Welcome to the historic Dean’s Downtown! Originally known as “The Kiam,” Dean’s was built in 1893 and stood as the tallest building in Houston at an impressive five stories. This landmark was the first in the city to utilize steel frame construction and, in 1901, became the third building in America (and the first in Texas) to feature an electric elevator.

At Dean’s Downtown, we take pride in offering an exceptional selection of craft beers, specialty drinks, and classic cocktails made the old-fashioned way. Enjoy these delightful beverages in a friendly, comfortable atmosphere. Join us every day at 316 Main to savor one of our classic cocktails in a stylish, cozy lounge among friends.
