On my recent trip to Houston!…read more When I was searching for dowtown bars and dancing, Behind Closed Doors popped up. It looked dark, clubbish, and fun (exactly what I was looking for) and I couldn't wait to come here. After a 25 minute Uber ride we were downtown and walking to our destination. At first we could not find it but thankfully a nice gentlemen showed us where it was. Upon walking in, darkness with these bright lights paved our way. We sat down at the bar, but realized dancing did not start until 10pm. The bartender came over and said to us "we have a speakasy behind door #3" we were like WHAT! Let's go. So, we walked down the dark hallway and pushed open door #3 (hence the name) to find this super cool speakeasy bar. Dim lights, really modern decor, comfy suede chairs and best of all, some really great cocktails. If you are ever in Downtown Houston, I highly recommend you coming here. I promise you will have the best time. We did not stay for dancing.

This place is a scam. We paid for a reserved table, but just a few minutes after we sat down, the…read morestaff came over and moved us because another group was willing to pay more. At no point before or during the purchase were we told that our table could be taken away. It was extremely unprofessional and disappointing. If they can move paying customers simply because someone else offers more money, they don't value their customers. I would not recommend this place.

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!

Haven't been posting as much as I usually do... yelp is not as fun this year, BUT I will still post…read moreonce in a while on the new, fun places I visit! 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.

Extremely spacious, good for big parties. I haven't tried all the food, but the dishes I did try…read moreare pretty good. Liquor bottles are pretty cheap, same with beer, only 3 dollars! They have any karaoke song you want to sing and I always have a good time when I'm there with friends! Strongly recommend.

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

As an older guest, I was heavily peer-pressured by my kids into taking a turn on the bull! Getting on the equipment proved to be much more challenging than it looks for the younger crowd, but the operator was exceptionally kind and discreet. He quietly assisted me by offering his knee as a step-up to help me get on, which made a nerve-wracking moment significantly less intimidating and embarrassing. Throughout the evening, he remained consistently engaging, friendly, and patient, even as the area grew busy. Outstanding customer service like his truly stands out. Thank you for making a memorable family celebration even more special!
