Remember that you can't take any food inside during the performances! They can kick you out if they catch you snacking. Drinks are ok though. The only thing I dislike is panting in the underground garage. You will have to do quite a bit of walking to come up from under to enter the venue. I don't mind personally, but if your date is dolled up in heels, you may want to uber, valet park closer, or find street park in the surrounding blocks. It's a smaller stage production but they still bring companies that bring it and put on a great performance. We'll definitely be back!

A group of 4 of us visited last weekend for DL Hughley and purchased a "preferred section" table…read morethat was pricey but worth the experience as we sat right at the corner of the stage. Online you will see a ticket price and the fee, Google will tell you that if you go in person, you will not have to pay that fee but if you call, she will explain to you that the ticket price goes to the Comedian and the fee goes to the venue. We went to the 930 show that stated doors were at 9 PM. That's not really correct though because the exterior door opened around 9 PM but you're not able to go find seats l at that time and you're still in line. If you are in the beginning of the line at 9 PM, then you can wait inside the lobby, otherwise you have to wait outside which is kind of crazy. Luckily, we were in the beginning part that made it inside because one of our guests that arrived 10 minutes after the lobby opened is pregnant. She wouldn't have been able to stand in heels outside all that time and when she walked up to the line and told the older Caucasian man that her mom was in the lobby with the tickets he was adamant that she needed to go to the back of the line and wait. Very visibly pregnant she tried to re-explain that we purchased a preferred table and that we were already inside the lobby, and there was plenty of room for her and her husband to come stand with us -he still tried to stand in her way so she could not walk around the line saying " well if I let you then everyone will expect to be able to go ". This is why I had already spoken to the young gentleman that checked our tickets into the lobby and he said it would be fine for them to walk up when they arrived, so I told her to ignore the man and go ahead and come around, and she was able to walk right in. Right about 9:30 PM the doors into the theater area opened and it is first come first serve to the tables. Server took our order after a short while everything came out surprisingly quick. We had to send back the fried pickles as they were swimming in grease. I asked the server if he could just have the kitchen remake it as my prego daughter really wanted that however he said they would just come out the same way again. We tried to blot them with napkins, but as you can see in my photo that's just for me barely touching one of them and my fingers are covered in oil. Yuck! The southwest eggrolls were good just your standard run of the mill. Do not order an old-fashioned! They cut the rind instead of just using the peel, use a maraschino cherry instead luxardo ( which I can still settle for both ) BUT the basic 3 ingredient cocktail was wrong! Service was better in the beginning because we were seated before all those that had been in line- then it took a while. 18% grat included so they def need to step their game up The show itself was really good. It was with one opening Comedian and then the headliner so about 2ish hours. Very interactive the last 30 minutes and we were sitting right next to the stage! Definitely worth the extra money for preferred

The seating is comfortable with plenty of space so it never felt crowded or overwhelming. The food was surprisingly good for a comedy venue and the service stood out the most. Staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the night. The location is also a big plus since there are plenty of restaurants and things to do nearby, which makes it easy to turn your visit into a full evening out. Overall, this is a great spot to go with someone whether it is a date or just a night out with friends. I would definitely come back again.

I'd been before when it was an event space and wouldn't have ever recognized it. They have a piano and other live music in a refined setting, which Houston really needed.

Walked-in 10 PM on a Friday evening, the place did not appear busy, less than a third occupied. A hostess/sever inquired if we had a reservation, we did not, (we popped in on a whim). It was a bit of an odd interaction, almost as-if they only accept reservations? We were about to give up and just go next door, as my friend gestured at the empty seats and asked if we could sit at the bar, also only occupied by a couple. We should have taken this first impression as a sign to leave. It took over 30 minutes just to order our cocktails, only to then be told they're out of everything and can only make four of the signature cocktails. We then waited another 15+ minutes to receive our basic "essential" cocktails that were still $20-25/each. Only few other guest trickled in after us, leaving most of the bar still empty. We tried to withhold our judgment, assuming maybe there just wasn't enough staff. But the servers would stand around talking amongst themselves behind the bar or with a possible boyfriend. At this point, the other guests near by are also getting restless trying to order/closeout. A group of men gave up and finally walked out. The lack of service and quality cocktails were the greatest offenders. However, for a place trying to position itself as a luxury, hotel lobby bar-inspired experience, the vibe is just off. The large fake plants look cheap and the giant teddy bear is just weird. The only redeeming feature was the pianist. I guess I'll stick to their other concepts.

While the company has been around for several years, they've been in this location since 2023. Housed in a thoughtfully repurposed warehouse, the space is raw and full of potential for just about about any setting from weddings to art exhibitions to corporate gatherings. It reminds me of other spots I've seen in other areas of the city, but this location in The Heights makes it a prime location. There is close to 10,000 sq ft of usable space, complete with bathrooms, a waiting / welcome area, bar area, prep kitchen, high ceilings, and function rooms (changing / lounging) and is completely ADA accessible with ramps. While the Wi-Fi and ventilation are a bit on the weak side, I am pleased they're still options. As with many centrally based venues, parking may require coordination for larger attended events, though I suspect the neighboring brewery (#1) may end up taking many of the spots. The neighborhood setting definitely adds to the space's creative energy and being next to a popular BBQ place (#2) doesn't hurt either. Overall, I'm so impressed with the venue and hope to find myself coming back for other events. I have no doubt given the space's versatility, that it can really transform into just about anything.

At its core, it's a large warehouse-style venue that was transformed to host a Black Art Exhibit. Art lined the walls, each piece clearly credited to its respective artist, with live music and a DJ adding to the vibe. The sound quality was good, but the acoustics were a bit muffled since the space isn't acoustically treated for live music. That's not a knock on the venue, just a lil something I noticed. Overall, we had a great time. The patrons were all dressed artistically, and the overall atmosphere in the room was dope. I loved being surrounded by my tribe of people -THE ARTISTS.
