This is my second time visiting this venue. It was better the first time. The music was better. They changed the name of it but its the same. I liked the atmosphere for the most part and the music wasn't bad. Parking is free and I wasn't charged a cover fee. My only issue was with my server and the prices.. I ordered a $14 drink. She said it was $17 (without explaining fees and gratuity) so I gave her a 20. She gave me $3 so i asked for the receipt and realized I was owed more change.. Then she told me they don't carry change. I asked to speak to a manager.. She left with an attitude & came back with a dollar. Everything about That encounter rubbed me the wrong way. Not to mention it was a tiny axx drink lol $17 for one weak martini is crazy. read more

Me and one of my friends attended recently to watch a fight. I had been here once before and got great service at the bar so we sat at the bar again and were waited on by Breyohn. She kept our glasses full and we had great service. They also have food and we tried their wings and fries. My friend did not enjoy them but were OK for me. They are pretty large inside with a stage in the middle of the building. Towards the back is another bar and a number of pool tables. They have a large amount of TV's through the building and behind the bar.They have a DJ on the nights that we were there and on Thursday they have a twerk off. lol It is cool place for an event or just to stop in for a few drinks. read more

Don't eat the crawfish!!!!!!! HORRIBLE..... Crawfish was old and overcooked. I told the mgr and chef about the crawfish and they didn't apologize or offer to remake my food. The chef told me the crawfish was fresh . When it was time to pay my bill they tried to charge me full price and added gratuity to my bill. Never again. If you go don't eat the food. read more

SkyBox Htown - The Worse crawfish ever. Never again.!!!! Who put limes in crawfish - Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

I was there for the grand opening with Lil Boosie as a guest. The service was horrible. I purchased a section and was told to be there by 10, got there and someone else was in our section and had to get moved. Before that the girl at door who was supposed to escort us to our section was asked by the promoter if she wanted to, and she flat out told him no he can do it. We were there an hour before we were even greeted by a waiter, and even then we didn't receive our bottle until an hour before closing. I didn't order food because it took forever to get the bottle order in. I thought with new management this would be a great experience but I was very disappointed. read more

Our server was amazing and the food, drinks, and hookah were very well priced. I was about to order more when I saw a ROACH crawling from the seat into my purse. The owner or Manager (idk which he was) only offered to switch tables. Sir, I don't have an appetite anymore. We of course were still charged the full price of everything plus a 15% gratuity that we could not remove. Goes without saying I'm not coming back here read more

Good margaritas and wings music is great lots of space clean have lots of games to play also and they have the best security

This place has so much potential to be amazing, highly profitable and popular sports bar. Sadly what they lack in morals for a quick small gain will kill the business in the long run, as reviews and word of mouth get out. Tonight was my first time here with my friend, great environment amazing music very happy to be here initially. after ordering food and drinks, well over tipping and complementary to waitress on her hard work and making sure that she's well taken care of financially for the hard work that she's putting in. I am instead greeted with Low morals and lack of trust as I pay for a five dollar drink with a $20 bill and ask her just to bring $12 back (pretty amazing tip for one drink that cost $5) and The tips like that kept going on the food and all the other drinks I got before this. So after about 20 minutes goes by I have to go up and ask for the $12 that she told me she was going to come back with. Her explanation was " oh I was just going to hold onto the cash just in case you wanted to order another drink" nope that has never happened to me ever in 100+ bars. All this to say I am here to spend money be nice and cordial and overpay for good service, but I do not want to be finessed or robbed or played games with my money. This was obviously a play by the bartender to hope that I was drinking and would forget about the $12 that she could pocket at the end of the night when I left and forgot about the money. Sad to see very frustrated when I am nice complementary, and overtip time and time again and get treated with this kind of service. read more

At this point he waits til I walk past him and through the second set of doors, to then grab me and to tell me he has to pat me down! Instead of doing his job, he proceeds to lecture me on my reaction to being grabbed using hand gestures as if was ready to protect himself. There was no need for me to even allow him to search me nor continue to enter. read more

I went to eat crawfish on a late Friday night. I started with 2 lbs. The crawfish was big and they were pretty good but lacked seasoning. I could taste the spice hotness though. I had to put some seasoning in my butter. I ended with 2 more lbs. I enjoyed the crawfish for a late night spot. They should soak them though so that the flavor can sink in. read more

Casual sports bar located off of westheimer rd across the Holiday Inn Express with EXCELLENT music. Ample parking space with outdoor seating. Waitresses are very friendly, drinks are good, not too watered down. If you feel like dancing there's a dance floor that even boasts a stage complete with a pole for those who like to forget their inhibitions. Never tried the food, but companions who have can't say enough god things about it. Although it's a casual kind of spot, ladies range from casually dressed to dressed to kill...! If you're looking for a friendly relaxed sports bar, this is the place to be. read more

