    I have no idea what the hell that is, nobody explained. Velveeta? Do I want to know?
    Daniel L.

    Sunday brunch jam session is legen- wait for it- dary. When it is nice weather and daydrinking on a patio is the plan put in front of you by the good lord below this is the place to be on Sunday to enjoy some tunes, appreciate a pretty drink, and have some tex-mex all at the same spot. The strawberry margarita is not just pretty, it is very pretty. LOOK AT IT. I would have liked to have known what the velveeta looking saucer was on the table, but I assumed it was velveeta and treated it accordingly. (If any drag queens were considering using a stage name of Velveeta: just don't. For two reasons at least.) The tex-mex fajita omelet took forever for the kitchen to produce. After it had been over 30 minutes and we had not seen our waiter the Lieutenant just flagged down another waitress to go make inquiries. We never got a very good answer, just that it took some time. Well, like duh, sister. Apparently they had to go out back and slaughter the cow with a ritual dagger first or something like that. I feel like there was enough time from this spot in the Warehouse District to actually walk back to Market Square, wait in line at Niko's, and walk back with Greekfast. But then you miss the music. I mean, the music was nice when it was going but they did take frequent lengthy breaks. If trad jazz trios are the internet meme with the guy staring at himself in the mirror pumping himself up to go hard for hours, then this is more the internet meme of the college age millennial drinking a beer now and getting around to other stuff later when it won't stress him out too much. And I wanted another margarita, especially after sitting there staring at an empty margarita chalice for what must have been 45 minutes. Our waiter didn't show his face until we had been ignored for what was nearly an hour, with the food. Given how long the food took it would probably have taken another hour for him to freshen my drink so instead we just ate and moseyed on out to where ever else liquor resides. The service left quite a bit to be desired for a cantina type joint where they basically just bring you stuff and you don't expect sparkling conversation since you want to listen to tunes. But the music was great when the musicians were going, the patio was perfect in nice weather, and that one drink was hella pretty. I could not advise coming here if you were hungry at the time since they are pretty dang leisurely about bringing you food and whatever in the HECK that velveeta dish saucer truly is remains a mystery. For food and freshening up your pretty drink they make you shiver in antici -wait for it, and here you will be waiting for it homey- pation.

    We were recently there for the "I'll Have What She's Having" charity event. We'd never been here before, and can't wait to come back! What a great little slice of Austin here in EaDo! Awesome set up with a huge tented outdoor space (great for...'inconsistent' Houston weather), good stage and acoustics, solid bar. Seems like a fun, family friendly spot!

    You did not warn people in advance at your venue last night, Heart Byrne on where not to park. Quiet a few cars were towed from the dirt parking lot. The signage said for customers and employees only. You should warn your patrons. Ps. What happened to your restaurant?

    The staff, food and show was awesome, but the management refused to make a refund for $161 excess charges. After admitting it was a mistake, promised to refund, delayed refund claiming software challenges, said refund was processed, ultimately refused to refund.

    Went to see TC super star here! Great venue and vibes. Love that it is a sand pit and there is plenty of parking here! Reasonably priced drinks and strong. They could probably do a better job of selling merch.

    5 STARS FUN FUN FUN!! Oh and great authentic Tex Mex too. Wow. What a great time my friends and I had at Last Concert. This place has some serious and unique history and wow, how things and times have changed. Never even heard of this place until my good friend told me about it while getting a pedi. I thought, what a great way to spend our Saturday evening. So we all went! Unbeknownst to me, this is also a very well known and liked/beloved Mexican Restaurant. Very small and quaint for sure. I'm an early bird, so me and my man arrived early and I'm so glad we did. A very popular and well known Cover Band named SkyRocket, played that evening. They are from ATX. They RAWKED the freakin house! I felt like I was back in High School and College. So much fun and they were all on par with the songs, singing and instruments. Very talented musicians. Lots to know here to impress your date or not to be stressed. First, know that you will pay up to $25 per person to see and hear the concert. Very worth it. 2nd-the Restaurant is very much first come first serve. Especially when popular bands such as SkyRocket are playing. We arrived, valet only at $10 up front too BTW, and got our concert tix and headed to the tiny bar and waited for our other friends. Now it's wise to prepay Online for the concerts. We will definitely do that next time. We got seated and ate around 7:30 which is perfect cus the band didn't start until I think 9:30pm. The food was delicious! I definitely did not expect such authentic tasting Tex Mex. Small 1 page menu which is great. The drinks were good too. Frozen Margaritas were perfect as it's still pretty hot and humid in Houston for late September early Oct. There is seating in and outdoors too. Obviously outdoors is way more fun. Once SkyRocket started up, we were moved to go in and enjoy the concert standing room only. Whoop! Good times had by all. Definitely a place we will visit again real soon. So much fun. And I must thank the Restaurant team, because they busted their asses to help all of us enjoy our evening. Forks and Mics UP!!! Whoop!!!

    Concert Cafe is an institution dating back to 1949 Elena "Mama Lopez who ran it well into her 90's. The building was a bordello. tradition has it that door is locked knock twice for entry and door is locked The back patio is lined with picnic tables. This venue boasts touring acts and open mic. Now the food it is good ;not particularly vegan. friendly. The service is fast and friendly. the food is good and the drinks strong a. A first choice in the art/warehouse district.

    Hidden in the Warehouse District amongst studios and abandoned houses is Last Concert Cafe, a hidden Houston gem that every self-proclaimed native or visiting tourist should experience. The menu is your typical Tex-Mex fare, but LCC's pan y mantequilla (ahem, bread and butter) is its eclectic atmosphere and outdoor live music venue. You could dine inside, as quaint and pleasant the decor is, but I recommend grabbing a seat outside, either in one of the private little rooms (or "mini-casas") or further back and closer to the stage. Check their website for their list of shows, but Wednesday's Pot Roast is a local favorite. Keep in mind that if you do venture out back during a show, there's a cover, but it's well worth it. And while your wallet's out, rummage through the jeweled goods sold out back by "watch yo step" man. If you want to kick off your shoes and dance around in the beach sand in front of the stage, do it. If you want to grab a hula hoop and work off that third taco, go for it. If you want to give everyone a laser spectacular show with your new glow sticks, why not? Anything goes at Last Concert Cafe. (Hey, I once ate a cup of queso for 20 bucks. The ol' bossman made me do it.) Some call it a big hippie hangout, but live show entertainment ranges from local country acts to daytime electronic music festivals (Prai Urbana), cover bands ... all sorts. Last Concert Cafe is truly a diamond in the rough. Tips: Be careful where you park, be it for towing or a crazy homeless dude. They have strange hours, so call before you go. If you do choose to order some grub off the menu, a couple of my faves are: the creamy guac with a few lumps of avocado, the cilantro-infused queso and salsa, tres leches and chocolate flan. As you can tell, I'm big on apps and dessert. Service can be a bit ify; sometimes they're understaffed for lunch, but just chill out and have a good time. There's a tiny bar inside (serving up 'ritas a great assortment of bottled beer--no micheladas), as well as a few out back which only open up on busier nights, along with picnic tables, heat lamps for the colder months and fans for the treacherous summer.

    Love the concert experience. Parking is crazy $30. Everytime we go it increases and lack of street parking/safety kinda forces you to pay.

    Great place to see a concert. It's a small venue so it can get crowded. But it is enjoyable.

    I saw the Futurebirds here, and it was totally "rock n roll". The intimate atmosphere and easy bar access makes this place awesome.
