Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Pearland

"This bustling New Orleans restaurant is a scene-setter for sinister nights with its old-school elegance and big time. Start with a selection from their award-winning wine list and then move on to some Creole classics. We recommend sizzling soup to begin with; count on us."

"Kata Robata prides itself on being Houston’s premier sushi and Japanese tapas restaurant featuring an exclusive menu from Executive Chef Manabu ‘Hori’ Horiuchi. When it opened in 2010, Kata Robata changed the face of sushi dining in Houston: blending both traditional and modern Japanese cuisine, the grilled meats, vegetables, and sushi ae prepared with great care and guaranteed to be the freshest they can be. For a signature meal try the chawan mushi, ramen, or donburri, unless you feel like attempting the lobster mac and cheese."

"Despite what we’ve been led to believe, sushi is less about the fish and more about the rice. Proper attention to details like temperature, packing, and vinegar-flavor are just as important as that buttery toro you love so much. And no one pays more attention to detail than the brilliant Chef Manabu Horiuchi, aka Hori-san."

"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."

"Situated next to a vegetable garden, Coltivare is a warm and cozy spot with wood fired pizzas and other mouth watering appetizers and entrees. While it can be a bit of a wait for a table, it’s more than worth it."

"What is it: This butcher shop and steakhouse occupies a remodeled 1922-era bakery building that features original wooden beams, exposed brick walls and steel columns. During the day, the attached deli and butcher shop slings sandwiches and house-made cold cuts, while the restaurant offers hamburgers, pastas and salads for lunch. For dinner, the upscale steakhouse serves all the classics but expands the menu with unexpected appetizers, sides and mains."

"Named one of OpenTable’s “Top 100 Steakhouses in America,” this Houston favorite serves Texas and Japanese Wagyu beef as well as in-house dry-aged USDA Prime beef – all hand cut in The Butcher Shop. Order dry-aged Wagyu Rib-eye Steak with a side of the wedge salad and a Peach Melba Sundae for dessert. Delicious sides include Bacon Mac & Cheese, Corn Souffle, and Lobster Whipped Potatoes."

"If you want to enjoy a gorgeous night overlooking the dramatic Houston skyline, look no further than B&B Butchers on Washington Avenue. Steaks here sizzle with goodness!. And don’t forget about brunch."

"This longtime Downtown lounge has a worn-in feel, but still gives the impression of its once glory, with wood paneling, oversized chandeliers, tarnished mirrors, and a real juke box. The cocktails are strong and unfussy, and it is one of the few places in the city to get a proper Grasshopper, the cacao and creme de menthe cocktail that was popular in the 1950s."

"A park that blends aesthetics with functionality is the Arthur Storey Park in Houston, Texas. Nestled next to Vietnamese town and Chinatown, this 2.2-mile loop park showcases the importance of storing the floodwaters with stormwater detention along with catering to the park environment.

"Based at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, the Cockrell Butterfly Center and Brown Hall of Entomology offers visitors a fascinating insight into the world of butterflies and insects. The center features a variety of exhibits, displays and presentations, and is one of the top places to go in Houston. The Rainforest Conservancy, a spectacular three-story glass structure with a 50-foot waterfall filled with exotic plants and living butterflies is especially popular, and vast exhibition halls showcase some of the world’s largest and weirdest arthropods."

"Step into an indoor rainforest at the Houston Museum of Natural Science’s Cockrell Butterfly Center. In a three-story glass structure, you’ll appreciate the spectacle of hundreds of butterflies flitting around. This is one of the best things to do on a rainy day with children in Houston."

"The Houston Museum of Natural Science is Houston’s favorite museum for people of all ages. See the Cullen Hall of Gems & Minerals, take in a show at the planetarium, and definitely stop by the Butterfly Center. General admission is $25 for adults, and $16 for kids."

"Discovery Green is a vibrant 12-acre park in the heart of downtown Houston that provides the public with a beautiful outdoor space in which to relax and participate various outdoor activities. Together, the City of Houston and the non-profit Discovery Green Conservancy opened the park in 2008. Today, Discovery Green presents a variety of dynamic programs, workshops, and events throughout the year that are free and open to the public."

"This urban green space is pretty magical, what with canopies of trees, lush landscaping, Kinder Lake, abstract art (like the art boxes of the “Synchronicity of Color” installation), and lots of park events and activities to ’gram. The options are endless — literally. @themarquishouembedded via"

"Big trees, colorful block walls and lots of sunshine make this another great spot for photos. Parking is paid in lots and metered on the street."

"Address: 3821 Richmond Ave, Houston, Texas, USA Site: http://www.ilovepeppertree.com Phone: 1-713-621-9488 $$. Pepper Tree has been gracing Houston with vegan Asian food since 2004 and there’s a reason why it’s definitely one of the best vegan restaurants in Houston. Family-owned and operated, you’ll feel like family once you step inside this spacious and welcoming restaurant nestled in a small shopping center."

"Benihana is a fusion of Hiroaki’s expertise and his father’s unique way of doing business. He started the restaurant in 1964 at West 56th street. With him is his memory of how his parents, specifically his father, created a profitable business."

"You'll certainly get mouth-numbing Szechuan bites at this comfortable, always-buzzy restaurant near the Medical Center. Chief among those spicier items is the shabu shabu lamb, with equal parts raging peppercorn and cooling spearmint, and everything from sliced beef in hot chile oil, to mapo tofu, and to braised pork with chile pepper are bound to make you sweat. But don't forget the very delectable beef in garlic sauce with soft buns, sugary skinned duck, and Taiwanese beef noodle soup, one of many Taiwanese dishes at Hu's."

"I've had enough standout dishes at Hu's Cooking to write a book about. Some musts: beef in garlic sauce with buns, sweet-skinned duck, popcorn chicken with veggies, three cups tofu, spicy shabu-shabu lamb with spearmint, shrimp fried rice, sliced beef in Szechuan hot chili oil. I love the casual, but buzzy dining room set against the restaurant's precision service."

"Asian countries have been known to bring some of the most beloved flavors and fresh styles of cooking to the western world. At Blue Onyx Bistro, they’ve taken some of those traditional Asian flavors and combined them with a French style of cooking to create something truly unique. Headed by Chef David Chang, the kitchen at Blue Onyx Bistro is here to bring you some of the most delicious seafood in Houston - and we can truly say that you’ve probably never experienced anything like it."

"Happy hour here is Monday through Friday from 3-6:30 pm, and they also have some great lunch deals each day, too. They have beer and wine on special."
