Houston is said to have the greatest number of restaurant per capita, but the number of bars cant be far behind. From country joints, to upscale lounges with a view of downtown as a backdrop, Houston is sure to cater to your specific taste:
My favorite small budget drinking spots:
BYZANTIO (North Montrose), 403 West Gray @ Taft, 77019, 713-520-OUZO:
Happy Hour every day! 4-9pm $2.25 wells $2 long necks, $4 house wines (as of publication). Of Greek and Turkish inspiration, Byzantio also features belly dancing two nights a week. The key to budget travel is to plan in front. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the truth of expense and budgeting is always in the back of our mind. Planning and expending our travel budget correctly is a priority for most families. Lowering consuming and costs, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured success and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought regarding economizing money while journeying is simple: Even if your personal funds is really small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also thinking about that while traveling, whether on a funds or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel expenses!. If you stay late enough you wont be able to help dancing with the oriental Belles! Stock up on ones.
SKY BAR (South Montrose), 3400 Montrose @ Hawthorne, 77006, 713-520-9688:
Wednesday nights: Free buffet, Jazz Night, no cover before 8pm. My favorite is the blue frozen margarita, with cherry on top. The bar takes over the entire top floor of the building with two large outdoor patio/balconies with views of downtown on one of them. Patronage changes throughout the week to match their different themes from Salsa to R&B.
BERRYHILL (various locations), 3407 Montrose @Hawthorne/Suite A-8, 77006, 713-523-8226:
Specials vary with locations, but crazy fish tacos specials with mint lemonade that you could request spiced up are to die for.
MISSION BURRITOS (Heights), 1609 Durham @ Inker (close to Allen), 77007, 713-426-6634:
Great fresh food, beer and mean frozen margaritas inside or on a fanned patio.
RED CAT JAZZ CAFE (Downtown), 924 Congress @ Travis, 77002, 713-226-7870:
Twice a week, they have a free buffet with mellow jazz band. Its really casual despite the downtown location.
FRONT PORCH (West Midtown), 217 Gray @ Baldwin (Close to Bagby), 77002, 713-571-9571:
Each year, comes April, crawfish start coming their way for a great price! You will also enjoy the laid back atmosphere, the passer-bys, and get a general feel why Midtown is Houstons hot spot.
TAFIA (South Midtown), 3701 Travis @ Milam, 77002, (713) 524-6922:
Free finger food during happy hour. Its premium quality! Sweet-potatoe fries, truffle chocolateshmmm: Its worth the expensive drinks. Their virgin drinks are especially creative and tasty, like the ginger lemonade.
VALHALLA (Rice), 6100 Main St @ Sunset, 77005, (713) 348-3258:
Super cheap beer, but thats about it for this student joint. Hard to park, just beer!
SHERLOCKS PUB (various locations), 1952 W. Gray @ Driscoll (between Shepherd & Dunlavy), 77007, 713-521-1881:
Free buffet at happy hour, with live music most nights. They also have a pool table and good looking people!
CAF EXPRESS (Various locations), 1101 Uptown Park Blvd (Post Oak & 610), 77056, 713-963-9222:
4-7pm Monday through Friday get discount on house wines, and eat healthynice way to start an evening out with friends, then you can walk over to Belvedere (mingle!) or Tasting room (refined).
If you dont like my picks or just have already tried them all, please resort to these two free guides:
BARSTOOL
This guide is great help! I first got acquainted with this monthly publication in its print form back in 2007. It used to be my happy hour bible. I like to try new places all the time, and depending on the day of the week, it will help you pick a hot spot nearby (wait out rush hour traffic).
Not only is the information sorted by neighborhood, it also tags locations based on 22 characteristics: happy hour, patio, food served, beer & wine only, frozen/specialty drinks, wine list, sports bar, pool/darts, coffee, wi-fi, smoking, live music, dancing, cover, vip, valet and after hours - and in the print publication, all that info is conveniently displayed on a map!
HOUSTON PRESS
You like to live on the edge? Then you have no choice but grab a FREE weekly Houston Press (Wednesday to Tuesday cycle) at a very cool place you have already spotted, or look it up online. The print issue features a few of their favorite events, but the website is so rich, you will have to give yourself a time limit BEFORE you start looking up events.
I have my favorite good value places. However, because there is not enough time to try all of the hot spots, sometimes, one has to rely on other source of information to make the most of ones time. You can follow the prints and website recommended here, and venture out on your own. Please post your own experiences and recommendations here so we get a little feedback!
