Numbers

It turned out to be a really good bar, a really good nightclub, great music, super entertaining, and best of all, a great bike. Oh, when we arrived, there was a really long line, we had to wait a long time to get in. On the weekend, you have to pay $10 per person to get in. Parking is super difficult for the park owners. But other than that, it's nice, you have a good time and you have fun. The level of partying is very good, it's excellent. I recommend going there and checking it out.

Didn’t know what to expect when I arrived but I really didn’t mean to enter a gothic pop concert as I’ve never listened to that kind of music. My friend and I stuck out like sore thumbs since we were the only two not dressed in full black. HOWEVER, the vibes were electric! We had a great time. Everyone there was super respectful of each others space and people were just vibing being themselves. I don’t think I’ll be going back but if this is your vibe, I could understand why you would!

They serve some of the best drinks in the cit. I’ve never met a strong one here I didn’t like. The atmosphere is electric, the people are always cool, and the lighting takes the whole experience up a notch. If you're a fan of the 80’s, Friday nights are a must. Classic Numbers brings that iconic 80’s vibe the club is known for, with a playlist that’ll take you back in the best way. Whether you're going for the music, the drinks, or just the scene. If you love the 80’s, you’ll have a damn good time.

The best classic night club for me so far … you will feel you’re in 60-70-80s time with the good classics 🎼

I always have a great time here. The vibes are immaculate and the music is on point. Love the Classic Numbers nights on Fridays.

Numbers was the best experience that I’ve had in my couple of weeks visiting Houston. Fridays music mix kicks ass, the lights and decorations set the perfect mood and the drinks are delicious. Shoutout to the best barkeeper in town and absolute legend of a man: 🦋Nick🦋

Really fun place! Even though the trance music was really not my scene, the crowd showed up and made it fun to dance anyway. It was never crowded to the point of uncomfortableness, just crowded to the point where you feel like you can dance and nobody's watching you. Perfect. The drink specials were good and the 2 bartenders we visited we're happy to tweak things a little for taste. Like I didn't like the mango flavoring so one of them used strawberry for me instead. The crowd felt safe. The bathrooms were clean and the girl's bathroom had a staff member helping manage the line. $10 cover was just right so I can drink a little and tip the bartenders too without breaking the bank.

I remember this place used to be a really good place to hang out. After 8 years, I decided to bring one of my friends to dance and have a good night. The worst mistake I made this night. We got in and went straight to get a drink, and this bartender was extremely rude and racist to me and my black friend. I definitely don't recommend this bar. The stuff is extremely rude. Drinks are just nasty as well. Not to mention, they still let minors in to get drunk and smoke weed and do other drugs on the side of the building, We tried to talk to the people in charge, but they didn't care and just decided to call police. I really hope this place gets shut down soon to prevent anyone else from going through what we went through.

I just want to say that it's probably the same club that I went to in 1986 maybe 1987.. everybody called it NUMBERS but the sign outside said #2 's Every single person that was in high school at that time with Cruz down lower Westheimer and it was a slow Cruz and it was just amazing people say, what are you doing on Saturday night? We are going to Cruz lower Westheimer. Just the best of Time back then. NUMBERS used to be # 2''

Apparently it had been 14 years since I came here and judging by my review 14 years ago, I was unhappy with that visit but given that Etro is closing and it was a friend's birthday, I thought it would be a perfect time to check out the place where I made a lot of my 90's memories with friends long gone, and see what's new and update the review! At first glance the club looks exactly the same as it was before for anybody who used to come here in the 90's. Again, I'm pretty sure everybody working there is still the same too but probably using larger fonts on their phones like I am. The club has always been super diverse from the young people just starting out their journey into "clubbing" to old people enjoying the music they grew up with. Hell, there was even an old lady with a walker there this time. You don't see that in the Midtown clubs. There is also a noticeable improvement on the sound system. I'm not an audiophile so I don't know the finer points of what makes things sound good but the music just sounded crisp and you can hear all the details. They also have a really good light system with laser beams and LEDs all over the place but it's not over-done. The bathrooms....yeah they're the same. nasty nasty wet floors. A few notes, as it turned out, the cover charge is now $10 instead of $5 in the old days but the door guy told me that if you guy before 10pm, it's still 5...I was there like 10 minutes too late so it would have been nice of him to forgive that extra 10 minutes alas, it is what it is and maybe in 14 years I'll actually ask around first! I kid...On the plus side, they had happy hour till 10:30 PM and drinks were like around $2? so it kind of made up for it. I'm not going to lie, I had a blast even though the AC was not keeping up with the crowd. I'll try to make it here more often now.

