Simone on Sunset in Rice Village is a craft cocktail bar and restaurant with a hidden speakeasy that embodies summer-European charm. The main restaurant features a friendly bar, intimate conversation nooks, a community table for groups, and a courtyard with a summery, candlelit aesthetic that feels like a European escape. But for those in the know, a bookshelf conceals the entrance to The Handshake, an exclusive speakeasy with velvet seating, moody lighting, and a carefully curated menu of craft cocktails and elevated bites. The restaurant menu features an impressive wine selection, handcrafted cocktails, and shareable plates like cheese boards, samosas, and pizzas. Simone caters to romantics and celebrants alike, offering the perfect blend of casual and elevated dining in one of Houston's most charming neighborhoods.
