This place is such a cool spot. They offer a little something for everyone. From Mexican style food, smash burgers at BunSlut, chicken tenders and sandwiches from SideChicks, cakes and ice cream, and a little bar for beer and cocktails; this place everything you could want. Service from all establishments were friendly. Some were a little slower than others but overall a good experience. I would definitely coke back the next time I'm in H-Town

This food hall is a little oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of downtown Houston There are plenty of different food options to choose from. Each vendor has their own space. There are plenty of tables and seating in the food hall (downstairs). There are bars as well as foodie spots. Off to the side there are a few arcade games you can play if you're wanting to pass time. There are also TVs around the hall playing sporting events and other televised events. The space is dimly lit, but it has a fun atmosphere The vendors at Under ground are: - Wokker (Asian cuisine with a Texas Twist) - Birria Los Primos (birria) - Rick & Tommy's (sandwiches & fried foods) - Luv 'Em (Tres Leches) - The Daily Boba (Boba Teas and Treats) - BunSlut (burgers, fries, and shakes) Some tips: If you are having a night on the town and feel peckish, I would swing by to grab a bite to eat. We didn't stay too long, and I wish I had tried Wokker, Rick & Tommy's, or Birria. There are happy hour/daily specials at the bars. I remember one of them was $1 shots of champagne Cheers!!

Bluebonnet French 75. St. Arnold's Grand Prize (lager)

Searching for food in Downtown Houston brought us to the Underground Hall. It's a smallish place with a handful of food vendors. We tried three! To start the evening, we ordered drinks from the bar. Bluebonnet French 75 for me and St. Arnold's Grand Prize lager for the spouse. My cocktail wasn't bad but the bubbly wasn't so bubbly. I suppose it was because it was the end of the day and the champagne may have been open for quite a few hours. I'd order this again just to get a bubblier cocktail. The hubby says the lager was just "ok" and would order something else. The bar has an extensive menu so I'm sure there's something for everyone! Enjoy!

Bun Slut Sliders!
Jordan M.

Really cool spot in downtown Houston. They have a full bar with lots of beer on tap and a few different food concepts to try. I tried the sliders from Bun Slut that were very yummy and the Underground Blonde from the bar. Both were delicious! There are TVs and a few different game machines you can play. Would come back if I was in Houston again.

It's worth the drive downtown! Love these tacos. There are serval options to choose from, yet I always gravitate to the taco spot. Reasonably priced made to order tacos that are bursting with flavor. The salsa on the side proceed with caution if you don't like spice. I love spicy things, so I was in love. It added the perfect touch of heat. Be sure to go after 6pm for free Street parking and be warm of the lunch time rush.

In a town with a dearth of late night food options, Underground Food Hall is great. The parking situation is not ideal and Fannin and Prairie can be dicey at night but great selection and I've never felt overwhelmed by crowds. The drink selection and pricing is nice for the area without being overwhelmed by the party crowds misbehaving in the streets.

Fun place to hang out with several games, several food options, and great happy hour drinks. We came in before an Astros game since it is walking distance from the stadium. We enjoyed their happy hour drinks, we got some wine and some frozen cocktails. We got some Birria tacos from the taco shop in there and we are always a fan! They give you three large tacos and they're super tasty.

Primo platter
Chad W.

Rad little basement food hall in Houston. Here for work. Have to say my tacos were absolutely delicious! I got the primo platter. Now $23 for street tacos is a little pricey but it is what it is. The real only thing that left me like "What?" Is it comes with 3 Birria tacos and 2 quesitacos. Basically the same with cheese. I asked well can I just get them all with no cheese and he said No. lol. Ummmm ok. Anyway great food non the less. Friend of mine had a chicken sandwich from other vendor and said it was delicious! I would come back.

After a short run with its previous predecessor (#1), the new management has rebranded this place as Underground Hall, which is both literal and brilliant, conceptually. Nestled in the heart of downtown, they've played a small part in revitalizing this part of the city. It's become a destination for food, drink, and a vibe for all. As far as food halls go, this place is a bit on the smaller side. The basement digs give it a true underground feel, especially with the darker lighting and overall ambiance. Given the tight layout, it's remarkable they've managed to fit as much as they have in this space. Seating seems plentiful, but can be a challenge for bigger groups. There's plenty of things to do here beyond eating, which include drinks, games, and sports on TV. The lineup for food has changed a bit in the short time that they've been open, but this is the current list: Wokker, Bird Haus, Bun Slut, Luv' Em Leches, Figata Gourmet Foods, and Los Primos. Overall, I'd say they're all decent and make for a good option for anyone who's looking for a casual bite or a pseudo drunken meal. As the ambiance would suggest, I'd say this is a place for a younger crowd. I wouldn't recommend it as a kid friendly spot or a destination for older folks. Parking is a challenge in most parts of downtown, but I've been fortunate to find street parking here each time. There are always a lot of activity outside, especially with folks struggling with their mental health. I would recommend that folks come visit here while there's still daylight before settling in for the evening. __________ (#1) Which supposedly was the "first ever" food hall in Houston.

