http://www.facebook.com/nineteenth.hole Way out on the border of the Woodlands, in what is technically still Spring, lies the smoky, dimly lit 19th Hole. It's really several bars under one roof: Sports bar, neighborhood hangout, pool hall, and music venue on nights when the curtained-off back room is open. Behind the pool tables up front, any of the clustered mass of tables has a great view of the bar's many big screens; some booths have their own televisions too. Don't be surprised to hear 19th Hole's bartenders asking customers if they'd like "the usual," either. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.facebook.com/2ADAYSSPORTSBAR This is Pearland's de facto sports bar, in a growing town that is still sweet on the bring-your-own-liquor dives and the odd chain wing joint. 2 A Days location off Pearland Parkway makes it almost centrally-located for the drinking suburbanites and the folks who live off the adjacent Beltway 8. When this place gets busy, expect a few minutes for a beer, but the scenery, with suburban beauty queens and amateur bodybuilders preening for each other, should make you forget the wait for your Shiner draft.

http://www.20belowsportslounge.com This shiny new sports bar boasts 28 different martinis - hence the glass in the logo - and a massive 200-inch projection screen. The large single room is split by a U-shaped bar top, with 25 barstools awaiting customers. The right side of the bar has games such as pool, darts and Golden Tee, while a stage is on the left. A lounge-style landing, complete with fireplace and plump leather couches, sits in the back corner. 20 Below's kitchen pumps out food daily, from sliders and bigger burgers to a "Sunday NFL Breakfast" during football season.

http://www.fourpoints.com/houstonsouthwest 2828 Lounge is the hotel bar of the Sheraton Four Points near Greenway Plaza, so most of its customers are either passing through Houston or meeting someone who is. Lacking the distractions of club lights and loud music, the bar is well-lit with plenty of cozy seating, a few televisions and a pair of computers, and a full slate of libations. 2828 might not be a traditional hotel lounge, but it makes a good hideaway for those wanting a spot a bit off the map.

http://www.360sportslounge.com 360 Sports Lounge may look like another faceless sports bar from just driving by. But the inside is filled with marble tables, high-backed chairs, dark lighting, a separate room for pool sharks, a small area with a sectional leather couch to watch things without balls, helmets or nets. Provided you're looking for a relaxed atmosphere away from the two-story sports bars and super-chains down the street, this one will satisfy. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.reefhouston.com Few Houston bars allow their clientele to enjoy a nationally acclaimed menu as well, but Third Bar does - it's part of Midtown seafood restaurant Reef, which The New York Times called "electrifying and surprisingly intimate." Located to the left of the building's entrance, 3rd Bar serves finger foods like oysters on the half shell and shrimp spring rolls as you knock back a few cold ones. (Reef proper, where you'll be greeted by smiling waiters in blue jeans, is to the right.) Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner or a quick escape from downtown's hustle and bustle, 3rd Bar offers quality service in an upscale yet relaxed atmosphere. Be warned that parking is not always easy to come by, though. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
This bar's sign, complete with the classic image of a pool player about to break, beckons from a lonely stretch of Fairbanks-North Houston Road. Despite its forlorn location, the hazy 510 is full of chatty regulars, most of whom will introduce themselves in short order. The corner stage hosts a rolling karaoke night, shuffleboard is free, and friendly challenges for the video bowling machine are commonplace. Brews are cheap and cold, and a pair of pool tables awaits those drawn in by that sign. Bustling even on a Tuesday night, 510 Bar feels a bit like a small town, because it almost is a small town.

510 Bar is full of regulars who call each other by name, some of whom are so dedicated that they've each bought one foot of track on the "510 Railroad" that runs above the old wooden bar top. Don't be surprised to hear a "Gig 'Em!" or three: This small spot on Mason Road is Aggie-owned, as several signs throughout proudly testify. A few pool tables rest on a landing to the left of the door - they're free on Wednesday and Thursday - and a small stage in the back hosts music on weekends.

