Houstonia Magazine Names Augustine Lounge One of Houston's 50 Hottest Bars
In a comprehensive guide to the city's best drinking destinations, Houstonia Magazine named Augustine Lounge at Hotel Saint Augustine one of Houston's 50 hottest bars. The feature recognizes the lounge for successfully becoming "Houstonians' fancy living room away from home" since opening in late 2024.
Houstonia highlights how Bunkhouse designed the space to attract both locals and hotel guests, creating a welcoming atmosphere enhanced by listening experiences curated by Cactus Music. The lounge spans three rooms filled with haute-design chairs and couches, offering ample seating beyond its intimate bar counter. The magazine recommends the Point of Origin cocktail—blanco tequila, smoked sage agave, and lime with a "stardust" rim—paired with bites from the Bludorn team.
Being featured in Houstonia's curated list of the city's hottest bars—alongside beloved dives and experimental cocktail hubs—positions Augustine Lounge as an essential addition to Houston's drinking scene. The recognition affirms the lounge's success in creating a sophisticated yet approachable space across from the Menil campus in Montrose.
SULLTRAIN, as the communications partner for Hotel Saint Augustine, is proud to see Augustine Lounge recognized among Houston's top bars. For the full list of the city's 50 hottest bars, explore the original guide from Houstonia Magazine below.
