The Dirt Bar

My favorite watering hole when Im in Houston. Simple place to get a drink, rock on the jukebox, strong jack and cokes. No frills.

Cool little bar! Right across from the house of blues makes it a no brainer post or pre show spot. Just enough creepy stuff to give it an edge. Bartenders were great. Would make this my go to bar in Houston next time I’m in town.

Good rock bar , quirky decor , friendly bar staff ..Omar was great bartender ..reasonably priced drinks , large undercover smoking area .

We found this bar by accident and Im so glad we did. They were playing some great music and the staff was amazing. You know sometimes a bar just has a great vibe, well this is that bar.

Really busy at work, so AI wrote a review for me:Dirt Bar is a hidden gem among Houstons dive rock and roll bars, and its a true testament to the citys bar scene.When it comes to drinks, Dirt Bar truly shines. Their Titos sodas are a work of art, expertly mixed to perfection with just the right balance of Titos Handmade Vodka and soda. Each sip is a revelation, a refreshing concoction that hits all the right notes and keeps you coming back for more.And lets not forget about their Bud Lights - ice-cold and served with a side of rock and roll attitude. These beers are the perfect accompaniment to a night of music and revelry, and the bartenders at Dirt Bar know just how to pour them for maximum enjoyment.Despite its dark and grungy ambiance, Dirt Bars staff is the shining star of the show. Friendly, engaging, and always up for a chat, the team behind the bar exudes a warmth that belies the bars rough exterior. They are knowledgeable about their drinks, quick with a recommendation, and always ready to make your night a memorable one. Plus they are very good looking.In conclusion, Dirt Bar is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience a dive rock and roll bar like no other. With the best Titos sodas, ice-cold Bud Lights, and a staff that goes above and beyond, Dirt Bar is a true hidden treasure waiting to be discovered.

I love the owner and I love the bartenders like family including their bar back chicken! Shaun puts his heart and soul into this bar and he values his employees! Every time I come here I have the best laughs! It’s small but iconic and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Cool little dive in downtown Houston, right across from House of Blues. Good spot to pop in for drinks before or after a concert. They don’t serve food and are generally not very busy so the atmosphere isn’t great. Good service and reasonably priced drinks. Not a place I’d go out of my way to visit though.

Taylor is the best! Will defiantly be back to see her. She had amazing customer service and the bar had a great ambiance!

The staff took good, personal care of my friends and me while we visited Houston. We felt thoroughly welcomed, even though we were out-of-towners. There is an AMI jukebox on which you can play your favorite tunes! The décor is fun and casual. Prices are reasonable. Also, they are open on Mondays right until 2:00am, whereas many other nearby bars are closed that day. I recommend stopping here to enjoy a few cold ones! 🙂

Interesting bar for downtown. Very comfortable atmosphere but pretty dead for 8:00 on a friday. I would imagine it gets busier when there are concerts and things going on downtown. Service was quick and we were able to sit at the bar. Gothic style atmosphere and decent metal Style music. I would go again.

Best Rock bar in town... nothing clever or extraordinary about it, just a room with an oval concrete bar in the middle but yet something about it keeps you coming back. Great staff from the regulars to the guest bartenders always quick and friendly. Atmosphere is a rock vibe! The place to go after a downtown concert. Get the jack and coke from one of the Veronicas and take a picture with Ace costume Jack himself.Just a cool and chill hangout and a must visit during their halfway to Halloween yearly event.

Great downtown place for good priced drinks with a heavy metal rock vibe.

Decent local bar, liquor can be a little pricey but beers a good price. Dark vibe, music choice is interesting but not bad. They usually have great hours of operation and a great place to stop by after a long night or day.

I came in here before never once I.d served & everything was great. came in there the other day, lady ask for my i.d i did not have it on me, i had a photo of it but she wouldnt accept. I told her to ask the dude who had already served me before without providing my I.d & she said no. i waited 2 hours & watched them not ask ANYBODY for an ID. NO ONE ELSE BUT ME. so i asked the dude why they are only i.ding me & he didnt i.d me last time he said “its because he knows everybody else that was there” which he did not. i asked him why he didnt i.d me last time he said “ he trusted that i had an i.d on me” okay so why you didnt trust i have an i.d this time. It was very rude, i felt it was because i was african american.

The girls, bartenders were great until I needed my phone charged. The bar needs to have charging ports for customers or charging stations behind the bar. This is a nessessity for your patrons to stay longer and spend more money. What will it cost you. Its minuscule. Get with it Houston.

