Re: HAB Bar On The Bayou

I don't live here but if I did, this would be on my weekly rotation. Firstly, they are dog friendly. Giant back yard with lots of open space.

We stopped by for a drink with a group of cyclist one Thursday evening for a drink. It was roughly 50 cyclist in the group. They had some live blues old rock type of jams playing, which was great. It definitively had a dive bar feel to it and it backs up to a bayou in the back. The outside ambiance is very pleasant. They have lights surrounding the courtyard and some pretty cool art. The prices on drinks were reasonable that night and the music was on point, however, I give this place two starts because of the poor customer service. The guy in the front was such a jerk. Apparently the credit card machine was not working well at the time and it was only accepting cash payments. I ordered a michelada and that guy made me a bloody mary, which is not what I asked for.

Nice place. If you want to st as y inside, it's a bit small. However they have a great patio huge picnic area. Its located just inside the Heights just minutes from I-610 and I-45. What's very cool, they have a great food truck in back. You can buy your favorite beverage, eat dinner, all while listening to great live music. Not much more you can ask for. I've posted a bunch of photos, check them out.

A real bar for real people describes it the best. Full bar with regular classic drinks...no fro frou. Nice people...great outdoor stage! I'll be back...maybe too frequently????

Interesting place with some wacky looking back yard furniture near a bayou. Like I said, it's interesting looking, with a good selection of beers, but a little on the pricey side, for the location. I would say it's a decent place, but there are so many other choices, i would say worth a try once.

Awesome place! Great live music, outdoor lounge, fire pit and it's right on the bayou with huge outdoor space. Very chill place with awesome music and super cool people. Great place to relax and let your hair down.

Came here during the great flood of 2019 and had great service. This bar is a fun little vibe, a great patio and a friendly staff. Thanks for being my shelter from the storm!

This is a great Houston dive that's full of so much old Houston character. It reminds me of Montrose way back in the day before the developers took hold and started polishing the buildings, and taking down weird old funky art refuges. The interior of the bar is compact and straight forward. There's a bar with maybe half a dozen stools, a couple high tables, and I think a pool table. The real draw though is their backyard that backs up to the bayou. It's quite large and offers all kinds of seating arrangements, as well as a smaller covered area in case of rain. They have a great rotation of local bands that play in the open air backyard. Each band seems to bring it's own crowd for the night, so pay attention to who's playing so you can gauge your expectations. Overall, great bar to check out if you're looking for something off the beaten path and unique. The regulars and staff are always polite, as long as you're polite, so give it a try.

Great little dive bar! Live music venue. Very intimate. My only complaint is when groups show up outside in the backyard area with their boomboxes and 12 packs and camp out. These interlopers should respect the music being played inside and buy their drinks from the bar. They treat it like a public park that allows alcohol. It is a business, not a public property.

This is a great local hangout bar with outdoor seating and indoor seating Local bands
