Description:
RICE VILLAGE. This location of the regional chain is a boon to the student-heavy neighborhood and is a reliable, if crowded, go-to any night of the week. Elegant wood paneling distinguishes the spot from more run-of-the-mill college bars, as do spectacular happy hour specials (Monday to Saturday, 2pm-9pm; all day Sunday). While many patrons happily quaff domestics, beer connoisseurs are pleased with around 50 bottled choices and 20 on-tap options. TVs, darts, pool, and a refreshing patio round out the amenities. |

MIDTOWN. Boasting maybe the town's best combination of live music and tap beers, McGonigel's has long been considered one of Houston's top watering holes. Irish in theme, the pub sports rustic-looking tables and booths, cranberry-colored walls, and a cornucopia of Irish and Guinness-themed collectibles. Well-known local and regional acts have appeared from time to time, including such Longhorn notables as Lyle Lovett, Alejandro Escovedo, Toni Price, and Guy Clark. A pleasant patio offers patrons a chance to catch some fresh air, and the kitchen sates late-night appetites with standard pub grub. (A word to the wise: Fish-n-chips always goes better with a pint of Guinness.) |

A crew of regulars (including a dog) often stake out territory at the bar, and tasty pub grub is great for helping soak up alcohol. Plus, the bathrooms have gained quite a reputation for their comical grafitti. |