Love this place, it’s my go to in downtown. From the ownership down to the guys cleaning. This place is ran correctly !

First time in Houston - this bar was recommended and did not disappoint. Dark and divey with a sweet concrete bar and emo/goth vibe. My extra dirty extra olives vodka martini was perfect. A great downtown bar if youre looking for a tasty place to hide out.

This is a great dive bar, i walked in and felt at home instantly... Ive been there twice so far and ill be back there tonight,

Totally what I expected from the reviews and this is my kind of place as I am a rocker and a Halloween queen. So if you like that youre going to love this place

Interesting. Not my thing, but could be yours. Drinks are a little pricey for what they are but you are paying for the ambiance.

Great hard rock / heavy metal bar across from HoB. Good beer selection.

This bar is rad definitely my new go to spot in downtown

Absolutely had an incredible time tonight! Taylor was great but she should try and smile more. Music was perfect, lighting created a very sinister ambience that I felt was well suited to the dive bar vibe. Definitely will remain a regular here.If you are in the market for THE BEST Long Island ice tea, Taylor is your girl! She makes the best I’ve ever had. She was also great with her layered shots that she handcrafted for us!Thanks dirt bar fam, 222 for life.Don’t tell your friends.

Wild bar with nice loud music.I came here with two European men on a whim - it was open and everything else was closing.It was a Sunday night approaching Monday morning, music blasting in there. Scene is more like a club, minus the dancing.Love it. Not an experience I expected, but it was the experience I needed 💗

I am pretty picky when it comes to food reviews. This place was amazing. Love the vib. The lottery bisque was one of the best soups I have ever had. Our waitress was attentive. Highly recommend this place

Oh, this place is awesome! Many times have you ran into bands after the show! The bartenders are knowledgeable and friendly and always have a good time when I go there! Highly Recommended!

I really enjoy this place, good beer selection and great music. It gets super packed some nights and hard to find a place to sit, but thats to be expected. 4 stars bc once a bouncer was shutting the garage like doors outside and it came down on my friends head.. luckily she laughed it off, but he should have been more aware. And only two bathroom stalls.

Careful with your cards here, this place is scummy and scammy. The puffy faced bar tender triple charges for the same drinks. I came in with a group of co-workers and my boss put down a card for our drinks without letting us know. While we were ordering, the puffy face bartender kept charging us for our drinks. Sometimes saying others hadnt paid for their own when they had. We ended up paying for some drinks 3 or 4 times. This place is terrible.

Stopped in after the TOOL concert wanting to find a chill and popping place for a drink. Read a few reviews on this bar as we sat at another close competitor of bars around the Toyota center and saw few but many mentions of “rock” music. Absolutely awesome and amazing atmosphere. Only stayed for 3 songs but they were all great and the crowd was huge. Will definitely be back asap

Dark. Bartenders are experienced and the old Fashioned is on point. 10/10

So at first stubborn into this bar I got that underground industrial feel. They were playing new wave music and everything. By 10 o’clock the music completely changed. It turned into your normal regular night club spot. My music taste is very eclectic however when I’m going into a metal bar/industrial bar/new wave etc… completely changing the genre of music really throws you off.

This bar is an incredibly welcoming place with amazing staff, a top notch owner and great music. The unofficial Houston bar of American Mensa.

Always a great after concert hang!

This little gem of a bar was a great place to enjoy a few evenings during a business trip to Houston. The bartenders were nice and the drinks were great. One bartender made an incredibly delicious Long Island Ice Tea.

Staffs are so attentive.Great ambience.

The best music if you like rock! 🤘🏼

OK little bar in downtown Houston, very dark when we were in, Bartender was nice and all but, When we noticed she took out $8 of our money for one beer, thats when we decided to leave.

Egh! Really I cant get an olive for my martini and I paid 11$ for it! Its alright here! The atmosphere is kinda all over the place! Skeltons at one corner then gold statues at another corner! I couldnt catch a vibe here! I couldnt tell what genre of music was playing! Then on their screens was sports! You think a place that had 8ft tall skeletons would have a better television selection! Its very millennial oriented! Im 47 and I couldnt chill here! 🤷🏽🤷🏽🤷🏽🤷🏽🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Great bar and great music! We stopped at this place before getting to the hotel and we loved it! The bar tender did awesome, always fast and attentive. Recommend it!

