Mongoose versus Cobra
Houston, Texas
We'll admit it: we'd be tempted to visit Mongoose versus Cobra based on the name alone — but luckily, this Midtown drinkery is far more than a clever moniker. Housed in a reclaimed historic building from 1915, it offers an impressive selection of craft beers from Texas, the US, and beyond, including a strong list of Belgians and even a blonde ale from Estonia. There's also a single irish whiskey on the 42-tap draught list, and a short menu of "groceries" like nuts, pretzels, jerky, hand-cured meats, cheeses, and deli sandwiches.
