I'll be back for more.

It's a rectangular club with a huge stage in the middle, an upstairs balcony, lots of tables and chairs and a big dance floor. It's an older crowd mostly but I did see younger people. Staff spoke English and was very friendly. The stage, sound and lighting is impressive. I bet you would be surprised. Several birthdays going on, many small groups at the tables and booths inside. While there is a bar, there is no seating at the bar. Instead, there are 3-4 small high tables near the bar with 2 seats. I think they should have more seating in the bar area as its difficult to mingle without either dancing or awkwardly sitting at someones table. They do serve food and there is odd table service. Odd because you don't know who the servers are. They aren't wearing uniforms, name tags, or anything to know if they work there or are customers.I think the cost to enter varies on who is performing. It costs more to buy tickets at the door, don't ask where to get them in advance though. I paid $15 but the ticket said $10. Performers were very good. I was actually chatting with one of them not knowing it. Next thing I knew they were up on stage. Overall I would go back but I think it's better to go with friends due to the strange bar layout. I went myself and had no problems though. It was a fun experience.

A Beautiful Venue, Great Food & a Whole Vibe!…read more We visited The Roof for our Girlfriends NOLA Jill Scott Concert Brunch, and we had such a wonderful experience! First, the venue is absolutely beautiful. From the moment our group arrived, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. They made our group feel right at home, and that always makes a difference when you're traveling and celebrating with a large group of ladies. Now, let's talk about the FOOD! The brunch was served buffet-style, and I must say--everything I tried was delicious. There was a great variety, including fried chicken, catfish bites, seafood pasta, red beans and rice, vegetables, potatoes, spring rolls, fruit, and more. I enjoyed everything, but those fried catfish bites and seafood pasta were the standouts for me. I went back for seconds on both! And if I go back for seconds, you know it was good! The bartender deserves her flowers too! She was handling the crowd by herself and did a great job keeping things moving. Most importantly, the drinks were perfectly made. Nothing watered down or thrown together just because she was busy. And the DJ was definitely a vibe! The music added exactly the right energy to our brunch and had us enjoying ourselves before heading out for the Jill Scott concert. I also have to mention the owner is such a sweetie! Not to mention she's also from New Orleans! You could feel the hospitality, and we truly appreciated how well our Girlfriends NOLA group was treated. Thank you to The Roof for helping make our Houston weekend even more memorable. Between the beautiful venue, delicious food, good drinks, friendly staff, great music, and warm hospitality, we had a wonderful time. Girlfriends NOLA approved! We would absolutely visit again!

No such thing as a bad seat. The stage is located in the middle with surrounding seats forming a…read morecircle. Even if you are on the last row, you are good, especially since there are several screens to watch as well. Since the stage rotates, make sure you know what section you are seated. I was trying to find my seat based on the way I thought the stage was facing, not knowing it was rotating. Long lines for drinks, but what venue doesn't? I love that the crowd moves around and aren't confined to their seats. People walk, stand and dance in the isles which is awesome for those who get antsy in a seat for long periods of time. The restrooms are very clean and maintained due to the cleaning staff that is on standby. The parking garage is conveniently located right next to the theatre. I prefer to use the stairs since the crowd is too big for the limited amount of elevators. If you dont like to wait in line, leave right before the last act because the parking garage can get backed up quick. Overall, this is a nice outing. Not to be compared to the Smart Financial Center or other big venues.

I rate it a 4 and not lower because its a black owned and we should have negotiated a better deal for outselves I hate that they didn't treat us vip and all the "blues" artist didn't show ??

It's hard to review this venue in simple verbiage. I need to get past the…read more "OMG OMG Happy Puppy Dance Dude it was sick!" sort of catch phrase review. It's important to get this review right, as it's so important. Important because the event and intent is so special, so unique, and the way it's executed is so professional, yet intimate at the same time. What it is- Mona Cabler and James Adams open their hearts and their home (along with others) once a month, and invite all to come hear quality top shelf music performers up close, while enjoying a down to earth meal. All this in a casual setting with a bunch of laid back folks. This is all accomplished for a suggested donation of 35 bucks. Why it is- These folks have made it their Godly mission to help support local vetted charities, and every single dime over actual costs goes right back out. They don't keep a dime. Who it is- My wife and I have had the chance to see Hamilton Loomis, Shake Russell, and most recently Lisa Morales. Talent like this playing three feet away from you really does make an impression. They have all kinds of musical styles showcased over the year. Pick what fits. The event has all the feel of a back yard bar-be-que, blended with a bring a dish social, and a good ole neighborhood get-together. At the same time, you get to be pampered by the organizers, and the chance to meet some new friends. These folks really work HARD to serve you. This is a true calling. Go to their website- Check out who's coming. Make a commitment. This unique combination of entertainment, socializing, eating,and just plain having fun, all in the name of a good cause, stands alone, and I can't recommend it any stronger, so 5 stars it is. http://pearlandhouseconcerts.com/ David and Joy

Parking: Lot E is a gamble about 30-40 minutes from showtime, but you can get lucky…read more Seriously one of the bastions of Houston. It's a miracle that they're still able to provide high quality, free entertainment in this day and age. The booking process is a bit random - for extremely popular shows, there's a lottery, but otherwise you refresh during the ticket drop and get into a queue and can pick up to four tickets in the covered seating area (which also has huge ceiling fans. Huge plus.) or just hang out on the hill. Digital tickets are a huge upgrade where you don't have to wait at will call anymore. Seating is fantastic - plenty of walking space, seats have cupholders, and pretty much every seat has a clear view of the stage at a different angle for adults of all heights. There is difficulty in seeing ground level acts like the contortionist. (The interpretation of Da Vinci was phenomenal though, you can imagine). I always try to make it to at least one Cirque show every year and it's always a blast. Cheers to what they do here.

It's nowhere near me, but I still enjoy making the trip because I always feel welcomed. I especially love the live music and the vibes. It's laid-back, comfortable, and unpretentious, with that neighborhood hangout feeling that can be hard to find. The patio is great, the food and drinks hit the spot, and it's just a fun place to relax and enjoy yourself. If you want something chill with a neighborhood hangout vibe, this is the place. Whether I'm listening to the live music, having a drink, or just enjoying the atmosphere, I always have a good time. Definitely one of my favorite Houston spots.
