As the fourth largest metropolitan area in the United
States, Houston's nightlife is as expected - huge. The
theater district in Houston is second only to New York
City's and there are over 11 thousand restaurants,
bars and night clubs.

Because Houston is so large, there are quality spots
to go to in almost every major neighborhood in the
city. This makes traveling from spot to spot a bit of
a chore, but it also makes Houston a fun place to
explore.
Downtown Houston has the most bars, clubs and music
venues - most of them with sleek decor catered to
patrons with sophisticated tastes. Next door in
Midtown you can also find bars with live music. A bit
more casual than Downtown's swanky jazz and blues
joints, Midtown clubs offer everything from authentic
country western to experimental independent groups.
The neighborhood around Montrose Blvd. is one of the
most eclectic and happening spots in Houston.
Nightlife here features a wide array of live music,
trendy bars, gay dance clubs and casual pubs.
The Heights Blvd. area has funky clubs and dive bars
that are great places for happy hour.
