Michael's Outpost

Love this place. Just found out about it about a year ago. So many different things going on on each day of the week. I love the environment and just chatting with the regulars. Mondays and Thursdays are my personal favorite nights to come here. The broadsway on Monday and karaoke on Thursday. The entire staff is amazing they make you feel like family here.

Beautiful atmosphere and great music! Cozy place for the locals with comfortable vibe.

Went with a group of folks to celebrate a passing of a friend who frequented Micheal's. We had a great time. It was caberet night & what a blast! The hostess was sassy, foul mouthed (where's the tip jar!) & a lot of fun! The venue is small & cozy. Bring ones for tipping your Queens!After the show, it was piano time. Billy Joel & Elton John songs were sung by the crowd sitting around the piano. Reminder, it is a dive bar so stick to your basics.

It's a good place to go to if you're tired of the gayborhood. Non pretentious. It has changed a lot through the years and we need to keep it around.

Adorable little bar with good drinks, great service and a sense of community. Definitely should visit for their show on Monday nights. Fresh Houston talent, definitely a must see.

His name is Robert. He is a lack luster barback. His attitude matches his pour! It SUCKS! He needs to take his lead from the other bar back. I can't believe I paid that much for such a low grade drink! Robert is really lacking in all departments!

Best neighborhood piano bar around. With the best bartender(s) Bryan Wade is Houston's #1 ! Great variety of entertainment with a fantastic neighborhood set of regulars. Our favorite place to go

I just read the scathing reviews on this site for Michael's Outpost, only to see that some were many years old. The same family still owns this neighborhood bar but different family members now run it - and it is vastly improved over several years. The interior is quite handsome and the staff and customers as friendly as you'll find anywhere. And you won't find another piano bar (definition: customers sit at the piano and drink and usually sing) anywhere near the Gulf Coast except for Fuad's on Westheimer (another world entirely) and Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop in New Orleans (uber-touristy). A pianist plays 5 nights a week and there is a drag or live singing show 4 nights a week. I urge those who've had a bad experience there in the past to re-visit. Even when it's slow it's a great laid-back neighborhood bar, and when it's hoppin' it's happenin'!

We had a long weekend. We Needed to get away. We went to Micheal's Outpost to have a great night. Well, the service that we normally expected was gone! Two of the bartenders working, a blonde ‍ on the phone playing games not givingMe any eye contact and another guy no response ever. This was on Monday July 31 that evening shift. . I had to interrupt the call or game to get served. (As a customer very awkward), I confronted the bartender saying , Hey man why am I not being spoken too or greeted is it something about me ? I told him I had to flag you down for a drink. I swear you not. This guys said. (Well, we are not busy like we were an hour ago it was crazy.)Really?I told him we should be treated like hundreds of people at the bar. I have to to tell you, the other great bartenders that work For Micheal's Outpost they should be disappointed and pissed. At the end i told the bartender that I am sad and I am not proud that he is in our industry This crazy bartender cursed me our the doorThose who know me. That is crazy Michael Outpost please train or make a change.

Live in the neighborhood and stopped by to check it out with a friend of mine about a week ago. Found the best lemon drop martini in the area! Strong but not too strong. Bartender was sweet as can be! Bathrooms were clean as well which is a big plus. Overall vibe was fantastic! We came a little earlier so missed the entertainment but the music was nice and we had a blast. I'm sure the acts they have later in the evening are phenomenal judging by our experience. We'll be back for sure!
