Featured Bars and Clubs


http://www.fbarhouston.com Resting squarely on the border of Montrose and Midtown, this dance club is open six nights a week, and the spacious interior caters to the fun-loving crowds of both neighborhoods. Nightly DJs and a weekly drag show fill the corner stage, and the large dance floor in the center of the room is always a flurry of activity. A fanciful chandelier is the room's centerpiece, and F Bar plays favorites via a cash-only "Express Bar." Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
The Fairview caters to it's neighborhood art, cinema and culture lovers. Nonetheless, The Fairview has yet to be taken over by a specific group, with a wide range of regulars and walk-ins every night. Specials vary depending on what's in stock, but the happy hour from 5-9 p.m. Monday through Saturday -- and all day Sunday -- offers $3 wells, $2 Lone Stars and $1 off all beers, liquors and wines. No kitchen, but plenty of free popcorn is available and food trucks are almost always parked somewhere nearby. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.facebook.com/TheFedoraLounge This slim, dark speakeasy is easy to miss while zipping down Bissonnet, but an observant sipper who pulls aside in a moment of curiosity is bound to find a new favorite drinkery. Boasting a vintage liquor display dating to nearly a century ago - from an old Chicago bar, even - and some Edison bulbs in its hanging lamps, Fedora exudes old-school charm. It's small but comfortable, and the kind staff is ready to fill your cup repeatedly. Plans for a patio extension, complete with awning and bocce pitch, should come to fruition soon.

http://www.firehousesaloon.com With a decommissioned fire truck out front and a towering sign above the freeway, it's difficult to miss Firehouse Saloon. Past the rustic façade of the entrance is the main room with three big bars, a dance floor, tables (usually crowded) and a stage where country acts play Thursday through Saturday. Upstairs, a small balcony provides a view over the band, and dozens of boots hang from the rafters as memorials to friends, regulars, and fallen firefighters and servicemen. If twang's not your thing, escape for a smoke on the large patio or watch the game on the handful of TVs in the smaller room near the back. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.firkinandphoenix.com "What the hell is a firkin?" you've probably asked every time you've passed by this Old English-style pub. A firkin is a unit of measurement in true Old English fashion, equal to ¼ of a barrel, or approximately 72 pints. A phoenix is what you feel like when, against all odds, you rise again the morning after you consume a firkin. Firkin & Phoenix features traditional pub fare like cottage pie, bangers, beans and mash, and of course, fish 'n' chips. They've also got more American bar food like burgers and chili dogs, and you can even get some pasta, salads, or finer foods like chicken curry and grilled ribeye steak. They run specials every day, and have karaoke on Thursdays and a free poker tournament on Sundays. Free WiFi, too. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.fitzlivemusic.com Arguably Houston's answer to NYC dive CBGB's since 1977, Heights staple Fitzgerald's can't help but ooze local music history. The historic two-story venue boasts four bars, a killer Wednesday open mic night, and music most every night of the week on the larger upstairs and the smaller more intimate downstairs stages. The neighborhood surrounding it is growing, so parking is always at a premium on the weekends. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.barflathouston.com Best known for its frozen mojitos, this laid-back bar is literally in the neighborhood - it's a converted house surrounded by residential domiciles. Open every day from 7 p.m.-2 a.m., the Flat also serves Jamaican-American-style grub. Local artwork that gets changed out every few months hangs on the yellow walls, and DJ-spun house is the musical flavor of choice. Some say the Flat's most impressive feature is the back porch, which looks contemporary but feels like it's entirely made of found and recycled pieces. Here, patrons keep it quiet for the neighbors, and can actually hear each other's conversations. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.beerknurd.com For beer connoisseurs in the downtown area, there's no better place to taste, toast and toss back a few brews than the Flying Saucer. With hundreds of beers available you'll find yourself coming back for the cheap, fried food and also, maybe, probably, the attractive, ever-inebriated barflies.

A smoky tavern hidden at the dark end of an FM 1960 strip center, The Fountainhead almost defies description. Here, the bartender will not only ask your name, but introduce himself and - get this - sing the Cheers theme "Where Everybody Knows Your Name" on karaoke night, microphone in one hand while pouring drinks with the other. To a stranger, The Fountainhead might look nondescript, but for regulars it's a place where "family" gets together to drink, good-natured jabs are traded, and the pours are nice and stiff. And strangers here don't stay strangers for long. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.foxandhound.com The sprawling Fox & Hound's casino-like carpet, wood-panel walls and reasonable drink prices give far west Houstonians an upscale experience without the corresponding price tag. Sports lovers will flock to the pool tables in the front room and flat-screen TVs on every wall, while those just looking to eat and/or drink can choose from a plethora of European beer selections and Old World menu offerings. Extended hours make Fox & Hound both a workday escape or late-night spot, with a large patio good for business meetings or just relaxing with friends. The bar is especially popular on weekends and during major sporting events, hosting large and boisterous crowds. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
https://www.facebook.com/FoxHollow The cozy yet stylish Fox Hollow is almost completely hidden from the nearby Washington Avenue hubbub, and feels like it. Decorated in English pub style with a modern twist, the bar features antique picture frames and red oval lampshades, with an open-floor layout ideal for larger crowds. For smaller parties, the tables and couches in various nooks offer a more intimate setting to enjoy the bar's already-popular happy hour. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.frontporchpub.com Deep in the heart of Midtown — or, as some call it, Little Dallas — Front Porch Pub is perfect walking distance for condo-dwellers and those in the surrounding neighborhoods. Living up to its name, the bar has a massive front porch that may have a larger footprint than the drinkery's interior. Heavy wood abounds, be it the solid bar top or the hearty tables and chairs filling the space. Big-screen TVs are scattered around the room, and pool and darts offer something to do. Customers will need some activities, after all, if they attempt to work through all fortysomething beers on tap. Weeknights, Front Porch is a calm spot to catch up with friends or wind down from the workday. Weekends, though, the crowd gets crazier and the bustle increases — like most of Midtown. Steak nights on Tuesdays and Thursdays keep the bar busy, and even with the full mouths, it's still loud as hell inside and out. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
