Who’s that reading on our back patio? Oh, it’s Talia!!

She finds being a barista really fun and loves the unusual combo of matcha lemonade 🧐. Her message to all of you is, “stay groovy and never let anyone make you feel bad for being your authentic self.” We whole-heartedly agree!

Find Talia and our other baristas having a good time behind bar @ The Nook during your next visit…maybe even try the matcha lemonade 👀?

As October comes to an end, we want to take a moment to remember and celebrate Corey Sanders.

Corey was an integral part of our community, with a wonderfully kindhearted spirit that is dearly missed. Corey’s dedication to those around him can still be felt throughout this time. Our hearts are with the Sanders family, Corey’s friends, and everyone who was lucky enough to have met them. We love and miss you Corey. ❤

Looking for one of the coolest bartenders around?

Looking for one of the coolest bartenders around? Look no further, we’ve got Alex on our Rooftop.🍸

She recommends a basil gimlet upstairs, it’s “super refreshing,” loves The Aces radio and her favorite part of the job is the “welcoming and fun environment! I love getting to work with genuine and kind people,” AND to be honest, she’s at the top of the list when it comes to being both. 🥰

See Alex upstairs during PGOD or stop by The Nook Rooftop for a quick bite before class! We can’t wait to see you! 🍴

It's officially fall in the city of Houston, how do we know that for sure? Well, the temperatures drop and as do our new Rooftop drinks. 🍂

Our Peach Bourbon Lemonade features buffalo trace bourbon in it and the Blackberry Rum Punch frozen is the perfect refreshment for dancing the night away upstairs! 💃🕺

Bring a friend and try one tonight at The Nook, where trying something new is always encouraged! ✨️

THE strawberry matcha enthusiast: Aphrielle, a bartender AND barista at The Nook!

Her favorite part about working at The Nook is "how accommodating the management is and how amazing and diverse we all are. This place has really become a safe place for a lot of us." She also says, "if you ever walk into The Nook and hear 90's to early 2000's hiphop like “Big Papa” by The Notorious B.I.G. or Spice Girls radio— that’s all me." 🍹☕

come visit us after class and get hooked on our strawberry matcha while listening to some 90's jams! we're open til midnight! 🍓
