Cullen's

As you drive up to Cullen's you are welcomed with an unexpected but captivating building. The first thing I thought was..."this place is HUGE!" Yes, this is true...definetly an experience going to Cullen's.  Cullen's basically covers it all.  Let's start with the dining room. Fine dining at it's greatest.  I can't seem to pinpoint the perfect adjective to describe it. The dining room is a romantic and elegant setting, and very detail-oriented. They home make their breads everyday, and even make their own chocolates in house. They have won Houston City Search awards of:  Best Steak House 2009, Best Houston Romantic Dining 2009, and Best Houston Fine Dining 2009.

Moving on to the rest...there is a billiards room, a sports bar, a bar/lounge, seven private dining rooms, patio dining, and "Cullen's Live"--an entertainment venue.  Only open for 2 years now, Cullen's seems to host up to 150 events every month! And now for the bar....

Bartender, Kim Paul, whipped us up some of her fabulous cocktails. Kim has been bartending for 17 years and that experience has paid off! Always down for a challenge, this artistic bartender will try anything once.
Drink of choice: Glenlivet 25
Claim to fame: Grapefruit martini
Hangover cure: Soda water with bitters and lemons
Bar pet peeve: People who assume bartenders are not educated or intelligent, because bartending is truly a craft!
Favorite movie: Practical Magic
