JR's Bar & Grill
A young, trendy, urban professional crowd fills this Houston standard both for happy hour and for nights out. The pool table, dancing, and video screens make for a great time, and the airy New Orleans-style patio is a great meetup place any time of the week.

everyone there is really nice and friendly
One of My Fav's
Lots of good times here
Great friendly bar in Houston without the 'tude!
Been here many times, but get to know the bar and people who works there better when moved to Houston last July. They are great fun and nice, without the attitude you may expect at other bars! There are two bars back to back, facing a raised deck on one side and stage for karaokes on the other side. There's also a back bar with pool table (no charge!) :). Crowd a mix of guys (and some gals) of all ages, mostly whites and latinos, some asians. Some comes with attitude (usually twink WASPs) but generally most patrons are very laid back and quite friendly. This is a very good place to chill and have a nice drink with friends, both old an newly founds. The bar opens early around 3 PM daily; weekend last calls on 2 AM. Weekends tends to be quite crowded, since people hops around between here and South Beach dance club next door!
One of those bars everyone bitches about but everyone goes to
Most cities have this bar. You complain about it, but you end up there sooner or later. Like the multiple rooms, feels like Roscoe's in Chicago. Dancers are ok. Prefer to go here for drinks earlier in the night rather than end up here. And if you are up front you can see a constant stream of people coming and going. One of those one or two drink bars. Not sure why people would say it is a hole, it's a nice bar.
Snob city
Went there with a friend from out of town. He used to live here and we frequented the bar quite often in the 80's. I think the whole scene has changed But, this place has changed for the worse.
