Going to downtown Houston, bar recommendations please

Sure.

What's your scene?

Kinda just looking to go hang out and drink. Anything kinda like the bulldog?

Little Woodrow's I guess would be the closest to a Bulldog-ish bar...EaDo or Midtown locations.

Or Flying Saucer.

Downtown bars-Pastry War, Moving Sidewalk, OKRA

If you're younger and looking to rage or just want better scenery...go to Midtown(vom).

Axelrad, Wooster's and Mongoose vs. Cobra are the bars that make me want to kill myself least.

If it were me I'd Uber it to the Upper Kirby/Montrose area or a bar in the Heights/GOOF.....Kirby Ice House, La Grange, Cottonwood, The Hay Merchant are the bars most worth your time if you're an out of towner.

If it's the Hyatt on Louisiana, then yes.

OKRA

If it's a weekend night? I mean any of the bars I listed will have a good weekend crowd.

Most of the bars in Downtown are on Main St...you can walk till you find one that suits you.

Yea, just go bar hop the Main St and Market Square area.

OKRA, Captain Foxhearts, Little Dipper, Honeymoon, Warrens, La Carafe, Public Services, Prohibition, Flying Saucer, Moving Sidewalk, Hearsay. There's so many varying options right there that something will hit the spot for you.

Then after you're done bar hopping, go grab a beer and some drunk food at the Conservatory food hall underneath Prohibition.

ETA - If you're looking to hook up, go to midtown. Downtown is more about drinking. Though Prohibition is usually pretty stacked and they have burlesque shows on the weekends for entertainment.

Like any large city...don't show up at rush hour, you'll be fine.

I-10 West into downtown is typically fine during the day except for morning commute hours.
