Houston Watch Company
913 Franklin
Downtown’s newest bar, Houston Watch Company, is located in the lobby of the Bayou Lofts on Franklin St. and gets its name from the former timepiece company that occupied the space over 100 years ago. From its name to its drinks, Houston Watch Company is the essence of old-school. We suggest trying one of their 4 different versions of an old fashioned or the strawberry shrub cocktail made with fresh fruit! They also have a variety of both draft and bottled beers.
