I'm in Spire ... d to write this review. Not nearly as good as the 5 star reviews say. Not nearly as bad as the 1 star reviews say. As someone who has been to a lot of clubs in a lot of places, I will say that this is pretty average. Much more packed (and with some very sexy people) than a lot of clubs in more fashionable towns than Houston. Full of excitement and intensity. A little bit of a zoo, but if that's what you want, you'll love it here. On the other hand prices are awful and service can be non-existent. And considering how big it is, it should be a lot busier. They have some great DJs (we only come here for EDM) but they're way too expensive. Aoki is awesome. read more

See all

This place is for people who don't care if they catch COVID-19. I was invited for a birthday celebration. This was my first time at this establishment. I was not aware that people do not wear mask in an extremely packed club. There was absolutely no social distancing. The club was very smoked out. My cousin and I were literally the only people in there with mask on, besides the staff. There were people there trying to convince me to take my mask off. I literally came home and immediately jumped in the shower. read more

Very interesting club, the place didn't start popping until midnight. Met some cool people as well as a-holes. The music was good, and very loud. The DJ's and performers were good. Drinks are pricey!! All in all had a good time but not somewhere that I have to visit every time I come to Htown. The staff was the best, everyone we talked to was very nice. read more

Spire - Us at Spire around 11pm; the dance floor was packed an hour later. - Dance Clubs Near Me - Houston, Texas

Someone needs to contact me ASAP! I was here Saturday night after 2am and purchased bottle service. However, I was not told that they would not serve alcohol. After chasing the bottle service waitress, she told me she would give me a refund. I have disputed this with my credit card company and plan on filing fraudulent charges. This is not acceptable from any establishment. This also happened to the table next to us. I have the bottle service waitress on camera, asking me to take her phone number for next time so she didn't have to refund me. You have 24 hours to return my call or you will be hearing from my lawyer and I'll be contacting your local news outlet. read more

I've been to a fair share of clubs in my day. Spire is owned by the same people of Cle, a club that I do like, so I was expecting a similar experience at Spire. Several weeks in advance, I reserved a table by reaching out to them on Facebook. They emailed me a confirmation. Spire is located downtown in not the nicest part of town. Once I arrived, I approached the bouncer and let him know that I had a table reserved. That's when it all began. He did find me on the list and let me in but said that my group of friends would have to pay to get in. Umm...what? When I'm paying for multiple bottles and dropping close to $1,000, you better damn well be sure that my friends are going to get in for free. This is standard at any club. Another employee came up and I explained the situation. He eventually let my friends in for free but acted like he was doing me a service and mentioned that I should book tables through him next time. Leaves a sour taste in your mouth. You expect a certain level of service when you're giving a business quite a bit of money. Spire is a renovated church. Talk about a transformation. We were brought to our table which was on the second floor. After telling the waitress what I wanted, she came back with a paper bill. They automatically charge 20% gratuity which is normal for bottle service at a club. They then give you a tablet where you insert your credit card and sign the bill. However, here's where it gets shady. After they put in your card, they give you a tablet and there's a screen where you can add a tip. If you don't read your paper bill carefully, or if you're already drunk, there's a good chance you won't realize that they've already charged you 20% gratuity. As a result, it's pretty easy to give them a 35-40% tip. I didn't fall for it but be careful about this if you get bottle service here. Compared to Cle, Spire is super cramped. There isn't a lot of room in between the tables and you don't have a lot of room dedicated to your section. The dance floor was equally packed. It was so packed we had no motivation to even go downstairs to check it out. On top of that, our waitress pretty much went MIA after pouring the first couple of drinks. We had to ask for extra glasses from other waitresses. When you're making 20% off a large bill, I expect you to come by often and make sure we're doing alright. This review is already getting pretty long so I'll get off my soapbox. It's remarkable that Cle and Spire are owned by the same people as the service and the experience are a major downgrade at Spire. I won't return. read more

This is beyond that worst night club I have been to. I come up and ask to use the restroom. I'm charged for entry. Prior to being charged im told I can go get my sister and renter. I come out the restroom, walking out, the doorman says $20 for reentry. I tried to explain myself but your guard pushes me out the way. I ask for either a refund or entry into the club, I'm denied both!!!! I've contacted the authorities, better business business bureau & I will go to Google, TikTok, and yelp! I want my money back! You guys ruined my sisters birthday! read more

