Featured Bars/Clubs


http://www.theboomboomroomhouston.com This Heights wine bar has a funky, bold, colorful '60s decor, and serves some of the best bar food around, with live music to boot. Boom Boom Room has an extensive international wine list, offering many by the glass, along with some wonderful beers. At lunch, it's easy to fill up on their panini - there's salami, beef and tuna versions, to name a few - and the cheese plate and mezze platter both go down well with the wines. Try the homemade strawberry shortcake. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.myspace.com/boondocksbar Since opening in Summer 2007, Boondocks has become the third corner of the Lower Westheimer triangle with Poison Girl and Catbirds. It's not just the stellar jukebox, massive smoking area outside, or the storied but seldom-working photo booth - it's that any night of the week, you can experience any scene or genre you want. Boons very much represents young Montrose, and has gone through a few changes recently. It's become more geared to electro nights and dance parties, and has instituted karaoke on Sunday evenings. It's still the best bet in Montrose for holding a throwdown with a big group of friends, or just lounging on the patio with the rest of the tobacco-loving crowd in the evening.

http://www.myspace.com/bourbonstreetsportsbar Katy's Bourbon Street can feel as boisterous as its New Orleans namesake. The spacious room frames a bar top with well after well of libations, and the stage in the far corner hosts a rowdy karaoke night and live music on the weekends. Several pool tables occupy the front of the room, and nightly tournaments are held at the four poker tables in the back. Smoking is still allowed inside, so Bourbon Street can end up quite hazy by the end of the night. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.brbtx.com Now in it's third decade of business, Brazos River Bottom welcomes all comers, be they cowpoke or otherwise; following Mary's closure, it inherited the title of Houston's oldest gay bar in its original location. Known as an amiable meeting place for those who dig the cowboy vibe, BRB has pool tables, pinball, a back patio, a side bar aptly named The Sidepocket and a dance floor that dates from the days when the 1887 building's Midtown address was "out in the suburbs." The very friendly staff will take the time to know you by name, whether on a slow Monday or raucous weekend. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Brewery-Tap-Houston-Texas A state historical marker outside the Brewery Tap honors the building's past as one of Houston's biggest breweries, which at one point took up several acres of what is now prime downtown real estate. Housed in the old Houston Ice & Brewing Company building (the actual brewery shuttered in 1950), the bar has an old-school luster otherwise only found downtown at La Carafe or Warren's Inn a few blocks east. Depending on the season, the Brewery Tap is also a perfect spot to lay low after an Astros or Rockets game. Sharing the building with the Brewery Tap, the Magnolia Ballroom hosts wedding receptions and the like in its grand halls. If you come on the right night, you can sometimes catch a punk show too.

http://www.myspace.com/brewskispub On the outskirts of town, Brewski's makes a fine hideaway. Though the bar area may be small, there are seats aplenty and a large, tree-covered patio. The taps mostly pour American standards, but the bottled selection of suds expands drinkers' options considerably. Six televisions provide every seat a view of whatever game is currently onscreen, daily specials pull in the neighborhood regulars and Wednesdays and Saturdays bring live music.

http://www.brianoneills.com This Rice Village bar is a fixture on that neighborhood's bar scene, and it's a mandatory stop for any party blazing a path through the 'hood on the weekends. There's a roomy outdoor patio, cover bands reel out the hits on the weekends, and you can always expect to leave walking at an angle. Since 2002 it's been a proving ground for Rice University livers and a favorite of the older set who enjoy the dark ambience and — gasp — accessible seating. Space at the bar is cramped with guys and gals flirting, so make sure you just post up at a table and make nice with a roving waiter or waitress to keep yourself lubricated.

http://www.brickhousetavernandtap.com Brick House's big screen TVs are strategically placed so that one is always within view. Comfortable leather sofas are available in the lounge. Waitresses and bartenders are dressed in short denim shorts and tight black tops. The food ranges from typical bar food to more somewhat healthier fare such as Caesar salads, herb roasted chicken, and grilled mahi mahi. With the dessert menu entitled "The Happy Ending," Brick House is geared more toward the bachelor than the family man. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.brixxhouston.com Brixx was once a three-car garage, back when garages and warehouses far outnumbered nightclubs on the street - but it manages to house a DJ booth, dance floor, and several couches around an indoor/outdoor horseshoe-shaped bar. The spacious patio has several tables out front, comfortable booths along the left side, and a large deck behind the building. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.facebook.com/thebronxbar Bronx Bar may market itself as a mildly upscale nightclub, dress code and all, but it's more of a local hotspot for college kids looking to party than anything else. The door men are allegedly difficult to get past, according to a number of Yelpers, but not enough to keep away the masses. Every weekend, the venue is packed with West University locals and visitors who are more interested in dancing to loud, club music than sitting, talking and knocking back a few. Given its proximity to Ginger Man, Brian O'Neils and Baker Street Pub, it may be the perfect getaway from your normal trip to the Village, without straying far from the beaten path.

