There are so many openings and fun things going on in Montrose right now. I need to get out more, but here are a few of my favorite Montrose picks for places to see and visit right now. If you have any others, leave a comment and I’ll add them to my Montrose bucket list! And the best part of living at Encore Montrose is I’m less than 2 miles from all these great spots! 

Magical Dessert Bar – If you’ve spent any time on Instagram, you’ve already drooled over this Unicorn goodness. When it opened a few weeks ago, there was literally a 4-hour wait. That seems crazy to consume a crapload of calories, but it’s a pretty unique concept and national press is going crazy over this place. The photo is from my friend Hangry Houstonian – I could never be patient enough to snap a good photo before indulging, so I’m sharing hers. Location: 907 Westheimer.

Vibrant – This is another new’ish Houston concept. This is a happy place for your daily dining ritual, open from 7-3 and dinner from 5-10. It’s a super healthy spot and if you go for breakfast, you cannot skip out on the Coconut Chia Pudding, because it’s also drool worthy. They also have a terrific array of cocktails, including sugar free cocktails using seasonal ingredients. I love a place where drinking doesn’t leave a massive hangover or any lasting guilt. Location: 1931 Fairview.

Present Company – Not new, but it’s the perfect patio to hit before

that Houston weather gets nearly intolerable. Looking for Monday plans? Check out their all-day Happy Hour every Monday from 3p – Midnight and check out their Bacon & Brussels Pizza paired alongside an Instagram-worthy cocktail. Location: 1318 Westheimer.

Love Buzz Pizza Pub – If you’re a pizza lover, you’ll love this cheesy spot. Granted, it’s not new either, but it’s worth a visit or revisit if it’s been a while. Night owls can rejoice because they’re open until 2a every.single.night. That seems crazy to me since I go to bed at 9p, but for those who stay up late, you’ll love this spot with major Montrose vibes. Plus, they run great deals on Wednesday nights like free slices with any mixed drink purchase (9p-1a). Location: 408 Westheimer.

Goodnight Charlie’s – If you love a honky tonk good time (and you should because you live in Houston!), then don’t miss this spot boasting live music every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. They also have a killer happy hour Tuesday – Sunday from 4-7p and come hungry because their tacos are worth all the calories followed by an ice cold beer. Location: 2531 Kuester St.

Cafe Bustelo – This adorable pop-up coffee shop in Montrose is too cute and packs a rich Latin coffee punch on top of it all. I’m not sure how long it’ll be around (rumors are May 25th, but that often changes due to popularity) and there’s usually a line, but the place is too cute to miss and the rooftop coffee sipping spot is a great way to kick off the day. It’s bright  yellow and you’ll see the line, so it’s hard to miss. Location: 3615 Montrose.

This blog post is part of a sponsored series with Encore Montrose, sharing about the things I love about this Houston eclectic neighborhood and why I love my Montrose luxury apartment. There are a few current leasing specials going on right now (but not for long) — stop by 4508 Graustark St. for a quick tour and be sure to mention me (Jayme or The Blonde Side) and maybe we’ll be neighbors soon. You’ll absolutely love the pool that overlooks 59 and the Montrose location that puts you in the middle of so many hotspots in town.
