5 stars is based on my Friday nights at Numbers. Sure, the drinks are Ok, the bathrooms are nasty, and the staff is not bending over backwards to be super friendly but hell, it's all about the music. I grew up in the late 80's as a young adult clubbing in New Orleans. Club Berlin, The Riviera, Scandals and of course Kenny Vincent's Southside. Oh, and a few trips to The Kingfish in Lake Martin (Lafayette) La. When I started visiting a friend of mine in Houston on a regular basis I started looking for a club we could visit and much to my delight I found Numbers. What a flash from the past! I'm 58 yrs old but every time I step on the dance floor listening to those old school club tunes I feel like I'm 20 again! Keep it up Numbers! I'm looking forward to my next visit :) read more

First time at Numbers & unfortunately a very disappointing experience. My friends and I paid to get in and were allowed inside. A few minutes later, we were kicked out and told we were "rude" and had been cutting the line, which was NOT true. We were also told that we had supposedly been told before entering that we couldn't go inside, which was confusing because we were allowed in, paid admission, and were even about to get drinks. I understand that a club has the right to refuse service, but I don't understand why we were allowed to enter and charged if we supposedly weren't permitted to be inside. We also weren't offered a refund after being kicked out and received no service. The white lady with purple hair who kicked us out was extremely rude and disrespectful. The way she spoke to us was completely unnecessary, and she made an already frustrating situation much worse instead of simply explaining what the issue was. She also recorded members of our group dancing without our notice, which I found uncomfortable. & I will admit that I became extremely frustrated and cussed at staff. I could have handled my frustration better. However, I still feel that the situation could have been handled much more professionally and respectfully, i genuinely felt like I was being treated unfairly. This was my first time at Numbers, and unfortunately it's not an experience that would make me want to come back at all. read more

Love this place. Ended up spending New Year's Eve here last night and honestly couldn't have picked a better spot. The energy was high, the dance floor stayed packed, and the vibe felt exactly like what you want going into a new year--fun, welcoming, and alive. It's one of those places where you can show up as yourself, dance without judgment, and just be in the moment. The crowd was a great mix of people, everyone in a good mood, and it felt like one big shared celebration rather than just another night out. Always a solid choice, especially for a night like NYE. read more

Apparently it had been 14 years since I came here and judging by my review 14 years ago, I was unhappy with that visit but given that Etro is closing and it was a friend's birthday, I thought it would be a perfect time to check out the place where I made a lot of my 90's memories with friends long gone, and see what's new and update the review! At first glance the club looks exactly the same as it was before for anybody who used to come here in the 90's. Again, I'm pretty sure everybody working there is still the same too but probably using larger fonts on their phones like I am. The club has always been super diverse from the young people just starting out their journey into "clubbing" to old people enjoying the music they grew up with. Hell, there was even an old lady with a walker there this time. You don't see that in the Midtown clubs. There is also a noticeable improvement on the sound system. I'm not an audiophile so I don't know the finer points of what makes things sound good but the music just sounded crisp and you can hear all the details. They also have a really good light system with laser beams and LEDs all over the place but it's not over-done. The bathrooms....yeah they're the same. nasty nasty wet floors. A few notes, as it turned out, the cover charge is now $10 instead of $5 in the old days but the door guy told me that if you guy before 10pm, it's still 5...I was there like 10 minutes too late so it would have been nice of him to forgive that extra 10 minutes alas, it is what it is and maybe in 14 years I'll actually ask around first! I kid...On the plus side, they had happy hour till 10:30 PM and drinks were like around $2? so it kind of made up for it. I'm not going to lie, I had a blast even though the AC was not keeping up with the crowd. I'll try to make it here more often now. read more

Went on Friday for 80s night!! It was so fun! The music and lights were amazing. It filled up nicely as the night went on! Fun crowd with a range of types of people. Everyone was so kind and inviting! 18+ up club and got to take my little sis and she had a great experience! They have multiple different areas to grab a drink if you want. They had a deal for cheap well drinks until I believe 10:30pm. I got a double and it was like $3 lol Loved it. Will definitely come back when i'm in town again. Excited to see what the other nights are like! read more

Came here on a whim with a friend on a Friday night. We were driving by and when he saw the place insisted that we should stop for 80's night. Such an interesting crowd of people of all ages!! I'm not a huge 80's music fan, but love to dance and this was definitely a great spot for it. Bathrooms were not super clean but were honestly fine as far as club bathrooms go. Service was very quick and the bartenders were super friendly. Drinks were also pretty cheap which is always a plus. I would definitely come back. read more

PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE, COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME! Let me start off with; If I could give it zero stars, I would. Last Friday, my girlfriend and I decided to check out this club. At first, we were having a good time. A few minutes later, we went to the bar to get a drink and stood in line. While we were waiting, we were standing very close to each other as we should, then the bald bartender saw us. I walked up to the bar, but before I could even put my order in, this guy started shouting at me for no reason. I know because of his being extremely homophobic, he got triggered by us being close to each other and then he SPRINT infront of the bar and aggressively grabbed me, broke the bracelet they gave us for ordering drinks, and kicked us out. The bald guy in the photo is the one I'm talking about. He was rude, aggressive, racist and OPENLY homophobic. I actually got the photo from another customer on Google Reviews who had a SAME literally, word to word THE SAME experience, so it's not just us. He threatened to call the police on us when we tried to calmly talk to him. He didn't listen to us at all just kept yelling. Because of him, what started as a fun night turned into one of the worst experiences ever. I will put a written complain or report about this club wherever I need to. DO NOT GO TO THIS CLUB. NEVER EVER. STAY AWAY. read more

Pro tip - embrace the 80's vibes and bring cash for the door cover. The line will move so much faster. Sometimes they even set up a cash only line when the regular line gets too long. So save yourself the time - bring cash! I have been coming to this club since the 80s. And this place just gets better and better every year. They've added lights, lasers and more smoke machines. The experience on the Dance floor feels like you are in a an immersive Las Vegas style light show AND you get to dance in the middle of it all. Come with an open mind - the crowd is very diverse - everyone is welcome. Pro-tip 2 Don't dance in a circle with your friends, while it looks great in the movies, this dance floor is too crowded for that nonsense and you'll annoy your fellow dancers and the DJ might shut you down. In the winter months - they have a coat check for a couple bucks And the club has great merch! don't forget get to buy a T-shirt to remember the night. read more

Welcoming to everyone. Drinks are good and cheap. Goth industrial New Wave and Disco. Choose your favorite night.

Honestly one of my favorite clubs. The vibe and atmosphere are everything I love. The music is pretty unique. Last time I went was for underworld and it was a nice mix of German dance music and dark goth bass dancing music. Exactly what I want sometimes. The Second floor is my favorite spot to vibe and drink. read more

I have been going to Numbers for 4-5 years now and what can I say. Legendary space that is what it is. Is it fancy? No. Is there easily accessible parking? Also no. Is it great for my claustrophobia? No. And so? Who cares...the ambience is cool, as is much of the art and the variety of events they host is fantastic. I avoid the Oddities Market because I find the crowd density and the space overwhelming. Everything else? Fun with great drink prices. read more

Fun as hell. Went saturday night and there was a depeche mode cover band and they preformed fantastic. Friendly bartenders and good lights. Overall fun time read more

I came across this nightclub while looking for 18+ clubs for my birthday. This was a great new experience with an amazing light show. The people do their own thing and you can do yours. The bartenders were super polite and nice. I can't say much about the drinks or food. But my sister did enjoy their 1.30 well drinks until 10:30. Overall was not let down by my experience here. Would go again for their weekly friday 80s night. read more

If you are trying to have an enjoyable night, go to any other clubs. Workers are very rude and disrespectful. Door people made rude remarks trying to be "funny" but it wasn't. Bartenders had no customer service skills and acted like making your one shot mixed drink was the most annoying thing to do on earth (it's your literal job). You have better luck enjoying your night and feeling good giving the $10 cover to the homeless man outside. read more

It's 18+ and they have a separate cash line most of the time. It gets really lively at about midnight imo. My favorite club.

I have been a Numbers fan for quite some time. I went to an. the oversold concert, which had no. ADA section and people passing out. Consistently rated a top venue. I have seen many shows there. I saw a lack of concern for patrons and an accident waiting to happen . read more

It's a fun place to be. Check their nightly event very very interesting crowd . It's been around for over 15 years .

Great time there listening to Boys don't cry. Only one bartender but she was hustling.

This place is tons of fun. Fridays night us some jams! Definitely a good vibe for a good time.

Although touted as a "goth" club, the DJ often plays crap like Madonna and Gwen Stafani. The bathrooms smell like they haven't been clean since the 70s and they over fill the small venue with people making it too hot and crowded to enjoy dancing. read more

Review #123 Oh #'s. You've had my heart since the 1990s. A Houston institution in the Montrose area located on the infamous Westheimer Rd. I would come here in my 20s on Friday nights to get my New Wave fix. Now I come occasionally for the shows and the 6400 parties (native Houstonians know what I am talking about). I can count on #s to bring back my favorite bands from the 80s, 90s and so on. Music from Depeche Mode, Gene Loves Jezebel, Erasure, Ministry, Front 242, Nitzer Ebb will rekindle the long lost club kid inside of you. Disclaimer - Don't come here if you're looking for main stream 80s and 90s music. You're not going to find it. Know your club music ladies and gents. What you need to know. 1) Parking - LOOK FOR NO PARKING SIGNS! There is street parking, however you will have to search for it, it can me time consuming and in fact a nightmare. Just take an Uber. 2) Full bar. A few of them in fact. 3) Bathrooms have been re-done since the 90's-2000s! I actually don't mind using them now. HA! 4) Be tolerant. You will see every type of human being inside #s. Nicest people you have ever met. Don't judge! I don't want anyone judging my yuppie self for showing up! ; ) 5) Few areas to sit. But why sit, you came here to dance your ass off! 6) Check the website to know what the theme of the night is. Friday is my favorite which is classic numbers. Lots of shows come through, so check the schedule. 7) Judgment free zone! read more

