Brazos River Bottom

This is the best bar and has the friendliest staff in all of Houston.

Thursdays - free dance lessons - lots of fun. Saturdays - packed and a lot of fun

As with most Houston/Montrose clubs, timing is everything. If you want a quiet drink and "conversation" sometimes quiet is better. If you want loud and yeehaw, Thursday evenings, Friday and Saturday night are good cowpoke nights. There are social events hosted by clubs around Houston most weekends with a different crowd at times for a nice mix. The DJs spin it Thurs - Sundays (times depend) with a good C&W mix. Other times you have to drop a dime to play music ( don't be cheap and don't forget to play some Country AND Western - Cher needs a rest once in a bit ) The bartenders are courteous, kind, helpful, friendly...but that don't make 'em boy scouts...well, except one ;) They know how to keep you hydrated, any shift (try a TANG) ... side pocket, main bar, back bar or Miss Kitty's outdoor bar. Thursday is a great dance night to learn and meet people. Fridays and Saturdays jump on the floor. Great people and staff...the guys in the parking lot will even help you find a spot too - rare in midtown-ish area.

Yes the BRB may be old, yes it may not be in the Montrose, and yes not all the clientele is young, and that is the beginning of a good thing. This is the Gayborhood equivalent of Cheers. Where the Bartenders remember you and what you drink. This bar is a comfortable place to hang-out, dance and meet new friends. The crowd is more grown-up and far more open than other clubs in the area. But don't get me wrong it is far from quiet. In fact they know how to party, Houston-style. Yes it is a gay bar but you will find gay, lesbian and straight couples there too. It's a true melting pot for the city. Houston should be proud to have a place like this, and if you haven't checked it out, you should. Don't go in with expectations of the BRB being like Dallas or Austin, go in with your eyes open and you might see the true taste of Houston. The BRB is more than just what meets the eye.....

The BRB, located on Brazos Street is just minutes away from the Pacific Street group of bars that most visitors hear of. If you miss going to the BRB then you are truly passing up a fun time. The bartenders, DJ, and the crowd is great. They have a lot of drink specials, fun events and FREE country western dance lessons every Thursday night at 8:30 and the 2nd/4th Fridays of Every Month. If you want to meet some genuine friendly folks - the BRB is the place to go.