SkyBox Htown - Long Island ice tea to warm up a chilly evening - Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

Before this covid thing went down, I walked in at 5:45pm to grab something to eat. Ordered my food at 5:50pm, only 8 people in the bar and only 2 eating should get my food quickly right? At 6:10pm I asked the waitress why is it taking so long to cook a chicken breast? She laughed as her co-workers sat next to me enjoying their food. Finally at 6:25 I told the waitress I had to leave and that waiting 35 minutes for a chicken breast and I'm the only order in the kitchen is ridiculous. My first time here in 3 year's and it's still the same ghetto atmosphere and crowd. Management did nothing and didn't say word to me. It would be the nice if the workers worked as much as they played with their cell phone. This place about as ghetto as it gets in West Chase area. read more

Been there for like 20 minutes now and have not received any service. Waitresses has passed us by and now i had to walk to the bar to even order and then i had to SHOUT just to get someone attention. Finally standing at the bar over 5 minutes. My drinks are being made. Hopefully i can get a hookah in a timely manner wooowww then!!! Omg BTW they charge an automatic Gratuity tf i should be able to select my tip but whatever. Too damn high for there to even be a charge at the Door shit EMPTY. They don't charge at Diablo's or prospect park. And the service is better. Crowd better. Oh and PLZ UPGRADE THE DJ's that's all. read more

We came to this SHITHOLE for drinks and hookah around 6:30 tonight. When we got there, our server Reese, informed us we had gotten there at good time because they would start charging around 8. We asked why, she said because a fight was coming on. We sat there and ordered drink after drink (Hennessy), and a Hookah. Just minding our own business. Around 8:25, Reese came and said the manager was asking that everyone who came in before 8 be charged $10 per person at the table. We asked why, she said, essentially, because the manager said so. The place was pretty empty so it was clear she (the manager) was trying to use us to recoup her loss. We told Reese that we had not come for the game and would not be paying additional since we had come in well before the cut off time. After that, it was drama. The manager (a woman) proceeded to send TWO different men over to our table to THREATEN and BULLY us into paying the $10. I had to ask the 2nd guy to leave us alone SEVERAL times before he finally moved to another table with women and started hassling them. He skipped the tables with men. He also said "Well, if you don't agree, I'll just add it to your bill then anyway." Told him if he added it, I'd call police and that bill wouldn't be paid. Mind you, we had already racked up a tab that was over $100. Each time, we had asked to speak to the manager and each time the manager would just send over a new guy to harrass us. It was such a surreal experience. The men here have no respect for their female patrons. Each time the manager sent someone, we refused to pay each time, specifically because we had come in over an hour before they started charging, and secondly because we had not even known a fight was happening. On the way out, I confronted the manager, who was by the entryway and recorded the incident telling her that she was very ridiculous for trying to do that to us. And that it was essentially fraud what she was trying. The bouncer, if thats what you can even call him since he is SO small, a bearded guy who had NOTHING to do with our conversation proceeded to put his hands on me and call me a stupid bitch for recording the interaction with the manager eventhough the manager was recording it too. He yelled this at the time of his lungs and started trying to push his tiny chest out at me. I told him if he put his hands on me again he'd have a big issue on his hands. He proceeded to insult me for the next 10 minutes calling me names and telling me to "Get the fuck out" loudly over and over for all their patrons to hear. He even tried justifying why he called me a stupid bitch outkof nowhere. I have been coming here for over 2 years and have met that guy several times. NEVER have I had this treatment till this new management started a couple months ago. I am so disappointed. And the truth is, if I was a white woman, NONE of this bullying would have happened. This place just uses people of color to make money but they do not in any way respect us. Several people left over the bad treatment they received tonight. SEVERAL. So disappointed. If they couldn't afford to pay for the fight, that was on them, not on us who came in well before they started charging. So disappointed in this place. read more

The hookah guys need more practice because the flavors taste horrible. The only waitress I like is Crystal since the other young lady quit. But the service is so slow. I've had to tell the waitresses that there are tables that have been waiting for 30 minutes. The music is good and so is the boild spicy shrimp. I only go to Sky Box when I'm out of options... read more

In town for the night, wanted to catch the NCAA Finals. Saw "Sports Grill" from the street. Dropped in. Immediately knew that I made a mistake. Large place. Televisions everywhere, most were tuned to baseball (on the night of the NCAA Finals). They had a large screen over the bar that had the NCAA game projected from a very bad projector. The audio to the game that was pumped into the Sports bar was poor quality and audio was delayed from the image that was projected on the screen. And for a night of the NCAA Finals, the place was barren - except for the folks dancing on the dance floor in the middle of the Sports bar. Yes, a dance floor. With people dancing. During a basketball game. Did I mention it also is a Hookah bar? Food was edible. My draft beer clearly indicated that they did not clean their beer lines in a while, or ever. Ate and left. Watched the rest of the game from my hotel room. read more

