Behind the Bookcase

Bandista is an intimate, modern-day speakeasy (literally hidden behind a bookcase at Four Seasons Hotel Houston), reminiscent of a 1920s lounge that dazzles with a decadent Latin vibe. Guests of the 20-seat bar and lounge enjoy inventive and artistic interpretations of classic and contemporary cocktails served in vintage barware with whimsical accoutrements, as well as rare spirits from around the world. A cocktail journey and experience, Bandista is an elevated bar and lounge, rich in craftsmanship, creativity, and Southern hospitality. Its eight bar seats provide a center-stage show of the cocktail laboratory, where guests connect with the city's most talented bartenders and other discreet guests. Bandista is open Wednesday through Saturday from 5:00 pm to 12:00 midnight. Reservations are required and are extremely limited.
