How would you describe the social scene in downtown and midtown?Question:How would you describe the social scene in downtown and midtown? I am a young professional right out of University moving to Houston to work in the energy industry. I am probably going to get a condo in either midtown or downtown, but can't decide. Which one has a better nightlife (i.e. restaurants and bars)? Read the Answers | Post Your Own Answer Ask Your Own Question...

 | Houston has no real center for night life, since clubs and restaurants can be found around the city. Downtown has really developed in the past years, where I can say it is really decent now. The Montrose area has been a traditional favorite for night life, but the Richmond strip keeps extending (Richmond being a major West-East street). This strip is for driving, and it offers various eateries and clubs. Westchase is starting to develop more as well, but it is not walkable like downtown, but the chamber of commerce here wants to develop this area more. The Village area is pretty good for nightlife, and it is walkable. To let you know, Houston has had a long jazz history, but those clubs need to be sought out. Of course there are many C&W bars as well as rock and pop, and a vibrant rap scene. There are some venues for more artistic fare as well. We also have a decent theater scene. Besides the major theater, the Alley, we have two locations for Main Street Theatre, and a company that performs more avant garde works called Infernal Bridegroom Productions. There are also several galleries, so a good art scene exists. |
