Cullen’s American Grille has emerged as one of the most popular restaurants in Clear Lake and the Houston Area. At a massive 38,000 square feet, the restaurant’s 200-plus seat dining room, nightclub, and eight private rooms can accommodate almost 1,000 people. The restaurant’s bar, which features over 360 American whiskeys from 12 states, as well as whisky from Scotland, Ireland, Tasmania and Japan. Starting at $15, you’ve got a selection of about 80 whiskeys you can choose from to get a one-ounce pour of each one of those whiskeys. Currently, the restaurant’s most expensive pour is Macallan Flask, which is one of 400 bottles and sells for about $400 an ounce. Cullen’s also has one of the 273 bottles of Michter’s Celebration bourbon that it’s selling for $10,000, but they’re both about to be supplanted by something far more expensive.
