Best Nightlife in Cypress

"Lest we forget it’s crawfish season, this Creole classic is simmering its Breaux Bridge mudbugs low and slow with the Holy Trinity in a rich, velvety shellfish stock, then pouring enough for two over toasted and fluffed Jazzman rice. Finish it off with some Creole bread pudding drizzled in whiskey sauce for dessert.Cost: $48 (plus $8 for the bread pudding, if you’re going there), call 713-522-9711 for curbside pickup or order via Uber Eats"

"The path from farm to table is a short one at this attractive Heights eatery, which accepts walk-ins only and produces bountiful ingredients from its own onsite garden for dishes like smoked pork with smoked gouda and delicate pillows of ricotta gnocchi dusted with Parmesan and garnished with backyard greens. There’s an inevitable wait any night of the week, but the no-reservation policy isn’t so bad when the herb garden doubles as a lush and serene waiting area. Grab a glass of vino or a Fancy G&T crafted with herbs and lemon oil, and stroll the grounds for a look at bounty of the season."

B&B Butchers and Restaurant."

"At the same time elegant and relaxed, Public Services strikes the right balance between upscale and unpretentious.

They are also dedicated to the drinks they serve, so they offer classes on topics that range from appreciation to casking."

"Art deco-style cocktail bar Public Services is housed on the first floor of the 1884 Cotton Exchange building and carefully preserves its old world charm. The striking arches, gilded accents and plush seating will certainly take any date’s breath away, as will the boutique assortment of wines, beers, ciders and mixed drinks chosen by alcohol ingénue/sommelier Justin Vann and snacks from culinary virtuoso Justin Yu."

Try the house roast — affectionately coined the H-Town roast — or go for the totally Instagrammable donut cappuccino, garnished with a house-made mini donut."

Indeed, this is the best place in town to satisfy a crawfish craving in a no-frills environment."

"When you think of a Chinese buffet, you’ll tend to think of them serving wontons, eggrolls, general tso chicken, orange chicken, and many other essential Chinese dishes. However Hibachi Grill & Buffet takes it a step up by serving not only the popular Chinese dishes, but also the lesser known items as well. You have so many options to choose from, for instance the Sushi area where they make freshly served sushi or even the huge dim sum area where you can get some of the tastiest dim sum a buffet can offer."

"In the afternoon, head to one of Houston’s local breweries – 8th Wonder and Saint Arnold’s are two of the best around. Hang out in the beer hall or patio and catch up with some friends. If you’re looking for a larger variety of beverages, check out Axelrad, a beer garden in Midtown with hammocks, dog friends, and a local food truck or two. No weekend in Houston is complete without a visit to Rice University, so after having your fill, (responsibly) make your way there for a sunset light show spectacle at the Turrell Skyspace."

"8th Wonder Brewery may have only been open for about six years in the Sugarland area, but it’s already recognized as one of the best TX breweries. Its signature beers, like Dome Faux’m and Rocket Fuel can now be found on tap walls and store shelves all across the region. Soon they’ll be opening a companion distillery that will provide opportunities for further growth and more tasty handcrafted beverages."

"Like many cities across the country, Houston has felt the quakes of the recent craft-beer boom. This brewery, in particular, happens to be my favorite. Named after the now defunct Astrodome (which many consider to be the 8th architectural wonder of the modern world), 8th Wonder’s beers are like the spirit of the city hoppified."
