Justin Kadis: Great live music. The sticky toffee bread pudding is really good
CultureMap Houston: Known for jazz, but if that's not your scene, scat cat, check the Sambuca calendar and come when the band on stage is playing Latin, classic rock, acoustic rock, American standards or blues.
Charlie Garcia: Great jazz club
VH1: The fun doesn't have to stop once the concert is over! Head next door to Roc Bar for discount entry with your show ticket. The drink specials are great all night long! – Team Live Nation
Bobby: A great music venue in DT Houston with connected garage parking and adjacent to Hard Rock Cafe and other restaurants. The best place for LOUD, REAL rock music! \m/
