10 Best Dive Bars in Houston

“Did this place have a diff name? I think my dad visited in the 80's, maybe was a cantina back then.“

“We always have the best time playing at Dan Electro's! The vibe is electric, the staff is super friendly, and the crowd brings amazing energy every time. It’s one of those venues that just feels good to play—great sound, great people, and a true appreciation for live music. We’re always looking forward to our next showcase here!“

“Every time I go here I am welcomed with old and new friends from the past and present. Sitting around drinking buckets of beers and staring at the awesome view of downtown Houston. This Eastside hang out is a must to go to. Chat with the locals and get the feel of old Houston like it used to be!!“

“Fun place to have a drink and start the night for some east austin fun!!“

“Nice place to hang. Great bartenders.“

“This is the first time my husband and I went to this bar. The second we walked I knew that I would come back. The drinks are really good. The cocktails are delicious and the atmosphere is super chill. We didn’t get any food, but the kitchen smelled really good.“

“Where everyone knows your name…“

“This is a very chill spot for drinks with a small outdoor patio. Inside is cozy, with a cheers like vibe. Drinks are cheap. No food served inside but it is next to a columbian food truck. TouchTunes. Usually can find 1-2 chess games being played (boards are stored with the bar tenders and are behind the bar). Parking can be hard to find on weekends“

“from the warm welcome to the good bar bites , this place is always fun . bring your friends , sing some karaoke.“

“Fun club for country dancing. The parking neighborhood is declining, with homeless people and drug users, making the parking lot seem sketchy. But they have security patrolling it so it is likely safe.
.
The staff are nice and accommodating. The nights were have been, the crowd is older and not prone to causing a commotion. It's a good old school vibe.“
