It was alright. My go to club is Numbers, but we came here because it was highly recommended. I’d describe the vibe as depressed early 20s. The dj did alright but every other song seemed to be a miss that they’d stick with instead of quickly fading it to something better. The drink I ordered tasted terrible so I had my half a drink then we left. There were also a lot of homeless a few streets over, so I’d discourage walking here.

I came here for a birthday, paid for entry, and shared a cocktail with a friend. About an hour after arrival, I went outside to help a friend safely get in an Uber back home. When I tried to go back inside to rejoin my group, Travis, one of the bouncers, told me I couldn’t because he thought I was “too intoxicated.” I politely told him I was sober and asked him how he had made this determination, but he refused to elaborate and simply told me, “There is no way you’re getting back inside again.” I was polite and non-argumentative, and asked him again for an explanation because I was genuinely confused. My friends came outside to advocate for me, but Travis was not receptive and humiliated me further. As I sat outside waiting for my friends, other staff came outside, conversed with him, and laughed at me while making eye contact.
Barbarellas has been my go-to for years, but tonight’s experience has changed my perspective entirely. After tonight, it was not surprising to see other reviews that also had unpleasant experiences with the bouncers.

AVOID THIS BAR. the music was nice and the themed nights seem cool. however, the staff absolutely suck. all of them are so unprofessional and unnecessarily rude. be aware that the bouncers do not care about your safety. they are absolutely on a power trip and will kick you out for reporting creepy and touchy people instead of dealing with the situation. will not be returning.

My biggest complaint was the drinks were so overpriced considering the ambiance and the type of clientele this bar serves. Music was good but it was an acquired taste at times. There's just not really anything that sets this place apart for me.

Too overpriced? You’re telling me a single well drink is $13????
Fun 80s themed dive bar to dance the night away. Love the upload stage and the customer service was fantastic.

this bar was my very favorite in all of houston for sooooo many years, until I went back for the first time in a while and I got ripped off by the bar tender. I gave him my card at the beginning of the night and when I went to close out he told me it was declined. my friend offered to pay the tab and us to send money to her, but we came back to our accounts days later to find that we were both charged. filed with the bank and they’re refusing to refund so I am out 100 bucks 🤠 it was a fun night though, probably would just recommend keeping cash on you. also, the 10 bucks was for 3 rounds of 3 drinks- keep that in mind if you’re on a budget!
