I'm a huge fan of the Richmond location, and this a great alternative to driving into the city. The ambiance is intimate and relaxing. The martini menu is vast and the bartenders are always knowledgeable. There is also a good selection of fine whiskeys.
The only downside is that it is a tad small, but other than that it is a must see if your looking for a spot that isn't crawling with the recently legal crowd, if you know what I mean :)
A friend and I decided to check this place out after work on Friday. Never going there before or hearing anything about it, we walked in with an open mind.
Once we opened the door, we realized how small it is. If I had to guess, this bar can seat 15-20 comfortably and that's it.
Another thing we noticed is that everyone else in there was in their late 30s at the youngest. Definitely not our demographic, that's for sure.
On the plus side, huge and outstanding menu of drinks.
Came to The Davenport for a friends 40th birthday celebration specifically to reminisce about our younger days that we spent at the Davenport in Houston. We arrived around 10:30 with a group of 13. Every seat in the place was taken. I would only estimate maybe 25 places to sit. I checked out the drink menu an it looked just as amazing as I remember. I was dying to have the newbies try out some of my favorite signature drinks but everyone was pretty bummed about the lack of searing so we left. I suggest going early, especially if you have a large party.
