Bar Colette
Uptown cocktail bar nominated for a 2025 James Beard 'Best New Bar,' pairing Rubén Rolón's drinks with modern sushi from Chef Kaz.
The Got Weekend take
Why go
Bar Colette is an intimate Uptown cocktail bar on McKinney Avenue, nominated for a 2025 James Beard Award for Best New Bar. Bar director Rubén Rolón's cocktails are built on nostalgia — a flavor, a dish, a feeling — and frequently carry an element of surprise. The food side comes from Chef Kazuhito 'Kaz' Mabuchi, executive chef-partner of Namo next door, whose contemporary sushi menu sources fish directly from Japan. The setting is elegant and small, reservations run through OpenTable, and the menu is posted as a downloadable PDF on the site.
