I couldn't believe that was my first time step into South Beach Club (SoBe) since I moved to Houston almost 2 decades ago. Every time I came to SoBe, I got turned away by the long line wrapped around the parking lot before midnight. That's when I normally get off work. But this time, we stopped by on Saturdays. We came super early, like 9:30 pm. Yeah. We got our free pass. Normally, it's $10 cover charge, which isn't bad because there is a huge dance floor with high tech lighting system and sounds system. It was totally worth every penny. Because we love to dance. We adore the music to our liking, more like in the 90's oldies. Yeah, we are older than most people on the dance floor. Thank goodness they didn't kick us out. I remember one night there was a huge group of young Asian guys came in around 10 pm. There were also many birthday celebrations around the seating area. Boy, I would love to sit on a cozy chair after dancing my ass off. Looks like they have some kind of VIP access. There were also girls and straight couples on the dance floor and around the lounge area. Oh, there is a cool patio on the side. Restroom was clean. Looks like there was some kind of upgrades at the club. Yeah. I would definitely return.

The DJs can be kinda meh 50% of the time but the bartenders are always friendly, fast, attentive and ofc very cute. Great place to go with your friends, almost completely women on weekends for dancing (as it should be.) I haven't gotten to try the taco truck yet but if you get out late at 2am when they close there is an amazing greasy smash burger place just a 2 block walk away. Love pearl, always excited to go back

He made it clear that he didn't want to serve me again. "You're the one that tipped $5 right? Let me just sit here for a moment" and he sat on his chair and made a very hilarious "who's gonna love me" bratty face. It was cute. I grabbed my friend's arm and walked to another bartender and ordered another round and tipped him more for not being so dramatic. It was the first time I've ever been refused service by a child with his arms crossed. It was very entertaining. I made sure to wave bye to demon twink on the way out with a golden smile. I'm glad there's a bartending program to get kids off the streets. Thanks for giving me something to tell my friends back home. I love how cheap the drinks are here and the sass that comes with it.

OMG AND NO RE ENTRY ? Someone was going to get towed so they left to move their car and weren't allowed re-entry. So nah. This place just wants to screw you.

I could only think of 5305 reasons not to post this review, so here we are…read more My main takeaway from this place is 5237. Because then you're left with 69. But that goes both ways. Anyway. This is the brand new destination for Latin nightclub action on the main strip of Washington Avenue, where all the cool and sexy people go. Some of the most attractive people in the city come here, to this club, as well as Heart, and especially Bottled Blonde. This one is wildly popular, especially with a lot of the Hispanic crowd, and it's one of the loudest clubs. We like that it doesn't really have too many rules and seems a lot more enjoyable than a lot of the others. Astrid is our favorite bartender (for so many reasons), and we always go when she's there, but we also like several of the others. So many stunning and friendly employees at 5306, formerly Standard Bar. But the special shout out goes to Astrid, who's one of the most beautiful women in the world, and would have definitely won the bikini contest the other night (Barbi insisted that we go, she's the best gf ever) if she had entered it. So would Barbi, really. However all of the winners were great. Leonor, Karina and Monica came 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and they're all winners as far as we're concerned! Amazing bottle girls. This is Astrid, follow her and come and ask for her as your bottle service girl! https://www.instagram.com/theastridreverte/ Also a special shout out to the girl that does the signage out front, cuz she doesn't wonderful job with that, and it always has cool neon signs of various very appropriate messages such as Mexico or 5306 or whatever special day it is. Probably my joint fave club in Houston, and the often racist, always snobby hatred of this club just makes me love it more.

Bar 5306, you got me (and my friends) good. Located on Washington Ave., close to many popular bars…read moreand clubs like Sugar Room, parking is not easy. There's metered parking on Washington Ave. A lot of the side streets don't allow parking Thursday through Sunday from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. unless you have a valid permit. I was trying to park around 11 p.m. on a Thursday evening, so that made things more difficult. I ultimately found free parking on a side street seven minutes away by foot, but it took a lot of effort. Ambiance (3.5/5): Bar 5306 is a Latin club on most nights it seems like. When I stopped by, there was a DJ there, but he was playing hip-hop instead. The music is loud, so this is the type of place where you go to dance. With it being a Thursday, there were only 15 people there or so. I imagine that's a different story on a Friday or Saturday night. There's a large dance floor, booths for VIP seating, table top seating, and a bar. If you want to get away from the music, there's also an outdoor patio. Which is where we hung out for the most part so we could talk. Service (1/5): This is where Bar 5306 sticks you. Upon entering, they have a list of 10 or so craft cocktails on the wall. Prices are not listed. I made the mistake of not asking for a menu and ordered from the wall. Rather than keeping my tab open, they close your tab upon each transaction (which is annoying if you order multiple rounds throughout the night). They also add 20% gratuity automatically. I understand that Washington Ave. is a popular party area, but how is this allowed in America?! Gratuity is based on service. It's a customer's right to decide how much to give based on the service they receive. An automatic 20% tip takes all of that out of the equation. To make matters worse, my buddy asked for a water for him and his girlfriend. They don't have water on tap and only offer bottled water at $5 a water for water from Costco. Talk about a nice profit margin for the business and sticking the customer yet again! My friends said they would never return. The policies are based on management, so I will say that the bartender who took care of me was efficient and took my order quickly. No complaints about her. There are also bottle girls here, though they were just hanging out when I arrived since nobody was there for bottle service. Food (N/A): I'm not sure if they have food since I didn't see a menu. Either way, I had dinner prior to stopping by. Drinks (3/5): My cocktail was solid for a club. It was $15 and then the 20% gratuity on top of that. It's just tough to enjoy your drink when you're dealing with these sorts of policies. When you arrive, they ask you for your ID and frisk you. Just overall, such a bad experience from a service experience that it makes it tough to enjoy any other part of the experience.
