Honestly glad the night life kind of calmed down. With all the new implants coming here its chill now. Now back in the late 90s early 2000s the nightlife was some of the best in the world honestly.
I remember that phase back in 1998 to 2004. The big club swank style then. It's more casual, less edgy now. Frank's Pizza still serving up good tavern style late into the night...
I grew up in the 80s and 90s and I remember being in downtown Houston around 1996 or 1997, it was DEAD. Like nobody was there. I went there for a haunted house during Halloween, that was literally the only thing going on back in those days. Around 1999 it started to pick up, and especially by 2003, 2004. But in the 80s and most of the 90s, the night life in Houston was on Richmond and Westheimer, not downtown or even Washington Avenue. The city made a deliberate effort around 1998 or 1999 to try to bring life back into downtown, encouraging more trendy places to open, moving the Astros to downtown and the Rockets as well. I'm sure it was more bustling place in the 1960s and before, but when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s, there was hardly anything worth doing in downtown for fun.
Houston is different man. This bar (07:53) had more diversity in it than entire cosmopolitans. I've been to em all: London, NYC, Dubai; no city comes close to the diversity of "H town".
I have to agree with you. Houston is the biggest melting pot of cultures and diversity. This gives us access to so many different cuisines and exposure to many many traditions form around the world. Thank you so much for watching.
@@billyjacc Racially, yeah, I would say Houston beats NYC on that. Ethnically, absolutely not. NYC easily beats Houston and every other city in America ethnically.
Just loved herr 1 month ego. Will be going 😊 to see downtown next weekend. I can’t wait to see Huston. I moved from Chicago. I bet it’s different and unique in its own way.
Downtown used to go hard in the 2000s. A lot of other areas have developed night life outside of Downtown now. Midtown, Heights, Washington, River Oaks, Galleria down Westheimer and Richmond, Rice Village still has some spots but used to be better, 3rd Ward, E-Do, Memorial, Sugarland, Woodlands, Humble, etc. You can have a good time in any area of town.
I used to love Rice Village as an alternative but still lively nightlife spot. All those cool places on Morningside St. especially the Gingerman Pub and Bronx Bar back in 2012 or so. Then they remodeled the fronts on Morningside a few years ago. Not the same buzz anymore. Rice Village is still nice for other things though...
Yeah, definitely things have changed quite a bit in the last few years. Especially after the pandemic. We have so many pockets of cool things you can do for whatever your vibe is. Thank you for watching!
Very beautiful walking tour just as I thought, keep it up and upload more walking tours from Houston but try to focus more on Houston unknown streets which no one ever made walking tours in
Sorry for the delay. I had been a bit absent. Here on this particular video I was using the DJI Osmo pocket 2 for the street walking just simply hand held, and for the bar scenes I used my IPhone. Hope this helps and thank you for watching !
Not the most walkable city in America, but definitely better overall than NYC or LA. At least in H-Town, you don't see homeless folks every time you go around the block. And, people just seem a lot less stressed out in Houston about the cost of living too. I'm really digging H-Town, and thinking about moving here in a few years from the expensive coastal shitholes. The only thing I'm worried about are the really dangerous roads( w/ 80mph speed limits) in Texas. I get butterflies in my stomach just by looking at them on google images. They look like freakin' Mario Kart circuits
It’s honestly not the roads that are scary, we legit have the worst drivers here, like Mad Max. And I say this as someone who lived in DFW for 5+ years
@@80skid83 What's "quiet" about it? There's lots of people walking around eating and drinking past midnight in an area that was once literally quiet on weekend nights back in the 1980s/90s. Sure, it's chill compared to other more concentrated cities but Houston's environs has many types of nightlife areas: Midtown, Washington Ave, The Montrose, New Chinatown, Kemah Lighthouse bar crawl, The Heights and White Oak, Richmond Avenue... All types of environments from classic urban crawl to wide patio bar streets outside of downtown to 1940s neighborhood bar crawls...how many cities can claim to be like that? So what exactly is "quiet" about that? Houston has PLENTY of good stuff to do.
Interesting how these commenters come to a Houston video to say things like "quiet" but you never see them in say, Denver." Houston has MULTIPLE entertainment districts outside of downtown. Downtown Houston is still lively with lots of bars and people walking around at night even if not as overcrowded as other cities (that don't have Houston's assortment of outlier nightlife areas).

How do Houstonians celebrate the Fourth of July???
And? Who wants to live in the Rotting Apple these days anyway? Houston's gaining people while NY is losing people AND businesses. At least in Houston there is this nice big city balance of nightlife and QUALITY of life. All those Rotting Apple boosters, lol. For pure raw urban experiences, NY has nothing on Manila. How about that?
Downtown Houston is just one of many nightlife pockets in the great sprawl. Houston's not like other cities that have a super concentrated entertainment area or two. I mean, where are some happening entertainment districts outside of Chicago's urban core? At least in Houston where it does have the classic urban environment option it also has wide street style along Richmond Ave and by the open water, there's the naughty bawdy Kemah Lighthouse bar crawl. Won't find that selection of varying environments in other cities. Houston's also got The Montrose, Washington Ave, EaDo, Midtown, Chinatown for night time fun.

I'd much rather have a good selection of multiple entertainment districts that are not too ridiculously overcrowded such as in Houston. You want something not too "quiet" I guess you are the type who likes Bourbon St or 6th Street or South Beach but not too much diversity outside of that. Houston has at least six or seven entertainment districts to go to. And then there's Westheimer outside of those which has loads of scattered interesting spots to hang out. So Downtown Houston is just one option to go to and it still has lots of people walking around. lots of bars there nonetheless. "Quiet?" People just like to make stupid incorrect comments.

Thank you so much for watching and the support! I will post one soon at a little community with a beautiful park where I used to live!
Should have headed into that Zenraku place. Now that looked like an interesting place to check out.
Maybe I should do a new walk and show some other bars! Thank you for watching!

Keep seeing to stay out of downtown H town. Being from Los Angeles this does not look bad
Just the east side. From Downtown west is pretty safe.
Downtown is ok, mostly there isn’t much happening there. avoid some of the east and south sides.

80 mph is not that fast, its much safer by all means than dense traffic.

Don't come to Atlanta though! Don't believe the hype. It's over rated!!

of July???
I’d say lots of fireworks, bbq using with the family, drinking beer, gatherings here and there… It’s nice
Kind of dead!

Far too quiet there
Its downtown. No ones there except for the sports games. Its the surrounding neighborhoods that have stuff going on

Downtown Houston is just but one of a number of entertainment/lifestyle areas. But it's still a cool option. One of many out there...
