They do not have food, we actually brought pizza in Side from Domino's next-door. We got there early so parking was easy. It's a small place, but there was plenty of seating and two pool tables. People were dancing and having a wonderful time. The band was a lot of fun as well. I would definitely go back. It was $10 cash cover charge on Friday night.

I rode with a friend to celebrate an Htown Legend in Live Music, Marium Echo. If you have never heard of her, shame on YOU! and if you have, then you know it was already a good time to just hear her sing. Her and her band were phenomenal! Two sets from 830 to 11. I did not drink so I cannot tell you about that but I saw plenty people at the bar consistently throughout the night, so I imagine its decent. As far as space is concerned- we'll its called the Liv'n Room. It's about the size of it, Stage is is front of the bar. Two people deep could actually stand and listen to the music but thats it. Otherwise, people stand or sit on left and right of stage, but it doesn't matter when you have a great sound system and someone that can blow. Top it off, Marium and her band know how to engage the crowd with one of the guitarist playing a mean solo into the crowd. This people is live music at it finest in Houston and don't let nobody tell you different. I plan to come back VERY soon cause this was a great time- and I was home by midnight without any drama. That for sure is a win win.

On Fridays they have a 60's throwback which always draws a sizeable crowd. All 3 bars have good beer selections, and there's a large liquor section inside.

We had our wedding at the Omni (The hotel itself was amazing). The bar manager Erika Lawson…read moreconfronted me at the end of the night about an almost $800 tab she thought one of my guests had, which I ended up paying. Once I brought it up to my guest that Erika said opened it, they immediately told me they didn't make this tab. The original tab was also opened over an hour before my wedding ended (which included an open bar), the guest was my maid of honor and none of my guests were at the Black Swan at this point because why would anyone go pay for drinks when they can get them for free???? After trying to get this resolved the day after while I was still at the hotel, I was handed off to multiple other people, and then written off by Ms. Lawson. Even after I had proof that the guest wasn't the one who opened that tab, Ms. Lawson would not reply to multiple emails about this situation and effectively ghosted me. DO NOT come here unless you're paying in cash and ready to deal with this shady operation, it was a huge stain on the night having to deal with something that management roped me into.

The DJs can be kinda meh 50% of the time but the bartenders are always friendly, fast, attentive and ofc very cute. Great place to go with your friends, almost completely women on weekends for dancing (as it should be.) I haven't gotten to try the taco truck yet but if you get out late at 2am when they close there is an amazing greasy smash burger place just a 2 block walk away. Love pearl, always excited to go back

I could only think of 5305 reasons not to post this review, so here we are…read more My main takeaway from this place is 5237. Because then you're left with 69. But that goes both ways. Anyway. This is the brand new destination for Latin nightclub action on the main strip of Washington Avenue, where all the cool and sexy people go. Some of the most attractive people in the city come here, to this club, as well as Heart, and especially Bottled Blonde. This one is wildly popular, especially with a lot of the Hispanic crowd, and it's one of the loudest clubs. We like that it doesn't really have too many rules and seems a lot more enjoyable than a lot of the others. Astrid is our favorite bartender (for so many reasons), and we always go when she's there, but we also like several of the others. So many stunning and friendly employees at 5306, formerly Standard Bar. But the special shout out goes to Astrid, who's one of the most beautiful women in the world, and would have definitely won the bikini contest the other night (Barbi insisted that we go, she's the best gf ever) if she had entered it. So would Barbi, really. However all of the winners were great. Leonor, Karina and Monica came 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and they're all winners as far as we're concerned! Amazing bottle girls. This is Astrid, follow her and come and ask for her as your bottle service girl! https://www.instagram.com/theastridreverte/ Also a special shout out to the girl that does the signage out front, cuz she doesn't wonderful job with that, and it always has cool neon signs of various very appropriate messages such as Mexico or 5306 or whatever special day it is. Probably my joint fave club in Houston, and the often racist, always snobby hatred of this club just makes me love it more.

Bar 5306, you got me (and my friends) good. Located on Washington Ave., close to many popular bars…read moreand clubs like Sugar Room, parking is not easy. There's metered parking on Washington Ave. A lot of the side streets don't allow parking Thursday through Sunday from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. unless you have a valid permit. I was trying to park around 11 p.m. on a Thursday evening, so that made things more difficult. I ultimately found free parking on a side street seven minutes away by foot, but it took a lot of effort. Ambiance (3.5/5): Bar 5306 is a Latin club on most nights it seems like. When I stopped by, there was a DJ there, but he was playing hip-hop instead. The music is loud, so this is the type of place where you go to dance. With it being a Thursday, there were only 15 people there or so. I imagine that's a different story on a Friday or Saturday night. There's a large dance floor, booths for VIP seating, table top seating, and a bar. If you want to get away from the music, there's also an outdoor patio. Which is where we hung out for the most part so we could talk. Service (1/5): This is where Bar 5306 sticks you. Upon entering, they have a list of 10 or so craft cocktails on the wall. Prices are not listed. I made the mistake of not asking for a menu and ordered from the wall. Rather than keeping my tab open, they close your tab upon each transaction (which is annoying if you order multiple rounds throughout the night). They also add 20% gratuity automatically. I understand that Washington Ave. is a popular party area, but how is this allowed in America?! Gratuity is based on service. It's a customer's right to decide how much to give based on the service they receive. An automatic 20% tip takes all of that out of the equation. To make matters worse, my buddy asked for a water for him and his girlfriend. They don't have water on tap and only offer bottled water at $5 a water for water from Costco. Talk about a nice profit margin for the business and sticking the customer yet again! My friends said they would never return. The policies are based on management, so I will say that the bartender who took care of me was efficient and took my order quickly. No complaints about her. There are also bottle girls here, though they were just hanging out when I arrived since nobody was there for bottle service. Food (N/A): I'm not sure if they have food since I didn't see a menu. Either way, I had dinner prior to stopping by. Drinks (3/5): My cocktail was solid for a club. It was $15 and then the 20% gratuity on top of that. It's just tough to enjoy your drink when you're dealing with these sorts of policies. When you arrive, they ask you for your ID and frisk you. Just overall, such a bad experience from a service experience that it makes it tough to enjoy any other part of the experience.