Honestly one of my favorite clubs. The vibe and atmosphere are everything I love. The music is pretty unique. Last time I went was for underworld and it was a nice mix of German dance music and dark goth bass dancing music. Exactly what I want sometimes. The Second floor is my favorite spot to vibe and drink.

Went on Friday for 80s night!! It was so fun! The music and lights were amazing. It filled up nicely as the night went on! Fun crowd with a range of types of people. Everyone was so kind and inviting! 18+ up club and got to take my little sis and she had a great experience! They have multiple different areas to grab a drink if you want. They had a deal for cheap well drinks until I believe 10:30pm. I got a double and it was like $3 lol Loved it. Will definitely come back when i'm in town again. Excited to see what the other nights are like!

Came here on a whim with a friend on a Friday night. We were driving by and when he saw the place insisted that we should stop for 80's night. Such an interesting crowd of people of all ages!! I'm not a huge 80's music fan, but love to dance and this was definitely a great spot for it. Bathrooms were not super clean but were honestly fine as far as club bathrooms go. Service was very quick and the bartenders were super friendly. Drinks were also pretty cheap which is always a plus. I would definitely come back.

Pro tip - embrace the 80's vibes and bring cash for the door cover. The line will move so much faster. Sometimes they even set up a cash only line when the regular line gets too long. So save yourself the time - bring cash! I have been coming to this club since the 80s. And this place just gets better and better every year. They've added lights, lasers and more smoke machines. The experience on the Dance floor feels like you are in a an immersive Las Vegas style light show AND you get to dance in the middle of it all. Come with an open mind - the crowd is very diverse - everyone is welcome. Pro-tip 2 Don't dance in a circle with your friends, while it looks great in the movies, this dance floor is too crowded for that nonsense and you'll annoy your fellow dancers and the DJ might shut you down. In the winter months - they have a coat check for a couple bucks And the club has great merch! don't forget get to buy a T-shirt to remember the night.

If you are trying to have an enjoyable night, go to any other clubs. Workers are very rude and disrespectful. Door people made rude remarks trying to be "funny" but it wasn't. Bartenders had no customer service skills and acted like making your one shot mixed drink was the most annoying thing to do on earth (it's your literal job). You have better luck enjoying your night and feeling good giving the $10 cover to the homeless man outside.

Fun as hell. Went saturday night and there was a depeche mode cover band and they preformed fantastic. Friendly bartenders and good lights. Overall fun time

It's 18+ and they have a separate cash line most of the time. It gets really lively at about midnight imo. My favorite club.

I have been going to Numbers for 4-5 years now and what can I say. Legendary space that is what it is. Is it fancy? No. Is there easily accessible parking? Also no. Is it great for my claustrophobia? No. And so? Who cares...the ambience is cool, as is much of the art and the variety of events they host is fantastic. I avoid the Oddities Market because I find the crowd density and the space overwhelming. Everything else? Fun with great drink prices.

I came across this nightclub while looking for 18+ clubs for my birthday. This was a great new experience with an amazing light show. The people do their own thing and you can do yours. The bartenders were super polite and nice. I can't say much about the drinks or food. But my sister did enjoy their 1.30 well drinks until 10:30. Overall was not let down by my experience here. Would go again for their weekly friday 80s night.

