Wow. Been coming here for years. The new vibe as "Vice" is just...not great. Feels like a Northgate college bar (not a compliment). The 1980s atmosphere...who asked for this? Staff seemed friendly and trying their best. But given what this place was, the atmosphere just seems really depressing, outdated, and tired and sad. Ah well. Another downtown Bryan legend, gone. read more

Place sucks all around. Took me 25 minutes to get a beer while front row at the bar. Not to mention they only have single room bathrooms. Service was terrible all night and people weren't hospitable read more

Its been a while since the event and I know I should have written this sooner but honestly we just tried to forget the whole experience. This happened in April and it was horrible. We decided to give the place another chance after how rude staff was to us but that was a huge mistake. During the drag show the performers were touching all over patrons who clearly did NOT consent to the sexual attention, some even left after being touched by them. My partner, who is autistic, went to give a performer a tip and she shoved their face into her chest. I had to calm them down, hoping it was a one off, but then the same person did it to them again the next time they were performing. It only stopped because they stood behind me for the rest of the show. We also watched as a partner in another couple got publicly ridiculed for not being okay with the physical attention. Her partner got groped in front of the whole crowd and the performer pulled her out to the center to argue about it. This place is disgusting and we will never be back. read more

Halo - Drag show second floor - Dance Clubs Near Me - Bryan, Texas

Friday night staying at the LaSalle Hotel for your recent visit to Bryan/College Station. It was our pleasure to have My wive said 2 me Tom "Tom come here 2 halo and I said ok babe c u soon" After I went there she was gone with her girlfriends. Not that kind we're maried haha. When I walk in theirs loud music I don't know but kinda ok. First thing I seen I thought where all the girls, Tom? Then I see it was a gays bar. I think it's iconic bc my pasture use to tell me it "this is a sinn tom" but I never didn't think that always. For instence my cousin Brad have a boy friend and I like Jacob too. At midnite I see a drag quing. She had a lot make up an a whig I think which was a man it was cool bc I never see that before. YES QUINGGGGG I got confused bc there were no boys bathroom. I had to share with the ladys bc they unasex I'm not mad but my wive would of probly if she see me. --TomB read more

I am OBSESSED with the drag queens here. They are absolutely amazing. The cover was pretty cheap, and so were the drinks. Everyone here was such a good vibe. You have to check this place out if you have not yet been. read more

BEST CLUB PUT THERE!!! Literally the queens were popping the F off! Shaking ass af. 10/10 will recommend!

Halo, also commonly known as "The Gay Club," is probably the ONLY club I can physically stand being in. Tastefully decorated with plenty of comfortable sofas for seating and a well-lit dance floor, it's never too loud that I can't hold down a conversation with people, and the bartenders won't skimp on the alcohol. If you're heterosexual and wondering if this is the right club for you, just go try it out. As a straight guy, I've never felt awkward or out of place, and I can strongly vouch for how clean the place is. It gets a little too smoky for my tastes right around midnight, but that really only applies to the second story. The downstairs bar always seems to feature far fewer smokers. Also, if you're a guy, you just can't leave Halo without visiting the second story restroom. There are few joys that can compare with peeing on a waterfall. read more

As other reviewers have mentioned below, Halo is hands-down the best bar in Bryan, gay, straight, whatever. When my husband and I go to visit his parents who still live in Bryan, this is always our Friday night spot. Drag shows every Friday at 11:30, and the cover is usually around $5, which is way better than I can say for any of the gay bars in Austin. Plus, because Halo is such an awesome joint, they book great drag queens from all over Texas to stop by and perform. I love the giant projection screens on the top floor that help me shamelessly shake my ass to Britney, Beyonce, and Madonna. Only at the gay bar can a girl truly get down. I can also vouch for Lee AND my husband and say that as straight folks, this place has never made us feel weird or unwelcome...to the contrary! We even brought his mom here on her birthday for a drag show, and she was treated like a, uh, queen! :) My only complaint is that because most of the action goes on on the second floor, the two bartenders who man that bar can get pretty deep "in the weeds" and it may take a good 5 minutes to place an order. But once you do get that drink, Honey, hang on! read more

Great place to hang out no matter what your sexual preference. Only place to dance your butt off in this town! Great people, great atmosphere, great vibe. read more

Only place in BCS where I can really dance my ass off. Located away from the Northgate scene, Halo feels like it should belong on 6th Street along with places like Malaia or Kiss&Fly (but obviously not as big). The lights are good, the music (techno/techno-ey pop) is right down my alley, the drinks are strong, the drag shows are fun, and the shirtless bartenders are ohsonice to look at...err I mean talk to. Only a couple minor downsides: $5 cover for everyone every time we've been (not bad but very few bars charge cover in BCS) and drinks are more expensive compared to other BCS bars. Just a small price to pay in exchange for the kind of atmosphere that you won't be able to find anywhere else in this small town. read more

I love dancing at Halo. The DJ is on point!! I would say one of the best out there. The drinks are expensive but that's typical for a "club". The contrast from a low key down stairs to a dance party upstairs is really nice. The bathrooms upstairs are interesting to say the least. . The drag show is really good. Definitely a bar that was needed in Bryan. read more