Had an amazing time here hanging out with a band we had seen at The House of Blues earlier in the evening. The bartenders were awesome, in their demeanor and their abilities. Its nice to come to a new bar in another town and made to feel welcome even though were not regulars. Great music on the jukebox, the purposely grungy atmosphere (well, you are at The Dirt!) and great drinks being poured. This night was probably one of the highlights of our vacation because of The Dirt.

Very cool bar in Houston. Was looking for a late night spot and the place got really crowded because of the bowl game. Perhaps they were a little surprised that such a crowd would come in on a Monday night because they only had one bartender but he was very knowledgeable and worked as hard as he could to keep up.

Everyone that works there is incredible!!! Taylor, Veronica and Shaun are the best people in the business. The girls need a raise! ;)

Place was pretty cool. Dark gothic type feel. Alternative/rock/metal style music playing. Bartender was really nice! She welcomed me to Houston and told me about some other cool places to check out. Went on a Sunday night and it was very dead.

We love Fernando and the atmosphere in this hang out! Right across from the House of Blues great place to get a great drink that you can actually taste the alcohol and doesnt break the bank!

I would like to thank Veronica for being the most attentive bartender. Being a tourist in this city she made me feel at home! Coming from the other corner of the corner of the country she provided the most welcoming feeling without that knowledge. If you come to this area ask for Veronica!

Cold beer, plenty of whiskey, reasonably clean, questionable bathroom door, easy vibe, excellent music. Fernando the bartender is my new favorite thing in Houston.

Wheres the dirt though? I stopped by this bar a few times during my visit to Houston. The staff were incredibly nice and the drinks were reasonably priced. Not much more you can ask for tbh. Just wondering where the dirt was?

Great local bar with local beers. I wish they had more live bands. But, the atmosphere is chill and the bartenders are great with service. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling through or staying in Houston.

One of my favorite grunge bars in the city, prime location right by house of blues. There isnt too much of a wait to get drinks here, fair pricing. The decor is quaint and heavy metal is usually played here as the ambiance music

Its just a cool rock bar. The service is great and they have a variety of drinks, along with a monthly calendar of who is playing the Toyota center. Id only go in if you have money to spend though.

Its a cool lil spot to walk in grab a drink and walk the city. Also not far from the electric scooter rental tents. If you love hard rock metal type music this is the place. You can be yourself and be you. They also showed sporting shows.

Silly Little Rock bar! If you’re into grunge, rock and that whole vibe you’re gonna like it. I just stopped by had a couple of shots they were good just not my type of place

*disclaimer* I was only at this place right at opening and only stayed for one beer.I recently did the Dirt for a quick beer while waiting on friends to arrive for an event at the House of Blues right across the street. There were only about 7 people there, so I cannot fairly judge how the crowd may be at this place. That being said, the lack of patrons did give me a good view of the place and its decor. I will say this: this does not seem like my kind of place. There is almost nothing in the place, it is like a dark grey,dimly-lit concrete box with an oval bar in the middle. There wasnt much seating. The beer was good and reasonably priced for the area. The staff was cordial and prompt.

We were in town for National Athletic Trainer Convention. This was near the hotel within a short walk. Found a gem of a place here. Veronica and her teammates did a super awesome job! I never had to wait to place my order. My final tab was accurate. The prices were not outrageous. I always was served with a pleasant smile. Needless to say if I am in the are again I am definitely making a stop in The Dirt Bar. Drinks were super cold and Service was awesome. The staff should be commended! Cheers til next time.Respectfully,BryanOKC

Dark and grungy atmosphere. Very enjoyable, great music and love the bartenders here. They also had food outside.

Good low-key bar in downtown right across from house of blues. Great bartender and easy spot to go to if you want a chill spot to chat with who youre out drinking with. Dont expect frills at this place, and thats just how a good place should be.

Had no clue what I was in for, walked down beacause my hotel was near by. Was a little concerned because nobody was there. I saw candles lit and mysterious curtains hanging along the walls. Ended up loving this place. Was there in 2011 and havent been back but Im looking forward to the next trip. Awesome bartenders, great staff. Great music.

I loved this bar, i was on vacation in houston and we got back from the Lady Gaga Concert but the hotel bar was closed so we made the short walk and they were crowded but the bartenders were quick and attentive, not to mention the music when we walked in they were playing Subhumans and then they played against me! joan jett, she wants revenge, and danzig , if i ever find myself in downtown houston i will definitely return!!!

