    Bar Doko is a fun experience for people who want a more unique experience from the typical offerings here in Houston. A lot of their cocktails lean on more umami flavors, and highlights the Japanese influence this bar incorporates. That being said, some people may not enjoy that approach, but for those that do, will have a fun and unique experience. They source very specific ingredients for their drinks and quality shows in the taste. I highly recommend the "ei" eternity cocktail, which incorporates a wagyu fat wash with the whiskey and is apparent in the overall flavor of the drink, alongside the mushroom garnish complimenting the umami flavors. The imo negroni is a fun spin on the familiar compari bitterness with a sweet potato spin. Will definitely come back and try other items soon!

    One of Houston’s newest cocktail bars but, it’s more than your average bar it’s an bespoke experience like no other in the city. The 16 seat layout, Japanese inspired decor and uber crafty cocktails are the new gold standard for libations in the City! Reservations are a must!!!

    Small setting with detail oriented service of unique cocktails we haven’t experienced before. Cocktail curators are happy to share the ideas behind each Japanese inspired creation. Not a place to dine but the review wouldn’t allow me to leave blank. Plenty of dining options around this Autry Park location. You won’t be disappointed if you enjoy unique cocktail experiences.

    Music is way too loud. It’s an intimate conversational cocktail bar, patrons shouldn’t have to compete with the music to speak.

    Finally, there’s a bar in town where the service level matches those I’ve experienced in Asia. The menu is creative, and you can really feel the unique style and vision they aim to express. Highly recommended!
