The Best of NileGuide

Houston’s nightlife centers on live music, the very best in dance and theater, and last but certainly not least the local dive bar. Check out the Red Cat Jazz Café in Downtown Houston right off the Old Market Square for some high quality live blues and big band jams. They also serve authentic Creole cuisine so you can eat up and boogie at this hip downtown club. Milan on the other hand, is an upscale Downtown nightclub that not only is an open dance club but also is a chic lounge with leather stools and couches.
Once you have enjoyed Houston’s nightclub scene you should also buy tickets to see theater and dance shows. The Alley Theatre, for instance is one of the best place to see live theater in Houston. The Houston Ballet, Houston’s premiere ballet company, is also a must-see. For a unique Houston dive-bar experience you must make time to visit Shoeshine Charley’s Big Top Lounge. This circus-style bar has a diverse lineup of live local music acts and inexpensive drinks.