First and last time there. If I could give it a negative rating; that would still be too high. The layout is horrid and it's an accident waiting to happen. The staff is unprofessional. Kaskade was way over sold. I actually saw the Fire Marshall come into the venue, as I was fleeing for safety. One of the "security" amateurs working the event was over heard telling patrons, "stop acting like children", while they were attempting to exit and enter main room. I've attended multiple shows from artist such as Adventure Club, Yellow Claw, Netsky, Alison Wonderland, Deadmou5, Diplo at various venues within Houston. This "joke", should never be considered by tallant of this caliber. Stereo Live and Revention / Bayou Music Cntr by far exceed expectations and bid far better accommodations. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

Not worth it. Typical hype. Probably only because of the name they surviving barely with they head above water... bet a rebrand coming soon with no changes LOL but honestly go somewhere else where you actually will have fun... and save your money! You've been warned read more

I went to this place for my best friend's birthday, and it was a horrible experience. $30 cover, plenty of creepy guys bothering us, and hardy anyone was dancing. I will never come here again! read more

Hosts / bouncers are scammers , so aggressive and unprofessional. No wonder the place ain't the vibe. It's ghettoooooooooooo. STAY AWAY !!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I've been going here since I was 18 and I am 21 now. Out of all the clubs this one is my favorite. I've read nearly every review and have decided to finally make my own. Parking: there are multiple places to park. The earlier u arrive the better the price. 10-30 dollars depending on where u park. Entry: it's always 20$ and at midnight it goes up to 40. If there is an event I highly recommend buying tickets online because it's way cheaper and way less of a hassle. As for the reviews about pit pocketing. It has never happened to me or anyone I know. But I am also the same girl who holds onto my phone for dear life. My bf holds all my stuff and has never come across this issue. If u get caught drinking underage u will be asked to leave obviously. I have heard a lot about bartenders writing their own tips. I recommend filling in the tip line clearly or save urself and just bring cash. Cash is a better tip anyway. Drinks range $20+ I personally have never had an issue with any bouncer. They did take my fake away but he didn't rat me out. He asked for my real one and let me in. Again he prolly knew how old I was I went there all the time. I was just stupid that day. The inside is super lit. Get in the middle of the dance floor and Dance! Don't just stand by everyone! You can not experience a clubs full potential without getting in the middle of the dance floor. If u don't like someone or something. Mean mug them. They will move. And people are super friendly. Girls get invited to sections left and right and bottle girls are so nice and so pretty!! Only complain is I stay in dress code even if it isn't enforced and many girls are wearing shoes or flats. I always wear heels. I think being overdressed looks better than being underdressed. IF YOU ARE VISITING HOUSTON AND WANT TO GO LMK I WILL GLADLY SHOW U AROUND AND DANCE WITH YOU!! read more

It was a great experience per my 18 yo daughter. I reserved her a booth through the Cle group. Whom of which was very professional. We received the menu for bottle service that was reasonable. She stated the atmosphere was live and she'll go back again. Thanks for making it a great experience for a 1st time club goer. read more

$40 to get in, $15 drinks, and the entire club is composed of booths/sections only. People don't go there to dance. They just go to people watch. 80% of this club is cringy guys. You will get robbed of a good time. read more

Way overpacked even with supposed reduced capacity. Social distancing is not enforced nor is mask usage. If you don't mind contracting COVID and taking it back to your family then this is the place for you! read more

This place was the pits. Not worthy of houston nightclub moniker. The place was full of lames that didn't know how to talk to women. A couple of guys had bought bottles and thought that was enough to grab women's attention; it wasn't. We left after being overcharged for drinks. read more

This place is terribly managed and sketchy. Me and a friend came here, waited inline until we got to the front and paid $20 each to get in. As we're paying some of our other friends we were meeting called and said they just arrived. We stepped back a few feet from the register to not block the line and allow others to go in. When our friends caught up to the front register the guy we had just paid $20 was now saying we need to pay another $20 to get in. We explained to him that we already paid and had been standing in front of him this whole time while waiting for our friends. He clearly remembered us and seen us waiting but he was high in his ego and wanted to make us pay again. read more

Spire can be a hit or miss nightclub, it's usually sucks but some nights are actually a vibe.The crowd is mixed ages but mostly younger adults. The music is mostly rap all night, if you like dancing and want to break a sweat this is the nightclub to go to. The drinks are well priced, sections could cost you about $600-1500 depending on the liquor bottles you get. The club also turns into an after hour night club after 2am. I personally don't like coming here until after 2am but depending on the night and the crowd it can be a good time. Overall 5/10 read more

