    The bar

    I was told this is the 2nd oldest bar in Houston. I was hoping for live country music...but, that I didn't get. I did get a very friendly and efficient bartender. Also, the patrons were pleasant and engaging. Yes, I recommend this bar, pkg in the lot in back.

    A awesome dive bar in the heart of Houston. The locals were very welcoming and it was a great time singing karaoke!!

    Great dive bar!! One of the best in Houston with the best bartenders! You don't find many bars nowadays with a jukebox. This is one of the reasons of many that makes this bar unique in its own way.

    Not to be confused with Lone Scar Saloon, in which every patron gets stabbed once - but only once and never again. Cute little Saloon and very Texan indeed despite the fact that it's in Houston, which is one of the least Texan Texas cities. So it's nice to have a little slice of Texas in the middle of the city, and we like this place, although we probably only come here on average once a year and only when a friend is meeting us here or whatnot. If they had a weekly trivia quiz that was decent or better, we'd come more.

    God bless Texas. Like Cyrus S, I've driven by Saloon Lonestar many o' times. The most memorable was watching what looked like a homeless man in a wheelchair skurry his way through the doors on a sunny afternoon. "Yes," I thought. "I must go there." A few years later, my friend Tommy and I found ourselves sitting in my car listing off places to go on a Thursday night. Giving the old "been there, done that" excuse to every bar mentioned, I remembered Saloon Lonestar, a place neither of us had been to and would more than likely respect this shiz out of. We parked on the private graveled lot and walked in through the back entrance and quickly found a cozy seat at the bar. A pool table, big screen (not a fancy flat screen) showing a college bball game, the required neon beer signs and an old jukebox playing the blues was on. There were two been-to-hell and back folks lounging in a booth, and three cowboys at the bar. That's when we met Nancy, the petite older Asian bartender. With big permed Texas hair, tight jeans, a saucy little top and a smile, she took our orders -- not before she carded me (woot!) -- and said, "I've never seen you two around. This your first time." Indeed, Nancy, but it won't be our last. The proud, hardworking mother she was, Nancy went on to tell us about her kids, her hard-to-work-with boss/owner (who was just a few bar stools away), the slow business, tales about a few bar brawls and even gave us the low down on how much they markup the frozen pizza they sell. She recommends ordering delivery to the bar instead. This bar doesn't have any daily or happy hour specials, but beer is cheap. You can get a tall PBR for $2.75. All this with the old skool tunes, like James Brown's "It is a Man's Man's Man's World" jammin' in the background.

    Cool little hole in the wall bar ... reminds you of a dice bar but without the cigarette smoke lol They had lone star too which was nice .. juke box was a bit expensive at 3 songs for a dollar but I had not played a juke box in so long lol maybe that is what they cost now We went on a Saturday afternoon and place was vacant with only about 3 somewhat homeless looking people there but hey... they were drinking just like we were lol I will go back ... cold AC ...cold beer ... what else can one want in houston in Ju'e?

    Y'all! I had greatest time here. Not sure the bartender's name but her girlfriend was there visiting her with their pet bird, JJ and they were both so sweet and welcoming. I was taking the megabus back to austin and needed to kill an hour. I had a few lunch drinks with a friend and wanted another beer before I left town. This place was great. Total dive but right in the middle of downtown. Great place and very sweet staff!

    Houston's best Dive Bar. Conveniently located near the Greyhound Station!

    Great Dive Bar! Surprised it's still here and hasn't be replaced by condos. Friendly female bartender, cheap drinks. Thankfully, little in the way of expensive craft beers and hipsters. One other thing that's great about the Lone Star Saloon: the acoustics. The music sounds great in here!

    Scott and me with owner, Joe Lee Thomas, at the Lone Star!

    See all
