MKT BAR at Phoenicia Specialty Foods Downtown is proud to be a participant in Houston Restaurant Weeks from August 1st through September 30th, 2017.
Houston Restaurant Weeks is the largest annual fundraiser for America’s largest food bank, the Houston Food Bank. Restaurants across Houston will donate proceeds from their special HRW menu sales to benefit this vital, community organization.
During the five week dining experience we will offer specially priced lunch and dinner menus as well as a tasty HRW brunch menu. Give us a visit during this exciting time of the year to be a food lover in Houston!
We’ve been named one of Houstonia’s Best Neighborhood bars in Downtown Houston!
Touted as “Best Bar for Drinking Before Grocery Shopping,” we invite you pop-in and unwind before (or after) hitting the aisles. You can always count on finding a refreshing beer or wine special and appetizers to make your shopping more exciting during our weekday Happy Hour, every Monday through Friday from 2-7PM.
“Come as you are to this no-frills joint located inside the beloved Phoenicia Specialty Foods market. Though it otherwise has all the atmosphere of your local Starbucks, the bar feels buzzy when a DJ or live band hits the stage, which is often, and gets packed when there’s a concert or a basketball game at nearby Toyota Center. As a bonus, pretty much every wine on offer pairs well with the store’s flaky baklava. Just saying.”
GO TEXAN is more than just boots and barbecue. It’s a state of mind. From February 23-27, Phoenicia Specialty Foods and MKT BAR are celebrating the finest foods in Texas like the Hogtied Hamburger, complete with smoked gouda and ranch dressing or the MKT Frito Pie that’s got a nice little kick to it. Cool down some of that Texas spice with a Michelada or take a spin on the Buffalo Bayou Beer flight. And because everything’s sweeter in Texas, save room for our Mile High Key Lime Pie.
MKT BAR is country music headquarters during GO TEXAN week, showcasing the best in local music from many of Houston’s most talented musicians. It’s live music and grub with a country kick from February 23-27.
Between our great grub and toe-tapping country music, there’s simply no other place to GO TEXAN this February.
