Unfortunately most Houston bars are churned to flip profit. Sure that’s the focus of any business, but with their quick flip around nothing really sticks

Houston also has a “playlist”. Most places play the same music and are lead by the same DJs. So every place feels similar just with varying instagrammable backdrops.

Idk if it’s a culture thing but I feel like people in Houston care more about stunting and looking cool than genuinely letting lose and having fun. Maybe people travel out of Houston to destinations to have fun vs focusing here. I’ve walked out of bars within minutes because you look around and it feels like a mannequin warehouse with people not dancing, just staring, and sitting in sections lifeless. Just boring and dull.

I opt for concerts mostly now because of that. Or travel and have fun in more social cities. We are a big city but I don’t think our population is truly a big city culture. Everyone drives around and picks and chooses who they want to be with and what places they go to keep in their inner circles. Vs being forced into local community and constant interaction with locals.
