Frequented by Rice and UofH students, this two-story bar is hip, quirky, and has the best DJs. Sometimes there might be a line if there's a large crowd. I went here with friends to celebrate their graduation, I loved how their menu had a variety of cocktails or the choice of ordering classic shots at the bar. The baristas were super nice too! read more

I was denied entry because I didn't answer the bouncer's "ranch or blue cheese" question. I told him I didn't like either sauce and preferred BBQ sauce. I took the question as a joke and tried to walk into the bar, but I was quickly stopped and told I could not enter. I've been to Unicorn multiple times (I even went the night before) and have only been asked that question once--by the same bouncer--and I gave the same BBQ sauce answer and was allowed entry. I even asked one of the security officers at the front which sauce they preferred, and they said they didn't like either, which I find ironic. read more

As one of the more relaxed nightlife venues in Midtown, Unicorn Disco gets my thumbs up for being a little different from the rest. It's a cool concept, an interesting space, and usually an easy place to enjoy a drink and some conversation. The decor with the ambient lighting is most definitely on point. The retro vibe is most definitely felt from the nicely stocked and lit bar to the booths and TVs. The subtle IG friendly illuminated signage is nice, as is their spacious outdoor seating. On looks alone, they get a big thumbs up from me. Presentation is a big theme here and it's never been more evident than their drinks. From light bulb cocktails to creative signature drinks, there's always something to capture here. They also have canned drinks and bottles as well, but I always make it a point to indulge on their adult slushies. It's perfect for hot weather months and they are a lot more potent than they look. Another unintended bonus? They have a boutique bowling alley, which is so cool. It's only two lanes but it's free, fun activity that no other nightlife spot in the immediate vicinity can say they have. The service here is good overall, I've never had any issues with the bartenders. They have an online service for bottle service / private parties and they supposedly serve food here. They're open late each night and while the crowd may vary, it is a fairly unique nightlife concept throughout H-Town. read more

Got me all the way bend, charged me 45 dollars for 2 amfs MONTROSE WOULD NEVER, was boring af and drinks over priced and not even strong. Do not recommend. read more

If you're looking for a Unicorn, forget adding a third to your relationship. Barbi and I are the Unicorn. We pretty much define it. So stick that in your disco and dance it. Lovely club in Midtown, somewhat elevating the midtown scene from mediocre to pretty good, despite Heart and Washington Ave in general being far superior. We love the colours, we like some of the girls, and we come here when we can. read more

Unicorn Disco - Does this disco even exist? Is it named after the sweetcorn I used to be served in the college dining hall? - American Near Me - Houston, Texas

They didn't let me in even though I had a printout of my temporary ID. I lost my last drivers license, which was expired (and I had already ordered my new one) but I had my LEGALLY BINDING temporary ID printed out AND a picture of my old ID on my phone :/ read more

This is a new spot in Midtown. There's very little info out there but I've seen stuff on social media that made me want to try it out. First off, the staff is great. Usually places in downtown/midtown you don't get that friendly service at the door or inside. Complete opposite here. I came with my crew and they hurried us in even with the line. The staff communicates well and they escorted upstairs to the third floor where there is a bar and open air seating area. First floor has a couple of mini bowling lanes and a bar. There's a random middle floor that has seats as well. I think with the current food and beverage regulations, they had a spread of food waiting for us at our table. In order to get drinks, you scan a barcode and download an app. This allows you to check out the menu, and also open and close your tab. Once you order they know what table to come to and deliver drinks or food. Less interaction with people! Music was a great mix or today's music and crowd favorites from the past. I hope this place does well because I really like the vibes here! Side note: Make sure to push the red button in the bathrooms and thank me later! read more

Blake was awesome! Good djs on the weekend and a 2 story bar! What More can you ask for!