I had the time of my life in there. Its got some neat, but not over the top goth decor and then a simple layout. Theres a big bar in the middle and places to sit around there.Its a Rock n Roll bar with heavy metal/goth roots. Dont expect much foo fighters or Pink Floyd...Do expect Ozzy and Slipknot.

So they dont do live music

I am sad to say that I was really disappointed in this place (and I’m easy to please). I stopped in on a work trip (alone) because I read the reviews and wanted to experience something cool on my one night in town but I felt like a nuisance to the bartender. There was no interaction. No thank you/have a good night when I was leaving. I couldn’t drink my drink fast enough to get out of there. Another guy came in and sat next to me and the bartender was infinitely more friendly to him (maybe he knew him, I don’t know). Drink was cheap, so that was decent, but I’ll always pay more for a good experience which, unfortunately I did not have here. Not worth the walk in the rain... bummer.

Always a welcoming establishment. Great prices and juke box. Been around 18+ yrs sooo that has to say something. DONT play TINY DANCER on the jukebox

If youre into dark dive bars with heavy metal and rock still being played all night on the jukebox, there really isnt anywhere else you should be looking for. This is such a unique spot for downtown and its directly across from the House of Blues, so its easy to pop in for a pre and post drink from any concert. Its an easy walk from Rockets games or anything else going on at Toyota Center as well. The staff is amazingly friendly and great at getting drinks out even in the busiest times. Its also only a few blocks walk from the Metro Rail. They always have great beer on tap and a great selection of strong drinks. I recommend having dinner at El Big Bad and then taking the Metro Rail down to Dirt Bar!

Great atmosphere, music, and staff. I really liked the vibe.A bunch of us were in-town for an event at the convention center, and we ended up at The Dirt Bar every night.

Very cool place to go before and after a show. Easier to get an Uber here than Toyota Center. Service is quite good here despite the high volume -- bartenders handle customers and tabs well -- without being rude. Liquor/beer selection is above average and prices reasonable.

This place has a great atmosphere. The drinks are not what you may expect from a place that looks like they do. You might expect the drinks to be made too fast to be good, but the staff has been there for a long time so they have a lot of experience. Take the chance and ask for a mixed drink. You may be surprised.

Awesome, metal as hell bar. Amazing drinks and great music. I wish there was one in Phoenix, AZ.

It was my first time in here and I fell in love with it. Although, I didn’t see what kind of crowd goes here I loved their playlist and atmosphere. The lady bartender was a doll, I accidentally spilled my drink and she offered to make it again at no charge. I feel bad because I promised her a good tip but my friends decided to cut it short so I didn’t get to order but I will for sure next time.

Definitely has a rough, grungy vibe, in stark contrast to the friendly, cheerful bartenders. Despite looking like an underground music venue (intentional) the bar and bathrooms were clean and in good repair. Dont judge a book... Only complaint is that the juke box was busted, and the music was slightly on the popular side of hard. Some classic thrash or death metal would have made it perfect. Also, everyone was cheering for the home team (Astros that night), which always is awesome.

I went here while on a business trip and my boss literally asked me, why would you willingly decide to go to a place called Dirt Bar... more than once? Turns out it was easily one of the highlights of the trip. 5/5. Would recommend, would go again.

Sweet bar across from House of Blues. Beautiful Tattooed bartenders. And neat interior. Good drinks made. And their drink menu names are hilarious! I will be back next trip to downtown Houston

Should be called TRASH. By far one of the worst bars in Houston hands down. One of the main door girls/bartenders has people arrested for no reason. So unless you want to ruin your night and week stay far away from this bar. You will thank me later!

Was not to impressed. Waitress was way to snobby. We are from St. Louis and we stopped in because it was in walking distance from our hotel. we stayed for 2 drinks and couldnt take it anymore. Bartender was staring and talking to someone at the end if the bar looking at us the whole time. So my fiance was like lets just go.So our party just left. I dont know if it was because we were a mixed (black & white) group, in a biker bar or what. But none the less they lost some money that night. We left found another place. Would not recommend this place at all.

My friends and I were visiting Houston for my bachelor party. We came across dirt bar and because it had great ratings decided to check it out. It had to be our favorite part of the trip by far. We will definitely be back for more dirt bar in the future!

