EJ's (Closed Permanently)

Out of the ordinary

Don't let first impressions get the best of you when going. Some places are indescribable, EJ's is one of those places. This reviewer has mixed emotions when it comes to this bar. It has a very eclectic group of people that frequent the place. The clientele is generally older. It has a reputation for being a hustler bar, but the times I've been, I've never seen the numerous hustlers that the bar rumours to have. There is great potential in the bar to be one of the hottest bars in Houston. Off the main street and with ample free parking all this bar needs is some modernization. It has a huge dance floor and Patio with a bar. There is a pond with Coy Fish, a deck and a aviary filled with Parakeets (last time I was there). Monday nights is an amature Go-Go boys dance contest. The stage is small and off to the side, with little seating. Amenities are: 1 pool table, a couple of pinball and video machines a crane game and a snack machine. If you're looking for a cruise bar, a twink bar or a packed dance club, this isn't the place to go, but if you're looking for something out of the ordinary with friendly people and if the mood hits, a place to dance, then you may like this bar. I have to rate it neutral, as I said, I have mixed emotions about the place. On a side note, if you're a woman, you will need to get a key from the bartender to use the bathroom. The mens room, however, it always unlocked.
