The Big Easy
The edge of the Rice Village is an odd place for a blues bar, I’ll admit, but from what I’ve seen (and from what I’ve heard from blues-head friends), it’s a pretty darn good one…

Big Changes Afoot: Walter’s to Move Off of Washington
Holy freaking crap. Y’know, I really hate it when one’a them pesky Internet rumors pops up on the screen and makes my stomach feel like it’s dropped into my feet, and I had that exact thing happen this AM when I read that now-venerable H-town venue Walter’s on Washington is moving (or maybe closing). My […]

The Mink
You might see “The Mink” or “The Backroom” listed separately, but don’t be fooled — The Backroom’s actually where the musical acts (the non-DJ ones, at least) play, while the front area is the actual “bar” part of the building, The Mink…

The Continental Club
This place looks to be the downtown successor to the old Orchid Lounge, booking all those swing/country/rockabilly bands who aren’t mean enough to play Mary Jane’s; good thing, too…

Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion
Now, this is what I think Hell must really be like. These days, all the “big” festivals and reformed ’70s rock bands play here, way the hell out of town…

White Swan Live
Sadly, I don’t know much of anything about this place, other than its over east of downtown, where there really aren’t too many other places to see bands play…

Warehouse Live
I like this place, but honestly, it’s less because of the environment, like with The Meridian, and more because of the people they book. They’ve got some kind of tie to the bigger booking agencies in town…

So sad. This used to be known as the Velvet Elvis, back in the day…before the Estate of Elvis Presley tried to take ’em to the cleaners…

Rudyard’s British Pub
Another of the few “venerable” clubs left in Houston’s sort-of-scene, Rudyard’s is more a bar than a “venue” (as opposed to, say, The Engine Room or Fitzgerald’s…

Millbend Coffeehouse
Don’t know anything about this coffeehouse, except that it’s supposedly inside a church? Not sure about that, either…

Brasil
Primarily a coffeehouse (and a fairly decent one, at that, if you can handle the arty crowd), but there’s also jazz there Tues.-Thurs., and Houston’s own DJ Sun kicks the phat vinyl on Mondays…

Anderson Fair
Never been in here, either (which is pretty sad, considering it’s even closer to my house than Rudz), but I’m told this is, along with the Mucky Duck, is one of the best, longest-lived folk clubs in Houston…

Fitzgerald’s
One of the granddaddies of them all, this is the only large club of its kind (meaning not a dance club, blues bar or a smaller venue-club like the Satellite Lounge or Emo’s) that has survived since I’ve been here…

The Next Door Coffeehouse
Started seeing stuff about this place recently, and although I’ve never been, it sounds interesting… Seems to be mostly folk-y stuff…

Okay, so I think this place is mostly a restaurant-type deal, but I know some local folks play here every once in a while, particularly country-ish/folk-ish people…

Another one I’ve never been to, but they seem to’ve recently ramped up the number of bands playing there pretty seriously, and some of ’em (Edna’s Goldfish, Secret Sunday, etc.) ain’t bad…

Dan Electro’s Guitar Bar
Well, I’ve only been out here once, and it was kind of a lonely night — some ska-band friends of mine were playing, and I don’t think they appealed to much of the place’s usual crowd…

1008 Prairie Street Houston, TX. 77002 (713) 225-MERC General Info: Swanky jazz-bar, and that’s about all I know.

Oh yeah, and I saw […]
