Been to Bandista previously but this last time the alternative life style dike decide to be rude and tell me I could not order another drink that my time was almost up…ok well I still have time serve my drink! There is no mention of a time allowed in my reservation, this was never brought up in previous visits either. When I first sat down they took 20 mins to make my drink and they apologized and the was only 5 other people in there!

Will not be going back!

Amazing cocktails and great service. The experience is everything. It was a little slow timing wise but they were slammed and still very attentive. We were there for the Christmas decor and it was lovely. Will go back again!

Bandista is a hidden gem inside the Four Season's hotel. The arrival and location is an experience in itself. But once you are in the bar, you are elevated to a different vibe. Phenomenal bartenders. VIP concierge service. Highly recommend.

5/5 hands down of the best experiences in Houston. Located in the four seasons behind a bookshelf it’s a must visit speakeasy. These days they will escort you up to the bar. No food served so eat before.

Zach was a great host and made sure all our needs were met on the drinks. That drinks on the menu are well portioned almost 2 drinks in one so order carefully. You won’t go wrong with this place.

This was probably the best speakeasy experience I've had so far. You HAVE TO make reservations. You're escorted to an beautiful intimate bar. Zach, our bartender was such great company, he shared great stories and was so professional. His skill were fantastic. Their drink menu was very unique, but VERY pricey. There was no food, so eat before you go, it's definitely worth the trip.

A very nice speak easy, great if you want to do something different with your friends or parents-date night. The cocktails are all incredible, bartenders all very knowledgeable and love the velvet cosy atmosphere. The only reason I am not giving the 5 stars is because of the limit of 1h45mn there. But it is an awesome experience, so awesome that you do want to stay a little longer.
