"I don't know about Downtown Houston, but living in Southern California, I've been exposed to many of these hipster indoor food courts.We ended up eating at ChopnBlok and got an agua fresca at one of the many available little eats in the area. There's a staircase in the middle of the place that leads to the rooftop but we did not check that out during out visit here. It's a really nice place to walk around and check out all the good food!We didn't quite understand the parking situation at first but there's a QR Code that you scan as you leave and once you enter in your plate number, it'll show you a picture of your car entering the parking lots via camera. You pay in the app and they give you a grace period of 30 minutes to make your way out of the lot and all you have to do is scan the barcode at the gates."

"This place. THIS. PLACE. Such a cool hang, live music and some of the best craft cocktails in the Houston area all in this bada$$ little speakeasy tucked next to the Manbasics barbershop! How rad!"

The Pub 36

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (25)

"Stopped in for lunch today and was very pleased with the experience. The server was prompt and friendly and the food was very good. I had a hamburger steak with loaded mashed potatoes. The steak was good sized and was cooked to order. The seasoning was perfect and I liked that they topped it with sautéed onions. It came with an excellent brown gravy that was served on the side, something I really appreciate. The loaded mashed potatoes were topped with bacon, sour cream, and cheese and were excellent. They were basically a cross between a baked potato and mashed potatoes and will be my side of choice in future visits. Overall a very satisfying lunch in a nice, small town pub!"

Como Social Club

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (16)

"Cute bar inside the Westin on the second floor. It's adjacent to the pool and has a nice balcony area. It got quite crowded with several events (live music, a birthday, wedding group), but the service was amazing! Even if there being a line to order at the bar, the cocktail waitresses were still coming around pretty regularly.Has a nice view of the area, and we were lucky for a cool breeze."

Scott Gertner's Rhythm Room

★★★★☆ 4 (88)

"Never been here before. Saturdays require a $20 entrance fee per person and I highly suggest making a reservation. The tables were pre-assigned and if there are unreserved tables, you can change your table.Evelyn Rubio performed. She did well. She got people on the small dance floor. The place was 95% full by the time the band started.FOOD AND DRINK:Bin 27 Port - 4/5It's served warm and not chilled. It's a semi-sweet red wine.Lemon Drop Martini - 4/5Sweet and couldn't taste the alcohol.Popcorn shrimp - 4/5Served very warm with a spicy dip.Bread pudding - 4/5Served very warm. Different than what I'm used to but it was good. Had 1 small strawberry sliced and some whipped cream.Their prices for wine were pricey. A glass might be the cost of a bottle at the store and their bottle was 4 times the cost.Service was good. The waiter was nice and checked on us multiple times. The wait time for food wasn't long.The crowd was between ages 40s to 60s. A few looked like they are in their 30s.Their dress code is business casual but I'm not sure it's actually enforced. Majority of folks were dressed up in nightclub and business/smart casual attire. But I did see a few wearing sandals and a t-shirt.Not a big place but they sure crammed as many tables and chairs as they could. There is a mix of small tables, lounge seating, booth seating, and tall cocktail tables.Overall I had a good time and would like to return back."

Emmit's Place

★★★★☆ 4.2 (34) • $

"I had a blast! Oh what fun! Located close to the Willowbend Subdivision. If you aren't familiar with the area Emmit's place is between Hw 90 and the 610 entrance ramp on to 610 - Located right off of S. Post Oak. Emmit's backs up into the neighborhood. Anyway, several bands were playing that night. All blues, funk, jazz, everything fun! There was some dancing on the dance floor, but not much. Tables, table tops, and bar area seating. Lots of GREAT people watching. Everyone is friendly! Great prices on drinks. There was even a food being grilled/cooked in the parking lot. Seriously, I've lived in the area for 20 years and have never been. BIG MISTAKE! I will absolutely be back. Oh what fun!Friendly reminder, there are apartments located in the next block - STAY AWAY!"

Sawyer Park Icehouse

★★★★☆ 4.2 (117)

"Really cool spot to hang out, watch a game, listen to live music, bring your dog and have some drinks and a good meal..We came on a Saturday night for a basketball game and didn't have a hard time getting a picnic table for 6. Service was great and attentive and the brisket grilled cheese was amazing. Inside there was live music which people were really enjoying."

