Reviews
Great atmosphere very retro so if you are into that, this will be a luxury for you. I got 2 ciders (since I'm not a fan of bear) they were DELICOUS. I will post a picture of the exact ones I got. They ran me about 5 bucks each which made it very affordable for leisure drinking. Would recommend this spot for sure if you are chilling and want to catch a vibe.
P.s. I didn't attempt to order food so don't know how that is or if they are serving it still
Step into the enchanting world of La Carafe, a candlelit haven for sipping beer and wine, all while indulging in some ghost hunting within Houston's oldest commercial building. This cash-only bar's cozy ambiance, complete with a fantastic jukebox in the back, makes it the perfect hideaway for an intimate evening or a unique adventure with friends. Don't miss out on the chance to experience the captivating blend of history, mystery, and delightful drinks at La Carafe, a true gem in the heart of Houston.
This building has been around since the mid-1800s, and I'm a sucker for any spot with history! This spot is beer and wine ONLY and offers munchies such as chips or crisps, depending on the noun of your preference. It's a cool spot to go and chill while enjoying a cold beer or a glass of wine. Yes, some of the wines and beers offered are local. There are two levels to this location, and both offer a very cool atmosphere as there are various oddities surrounding the interior. There is patio seating on both levels, which offers nice calming views. This spot is rumored to be haunted, but I can neither confirm or deny the rumors. Stop in, take a load off, and relax. Perhaps you may have a paranormal time? Or, if anything, enjoy a good time with good people and a cool atmosphere!
It is very small but decent. The bartender doesn't know how to use a card machine, but he is a nice and welcoming person. Not much beer options though. Hey it is worth stopping by for a drink
Amazing historical place, beer & wine only, if you can get a seat on the viewing deck it's worth the wait
This place was very cool! CASH ONLY jukebox is old beer is cold and they a decent wine menu for the ladies! Will be back soon!
First I'm ever came here was this last Thursday because I saw this place on Instagram as the oldest and most haunted bar in Houston.
Well it's no ghosts dared to show up, that I'm aware of, it was an outstanding experience that felt just like you were in New Orleans, keep in mind this is a beer and wine bar and that is what you should expect. The prices were really great, the owner and the head bartender made wonderful wine suggestions for me and my friends. And there was a live band even on Thursday that was outstanding.
Feel atmosphere of old Houston in the oldest building. Bar has own vibe and style. Jukebox is cool as well as interior. Not broad voice of draft beers but overall it is ok. Wines are also there
