Bandista Welcomes Chicago’s Queen Mary Tavern for Exclusive One-Night Pop-Up Cocktail Event at Four Seasons Hotel Houston

Bandista at Four Seasons Hotel Houston welcomes Managing Partner Dan Smith and bartender Amy Lewis from Chicago’s award-winning cocktail bar Queen Mary Tavern for an exclusive one-night pop-up on January 27, 2026 from 6:00 to 10:00 pm.

This limited-seat experience is an extension of Bandista's popular pop-ups, in which Beverage Manager Johnathan Jones and the bar team have previously welcomed the likes of Locale Firenze (Florence), Laowai (Vancouver), Jigger & Pony (Singapore), Jewel of the South (New Orleans), Employees Only (New York City), and VIRTÙ (Tokyo).

Queen Mary (named #63 in North America’s 50 Best Bars) will present five of its house cocktails, inspired by British maritime drinking traditions, the use of fascinating ingredients, and clever combinations, including its highly-regarded Navy Strength Old Fashioned (named “Best Cocktail in Chicago” by Chicago Magazine) and the indulgent White Truffle Martini. Music from their playlist will set the vibe, further transporting guests to the handsomely restored time-capsule bar, known for its warm and generous hospitality.

Reservations for one-hour seatings are required for this special evening, which benefits Camp H-Town. The featured cocktails will be priced between USD 25 and 40 each. 

“We're excited to welcome Queen Mary Tavern to Houston for this special one-night pop-up,” says Tom Segesta, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Houston. "Giving our guests access to other award-winning bar experiences from around the world is something we are proud to offer, and this great neighbourhood cocktail bar from Chicago is no exception.”

Guests choosing to make a night of it are invited to plan ahead and save with the Advance Purchase offer, which includes up to 25 percent off the room rate when booking at least three days in advance.
