The Ginger Man Pub

The Ginger Man Pub

Boasting what the bar claims is "America's largest selection of import draughts," the Ginger Man surely has a brew to suit you amongst the 68 on draft and additional 140-150 bottled suds.
Under The Volcano

Under The Volcano

Don't miss the "steak night" special on Monday nights, when a 16-ounce USDA Choice ribeye with tossed salad and mashed potatoes is a bargain.
Dan Electro's Guitar Bar

Dan Electro's Guitar Bar

A smattering of old guitars and groovy fluorescent skating-rink stars decorate the walls, and Dan Electro's corner stage has played host to too many local and regional names to count (most often blues, folk, roots-rock and hard rock).

  • 3rd Bar

    3rd Bar

    2600 Travis Houston, TX 77006
    713-526-8282

    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 >>

  • 5th Amendment Bar

    5th Amendment Bar

    2900 Travis Houston, TX 77006
    832-474-3394

    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 >>

  • The 611

    The 611

    611 Hyde Park Blvd. Houston, TX 77006
    713-526-7070

    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 >>

  • Absinthe

    Absinthe

    609 Richmond Houston, TX 77006
    713-528-7575

    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 >>

  • Anderson Fair Retail Restaurant

    Anderson Fair Retail Restaurant

    2007 Grant Houston, TX 77006
    832-212-4057

    http://www.andersonfair.com Anderson Fair's inconspicuous location on Grant Street belies its history as one of the nation's oldest and longest-running singer-songwriter venues. It's a past that's hard to forget, as the walls are plastered with hundreds of posters, flyers and photographs of folks who have graced the main room's small stage, including legends Townes Van Zandt and Lyle Lovett. (Look closely and you'll even spot a pair of gold records from Lovett himself.) The cash-only bar serves an array of beer and wine while you take in an intimate performance from some highway-trotting troubadour, and you'll feel the history seeping into your skin.

  • Anvil Bar & Refuge

    Anvil Bar & Refuge

    1424 Westheimer Houston, TX 77006
    713-523-1622

    http://www.anvilhouston.com Anvil Bar & Refuge is like the Jay-Z of Houston bars. It can do no wrong, from the food to the drinks to the skill of the bartenders. Since opening in mid-2009, it has become the standard by which most other local bars define themselves. They either want to be better than Anvil, or not as supposedly "snooty" or "posh" as they think it is. Either one is a sign of the impact the Westheimer drinkery has had. You can't drive three blocks inside the Loop without finding a new gastropub either tweaking Anvil's concept or stealing it outright. Anvil makes drinks the way they should be made, with homemade ingredients, craft liquors, loving care, and no soda nozzles or Red Bull. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>

  • AvantGarden

    AvantGarden

    411 Westheimer Houston, TX 77006
    832-519-1429

    http://www.avantgardenhouston.com Millions of scenes ago, AvantGarden was called the Mausoleum, and then the converted house went through a variety of structural and aesthetic changes to become the folkie playground it is today. Local singer-songwriters' acoustic jangle routinely packs the house as listeners sip Shiners, Merlot or the venue's trademark fruit-infused homemade concoctions. (Try the sangria.) Many of Houston's best-known troubadors count AvantGarden as the first venue they ever played in front of a large audience, either in the upstairs performance space or downstairs among the fireplace, mirrored walls and European-style divans. Something interesting, if not downright captivating, is happening here most nights of the week - regular tango, jazz, and open-mike nights (both music and comedy), to name just a few.