It's #s! Best Night Club in Houston...in the Universe. Great for concerts. Friday night...still the place to be. Great bar drinks, drink specials, and selection. DJ Wes is everything. Get your friends and just go. GO! Parking is tricky. DO NOT Park on Avondale. Uber or Lyft are your friend. Party on!

Where else can you hear Echo & the Bunnymen, The Cure, The Hunger, The Cult, INXS, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, New Order, Kate Bush, Sisters of Mercy, Cabaret Voltaire, Cause & Effect, Bronski Beat, Talk Talk, Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Love and Rockets, The Smiths, Morrissey, Book of Love, Kraftwerk, Killing Joke, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Skinny Puppy, Chameleons, The Happy Mondays, Ministry, Clan of Xmox, Colm III, The Shamen, M/A/R/R/S, Yellow, Flesh for Lulu, Micro Chip League...????

Great time there listening to Boys don't cry. Only one bartender but she was hustling.

Great place to watch an intimate show with about 300 people, or attend one of the Oddities conventions!!! Before or after, there are lots of cool shops and restaurants to get breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

Although touted as a "goth" club, the DJ often plays crap like Madonna and Gwen Stafani. The bathrooms smell like they haven't been clean since the 70s and they over fill the small venue with people making it too hot and crowded to enjoy dancing.

I have been a Numbers fan for quite some time. I went to an. the oversold concert, which had no. ADA section and people passing out. Consistently rated a top venue. I have seen many shows there. I saw a lack of concern for patrons and an accident waiting to happen .

Love the vibes and ambience, 18 plus and everyone is like alt but accepting some very chill and laid back people.

Best place in midtown I've found Etro is too small and barbarellas is overpriced and not that great this has it all.

This place is tons of fun. Fridays night us some jams! Definitely a good vibe for a good time.

I spent my high school years in this club back in the 80's. I NEVER left the dance floor. Sad to say tonight I went for my birthday to relive those nights. And to my disappointment they only played a handful of songs from back then. I might of danced to 8 songs in the 5 hours I was there. I even got there at 9 because I was so excited. I even made a birthday request. Yeah it didn't get played. Thank you. To all my fellow 80's fans that came here back in the day, don't waste your time. No Erasure, no OMD, one Depeche Mode Song, one New Order Song, no Echo and the Bunnymen, no Joy Division, no Anything Box.

#'s is The Best NightClub In The World!! The Crew have kept it going stong for 34+ years and very accepting a supportive!! If You have never been def put it on your bucket list!!!

One of the workers hit our friend and pushed her down. Don't go because the same may happen to you.

this was my first ever clubbing experience and it was so amazing! i was a little nervous since i'm under 21 and a female but the people i interacted with were so respectful and open minded, i felt very safe. Went on a friday 80's night so there was an equal amount of younger and older adults there, alot more younger adults than I expected. Was truly such a great experience and one of the best nights i've had in a while, will definitely be returning!

Review #123 Oh #'s. You've had my heart since the 1990s. A Houston institution in the Montrose area located on the infamous Westheimer Rd. I would come here in my 20s on Friday nights to get my New Wave fix. Now I come occasionally for the shows and the 6400 parties (native Houstonians know what I am talking about). I can count on #s to bring back my favorite bands from the 80s, 90s and so on. Music from Depeche Mode, Gene Loves Jezebel, Erasure, Ministry, Front 242, Nitzer Ebb will rekindle the long lost club kid inside of you. Disclaimer - Don't come here if you're looking for main stream 80s and 90s music. You're not going to find it. Know your club music ladies and gents. What you need to know. 1) Parking - LOOK FOR NO PARKING SIGNS! There is street parking, however you will have to search for it, it can me time consuming and in fact a nightmare. Just take an Uber. 2) Full bar. A few of them in fact. 3) Bathrooms have been re-done since the 90's-2000s! I actually don't mind using them now. HA! 4) Be tolerant. You will see every type of human being inside #s. Nicest people you have ever met. Don't judge! I don't want anyone judging my yuppie self for showing up! ; ) 5) Few areas to sit. But why sit, you came here to dance your ass off! 6) Check the website to know what the theme of the night is. Friday is my favorite which is classic numbers. Lots of shows come through, so check the schedule. 7) Judgment free zone!

