This... this place is so unique on soooo many levels. Where do I even start... When you first…read moreenter, there's a lot of antique stuff, animals, and mannequins. And randomly that's a chess table haha. In the back, there is a small bar that has cocktails, some with Asian inspiration. There's a staircase nearby that takes you upstairs. Every time I went, the door was closed, and there is a second bar that overlooks the first floor kind of like a speakeasy. But the journey continues of a spiral staircase next to this second floor bar! You take that, and you end up in a small outdoor area -- it's surrounded by buildings, so it's not quite a rooftop vibe. Seating is very limited and a lot of people smoke out there. But you can go inside on this third floor, and there is even more vintage stuff, and another bar behind a window. There are a bunch of rooms with different vintage stuff that kind of reminds me of this bar in DC I used to love. But what really kept me coming back was the sound dome. No matter where you stood in there, other people could hear you because of how the sound carries. There were some stimulating visuals on the ceiling, and you can Bluetooth to the rather epic stereo sound system. The comfy stools and the bean bag couches make it the perfect spot for an impromptu listening party. What other places have things like this?! Out of all the places I went to in houston, I found myself coming here the most. The Sunday night karaoke was a bonus too :).

I first learned about this spot through my sister, as she and her boyfriend are huge board game…read moreenthusiasts. Whenever they invite me here, it is hard to say no. It is such a cozy and welcoming café, and I always enjoy spending a few hours getting immersed in different board games. The concept alone makes this place a fun and unique destination. That being said, while I love the atmosphere and experience, I do not think the drinks are particularly impressive. In fact, I would consider them below average compared to other cafés in the area. The iced matcha latte tasted noticeably low quality, and the hibiscus tea was reminiscent of feet. The only drink I have consistently enjoyed has been the iced chai latte, which was flavorful and well balanced. The food, however, is a different story. I have generally had much better experiences with the food than with the beverages, making it a better option if you are looking for something to snack on while playing games. If your main goal is to enjoy the board game selection and spend time with friends, I would recommend ordering food rather than coming specifically for the drinks. Overall, this place shines because of its atmosphere, board game collection, and the experience it offers. While the beverages leave something to be desired, the fun environment and solid food options keep me coming back.

They own 2 pool tables and the music is mostly punk and hard rock. The owner is honestly the nicest guy you'll meet behind a bar. Seemingly running the place on his own. The fact that the location isn't crowded makes this place a hidden gem. If you don't see parking in front, the back parking lot is always wide open. Definitely recommend supporting this local business!

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.

We didn't get a chance to go all the way up to the top so I will have to go back to see what everyone is talking about. It's kind of cool that it's on the bayou. I look forward to going back more this spring. Just fyi, the actual parking lot is really small so you will most likely have to park on the street. But it is a wide street so you should be fine.

I went for their Monday industry night, they were supposed to have $5 specials on rumpleminze,…read morerepo, and Jameson. I ordered 3 Repo drinks and got charge $58 dollars. I get it, bars got to make their money, but most I was expecting on three $5 drinks was to pay $25, $15 for drinks and another $5-10 with tips/tax. Only reason I'm giving them a 3 star rating and not a 1 star rating is because the DJ was fire. Had a lot of us dancing, if I were them I would stop promoting the specials if they will not come true with it. Other than that, the people there were a vibe and the music was fire.

First time at TNP and I'll definitely be back !…read more Location/parking : I love that there are more and more things I'm discovering in east Houston! TNP is perfect as its own spot but also for a night cap after listening to music at East River (which is what I did) Parking felt a bit complicated. There seemed to be some street parking around but I wasn't sure if it was an option, so I tried to pull into a dirt lot I saw other cars parking in. Needless to say it didn't work out so well for me - my car got stuck in the mud and left me with a moment of anxiety as I tired to get out... That was the only negative experience for me though ! Venue: From the outside it seemed pretty small but it's much larger than expected ! There's and indoor and outdoor bar. The indoor bar has restrooms and some seating. Outside there is tons of seating and in back as well. Staff: I only ordered from the inside bar and the bartender there was awesome ! He also seemed very excited to make some creative drinks which was awesome and unexpected Other things to note: There was a dj for a while when we arrive It's dog friendly !