Custom made, arguably the best Smashburger (my top 5) in Houston.

Picture this. For my birthday, I was taken on a carriage ride of downtown to receive a street level slowed down view of every street because during the day, it's a maze. I'd been in the tunnels before but what I was searching for was, you guessed it, my cult favorite food truck fantasyland--the hidden gem open air version of Bunslut inside Underground Hall, minus the truck. From the street view, parking will cost you at least $20 on the weekend, to partake in an $8 delight. After the carriage ride, I offered to pay for dinner because this one's on me. While he was still confused (a local Houstonian) because it's my birthday and we've passed up all the spots that would hurt your pockets and your feet (here's why I said wear your sneaks) we crossed the street and then went down a few short flights of stairs below street level. The restaurants in this tucked away food court are nothing fancy but the crowd is amazingly diverse and it feels like you're someplace you shouldn't know about but do and you're better for it! Nobody looks like you and nobody's looking at you. It's a vibe like being on your first high school date and on everyone else's too. They did not accept cash. But you can prob afford to eat at all six spots to try them out. The entrance/exit has a variety cakes and desserts almost an afterthought and gives you the feeling of checking out of the bates motel. You don't really notice the cakes going in but you do on your way out. Maybe it's the bell on the door or the something for the road feeling because immediately on the other side of the door there's sensory overload of things going on. For a few bucks though, you've got dinner and takeout and a place to take your picky friends (or teens). There is something for everyone. Family friendly and budget friendly. I woke up the next morning feeling like it was all a dream. But my son said, thanks for the takeout...whatever that place was, the (slutty) sauce is amazing. And this is how we began our burger hunt all over Houston to surpass Bunslut. We've been to every location many times, this one being the first and fave! Fun fact: this location replaced Hotline Burger in UH, which I discovered later, dethroning Bunslut for me. I've covered Hotline before and will again.

Underground Hall is so cool. Think food court (but way better than the mall) and bar. They had Birria tacos, smash burgers, Asian fusion and more. The bar is great too. Really great priced drinks. Lots of taps with local craft options and awesome cocktails.

This place is cool. I'm giving four stars because it has a younger feel to it so would be good with a group of friends. Plenty of options, TVs and some games to play. It kinda reminds me of a college mess hall vibe but not.. if you know what I mean. I had bun slut which I already knew was good but I'd go again to try the birria or noodle spot. It's worth checking out but it's not a top thing to do in Houston. For me anyways.

Birria tacos
Shirin L.

We found this place while walking around in downtown. It's a taco place located underground along with a few other restaurants. Their birria tacos were really good. They serve them fresh and hot and give you enough salsa and birria broth. It isn't super spice but had enough flavors. The lady behind the counter was really nice and helps you if you have any questions about their menu. The place is big enough with a few random tables around.

Great bar Met some…read morefriends here after dinner. They were packed and boomin when we arrived. Dj set up right behind us and got the night started right. Even though the place was completely full, the service was still quick and really good. They brought out more chairs to accommodate our growing party and we never had to wait long for drinks. After about an hour, we slid through the back door and into the speakeasy. This portion of the bar was equally impressive and had the same high end vibe. More great service, more great drinks.

First, the vibe. It is warm, stylish, and very Montrose in the best way. It feels elevated but still relaxed enough to just sit, talk, and enjoy your time without feeling rushed. We came during happy hour and it was such a great deal. I ordered the Sweet Like Peach Tree, which was light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced with the peach and ginger. My husband got the Frozen Paloma and it was just as good, super smooth with the right citrus bite. We also shared the churros and they were honestly a must order. Warm, crispy, and paired with Nutella and caramel. What really made the experience stand out though was our bartender, Manny. He was incredibly welcoming from the moment we sat down, had such a great personality, and made the whole experience feel personal. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and that kind of service is hard to find. He also told us about their upcoming two year anniversary party on May 3rd with rotating live DJs, which sounds like it will be such a fun time. We will definitely be back. Between the drinks, the atmosphere, and the service, this place really gets it right.

It's a little small inside and a small parking lot, but if you're lucky and can walk there, do! The quality of the drinks are really excellent and the burgers have been voted some of the best in town! I can't speak for them, but the drinks and the spot, are phenomenal. They have bingo nights, dj nights, and other themed events that keep the place packed out. Maybe once I try the burgers, it'll be 5 stars, but the smallll parking lot and lack of safe street parking keep me at 4.
