Upper Kirby has generally been an overlooked area for nightlife, but in recent years it has established itself as one of the best spots to hit for a night on the town. Some of the best restaurants in Houston are also now within the confines of Upper Kirby; we list the ones to try.

1. BB’s Cafe

BB’s brings out the best of Houston, and now they’re bringing it to Upper Kirby. The fourth location of the Montrose hot spot is by far the largest.

The atmosphere is light and adorned with Cajun flair. BB’s Cafe is the perfect spot to dig into crawfish by the pound.
