"Warren’s is the best dive bar in downtown. Most folks here are a mix of characters waiting for a nearby club to open, meeting up with someone they don’t want their friends to know about, or silently dissociating into the void. The bartenders here pour drinks so strong that ordering more than two should come with a Surgeon General’s warning. And while there are more than a few cobwebs in the corners, Warren’s remains a classic thanks to the cheap prices, stiff pours, and relative anonymity only dive bars can provide." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
"This gritty, strip-club-in-a-past-lifetime spot serves stiff pours with zero flair. Warren’s is perfect for sipping slowly on a martini and reveling in the kind of anonymity a Downtown dive bar provides. And even though most martinis contain 100% booze, the bartenders engage in some proprietary skill that makes the martinis here taste 13% more boozy. Most of the folks here are a mix of characters either waiting for a nearby club to open, meeting up with someone they don’t want their friends to know about, or silently dissociating into the void. You’re in good company." - chelsea thomas
"Warren’s is the best dive bar in Downtown. It’s dark, illuminated only by multicolor holiday lights, and the best spot to sit is their flimsy indoor gazebo. As a former strip club, all of the seating here centers around the elongated bar. The bartenders pour drinks so strong that ordering more than two should come with a Surgeon General’s warning. And while there are more than a few cobwebs in the corners and one or two uncouth characters, Warren’s remains a classic thanks to the cheap prices, stiff pours, and relative anonymity only dive bars can provide. photo credit: Quit Nguyen photo credit: Quit Nguyen photo credit: Quit Nguyen Pause Unmute" - Chelsea Thomas
"This Downtown dive is a far cry from the boisterous bars that line Main Street, but it is a Houston institution in its own right. On any given day, tunes from the jukebox flood the space while locals belly up to the rounded bar for a cold beer or no-fuss mixed drink." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Warren’s Inn is a historic Downtown dive bar that is well worth a visit. The vibe inside is low-key and relaxed — a far cry from the livelier bars around the corner on Main Street. The jukebox showcases a range of artists, from Willie Nelson to Wiz Khalifa, and seating at the bar is suitable for winding down with a cold beer or a proper martini, as patrons have done for decades." - Eater Staff
