    Anderson Fair

    Never been in here, either (which is pretty sad, considering it’s even closer to my house than Rudz), but I’m told this is, along with the Mucky Duck, is one of the best, longest-lived folk clubs in Houston…

    Ashbury 60′s Bar & Java House

    Wha? A ’60s-themed coffeeshop/bar? Whoa, maaan…okay, so I haven’t been here, either, just seen the ads; I don’t even know how often they have shows, but they’ve got a couple listed at the moment…

    Avant Garden

    Man…I hadn’t realized ’til recently just how long it’s been since I swung by Avant Garden (almost since it used to be The Mausoleum, actually; I went there once or twice when it was Helios…

    This place was known for a couple of decades as Verizon Wireless Theatre, but in 2012 it changed hands and became Bayou Music Center, instead…

    Brasil

    Primarily a coffeehouse (and a fairly decent one, at that, if you can handle the arty crowd), but there’s also jazz there Tues.-Thurs., and Houston’s own DJ Sun kicks the phat vinyl on Mondays…

    Cardi’s

    Actually, this place’s been around a lot longer than I’d realized, and it’s gone through several different incarnations… Cardi’s used to be a country bar…

    Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion

    Now, this is what I think Hell must really be like. These days, all the “big” festivals and reformed ’70s rock bands play here, way the hell out of town…


    Dan Electro’s Guitar Bar

    Well, I’ve only been out here once, and it was kind of a lonely night — some ska-band friends of mine were playing, and I don’t think they appealed to much of the place’s usual crowd…

    Echo

    1515 Pease Houston, TX. 77002 713-659-2000 General Info: Never been here, but this place used to be known as The Jet Lounge ’til relatively recently (which is to say, early 2011). It’s got new management and a new name these days, and I think Gilbert from Spain Colored Orange has something to do with the [...]

    Fitzgerald’s

    One of the granddaddies of them all, this is the only large club of its kind (meaning not a dance club, blues bar or a smaller venue-club like the Satellite Lounge or Emo’s) that has survived since I’ve been here…


    Fuel Cybercafe

    120 E. Main St. Humble, TX. 77338 (281) 540-3170 “info” at “fuelcybercafe dot com”


    Garden in the Heights

    Finally made it out here recently, for the big-ass St. Patrick’s Day festival, so I figured I’d put up a bit about this place. It’s not a club, and I really don’t know what they do with it most of the time…


    Griff’s

    3416 Roseland St Houston, TX. 77006 (713) 528-9912


    Groundhall

    Well, after much back-and-forthing about the name — you’ve probably seen listings for this as both The Warsaw and Argentum — apparently the place that used to be The Engine Room is now called “Groundhall”…

    Hickory Hollow

    Okay, so I think this place is mostly a restaurant-type deal, but I know some local folks play here every once in a while, particularly country-ish/folk-ish people…

    Last Concert Café

    This is a cool little place, although I have to say I have yet to make the drive just for a show; usually, when I head up to the Last Concert, it’s ’cause I’m hungry…

    McGonigel’s Mucky Duck

    Man, this is a neat little place. It’s basically supposed to be like a nice, traditional-style Irish pub (although it’s more “Irishy” than most bars I visited…


    Millbend Coffeehouse

    Don’t know anything about this coffeehouse, except that it’s supposedly inside a church? Not sure about that, either…

    Notsuoh

    314 Main Street was built in the 1880′s and was owned by Clark and Dean’s credit department stores until it was abandoned in 1950, leaving the storefront unoccupied…
