    You'd probably leave with some sort of skin rash but the place has some cool bands that roll through.

    Best bar for punk, metal and cheap beer. Best bartender too. The Houston scene now revolves around this holy place.

    This is an okay place. It's good to listen to local artists but there's not much to this place. Super small and they have no liquor.

    Is there an entry fee, and if so what's the cost?

    Most definitely around $15. Depends

    BUT, if you're in the mood for some live music from a local band, slot machines and cheap beer, this is your spot!

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.

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.

    I stopped by Dan Electros Guitar Bar on a Wednesday night. First off, before I get to it, what a…read morecool name for a bar. Let's get to it. 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 plenty of street parking around as well Venue: This place is a total vibe! They have a stage in the main area just off the bar with seating towards the back of the room and around the sides. They also have an outdoor patio that is quite large and generally has some sort of food available out there Bar: They have all the usual drinks . Their frozen ones are super strong ( and my go to with these hot Texas days upon us) Everyone here is amazing - from the staff to the bands to the people who come hang out

I don't remember them serving food while I was there, but the drinks were definitely flowing. The bartender was friendly and quick with the mixes -- no long waits at the bar, which is always a plus when the place starts getting busy. The energy really picked up once the house music got going. The DJ kept the crowd moving, and the whole space felt lively without being overwhelming. I also appreciated that they had plenty of seating, including booths for groups who wanted to sit back, catch up, and still enjoy the music. It's a solid spot whether you're there to dance or just hang out with friends.

One of the things I like most about this venue is the size. It's small enough that you can actually feel close to the artist, which makes the experience much more personal than a huge arena. I love being up close and personal with the talent, and HOB is one of those places where that's actually possible. The venue has a good concert atmosphere without feeling overwhelming, and I've always enjoyed the energy of the crowd. It's easy to see why so many artists stop here when they want a more intimate show. Overall, it's a solid venue for what I go for.

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!

I personally think even the $20 per person was expensive so I'm not sure it's something we'll attend again. We were able to pick our seats and catch the last 30 minutes of the show. The band was pretty great and very engaging with the audience. It was about 25 of us in there but it was a good show overall. It was very cold in there but I survived. The menu looked decent and the drinks were fairly priced so I opted for a mocktail. Our waitress was sweet and took care for us even though we were there for a short while. It certainly appeals to an older crowd, but it was a good time.

Very impressed by Sparkle City Disco as the opening act as they played classic disco infused by their own styles. Moon Taxi was amazing as well. They get the crowd into their shows and the energy was off the charts. As for the venue, the shows are on the second floor so be prepared to climb some steps. It has a bar and merchandise table next to the stage and there's plenty of standing room to watch the performance. Standing only from what I saw so wear your most comfortable shoes. Location is in EaDo next to a few bars and eats so it makes for an adventurous night in town. Look forward to more shows here; now they need to book some solid upcoming artists!

I've also been to a couple concerts in the big room like Miguel and most recently Masego. The bigger room is one huge space. It has two bars, one on either side of the stage. You also can go into the smaller room to get drinks in that bar as well. It has a lot less foot traffic and the bathroom in that side is typically cleaner than the main room. Drinks prices are average to what most lounges charge. $8 for a 16 oz beer can and around $15-17 for a drink. Depends on what you get. More if it's a double. You have to get there really early to have time to park and get close enough for a good view. Parking can be crazy and expensive especially if there is an Astros game or a dynamo games going on that day. Sunday there was a soccer game and it took us about 40 min to park. We looked for street parking first, which there was none. And all the lots were up charging because of the games. The one closest to this venue was charging $30! So we found one like 4 blocks away for $15. Wear some real comfortable shoes with good cushion and arch support because you will be standing the whole time. It honestly sucks being short or average height trying to fight for a view. You have to get there right when doors open in order to get close enough to have a fighting chance at having a good view. But who wants to stand for an hour before a concert starts? Doors opened at 7. By the time we got ready, found parking, waited in like and got inside it was about 8:30 and the first act had already started. I've tried to do the window thing where you stand in the middle behind too people. I was able to see for a little while but people of course jam, dance and move. So I couldn't see the whole time. I've had instances where people push past you to get closer and it makes the space tight. At least the sound is good. So even though I couldn't see the whole time, I heard the music clearly. Masego was awesome! I love his music. And I love when artists sound the same as they do when they record music. He is super talented.
