In the heart of Houston's West Midtown Entertainment District, FAO is a game-changer (pun intended) in the bar scene.
You'll find it on Smith Street, not far from Discovery Green and Minute Maid Park.
Situated around a 400-square-foot bar, FAO boasts 360-degree stools, couches for lounging, and several TVs always broadcasting the most-watched spots teams.
Handcrafted cocktails like margaritas and long island iced teas are given fun and quirky kid makeovers, some with peach ring and gummy worm garnishes and others served in Capri Sun-like containers rather than normal glasses.
So next time you need to decompress after a long day at work, grab some friends and head on over to FAO HTX.
