Once the Southern Pacific Railroad Building, the bar gets its name from the 1912 Houston Watch Company that was once located there and saved official time for railroad workers. Today, the bar is properly stocked with American, Scotch, Irish and Japanese whiskys, and its bartenders make an excellent Old Fashioned. Go for the drinks and luxuriate in a chunk of Houston historical past, too. We all do, however for a quick fix, go to Lei Low Rum & Tiki Bar within the Heights. The discreet and intimate bar, with its 60s-era Polynesian décor and cocktails poured in coconut cups or tiki mugs, is a fun departure from other bars.