The Music Box Theater

★★★★★ 4.8 (122) • $$

"Wonderful cabaret of five singers performing theme shows in an intimate setting of what used to be the Radio Music Theate a few years ago. These folks gel together, and their enthusiasm will brighten your evening. You can't beat the price for live, family-friendly entertainment in Houston. I can't believe it took me so long after Radio Music Theater left to see a show by the new group, but I'm a big fan of Music Box now.If you've never been here before, you're in for a treat. It's not slick or over-produced. Just performers who love belting out tunes with a few surprises (did they really remix a version of "Some Nights" by fun.? Yes they did, and it was fabulous) and classics, depending on the show's theme. If you don't have a reserved seat (honestly, all of the seats are perfectly fine), arrive early. I've never had a problem with parking, but...do the smart thing and check their website for the best places to park (some businesses nearby allow people to use their lots). There are plenty of wine and beverage options for everyone, and light nibbles, too. Most shows are around an hour and a half to two hours with an intermission."

Nico's Bar and Grill

★★★★☆ 3.7 (62) • $$

"If you've been here and loved this place please forgive this review it's just my observations as of right now at Nico's. The Smash Burger was raw in the middle which meant it was still a frozen patty when cooked, this was at a bar where light Italian food was a specialty. In my experience Nico's is a bar not so much a grill. Beautiful people there a staff anyone would want for a bar. High comfortable tables but it looks like there's just not enough volume because of all the road construction to sustain any real consistency as a righteous grill. Maybe when the road clears up things will get back to the happy place it looks like it's been for many years. In the meantime stop by grab a few brews leave some good tips. Ask the chef what he can nuke for some munchies and support a place that once was obviously a one of a kind local place to hangout."

DeepRoots Vineyards

★★★★★ 4.9 (21)

"Last weekend, my husband and I popped in the lovely DeepRoots Vineyards! The vines are young but blooming beautifully. We snacked on their infamous charcuterie board by the small pond and sipped delicious Texas wine! .The barn was spacious and perfect for all types of events. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the staff and cannot wait to return!"

Busted Oak Cellars

★★★★★ 4.8 (31)

"Service was great. Staff very friendly and quick to assist with questions. Outdoor space was nice and they had a musician playing as well. Tastings were reasonably priced and included a free sangria. Unfortunately we found some of the wines not to be to our taste. A good experience nonetheless."

Space Nightclub-Houston

★★☆☆☆ 1.8 (63)

"I don't know how to rate this place. The vibe is nice , dj was great , and venue is well kept! However, Houston is robbing my generation of their money honey! $40 for entry $40 for any dress code violation (which isn't posted anywhere outside) $300 for the smallest table (since you have to buy at least one bottle at $200) $800 for a section with minimum 4 bottles ($200 each) The really interesting part is the whole club is ALL sections. Like no dance floor or room for anyone that doesn't have a section to enjoy them self. Which I'm not from Houston, but what I have seen is that they aren't dance floor dancers here. They like to look cute and smoke hookah lol The bottle girls are the cutest I have ever seen! I will give them that. If I wasn't a visitor to the city, It would have been a hard pass."

Club New Ice

★★★★☆ 3.5 (2)

"Nice atmosphere here. Not to bad. It's what you'd expect in a club. Decent music. If you're a male there are a lot of single women here if you're looking. Not a bad place. I'd recommend to others if asked"

Texas Tavern

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (17) • $$

"Another spot that I've passed up time and time again. I simply ended up here. Had no plans on stopping by at all. In fact I visited 3 other bars before coming here. When I walked into another bar across the street from here who had the front AND back doors open and it still stank of heavy heavy smoke, I sped out, thought about this spot for some reason and headed over. This spots isn't as smokey as I thought it would be. The smoke is in there but it isn't nearly as heavy as where I had come from. The drinks were poured just okay and the the staff was friendly enough to where I would return on rare nights where I don't mind the smell of smoke. On Thursday's they have free jukebox night, which is pretty cool. They give you five bucks to go up and pick whatever you want. Nothing is banned on the jukebox which is very nice to know. I filled it up with rock and 80s. The crowd seemed to have enjoyed my selection. I even had a few people buy me a drink from some of the music I selected.I didn't order any food and really don't remember if they sell it or not. I'm almost certain that they do. When I return I will make sure to update this. Drink well and prosper."

