Meridian is Downtown Houston's largest independent concert, party and special events venue in the city. Meridian's doors open early so you don't have to stand outside in line. We also have a large outside smoking area with a beautiful view of downtown Houston. Come in, cool off, have a drink and meet your friends at the Meridian.

Editorial Review for The Meridian – by Joshua Hinsdale

In Short
This much-needed addition to the Houston live-music scene is located in a prime section of downtown, just across from the convention center. Divided into three areas, Meridian's main warehouse-style room houses the stage, capacity for close to 1,000, and a stellar sound system. A smaller lounge, known as the Red Room, exudes Middle Eastern charm with curtained divans, pillows and dim lighting. The smaller VIP room is cozy for conversation. Pool tables and video games help pass time between bands.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Seriously, this place rocks. This is undoubtedly the best venue in Houston for live music. I've been to several shows of varying genres... all were fantastic. The management and staff are by far the most friendly and coolest around.

Pros: Best sound in town.

Cons: None

I love concerts at the Meridian... The sound is incredible and the staff is warm and friendly. A great place to relax, listen to music, grab a drink and just have a great night. The central, easy to get to location and ample parking is a nice change from the chaos of Main street.

Pros: great shows, sound, staff, locations

Cons: They are not open every night!!!
