Introducing Clarkwood’s New Courtyard Bar
A New Al Fresco Destination in Montrose
Houstonians, get ready to elevate your summer nights with the latest addition to the city’s nightlife scene. Clarkwood, the chic cocktail bar in Montrose, has expanded with a stunning 1,500-square-foot courtyard bar. This new outdoor space is the perfect spot to enjoy craft cocktails, ambient DJ sets, and seasonal late-night events.
The Story Behind Clarkwood
Housed in a 1930s building that was once home to the Star Engraving Co., Clarkwood has been a favorite among locals and visitors alike since its opening in 2022. Co-founders Army Sadeghi and Mason Clark have created a unique and intimate atmosphere that has made Clarkwood a go-to destination for date nights and celebratory sips. However, the bar’s popularity has often meant that it was unable to accommodate everyone who wanted to join the party. The new courtyard bar doubles Clarkwood’s capacity, providing more space for guests to enjoy the bar’s signature cocktails and events.
Design and Ambiance
The courtyard bar’s design is an extension of Clarkwood’s elegant and sophisticated atmosphere. Houston’s Gin Design Group has thoughtfully incorporated shades of cream, gray, and white, combined with lush greenery and old-world glamour reminiscent of Europe. The result is a unique and inviting space that is perfect for relaxing and socializing. The rotating lineup of DJs and late-night programming will add to the bar’s energetic and lively atmosphere, making it the perfect spot to spend a summer evening.
New Cocktails and Menu Offerings
To celebrate the expansion, Clarkwood is offering two new cocktails that will only be served in the courtyard bar. The Clarkwood Punch Bowl is a shareable libation crafted tableside with gin, elderflower, cold-pressed Texas grapefruit, tonic, and rosé. For a more tropical drink, the Mezcal Matcha Colada combines mezcal and blanco tequila with ceremonial-grade matcha, pineapple, banana, and coconut cream. Additionally, Clarkwood is launching a Gold Hour Spritz Menu, featuring three unique spritzes available nightly from 6-8 pm.
Hours of Operation
Clarkwood is open daily from 5 pm-2 am, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a summer evening with friends or a romantic night out. With its new courtyard bar, Clarkwood is sure to remain one of the city’s top destinations for craft cocktails and nightlife.
Conclusion
Clarkwood’s new courtyard bar is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to elevate their summer nights. With its unique and sophisticated atmosphere, craft cocktails, and lively events, Clarkwood is the perfect spot to enjoy a night out in Houston. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, be sure to stop by Clarkwood and experience all that it has to offer.
