Vibes are chill, beer selection is vast, they have some nice frozen drinks and cocktails as well. There's almost always some sort of event going on so it's a nice place to just stop by and check out if you have some time to chill. I've liked that there are random events and they can be hit or miss. Sometimes there's interesting musical guests, sometimes there are various vendors, sometimes there's a movie night. Regardless, I know I have a pretty good time and will be treated kindly by all the staff.

Not a smile nor was he friendly! Now it's $20.00 for a seat, the cover is about $10-12.00 dollars. My question is how they know who paid for seats at all! I seen people just sitting down! Then there was a drunk old man walking around harassing everyone, to the point the band had to ask him to stop and chill out! The place gives you old vintage but can be upgraded. Huge back looks scary and is too dark and so loud. One pool table, the back bar needs to be taken out! I love the ban last night but couldn't hear them sing some songs! I couldn't hear the next day! They need some serious adjustments to the loud instruments. Get rid of the mean, rude dude at front door who's taking the money! Customer service is key to success! I seen people why that establishment is not crowed. The only catering to certain customers. Not everyone is welcome.

It's a miracle that they're still able to provide high quality, free entertainment in this day and age. The booking process is a bit random - for extremely popular shows, there's a lottery, but otherwise you refresh during the ticket drop and get into a queue and can pick up to four tickets in the covered seating area (which also has huge ceiling fans. Huge plus.) or just hang out on the hill. Digital tickets are a huge upgrade where you don't have to wait at will call anymore. Seating is fantastic - plenty of walking space, seats have cupholders, and pretty much every seat has a clear view of the stage at a different angle for adults of all heights. There is difficulty in seeing ground level acts like the contortionist. (The interpretation of Da Vinci was phenomenal though, you can imagine). I always try to make it to at least one Cirque show every year and it's always a blast. Cheers to what they do here.

The Rustic qualifies as OMG! The ambiance is like an upscale Texas sports bar, so a bit rustic while nice. The breakfast sampler was a-a-a-amazing! Yes, it really is 5 small plates. Wow! The challah French toast and blackened potatoes were particularly memorable. Each dish was strongly flavored and perfectly prepared. I also got a French press coffee that underwhelmed (it was made with boiling water so it was a bit burnt flavored), but have no fear, it was replaced with a cold brew coffee that was really good. Service was TOP NOTCH with Lily being very pleasant, attentive, personable, and professional. I was impressed with her approach to make sure things met expectations. As this restaurant is planned to close at the end of the year, I recommend going there now! Enjoy. And if you see Lily, please let her know she makes a difference by making every guest feel welcome.

It is not just jazz, but there are certainly many great jazz concerts here. I have seen Thomas Helton organize a recreation of the Miles Davis Nonent. Playing The Birth of the Cool from beginning to end. That has been one of my favorite concerts I have been to in Houston. I have also seen some benefit concerts and auctions that are always great fun. The vibe here is great. There are two levels. Tables scatterd on the first floor, and a balcony on the second with more tables and a bar. Often when I come, the place is packed, and people make a seat on the stairs. Which is actually pretty comfortable. Great seats throughout, and awesome acoustics. A hidden gem in the Rice Village area, and one of my favorite places to see a show.

The kind of place where you walk in and five minutes later you're talking to strangers like you've known them since middle school. The vibe is unreal.

There is a man who shows up completely naked, every weekend, with nothing but a sock covering his genitals.

I never saw him approach men in the same way. I know at least 8 women who have stopped going to this venue because they no longer feel comfortable there. It sucks because this used to be a place where we could all feel safe and comfortable enough to dance and drink :/

As soon as you walk up the steps, it is going to smell good as hell! Nachos, jerk fries, things like that, made to order. There is a stage, there is a large bar (it has two sides to it), and some upstairs standing room to get off of the main floor. The music was good, everybody was pretty cool, even security was talking and chatting it up. It was a nice little vibe, except waiting in line to get in for as long as it took a comma I would recommend. The night that we went it was free before 11:00 or so, you got there a little before and as soon as we got to the front of line the guy cut off the free entry so that kind of sucked but that's not the end of the world. I was still suggest and recommend.