This place was cool. Lol my mom and I went there for a drink before the Ricardo Arjona concert and we were pleasantly surprised lol we wondered around the area searching for a bar and happened to spot it across the street from where we were walking. The place was definitely interesting. I would describe it as grunge and dark. We felt out of place but went in anyway. The bartender was nice, and the drinks reasonable. The music was awful. Mosh pit type of music. After a few drinks, we didnt really mind it anymore lol

As a metal chick I love this bar! Good service, good music, good drinks, and the bartenders are nice. We come here after concerts at House of Blues and anytime we are in the area downtown.

Best rock and roll dive bar in Houston! Fun place to go before or after a show at House of Blues, and youll often run into members of the band you just saw play! The bartenders are always eager to join you in a shot of Jack Daniels.

2nd time visiting while I was here.. It wont be the last.. Great drinks!

The wife and I stopped in here for a few drinks before a show at House of Blues. Their description is perfect: gothic design, a hard rock playlist. We were here on a slow quiet sunday evening and it was just the way two anti-social rockers like it.

Been here a couple of times. No frills bar downtown that plays metal music. Drink prices are what you would expect for a downtown bar. Great place to chill out at the bar or the booths that they have there.

My buddy took me here for a few beers after work one night and he had to drag me out of there. The food was good, music was great. This place is a great hangout!

Man, if you go here for New years or any other special night dont bother. They cut the booze and they will take your cups. Their open bar is only one novice bartender. Honestly go when there is no rush like every other review on here.

Dark environment, open area. Smoke lounge is included, so can drink and smoke. Friendly staff and a decent selection. Was able to order food and eat it at a booth . Staff are well read up on and know how to make their drinks.

I didnt ask the origin of the name. The atmosphere however is not dirty at all. No problem to pay the drinks with cards. If you want to escape the rush of the bar you can take your drink to the open space.

If youre looking for a place to drink/hangout before a show at the House of Blues, definitely consider The Dirt Bar. Beers in The Dirt Bar were half the price of HoB and they had a much better selection. Only complaint was they didnt have any taps, bottles only, but still a very respectable selection. Also, as opposed to many of the other places in the surrounding blocks, you wont look out of place in jeans. Bartender was friendly and helpful and the music was decent and not too loud to hear each other talk.

I had heard this was a good place to go, so I tried it out. The place is very popular, and the atmosphere was fun. This area of town is becoming more popular, and there is the chance there might be a large crowd. Close to House of Blues, Toyota Center...

It was OK. The bar staff did very well keeping up with a fairly full bar. Not much for comfortable seating and it didnt strike me as being terribly clean. Gin and tonic was so so

By far the coolest bar Ive ever been to music is great vibe Is excellent never been to a bar like it.

Although it seems like a dive bar it has a nice open space, interesting decor and most importantly good drinks. They offer drinks that are fairly priced and varied, as well as keeping a good humor about the named on the menu

Music was quite good, but what can you expect from a dive bar in that part of downtown? It is a place where lawyers and bankers go after work to show how hip they still are. Dive as a Hilton hotel

The description of this being a speak-easy is inaccurate except that theres not a big sign out front,but that shouldnt stop you from swinging by for a drink.You might even impress your companion when you walk in and head up the stairs without hesitation as if of course you know all the hidden gems around town.Its fairly loud and they were playing rock music again, not a speakeasy but you can still have a one-on-one conversation.I think its hiding place on Mason Street keeps it as a mostly local haunt despite being smack in the tourist-vile that is Caroline St.PS They have oysters, which I was told were on point - no condiments needed.

Solid happy hour also, very close to Toyota Center.

Great spot for a drink before a show at Toyota Center or House of Blues. Great staff and lots of great booze. A real rock bar with great music.

Awesome place. Chill and great music.

Awesome hole in the wall bar in downtown Houston. Excellent atmosphere and vibe. We dont live in Houston, but will definitely visit when we come back!

Friendly place. Came on a slow night, so hard to judge. Pours were generous. Was muggy because the front door was open though. Bar selection was lackluster, needs a cocktail menu. The music theme saved it for me

Tuesday night after Sebastian Bach show, and same night of Game 1 of World Series...Bar wasnt packed full, but had a nice vibe going! Cold beer, loud heavy metal blasting, and great people watching opportunities. Who could ask for more?!?

Good music and great drinks! We had a blast!

Simple decor. Needs more stuff on the walls like the old place in the Heights. Good beer selection. Dont give the negative reviews much heed; some folks live with a chip on their shoulder.