Stayed open, without regard for social distancing or masks during state orders to close bars, and city order to require masks! Irresponsible and unfair! read more

i'd leave no stars if i could do not come here all they want is money they charged 20 dollars parking and 20 dollars at the door to not even serve alcohol all night saying "it's a texas thing" and i live in texas knowing they serve alcohol. just trying to scam you i've never see so many underaged people and they serve water for $8 dollars and make you cashapp them $50 dollars for hookah to get under the rug. DO NOT COME HERE read more

does anyone know if you were supposed to pick up the money they threw? It was a alright club, alot of people were judgmental and kidna stuck up. Definitely for older people 25+, not really 18+ scene unless you're rich, but I am poor so it wasn't fun to pay 18$ for a water. read more

Wow, just wow. Spire is easily the worst club I have ever been to for so, so many reasons. At first I was skeptical of the negative reviews since most night clubs get poor reviews anyways and are much better than they appear on review sites like Yelp. However, that is not the case for Spire. Do not take these reviews with a grain of salt. I mean, just go and check the reviews on Google. Since I have so much to say, I'm going to break it down into sections for ease of reading and to emphasize how Spire is terrible from beginning to end. [Ticket Buying Process] My friends and I bought tickets for Kaskade. Considering that he is a popular artist, the first tier of tickets of sold out within minutes. Normally, I see tickets go up to 3 tiers. However, for Kaskade there were about 10 different price tiers starting at $40 and going up to $80. Already you can tell that Spire only cares about milking as much money they can out of its customers. [Security] What security? In light of recent events, I expected there to be some protocol to check for weapons, but nope. There was none. Considering how overpacked the venue was, I was definitely scared for my life at times. [Venue] The layout is absolutely terrible. There are two levels. The main dance area has tables all around the perimeter of the room and dance floor. If you're lucky, you can stand around the tables and stare at people's butts all night long. However, if you're luckier and make it to the dance floor, you can get pushed, squished, gets drinks spilled on you with no escape route for the entirety of the night. Oh, but if you make it to the top floor which is reserved for VIP, then you get to be away from the chaos. But jokes on you, because there is no ventilation up there! My friends and I managed to make it to the top only to find out it was super hot and humid to the point where the walls were wet. Oh, and if you're super lucky, you can stand directly in front of the stage, get a direct view of the stage, but wait! there's a disco ball blocking the artist. [Overall Experience] Looking back, I can only laugh at how terrible it was. There were so many people that I'm 100% sure it is worse than any Wal-Mart on Black Friday. When I looked at the workers who had to brave the crowd to serve the tables, I could tell they were regretting every second of being there. And they weren't the only ones. My advice to you is to don't come here, but if you must, know that as soon as you step in that building, you are putting your life and humanity at risk. read more

This place attracts the trashiest crowd in town. The atmosphere, the line up and the prices mimic Vegas parties. The atmosphere, customer service and patrons fall short of the price tag. You can hear people bickering and shouting out names of promoters at the entrance, trying to skip the queue or whatever. Do not recommend. read more

DONT GO HERE. I WAS HARASSED. They charged us $18 for one drink and added a 20% tip without our approval. I went to the bathroom without my group and had a girl corner me and touch me inappropriately. She grabbed me by force. I'm calling management in the morning. I'm 28 years old and I never had an experience like this. Spire lost it's cool. Just avoid this club. There are better clubs in downtown Houston read more

Worst experience ever. Paid $200 to see Kaskade, and couldn't even move. Apparently no dress code, super trashy Felt like I was at low class club venue. Will never go back read more

For the record, most of the bad reviews are stemming from the night Kaskade came to play at Spire. I can understand why so many people are put off by Spire, but here's my take on the club: The main club layout is probably 1/2 the size of Stereo Lives floor ground, to give you an idea (just an estimate). It's a different type of venue obviously, and not big enough for a big name DJ to play at in my opinion, unless they up ticket and bottle service prices to a hardcore extent (or a comvination of high prices and overselling like for Kaskade). Dress code seems to vary, as it's not too strict, but certainly not EDM attire (maybe, it depends on the night, though). The music and sound systems were great, and everyone had a goodnight in general. The random people we ran into at this club also seemed to be friendly in general. My only qualms were the small/tight dance floor, and the fact you will be bumping into other people all night which kind of kills the fun. Other than that, it was good and I would return again (although probably not if a big name DJ comes, unless we have bottle service). read more