Have only been a few times, On Friday classic numbers night, not really much new wave played, way to much obscure stuff that I've never heard of, and Saturday which is Gothic/EMB and some other stuff, If you are more into classic EBM circa late 80's to early 90's this is not the place for you. If you are a Elder Goth, you might be disappointed.

First time at a club and they didn't disappoint pure 80s music which I loved picked up around 11pm. Danced with dudes had a blast and didn't drink so don't know how they're prices are. $10 cover charge just to enter. Huge dance floor and have bleachers to sit also some tables. Lots of lights I had so much fun. Will return but I want to go to a hip hop modern music club next.

First time to a night club and this was the best experience to dive into a good night club and the atmosphere was fantastic

I've been coming to Numbers for about 7 years. It's a long drive from College Station but well worth it! Friday nights are designated "Classic Numbers" where DJ Wes Wallace mixes 80s music and he is fabulous! Saturday nights are usually more industrial goth music. Shannon at the main bar is amazing, unbelievably cool, and always fast with the drinks! There are two other bars downstairs and one upstairs, as well. Come out ready to dance and meet some amazing people and one of Houston's oldest nightclubs!

Recently hosted a high school senior grad party at #s and it was a HUGE success!!! Rudi, the owner, went above and beyond to ensure we were happy. He provided free soft drinks and water bottles for the guests, offered a bartender, a check-in person at the door and bathroom attendants. Also, threw in a DJ (my only critique is I wish she would have mixed the songs more...basically just played the playlist, but we should have requested more from her in advance). His staff was not only available while we decorated but helped tremendously....blowing up balloons, creating balloon arches, hanging decor from the rafters. Not in a million years did we expect this kind of support!! And then the staff ordered a pizza and invited us to eat with them...seriously??!! Alan and Brandon were key in making sure our girls had a wonderful event and I cannot thank them enough. If you are looking for a venue where the staff is extremely helpful, accommodating, and energized, look no further. This was a PERFECT venue for a grad party. And we can't wait to go back for 80s night!! Thanks Rudi and Staff!!!

Owned by great people! They let my friends and I come in after they closed to wait for our ride because we were unsafe. I'll definitely go back to this bar for real knowing how good the people who run it are!

I've been going to this place since I was 16 years old (17 years ago) and it always stayed the same the people, the music, the bad smells and the flooded restroom floors this is the place to be on Friday nights if you are in Houston and like 80s music numbers is more than a club it's like a family I love this place always have always will.

Place is always empty. I went on a Saturday night expecting it to be full and it was empty. The workers told us it would fill up with people but it never did. Don't go here because it's always empty

Perfection! My favorite place on a Friday night! The music and energy is so right you can't help but to dance like no one is watching

I used to go here in the late 80's & started again just 2 years ago...& it is STILL A BLAST!!! EVERY Friday is THE BEST & BIGGEST event: *Classic #'s*, which is a flashback to music spinning in THE HOTTEST nightclubs in the 80's, like #'s & Dallas' Starck Club! Fri's are BY FAR the busiest (& MY fave!) night w/#'s very own AMAZING Dj Wes Wallace keeping the HUGE dance floor rockin' HARD til 2:30AM!!! Saturday's offer alternating events like Underworld (goth), FUN reunions thrown by some of the greatest Houston nightclubs circa the 1980's, like Club Some & Rich's (AWESOME parties whether u were there then, or NOT!), concerts, cosplay parties, & often a continuation of Classic Fri's w/another HOT NIGHT of THE BEST music from 80's nightclubs! COME CHECK IT OUT!!! "You won't KNOW, 'til you GO!" ***HUGE P.s. Keep eyes peeled for the NUMBER's DOCUMENTARY, due out spring 2018!!