Ovations Night Club

★★★★☆ 4.3 (10) • $$

"Ovations and Cezanne are the only places that can compare to the great music that is played on Frenchman St. in New Orleans here in Houston. It is not just jazz, but there are certainly many great jazz concerts here. I have seen Thomas Helton organize a recreation of the Miles Davis Nonent. Playing The Birth of the Cool from beginning to end. That has been one of my favorite concerts I have been to in Houston. I have also seen some benefit concerts and auctions that are always great fun.The vibe here is great. There are two levels. Tables scatterd on the first floor, and a balcony on the second with more tables and a bar. Often when I come, the place is packed, and people make a seat on the stairs. Which is actually pretty comfortable. Great seats throughout, and awesome acoustics. A hidden gem in the Rice Village area, and one of my favorite places to see a show."

★★★★☆ 4.3 (52)

"All eyes on me in the center of the ring just like a circus.When I crack that whip, everybody gon' trip just like a circus...Ah, Britters. You coulda shot your hot and *amazing* circus vid right here at Shoeshine Charley's. Everyone else thoroughly described the kitchy decor at Shoeshine Charley's Big Top Lounge, so I won't bore you, but I just want to add that I love the velvet Pink Panther poster/painting. I came here for the first time on one of Houston's most recent rainiest night (Which one, you ask? I know. We've had so many lately.). An ex-coworker was in town, Flyp P, so a bunch of us were out to kick it ol' skool. By the time I got there, everyone was "on a different level," but I played catch-up with a few glasses of their house wine. Not too shabby.Get this: No cover and there was a lively honky tonk band playing. A few patrons were out on the small and dark dancefloor having a blast, including a woman doing turns and twirls in her electric wheelchair. I think I've just arrived to Awesometown, y'all. We moved the party outside--for the smokers and just to hear ourselves think--and played a few games of Pac Man, checked out the *ancient* jukebox and just kicked it. The bartender was a hell of a lot nicer than the ones at CC and faster, too. When closing time came, my friend John K and I were content to see our bar tabs were insanely small. Flyp-dawg, however, had a larger tab than expected for drinking Lone Stars all night. Methinks a few of our drinks made it onto his tab. Whoops. We'll getcha next time, brah. I like this place and give 'em two thumbs up. Impress your date or out of town friends by making a night of it here, along with The Continental Club, The Mink, and Tacos A Go-Go just a few steps away. This is why I love H-town. Variety, folks."

Mo's Place

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (94)

"I've been coming into Mo's off-n-on for ever. First recollection is Clint Black before he made it big. Anyway, the place is a lot bigger, but it's still a honky tonk. Cold beer, decent bar food. Lots of space. Live music most nights. If your looking for some new fangled fancy pants club, this ain't for you. If you want to hear good ol' country music with cold beer. This is your place."

Puebloritaville

★★★★☆ 4.1 (17)

"Great little spot. Eat here probably once every couple months or so. Good food and very friendly service. Can't complain about a whole lot however the live music can sometimes be a little to loud. I know that sounds like a grumpy old person but just turn the speakers down a little. None of us can hear each other even when we're sitting in the very back of the patio. Other than that great place to eat."

The Table at Madeley

★★★★★ 5 (29)

"This is a fairly new venue around downtown Conroe. I saw an ad and saw the menus available and decided to give it a try. It was Friday night and it has a small parking area so when you arrive you can park either on the street or there is a chiropractor office that you can park in their parking lot if it's not during their normal business hours. There are three food trucks there that serve different types of cuisines. There is lots of outdoor seating and there is a smaller indoor venue that actually has a bar and that's where you buy your drinks at. It was in the 40s or 50s when we went so it was chilly but there were a few heaters outside, but you had to get the right table to be near the heaters. Of course, the cold is not usually a thing in this part of Texas so I understand the lack of the heaters but it would've been nice to have more heat since it was cold. In the inside part (which is open) there is a bar where you can order local craft beers, as well as other types of beers. There are wines, there are also sodas and bottled waters. There was a small stage where a young lady was also putting on an acoustic set. The food that I ordered from my food truck The Fix was really really good, I ordered some Birria quesadillas which came in an order of three and included onions and cilantro along with the meat. I also ordered a small thing of charro beans. It comes with your choice of red or green sauce, so I asked the girl which was hotter and she said the red. I asked for two and thankful that I did it was spicy and it was delicious on my quesadillas. The beans were also very good. my family ordered from a taste of Asian and they really enjoyed their food as well. Overall, it was a fun experience and I know we'll go more when it's a little bit warmer out as it is a nice family friendly place to go in downtown Conroe."