Bubba's remains a refuge and ultimate neighborhood hang for the Rice Military drinking class. Though it may look small from the road, but it's bigger than you think. The spirits and beer selection is likewise small, but adequate for a bar that stays simple and true to its patrons. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.trackshackicehouse.com The Track Shack is a country bar that feels like a country bar - solid and friendly, with a lot of wood. The brews are cheap and the walls are littered with clever signs, plus photos of Marines and local FFA kids with their animals. Amiable groups chat over drinks at the big picnic tables or seated on the large leather-covered logs that function as barstools. The Tuesday and Friday karaoke nights bring forth a litany of honky-tonk tearjerkers, and the kitchen cooks up grub Tuesday through Saturday. And as any proper country joint should, Buck's has an ample porch for both shooting and enjoying the breeze. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.buffalofredsicehouse.com This family-run north Heights neighborhood bar and biker haunt sits on North Shepherd just inside the Loop, offering cold beers, a smattering of televisions to watch the games, and friendly faces making the pours. Throw in a few pool tables and a nice back patio, and customers can be hard-pressed to leave. When the weather's nice, the garage doors roll up to let the breeze blow through, and Fred's regulars swear by the barbecue that often shows up on the weekends.

http://www.thebullandbear-tavernandeatery.com A location in the ex-pat dense west suburbs of Houston means that The Bull & Bear is often packed with Englishmen, Irishmen, Scots and Welshmen -- all likely there for the massive selection of sporting matches The Bull & Bear screens daily. When a match is on, settle in at your table -- if you can find one -- and indulge in comforting pub dishes like chicken curry and a mound of chips or the best cottage pie in town. No tables? Score a seat at the long, well-tended mahogany bar. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
http://www.bullpenpizza.com This upstart sports pub opened a scant five months ago and quickly became a favorite among Sugar Land locals. The kitchen dishes out a full lineup of eats, including - wouldn't you know it? - pizzas. The small stage in the front of the room hosts bands and DJs, but Bullpen is a sports bar first and foremost, and a lively one at that. The standing-height bar is lined with big screens and liquor bottles, and out back on the big patio is a second full bar, well suited to al fresco drinking when the weather is nice.

The Burlap Barrel Pub may have been a lively place before the ambitious, open-air shopping and residence hub of CityCentre came along, but now it seems to be packed every night. Valet attendants pop up to talk about their day, regulars watch sports and listen to live music, while others make use of the ping-pong and pool tables. Pints are only $3, and a diverse, laid-back crowd makes Burlap Barrel equally well-suited for making friends or meeting up with your own. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>
Nestled in a Westheimer strip center apparently dedicated to the cuisine of almost every country in the world, Cafe Europe mixes old-world lounging with new-school bar culture. A coffeehouse with a full bar and hookah pipes, it is neither as wooly as a java joint nor as grizzled as a full-on liquor spot. The drink menu mainly includes wine, coffee drinks (with a kick of whatever distilled spirit you desire) and a host of beers. We tried the Black Russian, which is really just vodka and black coffee, and chased it with a sedate cup of proper hot tea - saucer and all. Cafe Europe is a surefire bet for a date all by itself, or as a nightcap after a meal at one of its many Indian and Mediterranean restaurant neighbors. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>

http://www.candyhouston.com In the heart of Midtown's cluster of clubs and lounges, Candy aspires to be its next big dance venue. The sign over the bar beckons patrons with sparkly allure; VIPs can survey the dance floor from a large landing, and bottle service is common at the small tables along the wall-length couch. A second bar near the door and cozy couch-filled patio relieve crowd overflow on busy nights - the club is only open on Fridays and Saturdays - allowing patrons to build up a weeklong desire to dance in the interim.