I would give zero stars if I could PLEASE DO NOT work here ! Especially as a waitress I had 3 customers walk out after I had been working all night they made me pay back $130 another of my co workers had to pay over $400 worth of tabs of people who just left. They suggest you don't hold people's card for tabs! The new management is horrible and I strongly believe racist. They definitely show favoritism and will not listen to concerns of the workers they only say "You can't win with Americans" and laugh at you !! They expect you to pay 4% at the end of the night for other workers who barely do their job. I was not given my schedule in a timely manner they are very unorganized and they don't even treat the customers well . read more

This place is outrageous. I have been here three times. Horrible service, very slow, and the waitresses always forgets the orders. I timed it, it took them 25 minutes to get ONE dos equis. And we had to get another waitresses attention to get it just because it just got too long. Another thing that bugs me is their prices. It is unclear and they add additional charges without informing the customer, for example: a margarita is $5.. But add $2 dollars for flavor. Wth? Why can't you just say it's 7 dollars and avoid the confusion? Also... They do not have a drink menu therefore you won't know how much the drinks are until you are ready to leave. Another thing about this place... DO NOT ORDER THE HOOKAH!!! Unless of course you want to pay $30 dollars for it. Yes that's right! The Hookah is THIRTY DOLLARS. And refills is 20 bucks hahaha Lol I am not frugal at all! But I have NEVER paid 30 bucks for a hookah. Not even in cali, Arizona, or Vegas! I confronted the manager about it and she just apologized and said "we have various flavors and in New York it's 30"... Wtf I'm like in my head, we're not in New York. This is Houston! And every other hookah bar in the world has various flavors! What makes yours different? That was below average hookah for a High end price. It didn't even have a fruit head on it. anyways, that bugged me so bad. Lol And one last thing...I've talked about the horrible customer service and all the ridiculous pricing issues they still have the nerve to charge my credit card added gratuity without my permission. I didn't even find out about it until my card was already charged and was about to sign for it. They added the tip.For themselves that they clearly did not deserve. I mean don't get me wrong, I am a generous tipper, good service or bad and I was going to tip them anyway. But after that, I just went along with it and decided for myself that I will not be patronizing this business anymore. But other than that, I recommend you visit and experience it for yourself as well as write about your experience. (: read more

Went on a Friday, nice ambiance. Played variety of music including Latin/Tropical. Bartender was pleasant and restrooms were clean. My only complaint...music was too loud. And yes I know it was a Friday BUT...I could not talk with out yelling and I kept having to repeat myself 3 times for every phrase I said. It was just a little overkill on the volume. I will be back to visit though!! read more

If I could give zero stars about this place I surely would! First of all, someone tell me how tf does 1 skittles drink and 1 hookah just for myself end up being 42.81 cents? I initially wasn't paying it any attention until after I signed and was like wait, I know when I looked at the menu the hookah said 20 dollars! So I called the lil Hispanic bar tender over who served me and he tells me the hookah is 24 dollars. Okay but when I showed him the menu he was like well it's 22 because of tax. I said sir, you just told me it was 24 dollars. Then I was like okay so even if it was 24 dollars , tell me how one drink is 18 dollars? He was like well oh because of taxes. Bullshit! So he then calls the manager lady over and they're talking in Spanish in front of me and she can't even explain to me why these charges are the way they are. She says oh taxes. Okay but how are you going to tax me before the actual final total. That would have meant you taxed my drink before hand and my hookah before hand and then taxes the final charge! So all I will say,is they think you're stupid. I'm highly educated and I'm very aware that their practices are not legit. Best believe I'm disputing those charges. They can't just go around making up their own prices as they see fit. The dude smelled money and took full advantage! But then he later comes back and says oh it's the way the computer rings up! Like dude gtfoh, you sat there and entered those prices. I looked right at him! Y'all just beware. And I never ever leave reviews ever. I'm not the complaining type, but they are taking advantage of people here! I definitely will be calling BBB TODAY! AND FILLING A COMPLAINT THERE. RIGHT IS RIGHT AND WRONG IS WRONG! read more

So new management is ridiculous we been here and they still tried to charge us mind you we spent 200 already. And the Hispanic manger had an issue. No listening trying to belittle some one like tripping. I love this place the waitresses I love but that management begging for money ... unacceptable! They deserve no stars read more

