Nicknamed the Garage Mahal, this is a place to see moral, political, social, satirical and just plain whimsical ideologies played-out across the bodies of automobiles re-imagined into objects of art.
Low-key local joint that has tons of beers & specializes in IPAs. Bartender has been known to shared a patron's homebrew. Wish they were open daytime hours, too. Love the no-frills attitude.

Greatest theatre in town. A Christmas Carol: A ghost story of Christmas is the best version I've ever seen. Highly recommended!
Oldest operating building in Houston (http://bit.ly/a31m89). Stare at the bar carvings, put a couple bucks in the jukebox and check out the upstairs balcony (weekends only). Oh, and bring cash.
The Astros may be below average. but the ballpark alone is worth the price of admission.
They've got attitude, but they've also got great hot dogs made from all types of game meats as well as fun toppings. Great beer list too. All outdoors. [Eater 38 Member]

Love "The Rob." Have been to 90% of all the Houston Dynamo home games over the last three years. Only a few left this year and then new downtown Dynamo stadium next year. Gonna miss The Rob for sure.
If you like trendy music and fruity vodka drinks, seek your thrills elsewhere. On the other hand, if you like intimate settings, good beer selection, great live music, this is your venue
The ribs & brisket are excellent. The ranch beans and hot green bean salad are tasty with a bit of barbecue sauce added. Avoid ordering turkey - it's totally dry. Small cafe, quaint and friendly.
A step back in time. Great ambiance of a period. Wonderful salsa and chips, old fashioned burger, great fries and onion rings, very good comfort Mexican food , large portions, great prices.
If you're looking for a great steak to try on date night, try the Porterhouse for Two.

Miles of winding trails. Make sure you have a bike with tires that can handle some of the mixed terrain if you're riding your bike. Great elevation changes here and a nice view of the city.
My favorite bakery EVER. They have Abuelita hot chocolate on tap. Unbelievable! Every time I come here, I'm reminded of the motherland (except for the fact that this place is really really nice)
The atmosphere is amazing. I feel like I'm overseas! It's very intimate and has a wide variety of beverages from which to choose!
