Entry No. 6 — the Houston file — filed under: speakeasy

Bandista

A hostess meets you in the Four Seasons lobby and walks you through the back of house — service elevator, working kitchen, then a wall of books. You punch a code into a hidden keypad and the bookcase itself swings open into an 8-seat bar and 12-seat lounge.

The move: Book the extremely limited reservation (call 713-297-1340) and let the hostess walk you through the kitchen route before the bookcase opens — order off the reimagined-classics list and stay for the full Tuesday-Saturday 5pm-midnight window since seating is tiny.
