Came here on a Saturday night during Rodeo Houston weekend, so take the crowd level with that context in mind. Emancipation Avenue was packed in general, but having a section made entry seamless -- no waiting in the long line at the door, just walked straight in. Section pricing is pretty reasonable. Ours came with a one bottle minimum around $250, which is standard for the experience. The space itself was dark and had a good energy -- crowded but not suffocating. You could still move around and enjoy yourself. The one friction point was the women's bathroom. About a 10 minute wait for a stall, which is never fun but also not shocking for a busy Saturday night during a major event weekend. Honest take -- nothing blew me away but nothing went wrong either. It was a fine night out. I'm not rushing back, but I wouldn't talk anyone out of going either. If you're in Houston for a big weekend and want somewhere to post up with a section without breaking the bank, it gets the job done. Didn't try any food, didn't see anything on the menu tbh read more

Faces is a fun, laidback spot that's a great stop on Sunday Funday. The crowd is usually very chill and the atmosphere isn't overwhelming. The drinks are reasonably priced and strong. Waitresses typically walk around to take drink orders. I recommend checking this place out. read more

Sunday funday approved. My first time here was during a Sunday afternoon and it was packed. The bar is circular and placed in the middle. Making it ideal to walk around a loop at least once to see if there is any seating. Although busy the bartenders are very quick with drinks and stay on top of things. A round of shots want that expensive. The music is good.Since it's right across from 5051 it's the perfect place to migrate to or from. read more

Fun, inviting, and good staff. Love the different rooms and lighting. Never had the food.

If you're looking for a chill place to warehouse the game, smoke a cigar, or have a good time you've found it. Parking is a hassle in the area, so beware. It has a chill vibe and on-site DJ. I do find their drinks to slightly be pricey. A bucket or beer was $45 read more

First time visit and had a great experience. We visited in Saturday nite early and sat in the patio. I didn't drink but my guests did and says the drinks were strong. It was sparsely filled until later that nite. We'd left as it got full. I also saw they have a humidor so I will return to try them out. read more

Cute lil place to have drinks and hookah. They have a good truck out back the pork chops were good. The service was good as well. Bartenders were very observant and on top of their job. The place was very welcoming. With in door or out door options. And the Dj was great .. read more

Im so glad we stumbled upon this happening nightspot in Houston. We actually came to visit Bar5015 across the street, but we noticed the crowd at Faces so we came on over. The DJ had the crowd jumpin with old school R&B favorites (think Al B. Sure, Donnell Jones, Salt n Pepa). Everybody looked very grown; definitely not a young ratchet lounge. Classy & upscale was the vibe. I ended up meeting the owner & he made sure my friends & I got a table even though they were packed. The waitresses & bartenders were cool & funny; service was impeccable. I cant wait to come back here on my next trip to Houston. read more

Went this past Sunday and had a great time. The DJ was playing good music, the bartenders were attentive and the drinks were on point. It definitely didn't hurt that we sat at the bar. I will most definitely visit again. read more

My new favorite spot when visiting Houston. My husband and some of our friends were looking for a grown and sexy spot to enjoy Houston's night life. We stumbled across this beautiful location where we met the owners (Rick and Dee). They were both very professional and welcoming. The lounge was extremely clean, well decorated in its' modernized decor, possessed a great crowd, and their food was amazing...the fried okra was my favorite! My husband and friends couldn't have asked for more from this fabulous establishment. I highly recommend Faces Lounge... as we will be returning in the near future. read more

I love coming here with family and friends. A vibe. It can be a hit or miss sometimes but overall I like it. That short bouncer has little man syndrome though. They need to bring back the tall light skin dude on door duty because little man is very rude. It's like he always has an attitude. I haven't tried much of their food so I can't comment on that. read more

This is a fun little spot with a little bit of an older crowd which I prefer. We came early to eat and drink... it's a fun spot and gets really packed as it gets later. read more

The drinks were good. The music was good. The service was fast. I visited after a day of eating/Sunday Funday. I'm not sure if they sell food as I only went for music and drinks. I'd return! read more

Wish I could give this terrible place 0 stars. It'll probably be closed in 2 years. Awful place. Watched them let multiple women with sandals in then decided not to let my friend in because of her sandals. The sign literally said flips flops and house shoes. Very disappointed in this establishment. It was empty anyways, we left 5015 to meet someone here and it was literally empty. May as well go to 5015, Turkey Leg Hut, or 4212. They're all significantly better places that won't act weird and the body guards won't be on strange power trips. Enjoy your night out and don't come here!!! I promise you it's going to be empty anyways. Don't know what's special about this place, but there's plenty of better in lovely Houston. read more

Service is great, ambiance is great with the new remodel as well. Bottles are a lot cheaper here than other clubs and have plenty of sections. read more

The service @facesofhou is ridiculous and after waiting for over 15 minutes watching both bartenders serve one section of the whole bar the one clapped her hands at me like we were on the street because I was waving my hand asking for service read more

