We decided to give the place another chance after how rude staff was to us but that was a huge mistake. During the drag show the performers were touching all over patrons who clearly did NOT consent to the sexual attention, some even left after being touched by them. My partner, who is autistic, went to give a performer a tip and she shoved their face into her chest. I had to calm them down, hoping it was a one off, but then the same person did it to them again the next time they were performing. It only stopped because they stood behind me for the rest of the show. We also watched as a partner in another couple got publicly ridiculed for not being okay with the physical attention. Her partner got groped in front of the whole crowd and the performer pulled her out to the center to argue about it. This place is disgusting and we will never be back.

My husband and I had a good time on Saturday and said we will be back for sure! We paid $4cash only entry fee each on Saturday night. Not bad- just make sure u have cash. The reason for reduced stars- Wait time at the bar and on floor for drinks! One round/oval bar when when u walk in, they have 3 separate parts u can order from - HOWEVER... If u open a tab with one person u cannot order drinks with another person serving in this round bar- all three are separate so I went back to the most popular loc( where everyone seems to order from) to get drinks then by the honest to god 30 min wait in line I just closed out bc I lost my buzz and was annoyed and over it. Beyond annoying and asinine that each barmaid at the same bar is treated like its own when they could clearly work together to get the line moving quicker and the bar. Idk I just know there has is so many solutions, I wonder why management hasn't addressed this, on top of hiring more floor waitresses and bar help. Still annoyed by this experience. However, we will try again, pay in cash or not leave tab open ( they keep ur card) so we can get a drink at any spot at the bar.

A multifaceted venue that is reminiscent of a club, lounge, and a speakeasy in one spot, Behind…read moreClosed Doors brings a kind of vibe that keeps the downtown Houston nightlife scene relevant. The lighting is dark, intimate, and behind every level and door, there is something else going on. There is an element of discovery in every corner and a new adventure on every floor. Ever watch the movie Tron? There are some areas of BCD that feel incredibly futuristic with neon-lit interiors and a legitimate sci-fi feel in some areas. The areas are ass follows: The main bar with a DJ and a spacious dance floor, the red room with a visualizer setup of big bass and pulsating lights, the gold room with a speakeasy feel and a curated cocktail menu, with the secret room that is a unique space behind a certain set of doors. Most of the music on the main bar is good, the DJs are energetic, and the bartenders are efficient while professional. It's not the easiest place to photograph anything, but the different (hidden) spaces make it a worthy destination for discovery. The one area that I don't love is that they rock automatic gratuity. I do love how diverse the crowd is on the weekends, which is a testament to the city. Drinks are solid, but the speakeasy drinks are the ones that stand out the most. The latter definitely comes at a price, but beware that some drinks may have all the presence but not enough of the substance. __________ My photos: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/behind-closed-doors-houston?userid=ysCBsXWPB-LAiewVS3jZfQ

Disappointed with the Music Selection at a Country Venue:…read more I want to start by acknowledging Mike from Business Customer Service for his response--it was appreciated, though not quite what I was hoping for. My girls and I enjoy a wide range of music and frequently visit hip hop, salsa, and country clubs. However, on this particular night, we intentionally chose a country club/saloon because we were in the mood to listen and dance to country music--not hip hop. If we had been looking for hip hop, there are plenty of other venues that cater to that. What was disappointing was that the music did not align with the country theme that the club advertises. From my experience and from reading other reviews, I'm clearly not the only customer who feels this way. I've visited country clubs in both California and Austin, and they stay true to their brand by playing country music exclusively. If diversification is the goal, it might be worth reconsidering how the venue is marketed because branding as a country club sets a specific expectation. A few weeks ago, a group of us visited from Austin on a Saturday and left disappointed for the same reason. We're giving it another try this Friday, hopeful that the experience will better reflect the country vibe we're looking for. If it does, I'll be more than happy to update this review with a well-deserved 5 stars.

