Eighteen Twenty Lounge

The best bar in Downtown Houston. I love everyone here. Bo, Geana, Enrique, McGinness, Lucy, Liza, Connie, Darlene- y'all all are amazing. Great drinks in COLD ac in Houston.

I wouldn't ordinarily drop by this bar, but my friend insisted we give it a try as we passed by late one Saturday night. Its got a bit of a dark and dreary feel, but I could definitely see why it seems to attract so many regulars. The bartenders were super friendly, and everyone in the bar just seemed to have a great, communal energy. It's the type of place you walk in expecting to have one beer, and leave 5 drinks and 3 new friends later.As Farrah A noted, you and your crew can definitely turn this place out. So, if you're looking for some random fun, come turn Eighteen Twenty up a notch.

EighteenTwenty has been around for a few years already, but the venue itself dates back to the early 70s when it served as a brothel. Just ask cutie with a booty bartender, Michael, or the owner. They have plenty of entertaining stories, and never get tired of sharing them with patrons.Since it's on the outskirts of downtown, regulars consist of peeps that live by nearby lofts, those headed to a game at Minute Maid/Toyota Center, or pre-partying before hitting up Warehouse Live for a good show.What I love best about EighteenTwenty is the look, feel and amazing service. The place is reminicent of "Cheers," and come often, everybody will know your name. Dark mahogany walls, black leather furniture, initimate candel light a few tvs, pool table and jukebox keep the small crowd at ease. But things can get wild here. If you plan on hosting a party of some sort, EighteenTwenty is the kind of bar that you and your gang could easily "take over." As for the menu, Michael can make a mean dirty martini ... and they have a fair selection of beer--Lone Star for peeps like me. Their french bread pizza is the bomb.com, along with their regular pizza, White Castle Burgers, popcorn and other small menu items.HR: 4-8pm (and during all Houston sports team game times) w/dollar off drinksAdded info: They open early if there's a ballgame at Minute Maid. The last Friday of every month, the bar hosts an all-you-can-play game night ($15) with the adjacent Joystix arcade selling company. They do have a private lot that is catercorner to the bar, but you have to pay for parking during games.

This place is a really nice bar. It's located right near Minute Maid park. It's got cool games which are free to play and a cool atmosphere.

Great small bar a block from Minute Maid. Great vibe and laid back crowd. Good selection of beers and cocktails at modest prices, really great compared to the ballpark. Foreign Policy food truck outside on Saturday game day was a nice addition.Owner came by to say hello and thank my son for his service in the USAF. A real class act.I will be back.

(Add) One star: they have alcohol!(Add) One star: it is attached to Joystix and you can bring your drink next door...(Subtract) One star: where totally drunk people, who have NOT been cut off at the bar when they CLEARLY should have, start issuing loud, explicit, and chains of sewer rat profanity when they lose a game ...(Subtract) One star: then getting a drink spilled on you by other clearly drunk people ....(Subtract) One star: then leaving before 2am just because.Two stars is very, very, very generous based on the bar experience - and advice to management: show better judgment in cutting people off, for serious. Two stars instead of one ... only because of Joystix, only because I will be back for another super happy fun time Pacman Fever Friday.

This place has a good, loungy, atmosphere with ice cold air conditioning and ice cold beers. They also have their pinball machine set to "free play" so that's a bonus!

Worst costumer service ever twice I've been and twice Ive had the same experience from the same bartender she always complains about her tips and it's forced out of you verbally....other than that bartender bar is awesome

One of the best gems downtown Houston has to offer!!! Right alongside the most unique gaming museum you will ever see. The vibes are wonderful always and they have a very culture inclusive environment. Make sure you check them out

Love the bar, friendly customers and bartenders, very close to the ballpark. Only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because my tip was manipulated. It was doubled and absolutely not because of illegible numbers. Disappointing.