Mediocre I been here several times and it's always an interesting experience. I really never know what to expect service or customer wise. This place draws in some unusual people. I have seen grown men dance in groups like Chris Brown back up dancers. Also ladies with next to nothing on dancing on top of furniture. The last time I went it was super packed (at least 200 people) there were 3 bartenders and no waitresses. Needless to say you couldn't get a drink if your life depended on it. My friends invited me to their section. Mind you they waited over 2 hours for it. They received a large bottle of Hennessy but 3 microscopic cans of juice. What since does that possible make? The only perks about this place is that it free entrance and free street parking. This is another place that has potential but service has to get better. My suggestion is to hire some waitresses and bartenders that can make more than two drink at a time. I don't recommend coming here spend your money and time elsewhere. read more

Nice Vibe grown and sexy Place Youngsters was there but they carried themselves with Dignity and the Lemon pepper wings was on point

I enjoyed the crowd this establishment attracted. The music could have been but the dj somehow didn't know how to incorporate the different songs or beats to transition to other music. He switched the music totally off beat and left the patrons looking like what happened in the middle of dancing or enjoying the music. Mayne more dj training or mixing would help. read more

If I could give a negative I would! Ok what started off as a chill holiday weekend...ended up with a "I'll never return"! I came this afternoon at the opening about 4:15pm...music was okay..drinks were good. Atmosphere was okay. About 6pm I left out to go to my car. When I tried to return I was told I had to get in the line to re-enter. One of the guys tells me that I can't remember Re-enter because I had on flip flops! I politely correct him and say "baby these are $800 balenciaga sandals please don't get it twisted"! He then tells me I can't re-enter bc I have a attitude. Ok.,.so you can call me out and when I correct you it's "she has attitude!" So did you have an attitude when you said I hadn't been in there? You're rules..you're club but I will take my money and business elsewhere. #loudandwrong read more

There's nothing ultra about this lounge. Accompanied a friend for some gathering thing he was invited to. We were literally the only people in the building. All the excitement was across the street. lol. Not only was it completely dead but it took them over 30 minutes to bring our hookah. Which was terrible and sadly not even the worst part! Parking is terrible and they don't even serve food! Not even a light bar menu. Wings or something.. I will never return to this establishment. Get it together please! read more

They charge $5 for coal refills. Bar staff is a bit rude. Slow service. Same owners. They can always change the name (use to be faces is now the martini bar or whatever) but it will always be the same. We can't keep robbing our own people. It's sad. read more

What happens when you mix the hood with readily available alcohol? Unabashed ratchetness. I've been here a couple times, but always on a time limit. A minute over can lead to some unfortunate things. None that I'm willing to stick around for. Mixed, younger, decent crowd and good music. If you get there past 12 on the weekends, you'll have a hard time getting in. They get really packed, which is good if you're looking for crowd. Strong drinks and hookah all around. Pros: + No entrance free + Music + Bigger crowd past 12 + Strong drinks Cons: -Feels quainter than it looks +/- Crowd - Parking - No real drink variety Overall, it's not bad, but it feels like one of those places you should've grown out of already. If you're looking for a pitstop, Faces is the place to go. read more

Ed has turned this into a cool spot to shill big ups to him and his staff. Cool spot to chill.

After bar hopping on a Friday night with some friends the weekend of my birthday, we decided our last stop would be at Faces a.k.a. "the ghetto club" lol. I'd never been and although I'm a fan of more grown & sexy establishments, every blue moon I tend to want to kick it at a hood spot, just because. Per one of my friend's suggestions, she said it was a cool place, so I was game. In the words of Lil Boosie "we all got some ratchet in us" so there you have it! What can one expect when coming to Faces? Definitely an urban, hip hop atmosphere. We arrived around 12:45ish and it was pretty packed. The type of packed where you have to turn your body to the side at times to maneuver through the crowd. They have an outside patio area that's actually pretty nice if you want to get away from all the madness. Expect the DJ to be spinning all the ratchet cuts -Lil Boosie, Webbie, 2 Chainz, Rich Homie Quan, etc. No chill moments, so if that's what you're looking for umm, this place ain't for you boo. The downfall for me was the bar, or maybe I should say the bartenders. First off, the bar area is pretty big and you can access it from any area of the club. However the bartenders are extremely slow. OMG, I've never seen anything like it! I don't know if they were short staffed or what, but we spent an hour waiting just to get a drink! Ri "gat damn" diculous! I tried getting the attention of 2 different bar tenders but they were just all over the place. One of the guys saw me becking for him to come my way and yelled "I see you, I got you next!" but never came to take my order. When we finally got our drinks, they were way too sweet and I was highly disappointed. We only had about 30 minutes to enjoy ourselves because we had been at the bar the whole night damn near. Like really, what part of the game is THAT? The parking lot is really tight and tends to get overcrowded. They do have valet which is cool and probably your best option being that there is limited parking in the area. We left right at 2AM and it was hell getting out of the parking lot. Once I did get my car from the valet guy, I was blocked in by a party bus for about 10 minutes before the driver realized I was trying to get out. It was just way too much going on, but I guess that's expected when everybody is trying to leave out at the same time. Never again. I'm sure I would've enjoyed myself a lot better had my bar experience not been so horrible. An hour wait for a drink? That's that bulls**t and definitely killed my vibe for the night. Not sure how it is any other night of the week, but I definitely don't plan on going back on a Friday. Miss me with the foolishness at Faces. I'd rather go across the street and get my drink on at Bar 5015 instead. read more

