Where to Brunch in Midtown

Holman Draft Hall

Try a boozy brunch at Midtown party spot Holman Draft Hall, where you’ll find plenty of comfortable seating both inside and out on the patio, plus a brunch lineup featuring shareable “Brunchuterie Boards” with Bloodys and Micheladas. 

Saturdays & Sundays 11am to 3pm.

Thirteen

James Harden’s Thirteen restaurant is a scene, and a tasty one at that.

Head here for the weekend brunch experience, complete with whopping numbers like smothered shrimp & smoked gouda grits, Hawaiian filet & eggs with curried hash, and deep-fried strawberry cheesecake french toast.

Saturdays & Sundays 11am to 3pm.

Weights + Measures

Hit this reimagined standby for excellent brunch cocktails, from a grade ‘A’ bloody that brings the heat to a fizzy grapefruit paloma, plus all sorts of tasty sharables and mains.

Those with a sweet tooth can dive head first into W+M’s housemade dough-knots, or go for a pastry board from onsite pastry shop Love Croissants.

On the savory side, chow down on house favorites like pork belly arepa or the surprisingly fantastic roasted carrot pizza.

Saturdays & Sundays 9:30am to 3pm.

Winnie’s

A chiller affair, neighborhood hangout Winnie’s is where you want to go for good times and great brunch.

Start with a seriously good Bloody Mary or actual treasure chest of cocktails, then move on to all-day brunch eats like the chicken and waffles with cayenne honey butter and rum syrup, or perfect breakfast sammie with bacon, egg, cheese, spiced tots, arugula and spicy ketchup; or go for oysters, burgers, po’boys and more.

Brennan’s of Houston

You’ll find the be-all-end-all of luxury brunches at Creole fine dining spot Brennan’s.

Dress to impress and feast on a prix fixe of a la carte brunch, featuring choices such as Brennan’s classic turtle soup, Creole seafood campechana, cochon de lait benedict, and tableside flambéed bananas foster.

Ramos gin fizzes and brandy milk punch make for the perfect bayou-side accompaniments.
