Magnolia Park

This was by far one of the most unprofessional and disorganized venues I have ever experienced. Our…read morebook club chose this venue for our annual event because we intentionally support and highlight Black-owned businesses throughout Houston. Every other business we have partnered with has provided exceptional service and hospitality, making this experience even more disappointing. What was supposed to be a four-hour event quickly turned into a disaster when the power went out approximately two hours in. Despite the significant disruption, there appeared to be little urgency from the owner to resolve the issue or properly address the concerns of our guests. Even more troubling was the owner's behavior toward our group. A room full of women was spoken to in a disrespectful, dismissive, and aggressive manner. Rather than demonstrating professionalism and customer service during an already frustrating situation, the owner chose to respond with hostility when concerns were raised. The interaction left many of us feeling disrespected and unwelcome. To make matters worse, the police were called on our group, which felt completely unnecessary given the circumstances and only added to an already unpleasant experience. What is particularly disappointing is that I had initially been recommending this venue to a family member as a potential wedding venue. However, after witnessing the owner's behavior firsthand and experiencing the way our group was treated, I can no longer recommend this business in good conscience. This venue had an opportunity to make a positive impression, but instead it became a major letdown. Professionalism, accountability, and respect for customers should be the standard, especially when things go wrong. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. I will not be returning, and I encourage others to carefully consider their options before booking this venue.

If I could give zero stars I would. I would not recommend this venue to anyone, even if it were the…read morelast venue available. My book club hosted an event at this location, and approximately two hours into the event, the power went out. While power outages are certainly beyond anyone's control, what was completely within the venue's control was how the situation was handled. The manager informed us that a transformer had blown, yet surrounding businesses still had power, which raised concerns about the accuracy and transparency of the information we were given. Rather than communicating openly and professionally, the manager was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional toward our organizers, vendors, and authors--many of whom had traveled to Houston specifically for this event. Instead of showing empathy or attempting to accommodate guests during an unexpected situation, we were told to leave the premises immediately. To make matters worse, vendors and authors were not provided reasonable access or assistance to unload and retrieve their materials. There was no effort to work with us or offer solutions during a difficult situation. Our organization invested significant time, money, and trust into hosting this event at this venue. The lack of professionalism, customer service, and basic courtesy displayed by management was incredibly disappointing and disheartening.

Thumbs Up: POST has done an excellent job repurposing Houston's historic Downtown Post Office into…read morea multipurpose destination. Thumbs Up: The rooftop lawn and garden are beautiful and provide a relaxing place to enjoy the city skyline. Thumbs Up: Portions of the rooftop are dedicated to gardens that grow fresh produce, adding a unique touch to the space. Neutral: I wasn't able to determine where the harvested produce ultimately goes. I'm sure the information is available somewhere, but I don't recall seeing it during my visits. Thumbs Up: I can actually see my home from the rooftop. Thumbs Up: I've watched a few rooftop concerts from my balcony. Thumbs Up: As an added bonus, it's always entertaining to hear some of my neighbors complain about the "noise pollution" during HOA meetings. Living Downtown comes with unique advantages and occasional inconveniences. If someone can't tolerate city life, they may be happier living in the suburb provinces. Thumbs Down: Access to the rooftop is sometimes restricted during seasonal events and special art installations. I understand the need for ticketed events, but I wish general access to the public spaces could remain available whenever practical. Thumbs Down: I am able-bodied, but I couldn't help noticing that rooftop access appears difficult for visitors who use wheelchairs or have mobility impairments. The elevators are not easy to locate, and several were out of service during my many visits. Improving accessibility would make this space more welcoming for everyone.

Skylawn is a multipurpose space consisting of a rooftop park and organic farm at Post Houston. The…read moreviews of the skyline are amazing! I've visited a few times over the last few years. They host an array of events and activities (some are free, while others are ticketed). Events and activities include live music, DJs, yoga, Zumba, and seasonal events like Winter Wonderlawn during Christmas and Lunar New Year. There are seven gardens which take up about an acre. There's signs throughout the lawn that explain the different gardens and various spaces. Sky Farm is operated by Blackwood Educational Land Institute and they focus on regenerative agriculture and cultivation of food. The Outpost can be rented for events. Yelp Houston has hosted some events at the Outpost in the past. During the summer, it gets very hot! They have quite a few covered/shaded areas and there's vendors throughout if you need water or a beverage. There's lots of seating too (both covered and uncovered). A visit to Post Houston isn't complete without making the trek up to Skylawn! The views alone are worth it!

The Silo - DEATH TRAP!  Compare with pictures the owner posted and you can see how much metal has been lost from the upper portion of the silo.

This is a very interesting event venue. Located in the lower part of 5th Ward, I imagine that The…read moreSilo must look like the perfect location for a horror movie when there isn't an event going on. The old converted rice mill sits on 7 acres and has plenty of interesting attractions. When we first arrived for our event, I had been warned by one of my friends that there was a person on the street trying to charge for street parking. If you go around to the back of the silo, there is a fairly large, unpaved parking lot that is free. Be careful if your car sits low to the ground because it is pretty rough terrain ....but it's free. For the ladies, of you choose to wear heels please beware as the path from the parking spot, across the train tracks and to the entrance can feel like a mini obstacle course. Once we got in, I only got to see two spaces. The main entrance area has an old automobile graveyard in the back corner thar is worth checking out. The second area featured a very high stage great for a live band or dj. The Silo is definitely a unique event venue worth visiting.

I visited the venue for the Texas Tailgate and Craft Roadshow yesterday night and while I loved the…read morespot overall I do wish there was gravel in the parking lot or at least even and maintained grass because it was hard to navigate to and from our cars in the dark with the uneven ground and tall grass. I really like the old busses, raised stage and other cool pieces throughout the location but did not really like that it had no lighting and limited portapotties(gross!) I was torn between 3 and 4 stars but the parking lot has been in poor condition for a few years now.. hopefully it will be tended to soon so I can leave !!
