Notsuoh

One of the most eclectic bars in Houston, Notsuoh stands as a downtown relic, a place that remains more underground and off the radar off the beaten path of downtown bars. I've been visiting off and on for over ten years. The decor is ever changing yet always funky. Once upon a time they had shows here, and chess was prominently featured. The shows are now gone. The bar is small and simplistic, a bit lacking in offerings, but I don't mind. There's three stories to explore, the top floor being the most impressive. The sound dome is the centerpiece here, with Bluetooth speakers in place so one can chill to their own playlist and enjoy the starry visuals. The various mishmash of decor and furniture creates a fun divey chill vibe. I enjoy the multiple patio spaces, especially the one on the top floor since it is only accessible by patrons.Back in the day they were known for their after hours activities, though I never partook. Sounded like a good time though.

This is a cool art bar in downtown Houston, apparently combined with Clarks clothing store, kinda weird but maybe that's what they're going for. By the way, I asked an employee and he said they never do live music here. So any info or pics you see wIth live performances are old and outdated (or this employee doesn't know what he's talking about).I'd come here for the art alone. It's a mixture of sculptures and paintings, and quirky and random decor, that create this captivating space. Lots of animals, decorative lamps, creepy masks, games, and probably a lot more I didn't see upstairs (a sign said you have to preorder drinks to go upstairs, and we were done drinking for the night by the time we saw that). I think it's a weird policy to have, in order to go to upstairs, but again, this is a very unusual spot.The bartender was friendly, and drinks were good. And though there was hardly any seating when we arrived around 11pm, we snagged a couple bar seats. And when we left, prior to midnight, strangely the seats throughout the venue had opened up, while the area near the bar was more crowded with people just standing around having conversation.Overall, I like the vibe here and would definitely return if ever in Houston again, and maybe check out the upper level next time.

Such a cool bar in downtown Houston. There's a ton of quirky/random/vintage art, furniture and items to look at and explore. You must buy a drink to go upstairs, but it's worth it! Our fav spot is the hidden ledge to people watch outside :)

Have never been to such a unique bar! This place was a real trip while drunk but I loved every part of it. Was basically an art installation/bar combined with so many different rooms it was easy to get lost especially drunk but each room leads to a new cool experience. I'm still not even sure we saw the whole thing! Make sure to get the espresso martinis here! I'm not even sure I can do justice explaining how cool this bar is so you will just have to try it out yourself!

Yes, this bar is dusty. Yes, service can be slow. But do I still love this place? Yes. I love finding spots that breed uniqueness in Houston. This feels like a place you'd find in Brooklyn. Always surprised by the number of people I run into who don't make it to the upper levels.

It's a cool , retro , vintage or everything in between! It's a good find to go out with friends and have a drink and chill ' a must visit !

Oh, this was one of the coolest bars I've been to in my entire life. There's three different levels each jampacked with secret rooms, such unique art, design and layout. We were in on a random Monday night and they were doing a open mic, comedy show and we saw 15 or 20 different comics and it was a great time.

Favorite new bar in Houston!! The outside says Clarks, but on google maps type in notsuoh (Houston spelled backwards) to find it. Very eclectic and artsy, must buy a drink to go upstairs! The two upper floors were my favorite part, there's many levels and rooms with art, mannequins, and random junk. The owner actually lives in one area of it (behind the sign that says private, don't enter). My favorite part was the sound dome on the third floor where people's voices vibrate and echo in it, very trippy experience. Only downside was that the drinks are a bit expensive and the bartender wasn't friendly, she added the tip for us and we couldn't pick how much we wanted to tip, there was no option to go back and choose either. Parking is also hard to find in downtown. A must visit bar!

Not sure why anyone would make a negative review. This place is the eclectic and a gem of Houston. When you think you have explored the place, there is more. There is a downstairs bar... then you walk upstairs to another bar (I enjoyed the downstairs bar more personally), and you can explore many levels. Each room has something more unique. Lots of taxidermy which I think is awesome. I am a huge fan of the entire aesthetic. I drank a whiskey sour at both the downstairs and upstairs bar. My boyfriend drank a Gin Ricky and it was super tasty as well. They have cider, seltzers, beer, and full bar. We didn't wait long at the bar to order a drink so the service is pretty quick. My party came on a Friday night around midnight, it was busy but we still got quick service.

Awesome and very very cool spot nice drinks awesome friendly service comedy club was awesome just didn't like the insensitivity of a comedian who called my partner and I autistic I get it was a joke but the set wasn't even funny it was over all obnoxious other than that lil detail 10/10 would come through again.
