Permission 2920 White Oak Drive, Houston, TX 77007

"Was in Houston for the weekend and had a GREAT time at Permission Whiskey last night! Peter (the owner), Shanell, Jacob, Andrew, and Tommy were all fantastic. While it was 7:30-8:00 on a Saturday night and we did not have reservations, we were able to get an outside table for three as soon as we walked in. This was perfect, as I was going to be smoking a cigar or two. While the drinks (old-fashioned, espresso martini, and bourbon, espresso martini) were excellent and the selection of spirits was very impressive, the friendly, customer service was exceptional and really made our night!! We also tried a charcuterie board which was excellent! One of the highlights of the night was drinking Van Winkle and an extremely rare blend of Glenmorangie scotch! Peter, you and your staff have a gem in the Heights!! Permission will be our “go to” every time we are in Houston (see you in 3-4 weeks)! We will definitely try your new jazz bar next time as well! Thanks again for the great hospitality and we wish you continued success for many, many years!! P.S. - thank you as well for introducing us to “James“!!"

"My friends and I have enjoyed visited Permission often, but most recently we had the pleasure of experiencing their hidden speakeasy James. The lighting is dark and sexy. It's perfect for a date or gathering with friends. We were greeted with a delicious welcome shot. I then tried the Midnight Martini. It came with some lovely chocolates. It was one of the best drinks I've had in Houston. I also enjoyed the espresso martini. I look forward to coming back on special occasions. :-)"

"Permission Whiskey is the best bar in town, easily. Their bartenders and wait staff all go above and beyond to make you feel like they’re so happy you chose to be there. The drinks are consistently impeccable. And the vibes are just immaculate. Plus they made my engagement photos SO dreamy I’ve never had a bad time at permission, and I bet you won’t either!"

"This is a great place for whiskey enthusiasts. We stopped in and drank old-fashioned all night with a couple of cigars. The prices sneak up a bit, so it won't be a regular thing but so much fun on occasion. If you haven't tried one, order a smoked old fashioned...it's a treat and quite a presentation."

"Akin to Double Chicken Please in New York City. The attention to detail is remarkable. The owners of this place know what good service encompasses and how to implement. Brian the bartender in The James has repeatedly shown us an amazing experience. There is no way you could have a bad time at this bar. This place is a refuge from the monotony of life. Ask James for Permission to enter."
