Brennan's of Houston is the city's landmark Creole restaurant, opened in 1967 in Midtown as the Houston sibling of New Orleans' Commander's Palace and run by the Brennan restaurant family. Housed in the former Junior League building, it became a fine-dining institution famous for turtle soup and tableside bananas Foster. After a renovation, the restaurant added a Courtyard Bar described as "fine dining, fine casual" with New Orleans nostalgia. Alongside its classic-cocktail program, the bar offers a zero-proof menu built on Ritual non-alcoholic spirits. As reported by CultureMap Houston, non-alcoholic options include the Nogroni (NA gin, NA aperitif, orange), Ginger Pear (pear nectar, ginger beer, lemon, cinnamon sugar), and Sparkling Cranberry Apple (cranberry juice, sparkling apple cider, lemon, cinnamon syrup), plus a blueberry mojito and blackberry basil.
