The Owl Bar

Just okay.... Okay vibes... everyone is very friendly good location tho drinks are average.... Wasn't packed wich I also liked !

I would describe The Owl Bar as a Classy, Dive bar but in a totally good way. You can go there and have a mixed crowd of people hanging out after work, college students, tourists, locals and everything in between with no bad vibes. The patrons choose the style of music from the jukebox in the vault and the majority of the selections flowed well with the vibe of the patrons. You could hear the clarity in the speaker systems and the bass bump to make you jump without overpowering your conversations. The Owl Bar is one of the few places that I know in Houston that serve the world's oldest beer Bayerische Staatsbrauer Weihenstephaner in its proper beer glass. The pizza is the best I have tasted in Space City thus far. The bartender Byron was attentive and will give you a good laugh. I counted 61 different owls at the bar, how many can you find?

Fun bar. The well bourbon is from a local distillery and is surprisingly good, for only $5! And there's a vault inside from when the building used to be a bank, and you can sit in it. Best part: free popcorn. It's a little inconvenient for me but I'll be back anyway.

We were really surprised how much we liked this comfy but unassuming bar near Rice University on a recent late-night visit. We decided on the The Owl sort of by deduction, given that not much else in the area was open late on a weeknight. Expected a crowded, annoying college bar, we were pleased to find ice cold and refreshing white wine on tap for a great price and plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. The Owl is a nice option for laid-back drinks and conversation any time.

We went to Owl Bar bc of their Tuesday Tango group lessons, and we were not disappointed! Great space to meet all sorts of Houstonians, from college-aged to elderly, who all love to Tango. The bartender is friendly and attentive, the music is not terribly loud, and the drinks are decently priced. I think they serve oven pizza, too, I've just never ordered bc I'm too busy dancing

The Owl bar was a great place to hang out after dinner with friends. Definitely more casual but service was quick and had a variety of beer/wine options. They don't offer food, but have popcorn! They also have chess and some games available. Would recommend as a more casual place to hang out.

Found The Owl Bar on Yelp and it did not disappoint. We flirted with the bar tender, played shuffleboard and finished the evening with Cards Against Humanity. Someone ordered a pizza, which was a little late coming out, but it was delicious once it arrived at the table. We couldn't have had a better time, honestly. We hung out in the vault, which was a little more secluded and private, which we enjoyed. Super cool place and I will def be back when I'm in the part of town.

Chill dive bar in rice village. Drinks were solid and beer selection was reasonable. There is free popcorn! Ambience was chill and service was reasonable. A nice place to visit if you are looking to grab a drink in the village.

I am really impressed with this bar. From the quite and dark atmosphere to the affordable, yummy drinks, this bar is the perfect place for all sorts of patrons. The complimentary popcorn is the cherry on top. Not to mention, the bartender was hospitable and prompt. An outdoor seating is available at all times. I am very happy to have come here.Very cool interior.

Thank you to Russel and his staff for making my recent even such a success! The "Vault" room was the perfect spot, we got drinks quickly and the pizzas were yummy! Come support this laid back local business!