Midnite Slice

"The menu , it just works. I don't know how else to say it. The pizza crust was thin and crispy while all the ingredients were fresh and paired perfectly.. Please please if you are a Brussel sprouts fan these are definitely worth a try. To me, they are in my top 3 that I have ever had anywhere. I can see how the pizza crust might soften up if you have it delivered so I would recommend you eat there. It would be worth it."

"Folks have had mixed feelings about this place, but I've always have had a great experience here and once U know the staff, it becomes even more chill. Joel, Richard, Connor, Vanessa, Chrissy etc. It has been a few months since my last visit and and update review was due. Steak nights Tuesday. $14 with a potato and small side salad. A 16oz ribeye, grilled and seasoned so well. I also ordered some grilled veggies which were delicious and Joel said he grilled it himself. Normally the band also plays on Tuesday and open mic night. Covid restrictions in place. Mask required upon entry. Workers all masked up. This would another great spot to watch a ball game. Kudos to all the workers for doing a fantastic job during this timeframe."

Cake Bakery & Bar

★★☆☆☆ 2 (42) • $$

"I honestly really liked this place but I had to take a few stars away for a couple of things. We went on a Friday night during college championship playoffs when Stevie J was there ...I don't really care who that is but just to set the mood.1. There is absolutely no space for you if you do not have bottle service. Had I known that I would have purchased bottle service; actually we tried to but it was sold out. It is crowded as heck in there. Basically zero space to even stand if you are not at a table. Lesson learned - get a table.2. The drinks are outrageously priced and the bartenders include their own tip on the price. I believe (1) drink was $16 with a $2 set tip for the bartender. So again, I would say get drunk before you go or have bottle service.The vibe was nice - seemed high end and fun. The music was great for my friend and I and we luckily found a place to stand/dance for the night. Overall a fun place and I would definitely go back again."

Stereo Live Houston

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (163) • $$

"I read a lot of negative reviews on google about this venue. After my first visit, I can't say I experienced any of that. Parking was $10 at the door and can also be prepaid online. Their lot is really tight in some areas, so be careful about getting scratches on your car. There is an outdoor area with a separate DJ. Poor guy out there didn't stand a chance. The indoor area has the main stage with a bar to the left. Women restroom is by the stairs but the men restroom is by the stage. There are cleaner restrooms upstairs imo. The tables are upstairs and you can get better views up there. However, it smells more like piss up there. They need to fix the screen because there are yellow and blue tabs ruining the view! The lady bartender upstairs took care of us all night. Too bad you can't tip. Drink prices are not bad."

Bohemian Hill Tavern

★★★★☆ 4.1 (11)

"I liked this place. I'm not a beer drinker, but they did have Lime A Rita's for me, small bottles of wine for others and beer for everyone else. You can bring in a bottle of (whiskey, rum, etc.) and they will sell you the mixers. Like another reviewer, they will charge you a dollar for an extra cup of ice. This really doesn't bother me too much. Their beer was ice cold, says my brother. They give you a koozie to use while you are at the bar. No credit cards accepted but there's an ATM in the bar. We sat at the bar and celebrated my sisters fourth 29th birthday. Immediately "Mr. G." bought us three a round. Of course he was a local and was very nice, not overly friendly, just a good old boy sitting at the end of the bar. There was a birthday party in the pool room. They had brought their own food, etc. and it looked like a fun, local, regulars type people. No creepy people here - no extremely young people, so it's not a meat market. No scummy people or loud talkers, no smelly alcoholic types either. There's a sign over the bar that says WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE. Age 35 and up, I'd say. VERY VERY clean bar, VERY clean bathroom. Domino players inside and out. Two or three pool tables. Cards. Karaoke starts at 8 PM. Beverly the owner is very friendly, not off putting at all. Other bartenders nice as well. They took the time to talk to their patrons unlike some other places, everyone treated us like they wanted us to come back. I like this place, and I will definitely be back."
