Henke & Pillot offers two unique event venues. Our ground level lounge is a modern venue available for private parties. Upstairs is our charming, rustic loft, an open-space ballroom perfect for corporate events, presentations and live shows. Book the lounge, the loft or the entire building for an event your guests will never forget.
Named after the Houston grocery store chain that occupied the space in the 800 block of Congress over 150 years ago, the simple yet sophisticated setting offers patrons a place to lounge, dance, and host private events. A vibrant two story venue, comprised of a spacious lounge on the first floor and a private ballroom on the second floor loft.

I have been here before and had good times. But last night was bad enough that I don't believe anyone at our table will return. I strongly urge all females to watch out for a security guard that wears his security guard badge on a chain around his neck. He approached our table to talk try to talk to a girl at the table. When i asked him if something was wrong ( because i didn't understand at first why he approached us) he tried to say that the cops wanted to kick us out and that he was the only reason we were still allowed to be there. None of that was true. When I questioned him he immediately

Treated as if I couldn't order a drink initially and when I left to another location saw that I was double charged. Already over priced drinks.
This was the first place I went that night so I have the receipts. Called and contacted the merchant with no answer.
Recommend pay cash when you go here. They will do an initial charge and hold your ID card.

Never ever will I spend my money in the establishment. We arrived with a reservation for a 40th birthday for a friend d from out of town. Once I heard she wanted it here I was Leary because I had a horrible experience here prior to Covid. We were seated and there was a couple kissing all over one another in/on our reserved section. Wow!!! They made them over to the next section were continued the to kids and touch ALL over one another in a "reserved section". I then never received service for now over 40 mins. All I can say is as a Yelp Elite member this is my second time having

If I could give a zero I would! I have been a patron of this establishment for almost a year. Mostly Fridays as I love the grown vibe and music. Tonight however I was embarrassed and more than anything humiliated by one of the waitresses.
I sensed it was going to be a problem when one of the waitresses tried to have a friend in our party removed, stating she had a restraining order. However, after not being able to validate her claim we were able to get him back in. The entire night, I witnessed my friend be verbally harassed by this individual as he took it in stride.
Mind you, this

Celebrated a friend's birthday here a few weeks ago. Very laid back club vibe. The DJ played various Hip-hop music on the particular Friday that we went. My group was probably the only ones dancing lol most people were chillin , drinking, people watching
Pretty crowded - ages 25-35 maybe
Dress-casual chic and trendy
I can't speak on cost because I didn't have to pay for anything
Small and quaint but overall a fun vibe.

I was here with a group for an event. We've spent over $600 here and the area that we were in was not initially reserved. Someone walked up and asked for our section. They purchased the section for $100 and we were ASKED TO MOVE!!! Needless to say, we left the venue immediate. Not cool. Maybe they didn't do the math.

The atmosphere of this place was pretty good. Definitely a place to go turn up although it was as packed as I would have thought for a Friday night. The door was charging $20 at the door for ladies (which is a little high to me personally). We ended up getting in for free (not just because we're cute..) but because they have a promo is you follow them on IG/like their page or something.
Hookahs were $30 and the drinks were a little on the high side but the DJ was jamming, there was a good size open dance floor, and I had a good time sitting at the free high tops that we're available

You lost me at $10 cover for ladies and $15 for men. I specifically AVOID covers but went along because I was with a group of friends.
Interior is nice. Well designed, with an impressive amount of hightops and seats (for club standards). My friends and I were able to find seating as soon as we walked in.
As with most clubs, dress code is practically nonexistent for women and super strict for men. On the women's end: tee's and jeans; men: three piece suits. That's the disparity I ~don't like. If you're going to be lax, be lax. If you're going to be strict, BE strict

Wow, I don't normally give places 1 star, but honestly Henke & Pillot deserve negative stars. I have been here on two separate occasions and have come to the conclusion that I will never come back and neither should you.
The first occasion was for a friend's birthday party, trying to get in we waited over 20 minutes as we wanted to celebrate with our friend who was already inside but sadly we couldn't get in. Instead, we had to watch other people skip the line as we patiently waited...but during this time, we learned how corrupt and disgusting and racist Henke & Pillot

Stopped by this swanky joint while barhopping in the area. It opened up a couple months ago so it's still fairly new and an awesome addition to the growing downtown scene.
Walking in, you're introduced to a huge open space with the bar lined with seating stools and a couple cozy couches against some walls. It has a modern yet vintage feel with all the wood/brass and chandeliers hanging from the ceilings. One of the bartenders made us some custom drinks and he seemed very versed in his cocktail concoctions, they were hella tasty! So if you're unsure about what you want to order,