One of my favorite places. Friday nights it's normally 80's new wave nights and normally an older crowd that have been regulars for years! Saturday's it's mostly goth/industrial so this is your chance to put on your dark clothes and makeup! The people that come here are open minded and very nice! Awesome bartenders, very fast! Can't beat their happy hours, $1.75 well drinks on most nights until 11pm! The parking kind of sucks when you arrive late, so you're left with parking on the street. There's also an upstairs to this place if you just want to chill and fun for people watching from the upstairs room. They have a patio as well if you feel a bit mellow and just talk to people. There's also a small room where there's another bartender. I'd say there's about 4-5 bars total, so if one has a long line (normally on special events it gets super packed) then you have plenty of choices :)

I've been going to Numbers the last 5 years or so. It can be an acquired taste for some people, but personally I always have a great time. Numbers Classic Night on Fridays is my favorite time to visit. I love dark 80s/industrial and they always play my favorite artist - Gary Numan. Wes Wallace is an awesome DJ! The drinks are REALLY strong and it doesn't take many to give you a nice buzz. James is the best bartender! :) You can easily dance the night away and lose track of time. They did an amazing tribute to David Bowie and Prince. I've never seen it so crowded for the Bowie tribute. Absolutely incredible! Halloween is always fun here too. Nobody does Halloween like Numbers! The only reason I took away a star are the bathrooms... please, PLEASE remodel the bathrooms! They are always so gross and the women's one always seems to flood by midnight. I love the place, but I don't understand why they don't remodel after all of these years... Overall, Numbers rocks though! If you want to dance the night away and have some killer drinks, come to Numbers!

For decades Numbers has been serving cheap drinks, and great music it serves as both dance club and live music venue. The drinks strong, the dance floor large. Themed nights ranging from annual all Bowie all night to disco, and burlesque. There are concerts. the one caveat-parking. And like most of Montrose, it is a nightmare.

#'s never disappoints. If you enjoy dancing to excellent music, shake your groove on the floor. Wait time is horrible at the front bar so do yourself a favor and hit the all cash bar in the back. So much quicker and efficient with the back bar. Lyft it here as parking may be an issue. They tend to tow in this area.

Only 1 star because of the amount of bartenders they have on staff. Everytime I wait in line 20 plus minutes for a drink. I am currently in the line right now for a drink and and it's been 20 minutes. Not very efficient for a club, unless you make all your money off the ridiculous door cover. If you are looking to drink, stay away.

Oh Numbers! It has such potential to be a great venue, and to some extent it is, but there are a few pitfalls. Before I mention them, I want to throw a little more positive at the venue/club otherwise you wouldn't understand the star-rating. I've seen many great shows at Numbers; they have a great stage and ideally a great intimate audience space. My two absolute favorite shows here were: Faith No More and Bloodfart (separate nights). Bloodfart was a mixture of roughly 15 musicians from popular local bands in the early 90s. They covered 70s country tunes. Think Louisiana Saturday Night by Don Williams. Anyway, those were the two hottest, most stiflingly humid shows I've ever been to...including some outdoor concerts. I have been going to Numbers since the very early 90s. It was a clubhouse of sorts for those of us who were too young to get into PowerTools. If you don't remember it, PT was a 18+ club downtown next to Spaghetti Warehouse. Only the coolest of the cool hung out here: it was downtown and you HAD be 18 to get in. With my creds established, I can now say that Numbers is a funny place. A parody of itself. It is as if a Penelope Spheeris movie exploded and Numbers was spawned, I mean born. Pretty decent soundtrack, cheesy movie. For example, the club is complete with too-cool-for-school gothic suburbanite kids that feel that they each, individually have a psychic link with Peter Murphy and David Gahan. Us city kids always poked fun. Sorry, but true. There are aging former goth kids gone to seed reliving their formative "I'm cool, no I'm not" years. There's a DJ on Friday nights cranking out cheesy "alternative" 80s hits. Apparently Hungry Like the Wolf is cool enough to play, but Everybody Wants to Rule the World is not cool enough to request. THE most disgusting women's restroom in Houston and quite possibly in Texas. No doors, and everything that you could possibly imagine happens here on a regular basis. In fact, some things that you couldn't imagine and could quite possibly burn your eyes out happen here on a regular basis. Apparently the upstairs is now a VIP room. I've seen shows from up there (years ago) and it's not really a pleasant place. Stifling hot with humidity, plexi-glass, and sticky carpet. I don't mean to mock Numbers. Truely. The club IS what it is: a little cool/uncool, a little cheesy/goth, a lot cheap, a little fun/apathetic...and Houston's really lucky to have it.

