No single women want to go here due to the location and staff. Men take a chance at your own risk. The worst part about this place is they want you to sign up for a monthly membership and even after you cancel they will continue to charge your account until you call them. $120 for single me is crazy. Go to Encounters or any other place that has been around and established for years. Less expensive and better vibes!

If youre an 80s and 90s FREAK you will love Barbarellas. Of course parking is crazy in this area and can cost as much as $20 so I would take an Uber from wherever you are. The dance floor is full of life. Young and old, colorful, vibrant personalities of all shapes, sizes and depths come here to let loose and just have FUN! A night very much needed on my end. Every one is care free and dancing the night away. My feet were so swollen after a fun filled night here that I could hardly walk the next day. Just think, a night filled with Madonna, Duran Duran, Kate Bush "Running up that Hill"! Yesssss! Good drinks, great people and no one to judge you. Highly recommend coming here for a fun night of dancing with friends. Thanks Barbarellas for yet another fun night in the books!:)

The drinks are severely overpriced for what you get. The bar tenders are decent but the bouncers…read moreare terrible. Every time I have been with friends someone gets kicked out for a dumb reason and yesterday I was kicked out 30 minutes from close because I sat down on a bench outside and used my inhaler for my ASTHMA literally a life saving device, after being in the pit for over 30 minutes. He even knocked it out of my hand and I had to use my phone as a flashlight to find the pod while he stood over me and wouldn't let me go back inside to even find my dd or let my friend go into to find him. The staff is ableist and not understanding in the slightest and won't listen to reason even when you're even a little intoxicated. One of my other friends got kicked out one time for tripping. So I would only go here if you have no intention of having any type of human needs. I would also like to point out there was someone on the patio literally passed out on the patio that they deemed allowed to stay. I'm extremely disappointed in the staff for turning one of my favorite places in Houston into the worst experience I've ever had with a staff member at a bar or a club.

I've been here a handful of times now, and honestly I frequent this place not because its the best…read moreplace ever but because its soo very convenient. Anybody that knows me knows I hate driving. So what am I to do when all the dancing spots are located deep in Houston. I may have the energy to dance the night away but I definitely don't want to waste my time driving. So Amazonia caters to me by being close and right off I-45 and beltway 8. I tend to arrive to clubs relatively early so I've never encountered an unbearable line or anything like that at this location. It may start at slow but by midnight this place is packed. I should add that the majority of the crowd here is hispanic and that men DO get patted down at the entrance. Additionally theres a strip club right next door so it appears as though they share a good amount of the male clientele. This is not the place I would choose for a single-ladies night out, but if you have a dance partner it's not as likely you'll be bothered. This venue is a split club, and it has two dance floors. The main floor is International night on Saturdays and it has two bars, bathrooms and a VIP section, they play salsa, cambia, merengue, bachata, punta etc. The smaller dance floor claims to play hip-hop, electronic and top 40's but honestly its about 80% reggaeton, 10% trap, and 10% rap from the early 2000's. Theres also bathrooms, another bar and two strip poles and a hoop hanging from the ceiling where girls perform on certain nights. They have some bar stools and couches in both dance areas too. Overall the decor isn't luxurious, and the place is somewhere between clean and dingy. I come back to Amazonia because I come here to dance, not lounge or inspect the decor, so I don't really need more than some good music and a dance floor. One thing that did disappoint me this last visit was that the shots went up in price and are ridiculously small now. I will not be purchasing any shots here anymore, but I'll keep frequently this place when I get my dance fever and don't want to invest much gas or driving time.

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

What could be a lively neighborhood spot instead feels like an exercise in exclusion--where the staff's indifference borders on performative, as though hospitality were an optional add-on rather than the foundation of the service industry. The ambiance aspires to trendy but lands somewhere closer to contrived, with an energy that feels curated for appearances rather than genuine enjoyment. Drinks are serviceable at best, though priced with the confidence of a far more polished establishment. One might overlook that if the experience itself compensated, but unfortunately, it does not. Ultimately, Pearl Bar seems less interested in cultivating a welcoming environment and more invested in projecting a selective image. It's the kind of place that might appeal if you enjoy the feeling of trying to belong--but for those who value substance over pretense, there are far better options in Houston.

