Henke & Pillot

Henke & Pillot Henke & Pillot is more than a dynamic downtown cocktail lounge.
(1949)

Houston based partners became enchanted with the idea of taking this historical site and transforming it into a sophisticated yet dynamic downtown venue for entertainment. Named after the Houston grocery store chain that occupied the space in the 800 block of Congress over 150 years ago, the simple yet sophisticated setting offers patrons inspired cocktails that are paired with mouthwatering dish

es designed by Chef David Grossman. Whether an after-work happy hour or night on the town, there is classic ambiance to H&P that is unique to the downtown arts and bar scene. Henke & Pillot promises to become a nationally recognized, not- to-be-missed spirited gathering place in Houston for both residents and visitors … where past meets present, and drinks and dining blend in flawless harmony.