Drug dealers! short skirts! And remember to never trust a big butt and a smile ;) You've been warned. Come straight to the bar. You will need several drinks to make it through the night. The selection in regards to the opposite sex is.......well, my friend. I will let you be the judge of that! This place is perfect for bar hopping in the area. It's free to get in (last time I was there) and its relatively small. So it's perfect for coming through, getting a quick turn up, and getting out. Sections are available. But I personally wouldn't get one here. Drinks are nice and strong here. Bartenders do not disappoint at this place. read more

The service was awesome until my husband debit card was lost by the bartender. The police wrote a report on a small tablet and the bartender had the nerve to tell us we had to wait until the lights came on so she can look for his card. Oh! She made sure we paid for our drinks. After that more and more people started to complain that their cards was stolen. Bad service read more

Faces - This is the thieving ass bartender! She gets around she use to work at Epic and Libra Lounge. Watch out - Lounges Near Me - Houston, Texas

Came here while visiting Houston and of course you have to wait in line for people to leave to go in. This place is small so not enough room to dance or walk around to observe. No dance floor! VIP even looked cramped with the non-VIP people. lol bartenders were so busy Saturday night that you felt you were being ignored and not getting your drinks. People just sitting at the bars smoking hookah and can't even get to the counter to order the drinks. This place needs a better set up. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because of the drink I FINALLY received ( it was nice and strong) and the music. I probably won't be back here when I am in town. read more

Faces - Visiting my girl in Houston. It was super packed in there. - Lounges Near Me - Houston, Texas

Soo I don't know WHAT this place is like on a "regular" day, but we ended up here on a late Friday. It's uhm.. a good time with managed expectations. You can totally have an out of the norm experience. Definitely caters to a more young, "vibrant" audience where new age rap & hip-hop dominates the sound system. The bartenders need a little help as they have a HUGE bar and not enough help. From the looks, when they did pour a drink, they poured good ones.. But you may be double fisted if you don't want to wait. Soo good times yes, regular visits, absolutely not. For the faint at heart, absolutely not. read more

Great laid back atmosphere on Sundays.

Don't waste your money. Pre-Paid for a section and waited for 2 hours and still no drinks or hookah. Stood at bar for 30 minutes and bartenders just ignore you. On to the next because they obviously aren't built for crowds. Finally got a bartenders attention and asked for water and they said "you going to have to wait for that". The one star rating was very very very very very generous. read more

This place is absolutely horrible. Waited 2.5 hours at our section and still never received our bottles or hookah. Then the manager finally showed up with bottles and the bartender gave us attitude as if we hadn't been waiting for 2.5 hours. Terrible service. The bartenders never even served my friends drinks at the bar as we waited for the bottles our section came with. Never again. Please trust me on this. Don't waste your time nor money. read more

I had a good time with the old school music and the bartender was more attentive than in previous reviews. It is a relaxing atmosphere.

Who ever the guy that was taking photos on 2/24/18, train this guy to not give out blurry photos and charge people $10 for them that is rude. You should at least think about your own quality of work it shows who you are. And as for the Hookahs keep that fog in an area close to the door of the patio so when the door is open the fog will go out side. Faces Ultra Lounge needs a dance floor. Remodeling should be on the list of upgrades. I see holes in the seating, need better bar stools seating focus on upgrades. As for Bar Tenders black pants and same color tops would let guest know who is a Bar Tender they blend in with the guest. With some upgrades I see this place being a better place. read more

After a hard week for my family, me & my cousins decided to drive across the city of Houston to this bar/lounge because we heard it had cool vibes. Parking wasn't terrible & they have Valet for $10 if you want to secure your car & give your mind relief while you are "Turning up". The newly renovated venue was nice but the bar atmosphere need a lot of work. Well drinks were way too high ($7)? The service was horrible, at one point there was more bartenders than people in the lounge. I, personally, have never been to a bar & the bartenders were lazy. The bar is the $life$ of the club! Houston is steadily growing & the location of this venue is in a prime area. read more

We Stopped in here to help a friend celebrate her birthday. I like this place. The reviews had me thinking this was not my kind of place, but it was cool. I would go back, but I will be leaving at 11:30 as that is when it gets too crowded with all types of elements. I got nervous and left around midnight. The drinks were expensive, but good. We didn't have to wait more that three minutes to get drinks, but this was before midnight. I can imagine there was a long wait after midnight due to overcrowding. The Hookah service was great. The staff kept replenishing the coals. Bottle service is ridiculously expensive, but folks seem to make a big deal out of it. It is too tight to dance in there, but that didn't stop us from trying. The restrooms were clean and spacious. Parking was a beast, but we were a block away....not too bad. read more