Hey rockers. Terrific place to listen good music and have some beers without the snoob kids from other bars.

Loved the atmosphere, door guy was great & fun. Music playing and love the lighting

Very cool place. Good prices. Both bartenders were very attentive. I went here to pre-game before a show. Id recommend it.

Great location in downtown. Very much a stand and chat vibe, not as great for a sit down hangout.

I love this place. I come to Houston for an Astros game and I gotta stop in for a drink. Super laid back place to hang out.

The bartenders should definitely have a better idea of what beers they have, when I asked what stouts they had he just pointed at the mini fridge behind the bar. I could barely see what was in the fridge because of the lighting, and because bit was behind the bar.

Is it an unwritten rule that overly tattooed bartender girls can be rude to patrons? Or play on their phones & ignore you trying to get another drink, when the place is dead slow (which is most of the time). The music is no longer a good enough reason to come here.

The pre game spot before a show. Cold beer and good service.

Great music and crowd. Reasonable drink prices

Good place if youre into hard rock. I found it fun, because it was something different. The rim job shot is the best! Only a bonus that its fun to say too!

Beautiful bartenders and a perfect bar for heavy metal fans. Price on beer is cheap but liquor isnt. Just wished they served food.

Always a great spot. Some of the greatest bartenders in town work here. Also the music selection is always on point!

Decent music selection - metal and new hard rock.Loud and exactly commiserate of what the name implies. Its a dirt bar.

Awesome bartender. Quick on getting our drinks

Amazing bartenders, great ambiance, always a good time

With a location unmatched and a staff that’s even better, Dirt bar is the best place in town when you want an undoubtedly good time.

Loud music and hard drinks. This bar is great to pop into after a show at the HOB or stop in for a drink before walking to the Toyota Center.

Pretty cool little Bar. Rock n roll played all nigh on the jukebox box. beer was cold. Service was good.

DO NOT SUPPORT OR PATRONIZE THIS ESTABLISHMENT. THEY DISCRIMINATE AGAINST DISABILITIES!!I was harassed continuously by the staff for having a service animal. I provided documents and license for my service dog, even tho law does NOT require i do so. After several inappropriate and illegal questions about the nature of my disability from his staff, the owner Shawn asked me to leave his bar. He originally stated it was because of my dog, then changed his reason to dress code violation, and then changed it again to being rude to his staff. Regardless of what he stated, the fact I was harassed because my service animal is blatant discrimination and is illegal. A complaint is being filed with the Department of Justice.

Loved the bar! Great location outside the house of blues.

Had a great time. Cold beer cool bartender and great music.What more could you need?

Always a great place to stop at before a show. Great staff. Great selection of local beer and full bar

This place is great. soon as I walked in ,I knew this is where I wanted to enjoy some great drinks. great music. great people. great service !!

Snooty place rife with idiocy and greedy bartenders. Watched a friend go further and further down the tubes and the bartenders didnt really seem to pay attention to anything other than making money. Also run to douchebaggery here more often than not.

Ive never ordered food , so I cant or dont know how to give feedback on that category.

Great place to go after concerts and such at the House of Blues Houston. Its directly across the street.

Cool vibes. If hard rock and strong drinks are your thing, this is your place.

If you want a no frills good time come here. Fantastic drink options with a fantastic low key ambiance.

Great place to pick up some drinks before and after shows at the house of blues.

Great bar to enjoy after work oder after conference. Very poo pleasant and polite bartenders. See you soon

Ive been here several times. Its kinda the last place ya go when youre in walking distance from your apartment and ya cant drive. Nothing special, not accommodating.

Great place to hang out. One of my favorite bars in Houston downtown

I really enjoy this place every time I come by. Great drinks and atmosphere.

What a terrible bar. Great if you are a local but they totally ignore people who stop in for a drink. Music is is super metal if you are into that

Very edgy place. Came in for a quick drink before a show at house of blues. Cool environment. Service was nice.

I wish they had more variety when it comes to beer but so far Ive enjoyed my visits here, my to gos when I am downtown.

Ask for Veronica.. There is 2 and they are both great!!!!

Amazing bar! Best selection and price in town, much better than the place next door ;)

It’s really a cool place but just didn’t meet my expectations

No frills dive with great rock music and bartenders that are quick to serve.

Great service and awesome bartenders. And the owners came out introduce themselves and made a great impression unbelievable service going back soon

Ive ALWAYS loved this bar, I need to get there more often! The only TRUE rock bar left in Houston!

