New European-Inspired Cocktail and Terrace Bar with Hidden Speakeasy in the Heart of Montrose: Sophie

Bienvenue to the Heights! Sophie, the new European-inspired cocktail and terrace bar, is here to transport you to a chic European summer without leaving Houston. If you've been craving the charm of a French patio, skip the long flights and head over to Montrose for a taste of Europe.

Sophie exudes elegance, offering the perfect spot for an afternoon cocktail. Their menu is just as stunning—make sure to try the caviar fettuccine, a rich and indulgent dish that’s absolutely worth the visit.

When it comes to cocktails, their selection is top-tier. You’ll find a mix of classic and specialty drinks, along with curated shots. If you’re after that true European experience, a spritz is the way to go. Exclusively available upstairs on the terrace, they offer three spritz variations: Aperol, Blackberry, and Elderflower. During our visit, we loved The King’s Lover and From St. Tropez, With Love—both were refreshing and flavorful.

But there’s more to Sophie than meets the eye. Hidden downstairs is a speakeasy that’s perfect for a more intimate evening. Designed to resemble Sophie’s living room, it’s an elegant and luxurious space, ideal for quiet conversations over elevated cocktails. Here, you can enjoy a few exclusive drinks that are only served in this cozy hideaway. Pro tip: Make sure to reserve your spot at the speakeasy to ensure you get the full Sophie experience.

Whether you’re looking for a chic terrace hangout or a secret speakeasy adventure, Sophie offers a European-inspired escape right here in Houston.
