About this restaurant

  • Great for happy hour
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
Our family's story in Texas begins on Lymbar Drive where Robert and Dora Cordua moved from Managua, Nicaragua. There, multiple generations and parties with wine, whiskey, rich food, music and chimichurri perfumed the walls. We invite you to experience our heritage, our hospitality and our roots in the city of Houston. We are an all day neighborhood craft cocktail bar and open theatre kitchen specializing in latin and mediterranean small plates and shareables. No rules. Good greenergy. Buenas vibras.

    A beautiful fusion of Mediterranean and Latin inspired cuisine, with an amazing selection of timeless cocktails. The bar is a one of a kind exotic art piece. Amazing craftsmanship. The unique and cozy restaurant is also full of wonderful art that you are able to purchase if you like. And a grand piano for date night. The service is over and beyond any establishment in the Houston area, due to its deep roots in the unmatched excellence of customer service. Highly highly recommend.

    Had a great experience here — food, ambience, service were all perfect! They allowed us to sit in the private room for a party of 11 without specifically reserving it and this room was amazing for celebrating our special occasion.

    The adorably delicious lobster twinkies, perfectly cooked ribeye and lamb chops, the very interesting flavors of the ceviche! When I’m not eating here I’m planning my next time to get back here.

    We chose Lymbar to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and we definitely made the right choice. Service was pleasant and easygoing. The food was better than described on the menu as well as plentiful. The cocktails were spot on and we really enjoyed everything.

    Place seemed to have ran out of a lot of items we ordered but manager was very kind to order replacements for each on the house for the inconvenience. Food was tasteful! Cocktails were great. Will be going back.
