White Rhino Patio And Cocktail Bar

"The atmosphere is what brought us to this establishment. We showed up about 1220. I looked up online and it showed they close at 2 AM. However, upon approaching the door and having our IDs checked by a gentleman, he let us know that they would be closing at one. We asked if it would be OK if we still had a drink or two to which you replied, yes. We went to have the drink and before we could even get the drink the bartender greeted us very rudely. She did not welcome us. She did not say hello. She simply told us we’re closed. We informed her that the attendee at the door had let us know that they were closing at one, and we just wanted to have a drink. She rolled her eyes and looked at the attendee, and was very disgusted, and did not even ask us what we wanted. My girlfriend asked if we could get a drink still, and proceeded to order us a drink. I myself would’ve walked out. It was our first time to this establishment and we have heard great reviews in reference to this place. We will not be coming back and just the lack of care or effort in customer service. I’m not too sure how they’re still open. That is the first and most important part of owning a bar and restaurant, and should have the employees exuberant the same type of characteristics."

"White Rhino is a spot I pass by frequently and have visited on many occasions. While it always serves its purpose of being a convenient stop for my friends and I to grab a quick drink on our way somewhere there are some simple ways in which I feel the business could be improved tremendously. For starters, every time I have been to White Rhino the inside has been extremely cold. Most recently, I stopped by on an evening where a cold front had come through and I kid you not, every ceiling fan and mounted oscillating fan was on and turned to high, as well as the AC noticeably blowing out cold air. This makes sense if the bar is packed but we were some of the only people there. Every drink I've had from white rhino has been very good, and the bartenders are always friendly and quick to serve, which is a huge plus. Additionally, the bar itself and the restrooms are always very clean. The drinks are a little on the pricier side, (most recently a round of two shots and two beers ran me $30.78 before tip), but from a trendy bar that's what I have come to expect. If you're in the mood for a quick drink I would recommend giving white rhino a look and trying for yourself. I will continue to give them my business and I look forward to potentially trying some of the food items they offer, but I do hope they correct some of the issues mentioned above."

"Cool place to hangout, chill and relax, & to have a few drinks. We will be going back. Fyi, the mules, the El Cubano, and michiladas were all good. Recommend them all. I've updated this review because I went back a few weeks later. Great place."

"The White Rhino was gracious enough to host our author event on Saturday 10/21. Everyone in attendance loved the location, chic atmosphere, music, and cheerful, relaxing, vibe. The owners were responsive in planning for this event, and were a pleasure to work with during the entire process. The freshly hand-crafted drinks were delicious and the venue also offers a superb selection of local and regional beers. I highly recommend to anyone in the Houston area to book the White Rhino for your next Event!"

"I must say, I wish I could’ve gotten more pictures of the atmosphere in general of this place. It is well decorated and feels very welcoming. There’s plenty of space inside and outside to accommodate big crowds. The drinks are reasonably priced and are very tasty as well. Their “Just like Jalisco” drink was amazing. It is their take on the classic Paloma drink (if I’m not mistaken) and it is done just right. They’ve got food trucks on the patio which is nice when you’re looking for something to decoy your stomach after a couple of drinks. Friendly staff makes this place come together to create a congenial experience for new and returning clientele."