YEEHAW! BULL RIDING, LINE DANCING, AND MORE!!! 03/03/24…read more I recently celebrated my friend's birthday here at this establishment. It was my first time visiting a country club and I must say I had the most fabulous time ever! There was country music and line dancing galore! The overall ambiance and vibe of the club was raging with excitement and pure energy. It's absolutely enormous inside and there's more than one bar available at this establishment. With all the many dancers crowding the dance floor, it's a good thing this place is humongous. However, the ironic thing about all that space is that there's extremely limited seating availability provided; that is if you have not reserved a table for a birthday party. It seemed like every table was reserved for a party because my daughter and I walked every inch of that club and could not find an available table to sit at because they were all reserved for a party. However, there were plenty of seats around the dance floor, but they were taken as well. So, my advice would be to reserve a table in advance even if you are not celebrating a birthday party. This will at least ensure that you have somewhere to sit and rest your feet after leaving the dance floor. My friend, the birthday girl, did not reserve a table for her party thinking that there would be abandoned tables in the building. Big huge mistake. Furthermore, we ordered drinks all night because the prices were inexpensive. Be prepared to leave tips for the bartender if they truly deserve the tip. As I mentioned previously, there is more than one bar in this establishment. At the bar located to the immediate right as you first enter the entrance doors, there was a blonde haired female bartender and a Latino male bartender working that particular area. Both of them were unfriendly and unwelcoming. I could literally feel the ice-cold energy flowing through their veins. My daughter and I were asking them if they had any good suggestions for us since we really didn't know what we wanted to drink. We tried placing our order with the male bartender first who would not speak up for us to understand him. We asked him what drinks were on the menu for the night and he kept repeating something that we could not understand and he kept a monotone vibe as if he didn't care for us ordering at his bar. As a result, my daughter and I turned to the female bartender in hopes that she would be a little friendlier. She wasn't any better. She acted as if she did not know what to suggest from their own drink menu. She asked us what we wanted to drink and I responded to her, "Ma'am we are asking you and the gentleman for any suggestions because we are indecisive at the moment." She kept acting like a "dumb blonde" as if she did not know what to suggest so we just asked for a lemon drop which was okay. It wasn't strong at all and watery. I left her a tip and moved along. I was not pleased at all with the way they treated us. As a result of the lackadaisical bartenders at the first bar, my daughter and I decided to move to the back of the building and visit the other bar. This bartender was on and popping! He was very entertaining, friendly, and welcoming. He also had a mini chalkboard on display that listed the featured drinks of the night. Now this is what I was asking the other two unfriendly and unwelcoming bartenders about their featured drinks on the menu because they did not have a menu on display, or even offer a menu, or even suggest that we scan a QR code to see the drinks menu. Keep in mind this was my first time and my daughter's first time visiting this place so we were kind of lost. However, the other bartender is located directly in the back. When you first enter the doors you can see him working hard mixing and shaking drinks and serving the crowd like a professional mixologist. He was down-to-earth friendly and relatable. I spent all my dollars and tip money at his bar for the rest of the night and I purchased plenty of drinks all night. If I ever return to this establishment I will never patronize the other two bartenders. They need to stay at home because they do not know how to entertain their guests properly. Overall, Whiskey River is an exciting and fun place to be on a Friday or Saturday night if you want to dance or even ride the bull. Bull riding was fun but impossible to stay on during the whole ride. You will get thrown off no matter what. From the looks of the bull, it seems as if it's designed for you not to be able to stay on. Everyone gets thrown off no matter how hard you try to stay on, but it was so much fun! The dance floor is a nice size but can get overcrowded. The food is absolutely delicious, especially the beef quesadillas. Be prepared to show your ID before entering the building. There's a bouncer at the door asking the guests to show identification before being admitted. Would have given 5 stars if it hadn't been for the two rude bartenders' sore attitudes.

(Seating for up to 10 looks like) these all may be normal charges but I was a little off put by them. We ended up getting a table, and with 7 people a lot of us were standing around. The only "free" seating area was the bar. The $150 was cumulative over the whole time we were there, with all people combined and different tabs. It seemed pretty easy to get to, with most drinks $10-15. There were a decent amount of people dancing around 12 on Saturday night, and several places to dance with good Latin music. The service was good but not great, but I can't complain too much since it got really busy. It was fun and was a good night.