I came here with two gfs for a night out and I think it was still early but the vibe was not it. The drinks to me weren't good either. The drink decor and cups were super cute though. read more

Such a cute place with fun vibez. A very cute spot for hanging out with friends or a date night. Located in Midtown and kinda reminds me of a night out in Austin. This place has 2 levels. On the first floor is the bar and a few seating areas and 2 lanes bowling alley. Super cute bathroom where you can press the button to turn on the disco lights and music. Upstairs is an outdoor patio. Half covered other uncovered. The DJ is located upstairs. He was playing a variety of music from back in the early 2000's to today. There's room for dancing. Another bar with seating surrounding it. Low lit patio lights and very cute decor for photos too. I definitely recommend everyone to check this out. read more

First time here with 10+ girls. We went to the rooftop it was nice. Then ... went to shit The bartenders here lack common sense. I first asked for water and she refused. I was confused tbh. A girl came with our group and she kept drinking to a point where she was going to pass out. She was NOT listening to any of us. I asked the bartender (imbecile male with long hair) to stop serving her. His reply? "Be a good friend and take her out! You're being a bad friend." Who the heck asked you for your opinion?! I've never experienced such hostility and idiotic behavior from anyone. This person caused more distress to the situation than trying to aid in another human being's security. People are so selfish or just have a poor qualitative headspace. Silence please, bc right now your words are of no importance. I understand that in childhood or later in life someone must have invalidated you a lot so that's why you broke into a wholeeeee lecture, but there was a person who was headed to dangerous I had to help. Get a therapist. Oh and by the way, she is now missing bc you guys kept on serving her! She burned my friend with a cigg + hurt my wrist and ran the f out of the bar. I wish we never even tried so then she would've stayed at your bar, medically intoxicated, and then YOUR problem. And if the police asks, I'll let them know that this bar serves beyond intoxicated people who care barely even walk! Money hungry smh read more

Was walking upstairs with my friend and we were stopped by the bouncer who told us the place was full upstairs, so I reply ok and go tell my friend to wait for some people to leave so we can get in. A group of about 6-7 people come down and I approach to bouncer again and say "can we go up now? a big group just left" and he has this uncomfortable look on his face and gestures us to go up with an eye roll. Then when we are leaving, even larger groups of around 10 white people were going in without being stopped by the bouncer... I ask my friend if he thinks they profiled us and he tells me "I thought that too". Seemed like this man told us it was full to make us leave. He certainly didn't say it intending for us to wait- he looked uncomfortable. Very disappointed about this experience. Edit: typo. read more

THE BEST! This isn't just a nighttime spot! We hosted a daytime 36th birthday (crazy thrift shop style) bar crawl and this was our starting spot. We were nervous how people would receive us with our wigs, lots of colors, and wildness but we were welcomed with open arms. Blake, the bar tender, was a champ. He was patient with our non drinkers to make sure they felt loved at the bar too. He explained all the fun UNIQUE drinks to any questioning patrons as well. My sister's drink came in a rice box with chopsticks (see photo) -- we loved it! Since we were planning to stop 3 other spots, we had initially thought of just staying for a bit but we stayed much longer because it was such a great time. We bowled on one side of the lane too! There was all walks of life visiting the bar at this time too -- some friends dressed super casual, just laid back having a sip at the bar, some ladies all decked out looking fancy, our crazy group, a sweet couple, and even some older folks. Everyone felt "just right" there and didn't need to be anyone but themselves and that's what I think made the difference. We truly couldn't have picked a better place to start and get the vibes right for the rest of the day. We can't wait to go back! read more

My friend paid $24 for one cocktail that another bartender told him was $14...which I'm pretty sure means an employee pocketed the money. Don't want to one star an establishment in the middle of a pandemic and lots of other people are snippy about petty crap...this is absolutely a deal breaker. Would be more than happy to reveal the employee physical characteristics, but this crap needs to stop immediately of this place wants to survive. read more

Best dance place in Midtown Houston, Texas for now. They have a friendly, kind, dance vibe. Houston Diversity and all was well. If you like to dance this place is for you.. street parking was easy. Check the signs. Had a great time. The DJ is rude at times but super fun! Loved it. read more

