AFTERNOON SHOWERS DIDN'T stop a gorgeous gaggle of yo-pros and creatives from filling downtown’s Z on 23 rooftop lounge to meet Aesha Scott, the standout star of Bravo’s Below Deck reality show.

The dress code was “Nantucket chic with a Texas flair,” and guests sipped sparkling rosé while donning sundresses and linen shirts paired with cowboy hats and boots. As the sun set, DJ Mitch Waring turned on his bubble machine, and the party roared on into the evening. Scott greeted every guest and posed for photos in one of Houston’s more instagrammable spots.

Z on 23 is Houston’s highest open-air rooftop bar, perched atop Le Méridien hotel. Cocktails and bites are on offer daily. "Z on 23 isn't just a rooftop bar,” says Le Méridien Marketing Director Jack Vielhauer. “It's a dynamic meeting spot where creatives, visionaries and innovators come together to inspire and collaborate.

“I'm working to re-envision this rooftop,” he adds, “transforming it into the ultimate hub for creative energy and connection under the stars.”
