I could only think of 5305 reasons not to post this review, so here we are. My main takeaway from this place is 5237. Because then you're left with 69. But that goes both ways. Anyway. This is the brand new destination for Latin nightclub action on the main strip of Washington Avenue, where all the cool and sexy people go. Some of the most attractive people in the city come here, to this club, as well as Heart, and especially Bottled Blonde. This one is wildly popular, especially with a lot of the Hispanic crowd, and it's one of the loudest clubs. We like that it doesn't really have too many rules and seems a lot more enjoyable than a lot of the others. Astrid is our favorite bartender (for so many reasons), and we always go when she's there, but we also like several of the others. So many stunning and friendly employees at 5306, formerly Standard Bar. But the special shout out goes to Astrid, who's one of the most beautiful women in the world, and would have definitely won the bikini contest the other night (Barbi insisted that we go, she's the best gf ever) if she had entered it. So would Barbi, really. However all of the winners were great. Leonor, Karina and Monica came 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and they're all winners as far as we're concerned! Amazing bottle girls. This is Astrid, follow her and come and ask for her as your bottle service girl! https://www.instagram.com/theastridreverte/ Also a special shout out to the girl that does the signage out front, cuz she doesn't wonderful job with that, and it always has cool neon signs of various very appropriate messages such as Mexico or 5306 or whatever special day it is. Probably my joint fave club in Houston, and the often racist, always snobby hatred of this club just makes me love it more. read more

See all

Bar 5306, you got me (and my friends) good. Located on Washington Ave., close to many popular bars and clubs like Sugar Room, parking is not easy. There's metered parking on Washington Ave. A lot of the side streets don't allow parking Thursday through Sunday from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. unless you have a valid permit. I was trying to park around 11 p.m. on a Thursday evening, so that made things more difficult. I ultimately found free parking on a side street seven minutes away by foot, but it took a lot of effort. Ambiance (3.5/5): Bar 5306 is a Latin club on most nights it seems like. When I stopped by, there was a DJ there, but he was playing hip-hop instead. The music is loud, so this is the type of place where you go to dance. With it being a Thursday, there were only 15 people there or so. I imagine that's a different story on a Friday or Saturday night. There's a large dance floor, booths for VIP seating, table top seating, and a bar. If you want to get away from the music, there's also an outdoor patio. Which is where we hung out for the most part so we could talk. Service (1/5): This is where Bar 5306 sticks you. Upon entering, they have a list of 10 or so craft cocktails on the wall. Prices are not listed. I made the mistake of not asking for a menu and ordered from the wall. Rather than keeping my tab open, they close your tab upon each transaction (which is annoying if you order multiple rounds throughout the night). They also add 20% gratuity automatically. I understand that Washington Ave. is a popular party area, but how is this allowed in America?! Gratuity is based on service. It's a customer's right to decide how much to give based on the service they receive. An automatic 20% tip takes all of that out of the equation. To make matters worse, my buddy asked for a water for him and his girlfriend. They don't have water on tap and only offer bottled water at $5 a water for water from Costco. Talk about a nice profit margin for the business and sticking the customer yet again! My friends said they would never return. The policies are based on management, so I will say that the bartender who took care of me was efficient and took my order quickly. No complaints about her. There are also bottle girls here, though they were just hanging out when I arrived since nobody was there for bottle service. Food (N/A): I'm not sure if they have food since I didn't see a menu. Either way, I had dinner prior to stopping by. Drinks (3/5): My cocktail was solid for a club. It was $15 and then the 20% gratuity on top of that. It's just tough to enjoy your drink when you're dealing with these sorts of policies. When you arrive, they ask you for your ID and frisk you. Just overall, such a bad experience from a service experience that it makes it tough to enjoy any other part of the experience. read more

Bar 5306 - Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

Do not go here they charge patrons to urinate. We were with a group of friends and took time and spent money at the bar. My friend was denied entry to the restroom and charged by one of the security guards. The place wasn't even closed. I feel terrible that this happened she had to justify that she was a female needing to use the facilities. That made me so hurt for her and the lgbtq community having to justify her status to be able to use the restroom. I will not be going back. They got me fucked up... pardon my french. read more

Reggaeton oldies back to back! Stay there almost the entire night. Secured a table with the cheapest bottle which happened to be actually pretty good! Watermelon Ciroc but that hungover wasn't fun lol overall it was a great experience! I will say it got dumb packed by 11-12pm read more

Bar 5306 - Outside patio selfie - Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

Pretty cool - they had some great decorations up from Valentine's Day still and the fog and strobe lights do a lot for the atmosphere. It was pretty empty on the particular night that I came but on a Friday or Saturday I can see this spot being the one of the most popular spots on Washington Ave. One downside are the drinks were small and $15 ea read more

This place is absolute Trash.. Over the top loud music and a pretty terrible crowd. Constant fights and just a place that you would be better off avoiding read more

DONT GO TO THIS PLACE. THEY STEAL PHONES! My friend and I both got our phones stolen last night. We believe we were targeted. When I went to management to tell them, they were insensitive and could not care less. I was told I maybe should have kept my valuables closer. Which is odd because whom ever did this WENT INTO MY PURSE AND TOOK MY PHONE. Then today I am finding out they were telling people as they were walking in that they were stealing phones and wallets. read more

It's horrible! Monday - Wednesday they blast horrible rap and sirens when there are literally two people there. There is constant violence and over serving and what they blast on the speakers is the farthest thing from music. The dj has the most annoying voice shouting over all of the music, girls fist fight when they get out of the club and pee in the nearby yards. The only thing this place has to offer is the rare two hours of authentic Latin music that occurs around 12pm on a Sunday. Other than that, it's trash. read more

Best place to Sunday Funday, the girlies and I went early for their $100 bottle promotion and we had a gooodt time

Yesterday I went to 5306, and they tried to deny me wntry because I had a durag under my hat. They let everybody wear hats in their, why can I not wear a durag? I'm a black person with braids, I need to wear a durag to protect my hair from my hat. Racist policies like this are ridiculous. Nowhere else did anybody care that I had a durag on, and when I entered 5306 i put my durag back on just to prove that nobody in there felt threatened by me. I made sure not to spend any money with them. Go to 77 Rooftop instead. read more
