Additional Information

In keeping the traditions alive, Brenner’s on the Bayou was opened in 2007 and is situated in a picturesque retreat on Houston’s Buffalo Bayou.  While paying homage to some of the original Brenner’s favorites, Brenner’s on the Bayou hosts its own unique menu, wine list, and unforgettable backdrops.  The dramatic two-story dining room features breathtaking views from every table and with its rustic, yet elegant atmosphere, Brenner’s private dining rooms provide an ideal setting for intimate or group gatherings.  For an experience that is unlike any other – the outside areas offer an escape from the city bustle with its lush greenery, cascading stone waterfall, and idyllic gazebo.   In addition, the outdoor decks of Blue Bar will allow you to immerse yourself in nature while still basking in the luxuries of cover and comfort while sipping on hand-crafted cocktails and treating yourself to a variety of small plates. With our focus on personalized service, every occasion will be an experience to remember.

    Single Malt Scotch - Speyside

    Speyside whiskies are among Scotland’s lightest, sweetest single malts, and have little peaty character. Age often brings a bit more body, and the profusion of heavily sherried whiskies from the region exhibit superb power. Though a comparatively small appellation, Speyside has the vast majority of Scotch whisky distilleries.
