Grasshopper

Admission: $5 cover
after 10pm

Grasshopper, an Amsterdam-influenced bar, is
located at 506 Main St., between the Rice Lofts
and El Tiempo Cantina in downtown Houston. The
original architect of the Tudor revival style
building is unknown, but the building was
erected around the 1880's. The last known
renovations to the facade of the building were
in 1928. The original tenant of the building was
a barber shop. Then around 1917, a lunch counter
became the new tenants. After some time,
Barringer-Norton, fine men's clothes, moved into
the space and eventually changed its name to
Norton Ditto. Zales Jewelers moved in and took
over the building in the 1930's. The building
has been vacant since the mid 1980s. Houston's
famous architect Isaac Preminger, designer of
Spy Club and Sempers, was chosen to breathe new
life into the 120-year-old building. The owner's
have gone to great lengths to renovate the
historic building into something truly unique.
The first floor's long, flowing bar is
constructed of a granite top with a floating
glass overlay. Beautiful, antique, gold mosaic,
border artwork, dating back to 1917, is at eye
level around the entire length of the first
floor. Cozy banquettes are built along the wall
with low cocktail tables. Grasshopper will be
open for business Wednesday through Friday at 9
P.M

Rich's - Houston catapulted Houston's
alternative lifestyle from the conservative grip

this era when gay lifestyle was hidden, Rich's

new attitude and the concept that alternative
nightlife was to be celebrated and enjoyed
openly, not hidden in the darkness.
Houston's hottest gay dance bar and Texas'
premier dance palace featuring some of the best
dance DJ's in the country! The club features
Texas's largest dance floor with a floor to
ceiling video screen, outstanding sound system
and an incredible light show. On the upper

lights from the surrounding loft or enjoy
conversation with friends in either the Video
Bar or the Art Lounge where there are feature
exhibits by local artists.

Engine Room
1515 Pease St
Houston, TX 77002
(713) 654-7846
|
The Engine Room has a quaint & cozy vibe. Not
the most attractive and accommodating place. You
can miss the place as you drive up to it as the
outer appearences look like an abandoned
warehouse. Great place to see an 'unpopular'
group as this place is set up for standing room
only and does not have adequate
air-conditioning. Get ready to SWEAT!!! Other
than that, it has great acoustics. |

Hush 15625 Katy Fwy
Houston, TX 77094
(713) 330-4874
|
If you are tired of the congested clubs
downtown you should try this place. Very
spacious, a great dance floor, and absolutely
great lighting. Drinks might be slightly on the
expensive side but still cheaper than the many
overrated downtown clubs. Great staff, great
place, don't believe what others say about this
place give it a try at least twice.