Great place to wait for traffic in the parking garage tunes down after a concert. And while you are at it have a drink

Great music selection played. Definitely a hard rock and metal theme. It is a unique bar.

I love this bar, Ive been going for years. Sure its a little dark but thats the fun of it all 😉

Great happy hour to pre game for concert!

The Dirt Bar is da Bar. I do always stop by when in town!MUSIC 💯!!!!!!

Minimalist dive bar. Strong drinks, few seats, and a badass playlist.

Amazing place a really must to be after or before a concert. It worth your time and money.

Good spot. Labeled as goth or something. Idk why. Friendly staff. Good atmosphere. Good cheap drinks. Check it out

Great Atmosphere!Great Staff in the Heart of Downtown H Town.Marvin

Loved it...drinks were good...ambience was great...enjoyed the music...plenty of room...lighting was great..will be coming back...

Great circular bar, had a great time. friendly staff and drinks are reasonably priced.

Basic bar, but good for a cold beer and a pretty good playlist

Great place to go if you want to hear Metal in downtown Houston

If you want a super cool, chill place to hang with the most awesome bartenders...visit Dirt Bar on your downtown weekend visit!!!

Kind of expensive and, I thought, kind of short pours, both on liquor and beer.

Love Veronica and pollo

Great place! Awesome music!!!Very good drinksBest bartender

Great rock music blaring. Drinks werent stupid expensive. Not bad for a Monday night

Great bar with fantastic cocktails. 😀🐦 Get $50 in free Lyft credit when you use promo INSTA50

Pre-game here before basketball, baseball, house of blues, basically if you are downtown pre-game here. Drinks are cheap and the pours are strong!

Veronica is the best bartender and has the cutest dimple. Perfect pregame for the house of bluez!

Great spot to enjoy some libations with rock and roll.

Had a great time! My man Nathan is an amazing bartender and we a had a lot of fun!

Nice open inside. Nice bartenders, right across from hoise of blues nice place to go to after or before a show.

Decent drink selection. Ambience is okay, not the best. Service is great!

It is a circular bar which is a benefit to getting a drink. Chill place with booths to sit and a smoking section.

All around good but wait is long, go early

Of you like to smell piss while drinking go for it. If not go home and pop a top on your comode. True, not lies. Sad.

Dive bar at its best. Great barkeepers, nice people all around, good music.

Jase and David are the best! Definitely willBe back they gave us the best welcome to Houston

Dead as a morgue, nice staff but unless you are you need a place to think about your death go somewhere else.

Eclectic crowd who bonds over loud punk music. Decor is goth.

Love the drinks...great prices....need more customer service upon entering and seating......

Great place for a few drinks with friends. Its a good dive bar.

Great bar, friendly bartenders & I love the metal atmosphere.

Awesome bar... loved going there, when I make it back to Houston Ill be going back

Great owner, staff, drinks and the coolest rock n roll vibe.

Great bar! Great Music! No reggaeton here! Thanks!

Man. Let me tell you!! This is a ROCK bar. Every song was rock. Ill be back..

Pretty cool place, we checked out after the cher concert! Prices were on point

Love the environment! Nate is great bartender!! Oh and love the full mirror in the bathroom lol

Decent bar, nothing super special. Goth theme, good location, reasonable prices.

Nice place to have a drink or two, Friendlys people friendly staff knowledgeable as well.

Great place and friendly staff. Truly enjoyed our time.

Great music, atmosphere, and staff, but drinks are just ok

Great drinks and music during a private party.

The Veronicas...need I say more? Friendly, fun, engaging, and attentive to their patrons and the music selection is pretty good.

Good drinks good people good prices You can’t go wrong with the dirt bar

The environment was chill and welcoming and dark and spooky at the same time.

Amazing bartender, good music and ideal location for a night out on the town.

Cheap drinks in a good location but its definitely nothing special or unique.

I was enjoying the bar until the bouncer told us to leave for admiring and touching the light fixtures.

Best rock N roll bar in Houston. Located in the heart of downtown.

Great place to listen to good music! Love it everytime.

My beer was extra foamy and flat. The bartender knew that there was a problem with the beer but did not make mention of the issue.

Its a fun bar atmosphere

Greastest 100 dollar hamburger ever!! (Oh the actual price is very fair) Just fly in and walk in, no courtesy car needed!

Cool place but know that they do not serve any food. A previous review clearly misrepresented.
