The 19 Most Fun Bars In Houston
"Downtown’s pseudo-speakeasy Off The Record might resemble a record shop, but behind the curtain, the cocktail bar feels like a party inside a swanky record cabinet. Decked out with stacked vintage speakers, framed gold records, and shelves of old hip-hop memorabilia, Off The Record blurs the line between bar and club. The music is loud and bass-pumping, but you don’t have to yell at the person beside you. Everyone, including the bartenders, is dancing, vibing, and singing along to Al Green, The Fugees, or whatever the DJ happens to be spinning. We like to slide past the DJ booth and grab a Wu-Tang Forever cocktail with Japanese whisky and amarena cherries and chill in the upstairs lounge or snag a couch spot and people-watch." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
