Houston, TX (RestaurantNews.com) In just a few months since its opening, Confessions Restaurant & Lounge in Upper Kirby has emerged as one of Houston’s hottest new magnets for celebrity dining and nightlife. The upscale late-night restaurant and lounge is drawing major star power, with recent high-profile sightings that include artist GloRilla, legendary NBA star Shaquille O’Neal, Instagram sensation and entrepreneur Jayda Cheaves, and rap legend 50 Cent, who hosted an exclusive Branson Cognac dinner at the venue!
Also recently spotted: Atlanta rappers Gunna, and Hunxho, Brooklyn-raised rapper Fabolous, and R&B Star Pleasure P, among other notable guests from the worlds of music, entertainment, and digital media!
Beyond the star power, the dishes these celebrities are choosing are also generating a buzz. Fabolous hosted a private D’Ussé dinner and indulged in the Salmon topped with a white wine garlic butter sauce, paired with brussels sprouts and the signature Strawberry Wings. Gunna opted for Salmon and broccolini, while Hunxho, who celebrated his birthday at Confessions, went all-in on the house favorites: the Strawberry Wings and Lamb Chop Rockefeller. Pleasure P kept things classic with a plate of Lamb Chops, while GloRilla made a grand entrance en route to Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour, sampling nearly every dish on the menu, from entrees to desserts!
Known for its immersive “Confessions After Dark” concept, the restaurant offers a rare, full, chef-driven culinary experience until 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays! Founded by Houston entrepreneur and veteran event curator Sterling Lewis, Confessions blends luxury hospitality with vibrant nightlife, attracting a who’s-who of tastemakers, creatives, and performers.
Lewis is no stranger to the level of service required to entertain high-profile VIPs. He brings over a decade of experience working with luxury hospitality brands and global artists such as Usher, Trey Songz, Tyrese and many more celebs, to the young venue! His vision for Confessions was to create an upscale, vibrant space where every experience feels indulgent, unexpected, and elevated.
“Confessions was designed to be more than just a restaurant,” said Lewis. “It’s about creating a space that feels sophisticated, yet unpretentious – a place where every night has the potential to turn into something unforgettable, and you never know who you might see. Every guest is part of our story and should feel like they’re part of something special, no matter what their status or the occasion.”
The menu, designed by Lewis himself, merges Southern American comfort cuisine with bold global influences. Signature dishes such as the Honey Truffle Chicken, Lamb Chop Rockefeller, and Spicy Grilled Ceaser Salad, are favorites among diners. The house-made Confession Strawberry Wings have become a breakout item, with a sweet-and-savory twist on the classic wing, glazed in a house-made strawberry reduction that balances tangy heat with rich fruit notes!
Confessions is not just making noise with its food and celebrity guests. The space itself is a visual feast, featuring colorful street art-inspired décor, plush seating, a vibrant patio with a life-sized swing, and a luxe private lounge with live DJs and bartender. With full-service table-side cocktails, curated beats, and Premium Shisha, the restaurant flows from upscale dinner service to nightlife vibes without losing its edge on sophisticated quality and hospitality.
With an aesthetic that is as polished as its clientele, Confessions is quickly gaining ground as a go-to destination for celebrities and discerning diners alike in Houston. Confessions, located at 3200 Kirby Drive, Suite 2A, is open from 4 p.m. to 12 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, and until 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday for its “After Dark” experience.