Came here for my second time with a group of friends and coworkers on Halloween night. Most all of the group had never been here before but we all had a great time. Yes this club is old, needs remodeling, dance floor is in bad shape and the crowd is pretty mixed. I actually saw someone that was old enough to be my dad on the dance floor. The music was mostly 80s and some 90s thrown in for good measure. All songs were pretty dark; pretty appropriate for the particular night. I was pretty surprised when everyone in the group said they liked the place and had a good time as well. So the restrooms are a little scary, but this is a divey club after all. Suck it up because the drinks are cheap. We parked on Avondale, behind the club which is a big no-no usually but my car was still there at the end of the night surprisingly. So was the car behind me which was clearly parked illegally RIGHT in front of the no parking sign.

18+ club for all you young European travellers! If you walk into the doors at Numbers with even a scent of pretentious or snobbery on your fresh top, don't bother paying the $7 cover on a Friday night. Your company is no good here. This club is for the eclectic-minded who open up their mind and body; only to give the dj carte blanche to do what he wishes with it. He may be generous enough to relinquish it back by 2am, but the beats of 80's electro will continue to bump through your veins until you count sheep. -Bean

Came here with a group of friends and I gotta say I didn't like it at all. Drinks were cheap, but the music wasn't great. I wasn't happy with the cover charge because once we got in, it wasn't worth it. It was just too chill and there were so many people standing around. The energy just wasn't there and it was so hot. You'd think they would make it cooler on account of there being so many people, but nope. My friends and I ordered drinks and they all came out too weak. I wouldn't waste money coming here. If you want to dance and have fun with friends I would recommend going elsewhere. There are plenty of places where you can get in for free and have a great time.

Awesome concert spot. I saw the Helio Sequence here for my birthday a few years ago. Beer is readily available, and so are the d-bags that flock to the bar and act "totally wasted" after one Smirnoff Ice, but that is to be expected at a place like this and I do not hold that against the venue - because they bring good music here. Parking is awful, find a bombshell torn up lot behind and pay an exorbitant rate to park your car and still be wondering if it will be there when you are done with the concert. And yet I would still come back here.

My favorite place in Houston!!! The music was absolutely amazing, I danced all night, and I'm from LA soo I have a lot to compare it to. I came for the Halloween costume party and it was great to see all local crazy creepy kids coming out to play. There was also some pretty normal looking people there just dancing and everyone was just enjoying the night together. I cannot wait to go back!!!

Terrible music, terrible vibe, $7 cover charge, not REMOTELY worth it. Some friends and I went here for "classic Numbers" on a Friday night and it was miserable. The music they played wasn't bad music, per se, but it was horrible music for a club - stuff that wasn't remotely dance-able. The security was also way over the top, to the point where it felt like I was trying to dance in a TSA line. At one point one of the Numbers staff came up behind me and grabbed my arm on the dance floor to check for a wrist band (I had one - it was just obscured by some bracelets I was wearing). It scared the crap out of me and completely killed my buzz. I understand needing to check, but FFS maybe come up in FRONT of me or tap my shoulder instead of grabbing my arm? The club was also too hot and the crowd had no energy - likely due to the lame music. Save your money and go someplace else. I don't care how cheap the drinks are, this club is a total buzzkill.

Numbers is probably the most layed back place out there fridays and Saturdays rock. If you never been try it out. No hassel croud.

Went last night, and probably won't go back...The DJ won't play any songs but from the 80s. The place is DIFFERENT and the drinks aren't cheap. The ladies at the front desk were rude and pushy.
