La Carafe is the oldest bar in Houston and is known as one of the most haunted places in the city. This historic spot offers a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere, making it a perfect place for evening drinks. Visitors can enjoy the unique ambiance, with a 100-year-old bar top and an upstairs area where most ghost sightings have occurred. The bar has a small town feel and is famous for its haunted reputation. It only serves beer and wine, and now accepts debit and credit cards, moving away from its previous cash-only policy. The place features a lovely patio area, ideal for people-watching, and is located across from a beautiful park. It is a popular spot to unwind, especially on Saturday afternoons when the vibe is lively and friendly, with fair prices for downtown Houston. However, experiences may vary; visits on Sundays have sometimes been less enjoyable due to staff issues and a strong bleach smell, which can be off-putting. Despite this, La Carafe remains a favorite spot for many who enjoy dive bars, history, and a haunted ambiance.
