Clarkwood

Clarkwood is an elegant cocktail and wine bar nestled in a historic theater with a chic feel. This Old Hollywood-style bar in the Allen Parkway corridor is trendy but vintage, offering the ideal setting for classic drinks.

The design was influenced by the building's original structure, which featured a white exterior with a Spanish-style orange roof. Clarkwood serves nine specialty cocktails, as well as a dozen wines by the glass and 30 bottles from a well-curated range. A Tableside punch bowl served with enormous chunks of ice and edible flowers is a highlight, as is an espresso martini garnished with a torched marshmallow. It's worth trying Clarkwood's peppercorn and sage gin and tonic, or try a house shot like the "Persian Cowboy," which is made with vodka, orange liqueur, and Persian key lime.
