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!

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 recommend the one with dates - such a good dessert drink without being overwhelmingly sweet. The ambiance is unmatched in Houston. Expertly curated 20th C vintage furniture and decor with lots of interesting knick knacks to look at, great conversation pieces. Plus, a pool table up on the second floor. This is a great spot for a quiet hang on the non-busy nights, but I also know they do dance parties on the weekends.

Located in the same spot that once housed the classic ETRO nightclub (Yes that one that relocated…read morefrom Montrose), this place still carries that same eclectic ambiance people come for.. and definitely a different vibe compared to the louder, rowdier clubs across Main (if that's more your thing). The decor is vintage and fun.. They've kept the dance floor and the signature retro-meets-futuristic soundtrack. Think electronic, synthwave, and 80s nostalgia.. it's hard to describe the music but it creates a really unique atmosphere. The menu features a great selections of craft cocktails and international beers which my friends loved. I tried out 2 cocktails and both were pretty solid. (Old fashioned and Moscow mule) Service was fine, there was 1 bartender we saw working but she was efficient. Surprisingly it wasn't too crowded for a Saturday night. Worth checking out if you're into something a little throwback, and not your typical Main club scene.

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 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.

And because of their consistency, they won't fire people who are actual predators. If you are a woman (and ironically it's owned by women) this is an extremely unsafe place to have a drink. If you go and ever wonder who you don't see many bartenders that are women, it's because the men will talk about how funny it is to rape the women drinking at this establishment. This is something the bartenders will laugh and joke about out loud when there are patrons inside of the bar. Imagine what they say when no one else is around. This is something ownership knows about and will refuse to fire the men who participates in these conversations. One same bartender that are doing other very illegal things inside during business hours. Seriously, if you're a woman or a man who cares about women do not give these people your money. Go literally anywhere else! There are so many pubs in the area you can actually go to where you won't be threatened rape! Really upsetting to know when the owners won't do anything about it even when acknowledging this behavior.
