Monkey's Tail

About Monkey's Tail

Celebrate Christmas with a Mexican-American twist at Monkey's Tail, a lively neighborhood cocktail bar in Houston's Lindale Park.

Each holiday season, Monkey's Tail transforms into Feliz Navidad, a colorful Christmas celebration inspired by Mexican holiday traditions.

Instead of the typical North Pole-inspired decorations, past editions have featured vibrant red and green papel picado, shimmering tinsel, Christmas trees, festive displays, and playful photo opportunities.

The seasonal cocktail menu is one of the biggest attractions. Previous holiday favorites have included Horchata Eggnog, the Frozen Mistletoe Margarita, and Ponche Villa, a warm cocktail inspired by traditional Mexican Christmas fruit punch.

But Monkey's Tail is more than a festive drinking destination. Its kitchen serves Mexican-American comfort food, and previous Christmas celebrations have included seasonal tamales alongside the bar's regular food offerings.

The combination of creative drinks, holiday food, and a casual neighborhood atmosphere makes it a great choice for friends looking to spend an entire evening in one place.

Whether you're looking for a unique Christmas cocktail, a festive dinner with friends, or a holiday bar that celebrates Houston's Mexican-American culture, Monkey's Tail offers a colorful alternative to traditional Christmas pop-ups.
