Editorial Review for The Grab – by Andrea Loera

In Short
What may sound like an identity crisis is actually an all-in-one nightlife spot. GRAB started as a sports bar, and the latest game can still be seen on any of the many TVs throughout the bar. But it's also a popular spot with the downtown after work crowd taking advantage of happy hour drink discounts. And if neither of those are your scene, check out one of the frequent DJ and dance events held at the bar.

I have been here three times and each time there has been a different dj spinning.  I absolutley love the quirky decor and the comfortable atmosphere. The people there are always genuine in the sense that they are there for a good time and nothing else.  If you are not pretentious and enjoy all kinds of music then this is the place for you.

I'm tired of the new downtown and mid town bars that look pricy, polished and have no substance. I don't like lines and I'm not going to valet. I want a cool place with a good selection of affordable beverages, visual entertainment and good music. That's the GRAB. Open for over 4 years, this is the best dive bar with the best beer and liquor selection on the fence of midtown and downtown. There are TV's with local sports, Adult Swim and the latest DVD releases with subtitles always grabbing my attention. The Grab's calendar of DJ's and live music is usally on a once a month rotation. This IS the place for up and coming DJ's. Each night has at least two DJ's spinning vinyl. Remeber vinyl? This is not a place with DJ's who do weddings; no cd's allowed. If anything they've been kicked out of weddings. I love the varietly and the fact that each time I go there something has changed. It's alot like a chameleon. New artwork, new furniture, new games, new people, new specials, new experiences; that's the GRAB. If you're looking for a meat market, go valet your leased vehicle, wait in line, pay your $10-20 cover, wait 3 deep at the club for your overpriced cocktail; I'll be at the GRAB, Sitting at the bar watching the Rockets, slamming my cheap Irish Car Bomb and ordering an Ice Cold Stella. Cheers!!!

Pros: Music, WIFI, Wii, Texas Hold'em, Flip Cup, DJ's and Pizza.

Cons: Small Patio/Smoking Area, No Domestic Pitchers.

Editor's Review

Despite its laid-back atmosphere, this downtown billiards bar-sports bar-music spot knows how to throw a party.  See the full editorial review.