  • Bar Munich

    Bar Munich

    2616 Louisiana St. Houston, TX 77006
    713-523-1008

    http://www.barmunich.com In the midst of Midtown's bustling bar universe sits Bar Munich. The bar's Web site heavily touts its German leanings, a welcome change from Midtown's usual yuppie hustle and bustle - but don't get too excited, there are no busty girls in dirndls serving suds or oom-pah bands playing on the patio. Think modern Germany, where you might find Teutonic twentysomethings taking up WiFi space and watching soccer matches. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>

  • Bayou City Bar & Grill

    Bayou City Bar & Grill

    2409 Grant St. Houston, TX 77006
    713-522-2867

    http://www.bayoucitybar.com Right across the street from South Beach in the heart of Montrose is Bayou City Bar & Grill, a quaint and more intimate version of its neighbor. It gets a bit crowded on the weekends, but Bayou City is also one of the area's livelier spots during the week. A dance floor and a few places to sit surround the bar in the middle of the club, which serves up $2 domestic beers from 4-8 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. Tuesdays are also amateur strip night, and the ever-popular "50-cent Fridays" are still in effect. The black lights on the dance floor are harsh on white clothing, but with the amount of bare skin on display here, that isn't too much of a problem. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>

  • Blur

    Blur

    710 Pacific Houston, TX 77006
    713-529-3447

    http://www.blurbar.com When Blur's door opens, smoke comes tumbling out. This 18-and-up club forms one corner of a Pacific Street triangle, with J.R.'s and Montrose Mining Company across the road. The first floor features a smoke-filled dance floor with techno favorites and house beats, while a sizable porch waits out back. The second floor has a quieter bar setting with nooks and crannies to disappear into, along with two balconies overlooking Pacific. Any night Blur is open is a good night for Top 40 remixes; Sundays feature musica Latina. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>

  • Boheme Cafe & Wine Bar

    Boheme Cafe & Wine Bar

    307 Fairview Houston, TX 77006
    713-529-1099

    http://www.barboheme.com Boheme's moody lighting, wraparound patio, and eclectic smattering of classy chairs and couches make for a charming atmosphere to enjoy Montrose's neighborhood color. Boheme's homemade sangria is a big hit, and thanks to the second bar on the back patio, grabbing a drink is even faster when there's a weekend crowd. The menu features bistro-style American and European upscale-casual fare. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>

  • Boondocks

    Boondocks

    1417 Westheimer Houston, TX 77006
    713-522-8500

    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.

  • Brazos River Bottom

    Brazos River Bottom

    2400 Brazos Houston, TX 77006
    713-528-9192

    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 >>

  • Candy

    Candy

    3030 Travis Houston, TX 77006
    832-283-2088

    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.

  • Catbirds

    Catbirds

    1336 Westheimer Houston, TX 77006
    713-523-8000

    http://www.catbirds.com Located just a few blocks past the Montrose and Westheimer intersection, the jazzy Catbirds is a quiet bastion of old-school cool in the neighborhood. It has a unique vibe that can't quite be pinned down. It's ridiculously bright inside, the better to see all your nightly conquests we suppose. The drinks are never mild, the beer is always cold and there are always shenanigans going down on the small wood patio. Some nights bar staff can be seen tending to a barbecue pit on the front sidewalk, for those not down with the fast-food offerings surrounding the bar. Most nights all of your boutique beers and liquors are on special, and the Jagermeister flows like water. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>

  • Celtic Gardens

    Celtic Gardens

    2300 Louisiana St. Houston, TX 77006
    713-900-2500

    http://www.facebook.com/celticgardens Celtic Garden come armed with a huge – we mean it – patio full of tables, televisions, and comfy seating, the bar seems more like a place to plop down until closing time rather than a evening jump-off point. During good weather, the inside bar also becomes the outside bar, with shutters than can come to serve those in the A/C and those braving the elements. Celtic Garden is incredibly clean, no frills, except for those sleepalicious couches of course, and worthy of a visit for those looking to hold court with a big crowd. Stick with the Garden for the long haul and you will be rewarded. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>