Cool place I guess. $20 cover. Place is very over priced. Drinks are super watery and very expensive. Music is kind of lame. This is always the last place me and my friends go to if all of the other clubs are full. Looks nice inside though! Make sure you come already drunk because those drinks will do nothing for ya! read more

I really like this club. Cover charge varies, but the music is pretty great if you like to dance. I'm not much of a drinker, but I do like to have fun with my friends on the dance floor; so this place is perfect. Everyone dances here and only a few people stand around gawking at other people. The music varies. I heard hip hop, rap, and EDM type music. I don't think I would come here for any type of holidays or event because I have heard bad things; so I would stick to going to just the typical days. read more

A word of advice: Don't fall for it and think they will honor their reservations.. They are bunch of liers, no respect for deals at all. It was my best friend bachelor party, we did a reservation 10 days before the party, in a section in front of the DJ, once we arrived they flipped and won't let us in unless we pay a $1000 extra After waiting over 30 minutes outside, they said they'll give us a table upstairs for the same old price, we agreed to that, after an hour of waiting for the drinks to come, they flipped again and wanted us to pay extra $400 We had 4 bottles, when it reached 2 AM, they didn't even give us the chance to check what we have left of drinks and they took (I prefer stole) whole bottle of whisky Very disrespectful and un-honorable for their deal and words read more

Spire is an upscale club that is pleasing to the eye. Everything looks brand new, and I liked the set up. Like most nightclubs in this day and age, it suffers from an incurable case of " Section-itis." Too many sections strewn around the main room of the nightclub. The ground floor and the balcony is pretty much sectioned out. The area in front of the Deejay booth is decent sized dance and serves as a de facto dance floor. I went here on a Wednesday night ( July 19th, 2017), which is their Hip Hop night. All the staff I encountered were cool. The dress code reflected the Hip hop themed night, so casual and Hip Hop attire was allowed. They weren't tripping on ball caps, t-shirts, tennis shoes or anything like that. The reason I'm taking one star off of my rating is because of the PEOPLE, and not the nightclub itself. Speaking from a man's perspective, if you're single you will fall in love with the caliber of women whom attend Spire ( if the night I went is the norm). There were high caliber, top notch, fly women everywhere! And I don't even want to talk about the women whom work there. Extremely attractive bottle service girls. What I didn't like about this club is that it felt very junior high school. I'm talking about girls on one side, and boys on the other side. There was virtually no heterosexual action going on, especially on the dance floor. The Deejay kept saying, " This sh** is lit", almost as if he was trying to fool himself and the club goers into feeling that the club was lit. But In reality the dance floor was as far away from " lit" as humanly possible.I tried to be that dance floor spark numerous times. I can dance real good, and as long as I can get a cooperative female, it will get lit. All it takes is one man and one women to get it "popping" on the dance floor and next thing you know the dance floor is full of men and women getting it in. Unfortunately, the women preferred to basically sway from side to side by them self or with their girls. I recall approaching one woman whom was dancing by herself literally all night. I was like, " I've been watching you dancing by yourself all night. Come dance with me so we can do this right....breath much needed life into this situation." The woman said, " You're so sweet" as she gave me hug, but she wasn't with my plan. She wanted to continue swaying side to side and twiddling her thumbs in boredom like everyone else. This club has all the elements to be " lit", but if the clientele isn't trying to turn up, interact with the opposite sex, and abandon the junior high school mentality of boys over here and girls over there. A nightclub such as Spire is not going to be able to fulfill its potential. I have mixed feelings about Spire because I liked the set up and the women were fly, but the scene made me want to roll over and die. read more

This place is ass. I wouldn't have gone if I'd knew it was a church before a damn night club. Parking 20$ Entry fee 20$ Drinks are over priced. And I was charge three times for one round so 102.37$ And they tip themselves. Just don't do. It's not with the money read more

Wowwwwwwwwwww, my first time here & I had a blast! Music was great, the mixed cocktails at the bar were great, the bottle service to our section was spectacular. My babes & I came here on a Thursday night and partied our life away & maybe got WG wasted. Spire did not disappoint & I will definitely be back! Xono read more