I spent my high school years in this club back in the 80's. I NEVER left the dance floor. Sad to say tonight I went for my birthday to relive those nights. And to my disappointment they only played a handful of songs from back then. I might of danced to 8 songs in the 5 hours I was there. I even got there at 9 because I was so excited. I even made a birthday request. Yeah it didn't get played. Thank you. To all my fellow 80's fans that came here back in the day, don't waste your time. No Erasure, no OMD, one Depeche Mode Song, one New Order Song, no Echo and the Bunnymen, no Joy Division, no Anything Box. read more

First time at a club and they didn't disappoint pure 80s music which I loved picked up around 11pm. Danced with dudes had a blast and didn't drink so don't know how they're prices are. $10 cover charge just to enter. Huge dance floor and have bleachers to sit also some tables. Lots of lights I had so much fun. Will return but I want to go to a hip hop modern music club next. read more

I've been coming to Numbers for about 7 years. It's a long drive from College Station but well worth it! Friday nights are designated "Classic Numbers" where DJ Wes Wallace mixes 80s music and he is fabulous! Saturday nights are usually more industrial goth music. Shannon at the main bar is amazing, unbelievably cool, and always fast with the drinks! There are two other bars downstairs and one upstairs, as well. Come out ready to dance and meet some amazing people and one of Houston's oldest nightclubs! read more

this was my first ever clubbing experience and it was so amazing! i was a little nervous since i'm under 21 and a female but the people i interacted with were so respectful and open minded, i felt very safe. Went on a friday 80's night so there was an equal amount of younger and older adults there, alot more younger adults than I expected. Was truly such a great experience and one of the best nights i've had in a while, will definitely be returning! read more

Have only been a few times, On Friday classic numbers night, not really much new wave played, way to much obscure stuff that I've never heard of, and Saturday which is Gothic/EMB and some other stuff, If you are more into classic EBM circa late 80's to early 90's this is not the place for you. If you are a Elder Goth, you might be disappointed. read more

First time to a night club and this was the best experience to dive into a good night club and the atmosphere was fantastic

Recently hosted a high school senior grad party at #s and it was a HUGE success!!! Rudi, the owner, went above and beyond to ensure we were happy. He provided free soft drinks and water bottles for the guests, offered a bartender, a check-in person at the door and bathroom attendants. Also, threw in a DJ (my only critique is I wish she would have mixed the songs more...basically just played the playlist, but we should have requested more from her in advance). His staff was not only available while we decorated but helped tremendously....blowing up balloons, creating balloon arches, hanging decor from the rafters. Not in a million years did we expect this kind of support!! And then the staff ordered a pizza and invited us to eat with them...seriously??!! Alan and Brandon were key in making sure our girls had a wonderful event and I cannot thank them enough. If you are looking for a venue where the staff is extremely helpful, accommodating, and energized, look no further. This was a PERFECT venue for a grad party. And we can't wait to go back for 80s night!! Thanks Rudi and Staff!!! read more

I've been going to this place since I was 16 years old (17 years ago) and it always stayed the same the people, the music, the bad smells and the flooded restroom floors this is the place to be on Friday nights if you are in Houston and like 80s music numbers is more than a club it's like a family I love this place always have always will. read more

I've been to Numbers Night Club many times in the last six years. Don't believe what Ella Trey says. I was there that night and she was kicked out for harassing and taunting other club goers and for using drugs openly. It's never ok to light up a joint in the bathroom and blow the smoke in another person's face and harass with nasty comments. Numbers has always been accepting of people from all walks of life but if you use drugs openly and harrass others don't be surprised when you are asked to leave! read more

I've been going to Numbers the last 5 years or so. It can be an acquired taste for some people, but personally I always have a great time. Numbers Classic Night on Fridays is my favorite time to visit. I love dark 80s/industrial and they always play my favorite artist - Gary Numan. Wes Wallace is an awesome DJ! The drinks are REALLY strong and it doesn't take many to give you a nice buzz. James is the best bartender! :) You can easily dance the night away and lose track of time. They did an amazing tribute to David Bowie and Prince. I've never seen it so crowded for the Bowie tribute. Absolutely incredible! Halloween is always fun here too. Nobody does Halloween like Numbers! The only reason I took away a star are the bathrooms... please, PLEASE remodel the bathrooms! They are always so gross and the women's one always seems to flood by midnight. I love the place, but I don't understand why they don't remodel after all of these years... Overall, Numbers rocks though! If you want to dance the night away and have some killer drinks, come to Numbers! read more
