Q: What is Houston's nightlife like?

A: Houston's nightlife scene includes dance clubs, pubs, lounges and bars. Here's our list of some of the top places to go in the city. 

 

Houston comes to life after dark with sleek lounges, laid-back pubs and LED-happy clubs to keep you moving. Here is a complete list of nightlife options. Below are suggestions in specific parts of the city.

Midtown
Front Porch Pub, Cyclone Anayas for great margaritas. Howl at the Moon is a really fun dueling piano bar, and Pub Fiction is right next door. There are a lot of other bars in that area. The intersection at Bagby and Gray Streets is a good place to start.

Washington Avenue is a major nightlife hot spot in Houston!
Check out Hughes Manor (it's an expansive gastropub with a beautiful patio) the interactive Kung Fu Saloon and the low-key Liberty Station 

There are many other pubs and bars along the street, too.
