1. SCOUT BAR Scout Bar brings plenty of alternative, ska and metal to go with a Space Shuttle full of "active rock," making it Clear Lake's full-service dealership for anyone in the mood to party. To go along with anyone from Sevendust and Skid Row to Days of the New and Peter Murphy (!), the venue also hosts 94.5 FM's longstanding "Texas Buzz" local-artist showcase on Sunday nights, and has its own in-house dance club known as the Green Room. Finally, Scout Bar also books old-school rap acts to die for like Cypress Hill, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and the one and only Sir-Mix-a-Lot next month. Wonder why these last few bars here are all outside the Loop? It's because people in Houston proper just can't handle this much fun.
