West Houston

Although a few other businesses have managed to squeeze into the crevices here and there, the number of restaurants, bars and nightclubs lining this strip is phenomenal. The western portion of Richmond Avenue is fairly tame and civilized, but once you cross Hillcroft on your way downtown, the fun and games begin. With so many choices available, it is hard to nail down the most popular spots in the area, but City Streets would no doubt qualify. This vast nightclub houses seven distinctly different clubs, including a 1970s Pop Disco, a piano bar and a huge Country & Western dance hall. If you enjoy perfecting your gaming skills with the latest in high-tech virtual reality and video game equipment, head to Dave & Busters. It also features a full-service restaurant, numerous pool tables and both a karaoke and a traditional bar. Restaurants along the strip are both diverse and impressive. The Outback, for one, is a popular bar/restaurant hangout with the twenty-something and thirty-something crowd. One word of caution—most of the strip's establishments focus heavily on boisterous fun. The atmosphere gets a little classier at a few select spots—Ruth's Chris Steak House is a prime example—but for those truly in search of peace, quiet and luxury, sample the choices in The Galleria and downtown areas instead. As long as glitz and glamor are not on your agenda, the strip offers the perfect solution for a night out. Head there and you will inevitably stumble across the perfect spot.
