With its marriage of two disparate services, Char Bar is quite possibly downtown's most peculiar drinkery. What used to be, and in fact still is, a tailor shop opened by Duke Shapiro has been beautifully remade into a Market Square watering hole. A shoeshine booth sits to the left as you enter, followed by a behemoth working counter. The cabinets in the walls are still full of fabric and dress shirts, which, along with the various photos and newspaper clippings plastered around the place, help with the nostalgic feel. Be sure to partake in the bar's frozen vodka or tequila concoctions, which are stronger than they look. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.chaynsclub.com Shrouded by trees in the lower corner of a three-story office building, Chayn's is an inconspicuous spot, and its customers like it like that. The sizeable lounge is a haven for weary business folk during the week and an energetic nightclub come the weekend. Dozens of tables fill the rooms, with plenty of booths, stools, and chairs at the ready, and a beautiful old bar dominates the front. Beyond the dance floor in the middle of the lounge, a second bar waits to assist with larger crowds. On calm nights, Chayn's relaxing, dark atmosphere is a natural companion to the soothing clink of ice cubes in glasses. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
Eight years ago, Cheers 2 U had only one television, the walls were painted turquoise, and beer was sold by the can. Jim Keener, who had moved to Houston two years previous, bought and remodeled it from the ground up - and emblazoned a six-foot Pittsburgh Steelers logo on the front window in honor of his hometown. Today the Mission Bend-area bar is going strong, laid-back during the week and a lively pub on the weekends, especially the Saturday karaoke nights. About once a month, a local band serenades customers celebrating the weekend's arrival, and the drink specials are ever-changing but always priced to move. Since it's illegal to sell a pitcher to an individual, Cheers offers 2.5-pint "Smitchers" to offset that little inconvenience. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.chelseawinebartexas.com Chelsea Wine Bar's artifacts, statues, mirrors and even the bar itself -restored and varnished wood from a Galveston dock - make it feel timeless. Steak and wine specials make it a hit with locals and adventurous Houstonians as well. Whether you're looking to read a book in peace, enjoy live music or sit around catching up with a friend or two, Chelsea has got you covered. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.christianstailgate.com Over the past few years, Houston has watched as the lower Heights area has expanded with new developments, first telegraphed by Onion Creek and Fitzgerald's renaissance on the corner of Studewood and White Oak. The Christian's Tailgate folks were watching, and have opened their third location just a few doors down from Fitz and Jimmy's Ice House to get in on the action. This new Tailgate is built for Texas weather, with an outdoor bar ventilated by a few open garage doors, and a back bar for those less inclined to sweat while they drink. As with the Midtown Tailgate, the burgers are the stars, and the Playboy-lauded victuals are in full effect here. Parking problems have been alleviated by an open lot across the street from the bar, so this location is a perfect spot to pre-game before taking in a concert down the way.

http://www.reverbnation.com/venue/490718 Dimly lit though it may be, its brick walls, wooden shutters and tile bar top make Chuggin' Charlie's Pub look like an old-fashioned pool hall, and lively but manageable regulars have made it a popular northwest-side hangout. Besides specials updated daily on the bar's Facebook page ($4.50 Tuaca and Jaeger Bombs, etc.), Charlie's stage welcomes as many local musicians as some Montrose venues. The amiable but efficient staff ensures patrons never have to go very long without a drink. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.claytonsclub.com This homey restaurant and bar in Greenspoint focuses on live entertainment and drinks, but Clayton's menu isn't an afterthought - American far like steaks, sandwiches, burgers and salads are available until 1 a.m. Happy hour runs until 9 p.m.; check their website for coming events.

http://www.isishouston.com This downtown bar boasts a faux-Greco vibe, from a miniature Corinthian column in the entry to the looming faces high up on the walls. At the rear of the room rests the bar, nestled darkly along the back wall with about a dozen stools. A multitude of plump leather couches offer ample seating at the floor level, providing a comfortable cushion for taking in a performance. The lounge also features an ornate chandelier, along with a huge marbled staircase that leads up to a small terrace level and a second, fully stocked bar. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.facebook.com/roxyhouston The Roxy boasts one of Houston's largest dance floors, beckoning patrons to come shimmy and shake their cares away four nights a week, and a plethora of seating options awaits nearby for when those feet need to rest. Roxy has plenty of everything, not least the numerous wells at the four sizable bars throughout the room. The club's tiered floor levels offer all sorts of people-watching options for those less inclined to get down, while more adventurous types will enjoy the poles in the corners of the dance floor.

http://www.clubsugarhill.com The name Sugarhill is obviously rooted in hip-hop history, and that's because its owner, Tony iLL, is rooted in hip-hop history too. After attempts at a rapping career didn't flourish (he was a renowned battle rapper but could never force himself to create the vaunted "radio single"), and after attempts at starting a record label didn't pan out, iLL eventually figured out his way to contribute to the hip-hop culture he so clearly loves: By opening a bar/nightclub that was meant to do nothing else but champion it. Located in north Houston, Sugarhill has slowly built up an adamant fan base. And with regular shows featuring some of rap's all-time greats (Kool Moe Dee, for example), it (hopefully) won't be going anywhere anytime soon. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Coaches-Pub Wood paneling, street-lamp light fixtures and more plasma screens than a person could find in any electronics store. It looks just as you would imagine, like an Irish pub and a sports bar had a baby together. Though sports seem to bring in more of a crowd here than pints of Guinness, Coaches does a decent job at offering Houstonians both. Typical bar food is available for those in need of a bite to eat, and you can expect the average 20s-30s Midtown crowd in jeans and T-shirts to be omnipresent.