Me and some friends tried to enter and was told we couldn't get in because we were wearing Jordans. I wasn't mad at that because some clubs have dress code, cool. BUT, as we were standing next to the establishment searching where to go next we seen a white guy with Jordans on, which probably looked better than mine , got in with no problem. They might as well just said it's because we are black lmao. How y'all racist in 2022?! Lmao crazy! I posted the same review on wonder bar cause they both gave the exact same experience when we tried to go to both bars that night. read more

NEVER EVER returning!!! I was a UD frequenter, until my group of 4 girls and 1 guy was physically assaulted here while exiting the bar. The manager Blake was completely unhelpful in apprehending the offenders and actually interfered with us obtaining police assistance. Shortly after being told to evacuate the premises, my boyfriend fell unconscious. He required a trip in an ambulance & spent the night in level I trauma at Memorial Herman. We opened at case with HPD and are very dissatisfied with the managerial staff, Blake in particular. Zero regard for customer's safety. read more

This place has a really good vibe and the bartenders Paige and Blake are both really great. Super friendly and will take care of you.

Tried to rip off a friend trying to charge them for shots at the price of a mixed drink lmaoo they told them they were still charging her when they were asked for a refund.. even as the shots weren't taken.... full of clownery really! The management is even less help. Terrible with handling themselves and trying to over charge people that they think aren't aware of themselves. They thought they were too drunk to notice they were being charged $100 for 5 shots lmaoo people are crazy. Business is bad and management needs to put the customer first.. and stuff over charging .. there's better places that treat you like a human being and not just a bank account ! read more

Been here before had a great time but my most recent visit had me rethinking came to start the night and ordered green tea shots and was served straight lime juice and when I complained the bartender refused to listen and didn't even bother to try the shots even though they smelled like straight lime juice as a bartender I'm disgusted to be charged $75 for shots of lime juice. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. One bartender put my friends card on file supposedly and then she got charged for drinks and food when there was a separate tab running for our drinks (which my brother was paying for). My brother was also charged for food and drinks and the staff treated us as if we were out of control because we wanted them to correct the mistake they made! There was a girl bartender that came to my table asking if we knew "that guy at the bar" as if she hadn't seen us laughing with my brother the entire time. We were pretty much the only group there other than a few stragglers. As we were trying to explain there should be two separate tabs and he should not be getting charged for everything, she proceeds to say that my brother could have just told her that when he'd already spent about 5 minutes at the bar telling her to fix his tab. The "charming " GM decided to get in my brothers face and had security kick him out because he didn't like his volume/attitude. The music was loud, so there's no way you can talk at regular volume and be heard. My brothers girlfriend tried to remedy the situation and the GM was a complete ass to her and kicked the rest of my party out. I do not recommend for people of color. The staff have horrible attitudes towards POC and I wish we would've read the reviews before giving them our money. read more

Bouncer turned away my groups 24yr old DD for being too young, wouldn't even look at his ID. He was dressed nicely, sober, and respectful so there isn't really any other excuse other than the hiring of incompetent bouncers. He then handed the ID to one of his buddies who I assume doesn't even work there. Super unprofessional, there were cops right there if he was so sure that the person was too young. This happened the night of 9/25/2021, management should look at firing him, we were a group of 15-20 people who all left because of it. (By the way everyone else in our group got let in)!! read more

Guys! We ordered a adios mofo and as my friend drank from her straw she had a fly inside her straw or drink.it was rough and when we asked the bartender to either reimburse or make another drink and she called the bar manger to see whether it was legit. Showed him the fly and said "well we are an outside bar what do you expect" damn he was so rude. After giving us hate for wanting another drink because there was a FLY in the drink he said not to post this but yolo #tbt. But it's a cool bar but the manager is rude AF. Btw the drink was $20. Not worth buying a drink. I recommend going to little woodrows because it is an outside bar and they don't have flys in their drinks. read more
