I went for the first time with some friends who have been going there for many years. I had never…read morebeen to a blues club before, it was a lot of fun, you go to the bar to get your own drinks. They do not have food, we actually brought pizza in Side from Domino's next-door. We got there early so parking was easy. It's a small place, but there was plenty of seating and two pool tables. People were dancing and having a wonderful time. The band was a lot of fun as well. I would definitely go back. It was $10 cash cover charge on Friday night.

This is a nice no-fuss, old fashioned live music venue that specializes in Blues and because it's a…read moresmall venue, you really get in up close and personal with the performers. There is a cover charge of $10 for most of the performances but if you check out their website and the calendar, some of the shows are free also. The crowd is mixed but as would be expected with the genre of music, it's older - I would guess the average age of the crowd on the night I was there was 50-60 but they were getting down and having a good time so that's the important part! Parking kind of sucks here so I would suggest coming in early and if you find something in the parking lot or by the mechanic shop, back your car in because people will likely park behind you and it'll be pretty tight getting out later. There is also street parking around the neighborhoods but check the signs to make sure you don't need a permit.

At first the service wasn't great but I can attribute that to staff turnover over time and them being very busy at the time. By the time we were ready to order they were happy to serve us. They also offered some local THC products life prerolls and brownies. The food pictured Feb my husband and I for two meals; great portions! During the time we were there, children were filtering in and out from the upstairs area. We learned that they were performing a school of rock showcase! How cool. They were upstairs so we could just barely hear but overheard some students p jamming out! We highly recommend this sports bar

Anyways, this is a dive bar located on Waugh next to Al's Quick Stop. Parking was available in a small lot across the street. The bar itself was definitely fairly dated; you ordered at the bar and staff brought food to you. They had a bar menu and a pizza menu; we got a steak finger basket and two Detroit style pizzas. The steak fingers were alright... not much meat, a lot of breading. The waffle fries were crispy. The gravy wasn't great, super buttery. The Detroit style pizzas were alright. The crust was nice and thick; but there were either too little or too much toppings. When there were too much toppings, the crust got soggy from the juice. Wasn't too impressed with what we ordered but might have to try the other items on their menu in the future.

And honey Mallory put on a show! We also got to hear a performance from Charlise, who put on a great show as well! The host was Mrs. Kollett and she is hilarious!! She is seriously talented, engaging, and welcoming. An entire vibe! She knew how to interact and work the room, a crowd pleaser if you will! Happy hour is every Wednesday and Friday from 7-8pm and every Thursday from 5:30-6:30pm. Select drinks and bites for 7 dollars each. Service was slow, but steady as the servers had several tables to attend to. Rhythm Room has a speakeasy feel, with intimate and sophisticated vibes. Perfect for date night, girls night, or whatever night you want it to be. Music lovers unite! Excited to return for more live music. Highly recommend checking this spot put!

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.

This is my first time visiting this establishment. I came for Poetry Night, hosted by Black Snow…read more The building is a rehabilitated brick building in downtown Houston. I do like the brick wall, it gives the business character. Please note this establishment does NOT currently serve food. They do have a bar but it seemed short on variety. The bartender was really slow and it took forever to get a drink when there was only 1 person in line. I have a philosophy, if you have to wait an unacceptable amount of time to get a drink, ya probably don't meet it. I found the drinks expensive for what was offered. The bartenders were from Bar Divas. I was totally underwhelmed! The business is only open Thursday through Sunday, with live music Saturday an Upon arriving I pulled into a coffee parking lot to verify the address. The attendant informed me there was a $10.00 parking fee and that it would cost more across the street. I chose to park free on the street. I despise these parking lot vultures. I am reserving my recommendation until an additional visit.

I was a walk in their is a cover fee which is normal for live performance it was $20. The host was great let me know what to sitvv v outside of reserved tables. The view is still amazing and the vibe is also. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because they have a bartender/cocktail waitress but she never stopped at the table to ask if I needed a drink only went to the reserved tables. This maybe their policy for them to only come from behind the bar for guest who reserved but their should be a way to let people know that or have a separate person to come to the other tables. Other than that everything was great. I will be back for more. Welcome back to this business Houston has missed you
