Carrington's Billards

It's been a few years since I last came here. Since that time, I've had some conversations with a number of friends, acquaintances, and others about Carros. The common advice is get here for happy hour then leave when it's over. As I sit here, waiting on my cousin, I see that they pour nice. I'm drinking Malibu because I prefer low calorie alcohol when I can find it. They pour it pretty nice, as you can tell from the photo I posted earlier. It's only $3! The bartender is rather nice as well. I'm going to make sure I tip her well, of course.As far as the ambiance goes, it's rather chill with Hip-Hop/R&B playing in the background. There are around 10 people in here, including myself. When I first arrived, around 6:06pm, there were only about 6 people here. There aren't that many cars in the parking lot, so it's a great place to duck in if you want to grab some drinks when you want to wait for the traffic to die down. Although I am not eating, they seem okay with folks bringing food. ABC local news is playing on the TV and a basketball game is about to play. If you're looking for a low priced, well poured, chilled environment happy hour to hit up, check them out. $5 for brown liquor and $3 for clear. I'm here on a Tuesday!

This club was a cool ghetto spot. There was a $10 cover. Drinks were reasonably priced, they need more bartenders tho. However there DJ is a rude prick ass fat boy. Went to the booth to request a song. He sqinched his face up and said no I can't play that. He was dismissive and disrespectful. Another I didn't like was the raggedy speakers. Music was sub par because of them horrible speakers. Invest in ya ghetto spot. However I must say it was a scene. There was a exuberant amount of cars, a plethora a MEN and FOOD. The crowd was cool

This place is a good time. Fridays and Saturdays are the best nights to go! You don't have to dress fancy you can dress casual and have the time of your life. Top shelf drinks are less then $10 bucks. I have gotten Hennessy and Parton for $6 each. The bartenders are nice it doesn't take long to get a drink at all. There is a cover charge usually between $5-$10. Parking is free they are located in a shopping plaza with a huge lot. I suggest going before midnight because the parking lot gets packed. It's mostly an African American crowd with popular rap music playing all night.If your looking for a good time in Houston I suggest going here.

So as you can tell by my picture, I'm a Black man. This place, though open and welcome to all people, caters more towards the Black urban community of the city of Houston. These type of places are becoming more rare due to the process of gentrification happening in the city, but Carrington's stands out as one of the best in the city.With very cheap drinks and great music (specifically southern, HTX hip hop) is the kind of ambiance that's becoming more difficult to find over time. The reason it gets 3 stars is simple, no seating and cover charge. If they had seating options and no cover, it would be a 5 star establishment to me. But because I hate having to stand all night and paying covers makes my blood boil - 3 stars.

~A foolproof test to determine if you can handle Carro's~Name the song based on these lyrics: "Slow, loud, and bangin' all in my trunk. Trunk full of skunk. I ain't neva been a punk!" Don't know this song? Maybe Carro's isn't for you. I've had *too* many great nights here. This *is* the hood Houston bar, but ALL walks of life frequent this place. You can't beat the music, the $5 Hennessy (!!!), and the feeling of being at home. As an HBCU grad who now lives in Corporate America 5 days a week, I get a sense of nostalgia when I visit Carro's. I'm not always in the mood for a night here, but when I do visit this place, I'm always guaranteed a good time. Plus, there's no true pressure to get all dolled up. I've walked into Carro's barefaced, wearing a plain white tee. On Fridays, the chicken man sells the most delicious fried chicken boxes. Get there before 10 to catch him!

It was a fun experience. the waitress was really sweet. I think she knew I was an out of towner. DrInks have a REAL NICE pour. Fun atmosphere, there for monday night football. I would probably be returning when I visit again.

Came tonight to grab a few drinks and a hookah. Very slow night only about 5 people in the spot. It took 30 minutes ATLEAST to get a hookah after ordering one. Despite no one being there is wild. This is after tipping 25% (I don't know why there is an option to tip before and not after) especially when you get average service at best. They finally dropped my hookah after 30 mins. I went to my car to make a call for work. I came back and my hookah was gone. You can't make this up. Black business make it so hard to support them at times. I won't be back.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Good selection. Great place to go after a game at NRG.

I enjoyed my visit to "Carros" with work friends this past Saturday night. A few quick observations. First and foremost everyone is there to have a good time, the place has a great vibe for trap music. Second, the place has five separate bars to accommodate everyone's request for very reasonable drink orders very quickly. I don't believe I waited more than two minutes for any drink order. Lastly, in the event that someone goes with the intent of not having a good time and causing problems, there's more than enough security to manage any issues before they even happen.

I've been coming to this place for over 20 years if you want a great time this is the place to be on my Monday and Friday nights and if your into the younger crowd then Saturday nights will be a blast
