What People Are Saying About Drink Houston

Featured Review

In Short – With three bars under one roof, this lively and often wild venue at the Marq*E Entertainment Center offers retro and hip-hop dancing in the main bar (Drink) outfitted with giant video screens and an extensive lighting system. For a martini and cigar-bar ambience, head upstairs to Rain Video Lounge. Finally, 8.0 Retro is the venue's '80s-themed club, with a pair of long bars framed by a massive, 50-by-80-foot '80s theme wall.

Editor's Tips

When to Go:
Thursday and Friday night happy hours (from 6pm to 9pm) feature the "50 Foot Buffet," with $2.50 well drinks and bottled beer.
The Extras:
The club offers weekly theme events such as Nitro Fog, '80s Retro, Flashback Fridays, Second Chance Prom and the speaks-for-itself "Build Your Own Bikini" contest.

Get Your Hands Off Me Plebeians!

by TexanCowGal

Haven't been to Drink Houston in a while, but I did have fun the time that I went. (Maybe because I was drunk!) There's a nice little 80s and 90s dance area which is always fun, but beware; This is the place where lower society likes to frequent! There's a $20 cover to get in on top of that!

The place is fun with a large group, but stick together. The men here are ghetto and know no bounds! There aren't too many attractive people here, but if you're going with a large group it will be fun...but watch your back...

Fat girls and ghetto black and hispanic

by Club reviewer

If your a guy interested in fat women or nasty fat older women then this is the place for you.

If your a girl that likes ghetto black or hispanic guys then this is the place for you.

Most people have extremely bad breadth here specially the black people. You cant even pass by them without holding your breadth. This place is a health hazard.

The girls like starting fights more than the guys.

There is vomit all over the place.

Over crowded and trashy just like the city of houston.

Power abusive manager stranded me outside in the cold

by Michellemybell22

I agree with the reviews below me, I had an absolutely horrible experience. They stranded me outside in the cold for no logical reason other than to mess with me. Here's what happened: I got walked out of the club because I tried to get onstage for the halloween costume contest that was advertised to everyone, and they even announced for "sexiest costumes come to the stage!" The bouncer pushed me off as i tried to get onstage and didn't explain why I could not go on and when I protested my right he immediately started to walk me out. I tried to tell him that my friends were still in there with ALL MY THINGS - my car keys, my license, my credit card, AND my cell phone, because they were holding my purse as I was trying to go onstage. The bouncer didn't care. I asked him if I could go back inside to grab my friends and my things so I could leave but he said no. The manager started blaming me, saying that he tried to explain to me that I couldn't get onstage but he never had explained anything. I asked HIM if I could be walked in even with a bouncer or a security guard just to get my things so I could actually leave and not be stranded outside in the cold with NOTHING! He just said "no" and told me that I could wait until 2 am when the club closed and then find my friends. I of course got angry at this point because this is just unreasonable. They have the right to ask me to leave but I don't understand how they have the right to strand me there. The cop or security guard said that if I tried to go in he'd have to take me to jail for tresspassing, but I said how am I tresspassing when I payed them my money to get inside in the first place, and all I wanted was to get my things!! A reasonable, EDUCATED person would have walked me inside with the bouncer and not stranded me outside in the cold. I even asked them if they could make an announcement to my friends to come out but they said no to that as well. I said that if I got sick I would sue them for my medical bills and the manager said "good luck with that." They are obviously unreasonable, uneducated people and the only reason they don't care about their customers is because they have thousands every weekend. Is this really the right way to run a business? I'm a straight A business student, and I say NO! Unfortunately as a consumer all I can do is warn others...