  • Cezanne Jazz Club

    Cezanne Jazz Club

    4100 Montrose Houston, TX 77006
    713-522-9621

    http://www.blacklabradorpub.com Touted as one of Houston's best jazz clubs, this snug but comfortable space resides above the Black Labrador pub near the intersection of Richmond and Montrose. Cézanne is only open Friday and Saturday from 8:30 p.m. until midnight, but the music usually packs the place to capacity as patrons line the walls, bar and dozen tables; the grand piano makes a natural centerpiece for the room. The cover charge is automatically added to your bar tab, and guests are required to purchase at least one drink. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>

  • Community Bar

    Community Bar

    2703 Smith Houston, TX 77006
    713-526-1576

    http://www.facebook.com/CommunityBar Community Bar's atmosphere caters toward more mature adults. Meaning that it is neat and quaint without a lot of cutesy ironic stuff on the walls. It sometimes gets forgotten in the Midtown bar mix, which is a shame. It boasts a stellar bar food menu that fuses several different types of cuisine. The bar's Tuesday steak nights are the truth, and the stuff that Wednesday lunches are made of due to the portion sizes. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>

  • Crocker

    Crocker's

    2312 Crocker Houston, TX 77006
    713-529-3355

    During the week, Crocker's is a neighborhood gay bar, but the music, lighting and decor - like the stripper pole in the back - make it feel more like a full-on nightclub. On the weekends, Crocker's hires a DJ and becomes just that, and a packed club to boot. Monday through Thursday, happy hour lasts from the moment the doors open at 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., with $2 wells/domestics and $3 imports/calls all the way to closing time on Mondays and Wednesdays. And if the weekend was a little too crazy, Crockers even has its own surefire hangover cure - $1 vodkas from noon until close on Sundays. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>

  • Dog House Tavern

    Dog House Tavern

    2517 Bagby Houston, TX 77006
    713-520-1118

    DHT is a spacious and dark place, located a block from Spec's in the heart of resurgent Midtown drinking district. What you get is a relaxed and sleepy vibe, even when the pool tables in back grow lively with sharks of varying talent. The front of the house has plenty of tables and leather benches to sprawl your party out on, or just resign yourself to another glass of well bourbon. Parking can be an issue with the small commercial lot filled with non-drinking folk early in the evening, but by the witching hour you should be aces. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>

  • EJ

    EJ's On Ralph

    2517 Ralph Houston, TX 77006
    713-527-9071

    http://www.ejsbar.com EJ's is hidden in plain sight, just off a Westheimer cross street in the heart of Montrose. Despite its somewhat nondescript entrance - a door with a sign next to it bearing the club's name - inside patrons will find a modernized, mildly upscale bar with reasonable prices, a friendly staff and several rooms to explore. One is filled with couches and comfy chairs, another is a pool room, and yet another holds a stage for the amateur male strip nights on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The bar itself is set in the middle of the final room, giving customers a 360-degree radius in which to purchase beverages, perhaps to take to the jungle-like two-story patio out back. By the way, EJ's opens at 7 a.m. Seriously. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>

  • Etro Lounge

    Etro Lounge

    1424 Westheimer Houston, TX 77006
    713-529-3449

    http://www.etrolounge.com Nestled off the main Westheimer drag, the almost-hidden Etro Lounge couldn't find a better place to blend into the area's surly bar scene. When the swells at Anvil next door just rub your rhubarb the wrong way and the kids across the street at Boondocks aren't doing it for you, one can always duck over here. The sounds here range from New Wave and the odd spooky dance track, not too terribly far removed from what you would hear at on any given night at Numbers a few blocks down the street. The two-level haunt offers plenty of nooks and crannies perfect for conversation and other adult stuff. Drinks come stiff and reasonably priced, and you can always expect the patio to be full of grown-up Goth boys and girls getting their nicotine fix. Read more about this Houston bar or club >>

  • F Bar

    F Bar

    202 Tuam St. Houston, TX 77006
    713-522-3227

    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

    The Fairview

    315 Fairview Houston, TX 77006
    713-807-0301

    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 >>

  • The Flat

    The Flat

    1701 Commonwealth Houston, TX 77006
    713-521-3528

    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 >>
