http://www.facebook.com/2016mainstage This ground-level nightclub has anchored the condominium/retail complex at 2016 Main for years, but Mainstage has undergone a major renovation since it was known as Sammy's. The interior cast in a blue light gives 2016 an air of electricity, as house music and DJ nights get people on the dance floor, and most Fridays brings party-rocking cover bands like the Spazmatics. Now open Wednesday through Saturday, Mainstage plans to add Sundays soon. A few small VIP landings offer a semblance of privacy, and the back room (available for reservations) is a cozy little lounge awash in red décor, with its own bar to boot. Parking is still a hassle in the area, but if you don't mind walking a few blocks from your car, you should be aces. More >>
http://www.myspace.com/amazoniaclub Amazonia sits on the corner of a north Houston strip center, where it entertains a host of Spanish-speaking clientele Thursdays through Sundays. Live music or DJs draw in the crowd most nights, but Thursday's soundtrack is the universal language of karaoke. With a lot of reggaeton, other tropical rhythms and hip-hop bouncing through the speakers, Amazonia's dance floor stays almost too crowded. Patrons can find relief at one of the two big bars in the corners, though, or settle in at the tables scattered around the walls. More >>
http://www.amedeos.net This has been one of the better restaurants in the Humble/Kingwood area for more than 20 years. The bar area is a comfortable place to unwind or grab a quick bite, while the expansive dining area is slightly more formal. The menu leans heavily toward Italy, but it also has many Continental influences. The grilled brie appetizer covered with a rosemary-blackberry sauce and the veal Portofino topped with shrimp and scallops are delightful. More >>
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. More >>
http://www.arenahouston.com With a capacity of about 2,750, Arena Theatre is the redheaded stepchild of Houston music venues. Even with all the competition it has these days, the Arena manages to keep the lights on most nights out of the month. Its calendar is constantly crowded with music across a wide variety of styles, including R&B, blues, country, rap, Latin and rock, plus comedy, boxing and MMA fighting. The seats are comfortable, the concessions are reasonable (even the cocktails), the sound is clean, the rotating stage never ceases to be a novelty and the gallery of posters for past shows in the walkway leading from the parking garage is second to none.

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. More >>
http://www.backstreetcafe.net An easy tropical patio is Backstreet Cafe's chief lure -- that, and the food is better than it has to be. Specials at this New American restaurant in River Oaks include a meat-loaf tower and pecan-crusted chicken. More >>
http://www.sherlockspubco.com Within the Sherlock's family, every Baker Street Pub is the same, and every Baker Street Pub is different: heavy, rich wooden tables and chairs, comfy leather booths and plenty of nooks beckoning groups of friends to settle in for the night. The menu is loaded with standard pub fare, including some authentic British dishes, and the décor is bound to include a smattering of beer signs, England references and mood lighting. The Rice Village location caters to nearby students as well as folks from the neighborhood, and boasts a kitchen that serves grub right up until 2 a.m. When the weather is amiable, the welcoming front patio makes a fine hangout.

http://www.bayoumusiccenter.com Home for mid-level national touring acts, mostly rock and country artists either on the rise or past their commercial heyday, the Bayou Music Center can accommodate a mosh pit one night and cabaret seating the next. With excellent sound, sight lines and -- most important -- easy-access restrooms, you can fill your bladder on overly priced beer and empty it while missing only a couple of choruses. More >>
