My father lived at the Inn at the BallPark across the street from Minute Maid for about 6 months from September-Feb. It was deserted. We had to drive to the Galleria at night to go out.

That's a dead end of downtown agreed. From Inn At The Ballpark (now Westin)I would head to the other side of 59 into East Downtown. A couple of bars there with a Lucky's and a Little Woodrows. Things are picking up there since the soccer stadium went up. And with apartments being built across the street from Union Station I would expect even more stuff to open in the near future. So you went all the way to the Galleria? I guess you missed all of the bars in Midtown? Galleria has the fine dining no doubt so if you want high end you're going to the right place. Midtown along Bagby and West Grey there are tons of bars and casual places to eat. I like the Galleria area but is too far for me to go out on a regular basis.

No offense but you did a poor job of checking out the city. Yes, the area immediately by the Baseball stadium is dead, especially in the off season and Sept of a year with team that won only 50 games. From the Inn at the Ball Park there are a 4 diiferent options much much closer than the freaking Galleria. On the other side of 59 from MMP by BBVA on St Emanuel St are a handful of Bars, Warehouse Live, Lucky's, Lil Woodrows and Mojeauxs. DT the Pavilions is walkable from the Inn and there is the HOB plus a couple of other bars, just across the street the HOB is a great Whisky Bar, Reserve 101.. A short cab ride gets you to Mid Town or Washington, both of which are very busy with all kinds of bars/restaurants to choose from. Downtown is the best option to stay if you looking for good night options.

You would have been much better off going to mid-town or the Heights. Plenty to do in both spots.

Ehh, Downtown Houston is a complete ghost town, brah during the weekend. I'd approach with caution.



Well that isn't true. It def won't be true for the LSU game

You couldn't take the 2 minute ride to midtown? You picked the furthest and worst place to go out instead
