Lucille

"The bar specializes in Texas beers, has a killer cocktail list made with local liquors and some from further out in Texas, and lots of space that includes a dog-friendly patio and full-service bars inside and out. The location is a converted house that used to be where a flapper named Lucille lived, or so legend has it." - Erin Russell

"Lucille on Rainey Street is channeling Beetlejuice this month. In addition to themed cocktails, the whole space will be full of props, photo ops, and decorations handmade by the staff. There’s also a non-spooky tiki bar on the back patio if you need a break from the Halloween horrors.  When: Oct 1-31 " - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs

"Like many other bars on Rainey Street, Lucille is inside an old remodeled bungalow, complete with dark wooden floors, hammocks out back, and a warm, home-y atmosphere across it all. There’s a second bar outside for when things get busy, and a large, dog-friendly patio where you can pet as many pups as time will allow. There’s a solid list of house cocktails, plus a daily Happy Hour that makes this a great starting point if you’re kicking things off early. " - raphael brion, nicolai mccrary

"Also on Rainey, Lucille is slightly more low-key than other places on the street, and it’s perfect for day drinking when everyone is going at their own pace after a long night. The backyard has hammocks and is usually full of dogs, so you’ll feel like you’re hanging at a friend’s house rather than the overcrowded bar this place becomes at night." - raphael brion, nicolai mccrary

"The Rainey Street bar always gets into the Halloween spirit, and this year, it’s taking on a whole American Horror Story look with intense decoration and cocktails. It runs through Wednesday, October 31. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
