New Orleans
Bandista
Bandista is an inventive speakeasy hidden behind a bookcase inside the Four Seasons Hotel Houston, inspired by the glamour of a 1920s lounge with a decadent Latin vibe. With just 20 seats (12 in the lounge and 8 at the bar), it's an intimate escape where the mixologists craft refined cocktails using premium spirits and refined techniques. Ranked No. 59 on North America's 50 Best Bars, Bandista regularly hosts guest bartenders from renowned venues like Employees Only in New York and VIRTÙ in Tokyo. Reservations are required for 90-minute seatings, available Wednesday through Saturday from 5 PM to midnight.