Place is very spacious ... came in on a Tuesday night and it was free entry don't think it will be like that any other night. As soon as me and my sister walks in to the bar a bartender by the name of Danielle looked at us rolled her eyes and told another bartender to help us out while she flirted I mean helped out the male customers.. well excuse for me not being a guy mayb I would have gotten more service if I did. The wonderful bartender we had David was well wonderful and very attentive... Outside area is ok if u are a smoker because there is smoke everywhere. Don't put yo food on the tables because it will fall tables are very wobbly . I might come back just won't sit outside and won't get that bartender Danielle . Very rude ! read more

My waitress Ciara was amazing. I don't fault her at at all on this post. But due to me being pescatarian i didn't have any options to order anything. They ran out of everything apparently. I ordered some cheese stick that took an hour to come out , and they were cold! Idk i used to come to this place but it seriously is not the same. I won't be coming back here. read more

It was my first time here and I honestly had a very pleasant experience. The atmosphere was laid back and they had pool tables, dart boards and table tennis tables. Our waitress attended to us quickly. I had an amaretto sour which I thought was too sour and for my next drink, I had a strawberry margarita which was all sorts of AMAZING! Their lemon pepper wings were so good too!! Overall, I liked that we could go there, relax and have a good time. Definitely recommend you check it out! read more

$20 cover tonight due to some fight. I know my not even knowing which fight it is might be offensive to some, but it's also NBA playoff season. All TVs got switched to the fight once the main event started and despite me asking that at least one TV be put back on the game, they refused. We ALL paid the same $20, which more than covered whatever Sky Box paid for the pay per view. But those of us who came to enjoy the ambience while watching the game can't enjoy it on one TV? Customer Service much? read more

So this my first time visiting this bar and it will be my last. The bartenders are sorry and they hold on to your card or change until they ready to give it back to you. I ordered 6 wings, fries, and coke. Im not sure why my tab was 12.46 because she didn't give me an itemized receipt but im sure that damn can of coke was not 3.50 if so that's an ripe off. Just not an pleasant place tp visit so my people will definitely not be attending there again. read more

This is usually my place. There's never too many people, drinks are good and strong, and I have my usual waitresses and bartenders....but today was not good. This place has gone under new management and they totally disrespected us today. We ordered our drinks, hookah and food. We barely ate the food so we asked for to go boxes like anyone would. We put all of our food in the boxes, not really paying attention to the plates. Our waitress came to pick up the empty plates and our waitress innocently mentioned "hey I think one of you guys lost your lash in the bowl" NONE OF US had on any makeup or any false lashes. I looked in the bowl and was totally distraught that there was a lash strip in the bowl. I told the waitress that it definitely wasn't ours and she went to talk with the manager. The manager then sent another waitress over to say they were not going to compensate our order because we ate it all. We ABSOLUTELY DID NOT. We had just dumped everything in to go boxes. So, I asked to speak to speak to the manager directly, he then said "none of our cooks have eyelashes" I responded with neither do we, you can review every camera to see how we looked when we came in. He did not want to refund us. We eventually were compensated for that dish. I still don't understand why he didn't just immediately issue out the no charge and tried to fight it when TWO of his waitresses agreed with us. This new management is terrible! We are regulars. We know waitresses, bartenders, etc. we come here often and I can't believe how we were treated. I will not be back! The customer should never be in question with something like that. Especially when the hair was at the bottom of the bowl. We could've actually eaten it all and discovered the hair after consumption and that would've been worse! Very disappointed with this place. read more

Great night with my family, music was amazing ! He played old school , R&B, hip-hop, reggae,and naija music! Loved it! Bottle service was ok. One bottle of apple crown was 150 and it came with a free section. Hookah was 20 bucks and very smooth. Service was very slow. I loved the Suya, very spicy but flavorful. Quesadilla was delicious as well. 4 stars bc the bottle price went from 130-150 smh. I don't do business like that! Still cheap though compared to most places. read more

I visited this establishment on, November 30, 2021, for the first time. I enjoyed the scenery. However, my disappointment came when I received a notification from my card that they added a tip that I did not sign for. I gave the bar tender a cash tip, and they took it upon themselves to add a tip on my card. This is very disturbing! It is not about the amount, but the fact that they had the audacity to do so! I have my original receipt (in which I keep for any and all transactions specifically for situations like this and as a business owner myself)! They may not be use to their customers remembering, or having anything to say, or simply not caring, but I do. It is my money, and I have what I wanted as a tip! Hopefully this is a lesson that they should not ever run somebody's card, for an amount that was NOT signed for by the customer. I will reach out to the establishment as well, to discuss my concerns. I will not return to this establishment, which is sad because it is a nice place to go, but I am about principality and this is not acceptable! read more
