Houston Live Music

The nightlife scene in Houston is dynamic enough to suit just about everybody's taste. This is especially true in the case of bars and clubs specializing in live music. If you dig that kind of show – rock, blues, jazz, country, or R&B, it doesn't matter – do yourself a favor and check out the big-name acts and local bands scheduled to play at these spots.

Houston Bars

To truly experience the bizarre, eclectic fashion of Houston, stop into Brasil and see what happens when coffee shop grooves meet martini-sipping hipsters, or check out the Cadillac Bar, which looks like a basement but is staffed by waiters wearing tuxedos. LZ Pub and Jax Grill are staples in the lives of locals, and the south-of-the-border vibes conjured by over 50 kinds of tequila at La Cuerva is just plain toxically hypnotic.