A self-proclaimed "Texas Rock Restaurant and Bar," 55 in Rice Village features a cocktail menu with drinks named after famous Texas artists like Willie Nelon and Janis Joplin – although we recommend sticking with classics here, such as a Manhattan – and a menu that's heavy on comfort food classics. Especially good are the elbow macaroni and cheese in a creamy sauce that's flavored with ham, and the munchable house-made pickles, which feature okra as well as cucumbers. Weekends here generally feature pig roasts and a packed patio. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.5thamendmentbar.com The goal of 5th Amendment is clear: To provide a spot where fun and frivolity abound. Velvet ropes guard the door, and just slipping past the doorman is a feat in itself. Inside, a large dance floor bustles with movement, with women, liquor, and men fawning over both. Fog machines pump in a hazy atmosphere while a professional lighting rig bounces lasers around the room. Private tables, complete with bottle service, line the dance floor as well as an elevated landing overlooking all the action. The two bars inside are big enough to handle quite a crowd, and a patio is available when escaping the dancing is necessary. This one is a favorite with local rappers and visiting celebs, so you'll never know who you may be run into in the restroom. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
A converted house with green wood panels, antique Tiffany lamps and beat-up barstools, the 611 (aka Hyde Park Pub) is more intimate than the flashier nearby venues. The decor and lively regulars hovering around the bar give it a neighborhood feel, with a pool table and dartboards available as standard barroom amusements. Country, pop and rock fill the air inside, but the patio offers a quieter option to spend your evening hours. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.88keyshouston.com The term "piano bar" often signifies a saloon-like singalong atmosphere filled with pop, country and rock tunes. Not at 88 Keys, however. Big, antique furniture fills the spacious rooms, drinks come across a gorgeous marble bar top, and the ivory-ticklers at this upscale River Oaks lounge are professional pianists of the highest scale. True, we walked in to a smooth version of "Dust In the Wind," but then came Chopin and Lizst, and all of a sudden it felt like the hotel bar of the Ritz-Carlton.

http://www.abbeypubkaty.com Making its home in a strip center tucked off of Fry Road, this neighborhood pub has an older charm. The bar still allows smoking inside and plays host to a weekly comedy showcase, a monthly metal night and cover bands on the weekend. The large interior houses three pool tables, several bar games, plenty of seating and a performance stage. Three televisions hang over an angled bar that has room for around 20 people. The blackened windows create a dark atmosphere that makes the Abbey a comfortable hideout no matter the time of day, and a large projection screen pulls down over the stage.

http://www.absinthelounge.com Absinthe overflows with lush libations in an unmarked lower Montrose building that looks like an office warehouse. Ideal for date night or a low-key nightcap, the low-lit lounge offers a variety of martinis, beer and wine to accompany signature "Green Fairy" cocktails such as the Hallucinating Melon, Inferno or Hemingway's Revenge. The bar seating is supplemented by some couches up front and tables in the back room. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.addixhouston.com Yet another Washington Avenue bar that has turned over in 2012, Addix was once Kobain, a well-liked haunt on a side street off Waugh, just blocks from the avenue. Where Kobain had a charm to it -- and a great Scotch selection -- Addix seems to not know what it wants to be. Dance club or patio bar? Hopefully it finds out soon.

http://www.agorahouston.com Westheimer's vital wine-and-coffee hotspot teems with life every night of the week. The Greek-themed Montrose study-like drinkery is perfect for a night studying with fellow collegiate types, or just a quiet first-date night, to suss out whether or not your current crush is worth keeping around. Plenty of wine varieties are available for the discriminating palette, and be sure to check out the jukebox. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.alsbar.com The newly renovated Al's Sports Bar, on the edge of George Bush Park near Highway 6, is a lively, rowdy suburban watering hole. Besides lots of TV screens and tank-top-clad waitresses, the football goalpost by the bar leaves no doubt about Al's sporting nature - shouts and sighs carry through the establishment right up to the final play. Besides any game you could possibly want to watch, Al's features live music on the weekends, Texas Hold 'Em tournaments Tuesdays and Thursdays, and a weekly lingerie show on Wednesdays.

An East Texas beer joint slap-bang in the middle of the inner city, the Tall Texan is as country as cornbread. Ray Price, Charley Pride and George Strait vie for space on the bar's jukebox, and the parking lot is always packed day and night. The main attraction here is the beer with Shiner and Lone Star served up ice-cold in enormous fish-bowl-shaped goblets. A night in here will convince you it's 1962 again, and so will the low prices and the vintage Patsy Cline blasting out of the box. If she doesn't make you fall to pieces, then the cheap beer will.
