The Bars at POST Houston
The POST Market food hall has two bars, both from FAM Hospitality Group: Return to Sender, the craft cocktail bar, and Address Unknown, a smaller beer-and-liquor bar. Both open daily at 11 AM, with happy hour Mon–Fri, 3–6 PM.
Craft cocktails
Return to Sender
The larger of the two — spirit-forward cocktails like Old Smokey and the First Class Margarita, plus mocktails and low-ABV pours. Walk up, order at the bar.
Beer & liquor
Address Unknown
The smaller, faster sibling — cold Texas drafts, straight pours, and shots. Same roof, same hours, no cocktail wait.
Happy hour
Mon–Fri, 3–6 PM
Happy hour runs Mon–Fri, 3–6 PM, at both bars. Ask the bartender for the day's pours.
Before a show
713 Music Hall is inside POST Houston — the same building as both bars. Both open at 11 AM daily, so you can grab a drink in the POST Market before doors. Check POST's events calendar ↗ for what's on.