DJ was horrible. I'm sitting here listening to old ass hits from the early 2000s. Just give me the laptop man you can't do it. Definitely caters to a certain group of people. Horrible service. The bartenders will ignore the hell out you. read more

Went to see Kaskade on 01.21.18 Not sure who lied to who but they definitely over sold the tickets, some of my friends who had tickets couldn't get in, so they basically got ripped of on the ticket price and couldn't get refunds. Speaking of oversold it was so packed that no one could move and people were standing in the walkways. The bouncers were aggressive and unprofessional, instead of defusing situations they made them worse when they came started shoving people telling them to get out of the way, causing people to fall down. I saw at least 2 fights due to the direct actions of club staff. If there had been any sort of emergency 80-90% of the crowd probably would have perished. Took about 30 minutes to get a drink and even then it tasted watered down/ a light pour, I can't be certain because of the number of people trying to get a drink made it impossible to see what was going on behind the bar. The only positive I can think of is that the sound system was great that we could actually enjoy the music to a small degree in the back though we couldn't see the light show. So in summary: The drinks are weak, the staff is rude and unprofessional, they'll rip you off as well as risk your life to make an extra dollar. You couldn't pay me to go there. read more

Worse place to have an event. If I could give no stars I would. All artist please choose something different! One of the worst event/clubs I have been to. Drinks extremely overpriced. 8$ for 11oz Fiji water. I hope this really resonates how horrible this is. read more

This place is honestly ridiculous. The staff is RUDE. They were RUDELY escorting people out and when I tried to use the restroom...I JUST ASKED TO USE THE RESTROOM & WAS UNABLE TOO. The man charging was extremely rude. I should have got his name. The waitresses were ALSO rude when asking to buy drinks and kept leaving when we were trying to order. Will NEVER return to this place. If I could give ZERO stars I would. Get NEW STAFF!! read more

My friends and I (18/19) visited Houston this weekend and went to Spire on Saturday night when Tay Money was performing. The club is 18+. You don't receive Xs on your hands, but they give wristbands to 21+. I don't know much about the parking scenario because we took an Uber. It was a $30 cover for us, but that could've been different than a normal Saturday night because there was a performer and we're 18+ so it might've been less for 21+. They accept card and cash at the door! The club did smell like weed so if you can't be around that, probably not the place for you. If you're scared of Covid, don't come here because there isn't really any mask wearing and you're up against a lot of people. If you want to have a good time dancing with your group, this is the place for you. The music consisted of new hip hop mixed with a few popular 2000s hip hop tracks. The DJ was really good. They have private section type things that are either roped off or have a bouncer standing by them. Also an upstairs thing as well as the actual stage where the DJs were itself. The actual dance floor was where we were and we had a blast. Would recommend this place to a younger crowd as there were many college students like us there. The bathrooms were relatively clean for it being a club too! Also, there isn't really a dress code because I saw many different levels of dressed up. I really hope this can help someone else looking for a place to party like we were! read more

Worst service ever! I had a table reserved and it took forever for the staff to get me my table. Bottle service didn't show up until two hours after I was there. The staff did not treat me right. I was dancing in my table area and was literally pushed away from the ledge and told that they were staff and had to video snoop for the club. I did not pay 600 dollars to be bullied by these people. I was literally crying. Worst experience ever. read more

Don't use your card to buy drinks! They automatically charge your card a 20% gratuity without you even telling them to add a tip. I ordered a henny and coke which was watered down and costs $13 and with the extra $2 charge for gratuity I spent $15 for a drink! Now they know that is way too damn expensive on top of paying $20 to park and $20 to get in! For a couple of hours I spent over $50! Straight taxing people! I normally go to Crystal Beach when I go to Houston but for my 38th Birthday I wanted to go there and hang with the locals and get a feel for the city and it felt very expensive. Lol! I think we will stick to the beach from here on out. The only cool thing is that after 2 am it turns into an after hours spot. read more

Will never go here again. Only been three times and had horrible experiences each time. Way way way over priced (cover fee and drinks) and all the staff (bouncers, bartenders, managers, etc.) will all treat you like trash. They think just because they work at this "popular" nightclub in Houston that they're above anyone and everyone else. Ridiculous all around, would never recommend this club for a fun night in Houston. 0/10 read more

DRESS CODE: I looked at their website prior to arriving, there were no special events or shows tonight; I arrived after dinner in a tank and shorts and was immediately turned away for those reasons. Their site does not have a dress code, so please call and plan your attire accordingly. read more
