    If ya know, ya know. But what I didn't know about notsuoh was their third floor sound dome. You can connect to its bluetooth and play music from your phone. We spent a good hour in there jammin' out and dancing. It's unfortunate that I often forget about this local gem until I'm entertaining out-of-towners. Yes, it's very dusty and you might need allergy meds that same night, but it's an iconic Houston dive that offers a lil something for everyone: craft cocktails, live music, lounge seating, speakeasy-esque rooms, quirky art, and a lot of nostalgia.

    It's hard to explain Nostuouh. If you know, you know :) it's an art bar but sort of gives off an abandoned antique store vibe. Lots to see and you can easily spend hours here. The drinks are delicious and then you have floors and many rooms to explore. They have a sky dome upstairs that looked super cool but there were people in there on a date, so we didn't want to intrude. We got a little lost trying to get out but made it! :)

    There wasn't food, but the drinks were pretty decent. They had amazing ambiance and lots of little nooks and rooms to socialize or have more intimate moments with friends. Drinks are $12-15, there's free water cups, and service is quick and good. The decor is so frickin wacky and awesome. Feels like an antique shop in the most interesting way possible. Cool ass place.

    This is the type of place you can bring a large group of friends, pre game or just chill out vibe. There are several rooms & places to sit to chat with. Each room or place is kinda designed like a living room at grandma's. The place kinda smells like a basement but it's a cool vibe.

    Very unique place, almost like an art installation. Definitely recommend going upstairs. This is the sort of place that one could see themselves coming back with friends often and making it their own spot. Inside is very vibey, homey, and great for photos. Plenty of surprises throughout.

    They had a typical drinks with a cocktail menu. Things are a little more pricey though. In order to get onto the top floors, you have to buy a drink. The upper floors were very very cool though. There is a lot of sitting areas and private rooms from the main area. The only hard part is that there was a band playing so it was REALLY hard to hear.

    This has to be one of the most unique bars in Houston. Last time I was here was way back in 2011 when they were a hidden after hours club that you went to through the side stairway up to the 3rd floor where it look like Buffalo Bill's underground layer. Seriously, in the following years if I had the wrong thing to eat before bed, I would have nightmares about that attic! Nowadays it's a finished bar with furniture and bartenders and music and it has a lot of unique decor. You come through the front door now and if you have a drink you can go to the 2nd floor and from there to the 3rd floor attic which still kind of looks like the old nightmare days but has some cool stuff like a dome you go into and lots of little nooks and crannies.

    Ambiance: Eclectic, eccentric, artsy bar in Downtown Houston. So. Many. Crazy. Things. To. Look. At! Weird art, taxidermy exotic animals, mannequins, it's a full menagerie. There are multiple floors with different vibes. The second floor is more flapper lounge style, third floor has outdoor seating, and last floor has artists & a dome to chill in + balcony areas to view outside. This is a must visit bar in Houston for the vibes alone! Perfect for a date night, wine night, or just when you need a unique atmosphere.

    Pretty cool place! Three stories of exploring and bars up and down. Nice unique ambiance for each room you go into; staff was chill and attentive, I went on a quiet night so perfect for me. :D

    This is a cool art bar in downtown Houston, apparently combined with Clarks clothing store, kinda weird but maybe that's what they're going for. By the way, I asked an employee and he said they never do live music here. So any info or pics you see wIth live performances are old and outdated (or this employee doesn't know what he's talking about). I'd come here for the art alone. It's a mixture of sculptures and paintings, and quirky and random decor, that create this captivating space. Lots of animals, decorative lamps, creepy masks, games, and probably a lot more I didn't see upstairs (a sign said you have to preorder drinks to go upstairs, and we were done drinking for the night by the time we saw that). I think it's a weird policy to have, in order to go to upstairs, but again, this is a very unusual spot. The bartender was friendly, and drinks were good. And though there was hardly any seating when we arrived around 11pm, we snagged a couple bar seats. And when we left, prior to midnight, strangely the seats throughout the venue had opened up, while the area near the bar was more crowded with people just standing around having conversation. Overall, I like the vibe here and would definitely return if ever in Houston again, and maybe check out the upper level next time.

Ambiance (3/5): Dan Electros is located in a residential neighborhood. They have a relatively small parking lot and it was completely full on a Wednesday. We ended up parking on the street a block or two away. Initially, I wasn't too impressed. Dan Electros has a gravel parking lot. Never a fan. It gets your car dirty and your shoes dirty. When you walk in though, you're entering a dive bar with some character. It's tough to describe what that is exactly but it's something you feel. Dan Electros hosts a lot of live music and they have a small dance floor. If you're into live music, as I am, this may be the spot for you. They also have a pool table which is always a plus in my book. Service (4/5): I ordered a drink at the bar. I was greeted promptly and received my drink promptly. When I later went back to the bar to close out, I was able to do so without much effort. Solid experience overall. Food (N/A): I didn't have any food as I had dinner prior, but I don't think they have food anyway. I'm not 100% though. Drinks (4/5): For a dive bar, Dan Electros has a cool menu with some interesting cocktails and a good beer list. Even at a dive bar, it's nice when you can order more than just beers and simple cocktails. With that said, I had a beer. When in Rome.

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.

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.
