We ended up parking by some apartments down the road (across the street from the venue next to a gas station). The bar was located outside. It was a makeshift bar. The prices were good and the bartenders were nice. We asked one of the bartenders about parking and they indicated that you're allowed to park across the street in the Lawndale Medical Clinic (strip club parking lot) they did advise not to park at the pawn shop. They don't sell food. I believe they recently moved from the building next door. That old venue still has "The End" on it so it was a bit confusing. We walked past the new location not knowing we missed the entrance. My partner suggested we walk open the door where we heard a band playing and thankfully we found it (our friends also had this issue). This location doesn't have any bathrooms located inside but they had a couple of port-a-potties outside next to the makeshift bar. I hope that's not permanent. This place had a definite dive vibe which I enjoyed.

The ambiance is delightfully cozy, with dimmed lights casting soft glows on eager faces. The mic feels like a sacred vessel, capturing raw emotions, bold verses, and rhythmic flows. The staff manages the crowd with grace, serving drinks that perfectly complement the poetic vibe. From heartfelt sonnets to fiery spoken word, each performer breathes life into the night. For anyone craving an authentic, soul-stirring evening, Poetry Lounge is it.

We ended up at Pearl Bar after leaving Beetlejuice Beetlejuice for our Houston Gayborhood meetup,…read moreand listen... this was not even part of the plan, but I am so glad we went. We got there early, so for a little while it was just our group in there, and that honestly made it even more fun. We had space to dance, act a fool, and just enjoy each other before the crowd came in. Once people started trickling in, the energy picked up in the best way. The DJ was doing their thing all night. We were dancing, singing like it was karaoke without the mic, and just having a genuinely good time. The drinks were good, and the whole vibe just felt easy and fun. Nothing forced. We even spent some time outside watching people play Jenga, which was way more entertaining than it should have been. I have heard mixed reviews about Pearl, especially about the crowd, but I can only speak on my experience. This past Saturday? It was a whole vibe. I have been before and it did not hit like this, but this time definitely did. Pearl is officially back in my rotation.

The DJ was live and had everyone moving. From line dances to songs you didn't miss a lyric to, we were chilling. Drink deals were reasonable and the bar tenders were friendly with great energy. I had a great time and will be back to visit the new location. Happy Yelping!

The inside is retro like. The whole place was different and they seem to have an upstairs deck that was closed off just for this event maybe. No food just drinks. Definitely a place to visit for a group gathering if you just want to do something different and get drinks.

I stopped by Dan Electros Guitar Bar on a Wednesday night. First off, before I get to it, what a…read morecool name for a bar. Let's get to it. Ambiance (3/5): Dan Electros is located in a residential neighborhood. They have a relatively small parking lot and it was completely full on a Wednesday. We ended up parking on the street a block or two away. Initially, I wasn't too impressed. Dan Electros has a gravel parking lot. Never a fan. It gets your car dirty and your shoes dirty. When you walk in though, you're entering a dive bar with some character. It's tough to describe what that is exactly but it's something you feel. Dan Electros hosts a lot of live music and they have a small dance floor. If you're into live music, as I am, this may be the spot for you. They also have a pool table which is always a plus in my book. Service (4/5): I ordered a drink at the bar. I was greeted promptly and received my drink promptly. When I later went back to the bar to close out, I was able to do so without much effort. Solid experience overall. Food (N/A): I didn't have any food as I had dinner prior, but I don't think they have food anyway. I'm not 100% though. Drinks (4/5): For a dive bar, Dan Electros has a cool menu with some interesting cocktails and a good beer list. Even at a dive bar, it's nice when you can order more than just beers and simple cocktails. With that said, I had a beer. When in Rome.

But the 4 star rating is honestly for the vibe. The ambiance was everything, our server was so attentive and the music selection was great. Perfect for a girls night out or hanging out but just very overpriced. Pay for parking or get an uber, but over all be ready for a fun time.

Since there was old westerns on tv with nobody watching, we didn't think asking to change would be an issue. Well, we were told "this ain't no Aggie bar" by the bartender and that they were going to watch the baseball game...that's not on for 2 hours. Very strange. I've never encountered anything like this before and I'm really disappointed to have to scratch this off the list.

Rolled up here this past Saturday for the Tropidelic concert. Wasn't sure what to expect when I…read moregot here as the photos made this seem like this was a restaurant with a stage area. Fortunately when I arrived, I followed the sign to the gate area where there's a more open area for bands to play in an outside covered area. The merchandise tables are on the left when you walk in. Go further to the left and there's a walk-up bar, seating, a small food stand and restrooms behind the bar area. Concerns eased! Had a blast watching the show which included Joey Harkum as the opener and then the Kyle Smith band as the middle act before the main act. The crowd brought awesome energy and all the bands crushed their performances. Plus the floor is very close to the stage so I was able to be up front and center to where you could slap hands with the performers if they feel like it. Only issue is parking. I heard the stories about the parking situations here and noticed that people had trouble parking or trying to figure out if they would be towed. I'd recommend doing lyft/uber here so it's one less headache to worry about. Look forward to more shows here!

They also have a dedicated parking lot. They do have a small kitchen that have food here. But it is all about the concert venue here now. Some part of the venue is not really handicap friendly here. The venue is much more legit compare to back then.

Such a fun place for a night out in the heights!…read more As you enter, there are swings and lots of outdoor areas to sit. My friend and I quickly grabbed a spot on a swing and a server came to take our drink order/ open a tab for us. Both my friend and I ordered Deep Eddy Lime w/ Club Soda and they were brought to us quickly. The prices were also reasonable for a bar in the heights. After the first drink, we moved to sit at the bar inside and were quickly helped by the bartenders. All staff were very friendly and hustled to get everyone their drinks. As the night went on, the bar got more and more crowded and it was a great atmosphere. The DJ played good music (and took requests) and kept everyone hyped. We would definitely go back!

I have only been to the McIntyre's in the Heights off of 20th so can only speak for that location…read more I have been to the Heights location probably close to 3-4 times now which is odd looking back that somehow I ended up there that many times. I wouldn't say it's a place I would seek out personally but I don't necessarily mind going there if others want to go. First off, the service is a bit on the slower side but I don't think that's the bar or bartender's fault. The bar area is small-ish compared to the amount of patrons that occupy the space. The patrons are typically there to pound some drinks too. It can definitely get a bit rowdy there; think overserved patrons, activities going on in the bathroom, people getting kicked out. It is unfortunate that cars being broken into in that neighborhood seems to be a regular occurrence too. If you're looking for a wild night out, McIntyre's Heights might be a good choice for you. There are also some clubs and other bars within walking distance too.
