I sat at the bar and Nigel was my bartender - AMAZING! He was attentive throughout and very knowledgeable about the menu, the food offerings in the building and the area. A true asset to Lyric Bar! I would definitely revisit.

This high-energy place is a great place to meet people or unwind. You have a selection of food and drinks if your choice. The location is scenic and convenient for a walk around the area. The atmosphere is great inside and on the patio. You will find something you like here.

I love to study here. The sushi is always awesome and the bar is always inviting. More often than not I am also here for happy hour and wine with the Spanish guitar guy.

Came here after a comedy show on a Friday night but it was pretty empty when I arrived. there were 3 couples at the bar all with drinks. I sat waiting for about 15 min before I was approached by one of the bartenders. I ordered 2 drinks and a large party came in with about 8 people, they received their drinks before me. At this point I was there for 30 min before I received my first drink. My friend paid for this round and I wanted to order more drinks. I kept looking at the bartender to try to get either one of their attention and had no luck. in the 25 minutes we sat there with empty drinks neither bartender approached us at any point in time.

Slowest service on a Saturday night. 15 minutes to take my order and 25 minutes to bring me a martini from the tap.

Rahvin is a great attentive bartender. The drinks come quickly, the food is expensive but usually worth the price, and and there s always a crowd Friday night. 10/10 great place to drink after work.

We visited the food hall and had no idea there was a bar inside! We were skeptical due to it being in a food hall! We were very pleasantly surprised. We sat at the bar and Andy took care of us! Had a wonderful conversation. He was very knowledgeable about the spirits and made my hubby an old fashioned. My hubby is very picky about his drinks and it was made perfectly! Added bonus is they have HHR! It really is a great place and we will definitely be back and have already told a few of our friends!

Honestly, the bar was shockingly good for a food hall. Great spirits, knowledgeable staff and really prompt service tell me Ill be back soon! Side note, we also shared food from 1929 Po Boy Kitchen and the Sushi. Both were also incredible.

Andy is a master craftsman. What an excellent surprise to find this place in the middle of a food court. Do yourself a favor and come here for an excellent Manhattan and other craft cocktails. And definitely give the Baja Sazerac a try!

The customer service was absolutely horrible. The bartenders did not greet themselves & ignored us & we even put or card on file. In the picture above is the manager who needs a class on customer service & team management because he did nothing after us complaining about the service of the bartenders. We had to send a drink back because it was absolutely disgusting & that alone took 15 minutes for them to do. The place barely had anyone inside there s no excuse for the service to be as poor as it was. However, Mama s BQQ was absolutely incredible!

The bar was a good vibe and experience. Picture an after-work decompression spot with music and lots of people unwinding after a long days work. They had a live jazz artist. My husband loved the Mission Burger drink which is their rendition of a Moscow Mule.

Inventive cocktails in a bright, open space in the heart of Houston s Theatre District. Very well designed cocktail menu. The Baja Sazerac and Nitro Boulevardier have been favorites, and I m looking forward to trying more. Perfect spot to enjoy drinks before or after a show. Bonus for being able to order from any of Lyric Market s wonderful food vendors without ever leaving your seat at the bar!

There are many cool places in downtown Houston, but the Rhapsody Bar really stands out among our busy bar scene. Great location, exceptional service and they totally have an ace up their sleeves with their great mixologist Andy who also manages the bar. Great wine and beer list, and really delicious craft cocktails, and very delicious food available in the immediate food court. I happened to be there during the World Cup and they had crafted amazing cocktails to celebrate the occasion. Really love this bar!

We really enjoyed the drinks, and the space was really nice as well. Definitely a good place to grab a bite and some beverages!

I had a great experience at this gem in Downtown. The bar is beautiful and the cocktails are delicious. So many good food choices. I ate at the sushi bar and it was great! Right across the street from the Theatre. If you purchase a drink or food your parking is free for up to 2 hours!

What a delight to have a good bar again within walking distance of the theaters! Great service and lots of options from local breweries and distillers. Didnt get food on this stop, but you can also order from all of the vendors at Lyric food hall! Will definitely be back
