Disney classics. Musicians will either choose their own songs to play or take requests from audience members. Requests can be made by writing down suggestions on a sheet of paper and handing it (preferably with a cash tip) to the player. A calendar of upcoming events can be found online. The 88 Club is open from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday, and is located at 50 Dalton St. in Boston. The piano bar can be accessed either through the Dalton Street entrance next to El Barco or from inside Kings.