YEEHAW! BULL RIDING, LINE DANCING, AND MORE!!! 03/03/24…read more I recently celebrated my friend's birthday here at this establishment. It was my first time visiting a country club and I must say I had the most fabulous time ever! There was country music and line dancing galore! The overall ambiance and vibe of the club was raging with excitement and pure energy. It's absolutely enormous inside and there's more than one bar available at this establishment. With all the many dancers crowding the dance floor, it's a good thing this place is humongous. However, the ironic thing about all that space is that there's extremely limited seating availability provided; that is if you have not reserved a table for a birthday party. It seemed like every table was reserved for a party because my daughter and I walked every inch of that club and could not find an available table to sit at because they were all reserved for a party. However, there were plenty of seats around the dance floor, but they were taken as well. So, my advice would be to reserve a table in advance even if you are not celebrating a birthday party. This will at least ensure that you have somewhere to sit and rest your feet after leaving the dance floor. My friend, the birthday girl, did not reserve a table for her party thinking that there would be abandoned tables in the building. Big huge mistake. Furthermore, we ordered drinks all night because the prices were inexpensive. Be prepared to leave tips for the bartender if they truly deserve the tip. As I mentioned previously, there is more than one bar in this establishment. At the bar located to the immediate right as you first enter the entrance doors, there was a blonde haired female bartender and a Latino male bartender working that particular area. Both of them were unfriendly and unwelcoming. I could literally feel the ice-cold energy flowing through their veins. My daughter and I were asking them if they had any good suggestions for us since we really didn't know what we wanted to drink. We tried placing our order with the male bartender first who would not speak up for us to understand him. We asked him what drinks were on the menu for the night and he kept repeating something that we could not understand and he kept a monotone vibe as if he didn't care for us ordering at his bar. As a result, my daughter and I turned to the female bartender in hopes that she would be a little friendlier. She wasn't any better. She acted as if she did not know what to suggest from their own drink menu. She asked us what we wanted to drink and I responded to her, "Ma'am we are asking you and the gentleman for any suggestions because we are indecisive at the moment." She kept acting like a "dumb blonde" as if she did not know what to suggest so we just asked for a lemon drop which was okay. It wasn't strong at all and watery. I left her a tip and moved along. I was not pleased at all with the way they treated us. As a result of the lackadaisical bartenders at the first bar, my daughter and I decided to move to the back of the building and visit the other bar. This bartender was on and popping! He was very entertaining, friendly, and welcoming. He also had a mini chalkboard on display that listed the featured drinks of the night. Now this is what I was asking the other two unfriendly and unwelcoming bartenders about their featured drinks on the menu because they did not have a menu on display, or even offer a menu, or even suggest that we scan a QR code to see the drinks menu. Keep in mind this was my first time and my daughter's first time visiting this place so we were kind of lost. However, the other bartender is located directly in the back. When you first enter the doors you can see him working hard mixing and shaking drinks and serving the crowd like a professional mixologist. He was down-to-earth friendly and relatable. I spent all my dollars and tip money at his bar for the rest of the night and I purchased plenty of drinks all night. If I ever return to this establishment I will never patronize the other two bartenders. They need to stay at home because they do not know how to entertain their guests properly. Overall, Whiskey River is an exciting and fun place to be on a Friday or Saturday night if you want to dance or even ride the bull. Bull riding was fun but impossible to stay on during the whole ride. You will get thrown off no matter what. From the looks of the bull, it seems as if it's designed for you not to be able to stay on. Everyone gets thrown off no matter how hard you try to stay on, but it was so much fun! The dance floor is a nice size but can get overcrowded. The food is absolutely delicious, especially the beef quesadillas. Be prepared to show your ID before entering the building. There's a bouncer at the door asking the guests to show identification before being admitted. Would have given 5 stars if it hadn't been for the two rude bartenders' sore attitudes.