Honestly, I have no complaints about this place. I have only been a couple of times, but Halo is quickly becoming one of my favorite nighttime hot spots. I know plenty of heterosexual people have reservations about going to gay bars, but it's an experience that everyone should have at one point or another. The point is that Halo is an all-inclusive, open-minded place to be. Halo is really the only quality dance club in the Bryan/College Station area. I love to dance, and the DJs there really know how to mix and match their melodies (did you catch that alliteration?). Seating is adequate, the bartenders are great to talk to, and they are generous with the alcohol. Now, the drag shows deserve some serious commendation. I've been to a few drag shows in a couple different places, and they were mediocre, at best. Halo is nothing short of entertaining when it comes to drag. read more

So i came here with some gal pals (gay friends) and i dropped my wallet, not realizing it. When they called me to tell me they found it was like um okay I'm trying to sleep you should have told me while I was there. Rude. Not going g to risk dropping my stuff here again. Bye read more

Cute place to hang out. One of the only drag shows in the CS area so it's a nice getaway from the country bars on Northgate. The biggest complaint I have is to have more diversity with the drinks!!! They charge you $5 cover (no cards) and they give you small, not much liquor, basic drinks. They can't make anything that doesn't involve a soft drink or club soda. They couldn't even make a Bloody Mary.... they also serve extremely expensive bottled beer. If they had some kind of happy hour or maybe expanded on their drink menu, I'd give it another star or two. Hopefully things improve behind the bar. read more

To begin with this place is more or less a joke of a club. I frequent here with my gay friends every so often because at times NG can be rather hostile. I do not like the fact that I have to be charged 5 bucks at the door for entry, even though I am 22. Alcohol...talk about expensive!!! For the selection that they have and the quality of drinks, you would expect more reasonable prices. 24 dollars for 2 shots is absolutely ridiculous. Lastly the management team is probably the most piss poor group of people to crawl into the B/CS area. Verbal abuse, physical threats, and a general disdain for humanity is but a few of the problems that plague those "humans". I look forward to seeing another club open up in this area so that this prime location can be put to decent use. read more

Ehh this place is fun depending on the company you keep. The drag shows are a hot mess! I mean I didn't expect much to begin with. Ceaser is the best DJ for this club. He's the Saturday DJ but I think he should be the permanent DJ for the whole weekend. The number one thing I wish would change is people being allowed to smoke in this bar. It's so nasty and when you get home you totally smell like you've been dancing in an ash tray. read more

Halo was my first clubbing experience, ever, and I loved it! I'm under 21, and while it sounds like I missed out on some of the alcohol based on the other reviews here, my friends and I still had a great time dancing, and we certainly weren't the only underage people there. After spending an hour bored out of our minds at Hurricane Harry's, Halo was a huge relief! We were able to actually dance, and everyone was really friendly - we had a few different people stop and introduce themselves on the dance floor. No cover before 11 pm was also great for us broke college students! read more

Man, I really can't compete with Lee S.'s review -- I know hetero guys have their fears about going to gay bars, whereas straight girls revel in any kind of bars, so I can't comfort the former -- but man, I love this place. I've only been once, meeting up with a couple out of town friends and some locals: a BLAST. Good dance music, sparse furniture upstairs so that it's mostly dedicated to dance floor; the couches & the good lighting (not bright, but good for carrying conversations in) downstairs lend the lounge-y feel a good vibe -- but the bartender we had that night. Man. Changed my life forever, how? Three words: Dirty Girl Scout. Like a liquid Thin Mint AND alcohol. What gets better than that? read more

When Halo first open back in 2004 it was a dirty fun sexy gay Homo hook up bar. I had lots of wild fun sex with lots of different boys. Then I met the dude that would turn out to be my husband we were married this August in New Mexico. We are 10 years older now and secure and settle down thanks to Halo for meeting the love of my Life there. Also check out the upstairs men's room the urinal is fantastic. read more

I had a fun time here! They charge cover but it's not too bad. Drinks were strong and the music was good! Visiting from Houston I didn't know what to expect but had a great time with great friends! I would go back. BTW, we were there on Saturday night. I can't speak for any other night. It had a decent crowd on Saturday night. read more

If I'm in the mood to get my dance on, Halo's where I go. I love the drag shows. Everyone's welcome as long as they're old enough to get in. Inexpensive cover (charged after 10:30 pm). Drinks are about what you'd expect in a club. I'd just rather they didn't allow smoking. read more

Halo Is the best bar in BCS... they are open 930p - 2a and if you go before 1030p, its usually free, after 1030p its $5 for 21 years and over and $7 for 18-21 years read more

Sad day for halo. If you want to be shoved and threatened by an angry owner, then I guess this is the place to go. Otherwise, take your money elsewhere. My closest friends and I have been returning customers for years now and have always had a blast and felt comfortable to be ourselves here until tonight. After shoving aside my friend, the owner Jeffery- which we had no knowledge of until after- proceeded to yell at another one of my friends for scooting a couch back, in a very rude manner, cussing, and did not even inform my friend that he was the owner. Needless to say, we will no longer be returning to this club. It's sad to see immature behavior from someone who owns a place that is a safe haven for many gays in this very conservative community. Get your shit together Jeffery. read more
