Bandista is a hidden cocktail bar within Four Seasons Hotel Houston, styled as a modern speakeasy with the elegance of a 1920s lounge and a cinematic sense of arrival. Concealed behind a bookcase, this intimate space offers a reservation-only experience where rare spirits and precise technique shape a menu of reimagined classics and original creations.
