What People Are Saying About Citizen Lounge

Featured Review

In Short – Primarily top-shelf drinks and specialty cocktails are the order of the day (or rather, night) at this Heights lounge filled with 30-something professionals mingling in the attractive space. Décor is sexy and refined including stone walls, leather furnishings and dark woods with dimly lit chandeliers. In-house DJs spin low-key lounge music as clubgoers mingle among tables, eschewing the groping and grinding common at other local nightspots. A pair of elevated VIP booths draws envious looks.

  1. For a club located in the back of a shopping center and terrible parking, what are the owners thinking?
  2. The atmosphere is very nice and welcoming (hardwood floors, granite var, stone, etc.).
  3. Nice decor with very cool lighting fixtures, very warm feeling inside.

  1. Please, go enjoy this super cool bar that is happy to let in all the pretty white people unless you think that is just wrong.
  2. So the end result was that the black guy with all the white people was allowed in this super cool bar.
  3. It looks like the owners put alot of effort here to make a nice bar.
  4. Although the door patrol claimed that my assessment of why my friend could was not immediately granted access to the super cool bar was speculation.
  5. Super cool bar or not
  6. Apparently one of us was not dressed nice enough for this super cool bar.
  7. The drinks were not good for the price and the patio felt like I was at a picnic.
  8. The drinks are a bit expensive but small price to pay for a nice place to go.
  9. Fun bar!

service

  1. don't understand the racism there because the owner is a Hispanic dark short guy who doesn't even look average, on a scale from 1-10 I would give him a 3, and the tall Caucasian big belly bouncer is ugly and rude!
  2. racial profiling, rude bouncer!!
  3. I'm just inlove with the beautiful waitress that took care of our table.
  4. Aaron the manager was very nice and took care of our every need.
  5. (before I hear replies to racism or anything: I'm a professional Latino - and I know my people.
  6. Before we even got to the door the rude bouncer told my girlfriends that we are not welcome in their establishment.
  7. Great service!
  8. When we actually got in we were in such a bad mood and had the worse time ever, all we could do is talk about the bad experience and the disappointment of this place and how he would tell other people ?
  9. So the end result was that the black guy with all the white people was allowed in this super cool bar.
  10. The bouncer was rude.
  11. Please, go enjoy this super cool bar that is happy to let in all the pretty white people unless you think that is just wrong.
  12. Do not waste your time and money, There are plenty of others choices at Houston where you can find cool and friendly people.

Ok for girls nite out

by SJ0012

Not enough people in the place Dont let them park your car. Park it on the street and the place doesnt pick up till about 12:30am and still not a huge crowd. They need the DJ from Drinkery on Washington and the place may have a better turn out.

  • Pros: Comfy places to sit and be silly
  • Cons: Very small!!! Vallet outside

I Love It!

by Chad2009

Met some friends at Citizen a couple of weeks ago and despite of all the bad reviews that everyone here is saying, I love this place! The drinks are a bit expensive but small price to pay for a nice place to go. The beautiful crowd was a mix of everyone and not young at all compared to all the other trendy places everyone goes to. Aaron the manager was very nice and took care of our every need. I'm just inlove with the beautiful waitress that took care of our table. She just wasn't there to look pretty, she worked her butt off and made sure we were good the whole time. Citizen's decor was fabolous, it made me feel like i was away from Houston. I'm from Vegas and frequently club at the best places and the music at Citizen was top notch! The Dj was on fire! I didn't get a chance to meet the dj responsible because of the dj booth's location, but he layed it down. The playlist went from current House, Top 40, Mash-ups, 80's, 90's and even some Hip-Hop. This is the place to go if you are a music lover with class and it sure was not the type of played out music that everyone else plays. You stay Classy Citizen! Don't listen to the haters! I will definitely party at Citizen and invite all my friends to come through.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME HERE.....GO TO STATUS LOUNGE ON SAN JACINTO

by nash75

I WENT HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME TO MEET MY WIFE AND HER SISTERS INSIDE AFTER WORK ON SAT. I PULLED UP TO VALET AND PAID 20 DOLLARS TO PARK MY EXPENSIVE CAR.I WENT UP TO THE DOOR JUST TO BE TOLD THAT I COULDNT GET IN BECAUSE THERE WAS TOO MANY GUYS INSIDE. I THEN SAID THAT MY WIFE IS IN THERE AND IF THERE IS TOO MANY GUYS IN THERE I WANT HER OUT, SO GO GET HER. THE GUY AT THE DOOR TOLD ME THAT IF WANT HER TO COME OUT I NEED TO CALL HER ON HER PHONE . I WAS SO ANGRY I WALKED AWAY AND CALLED MY WIFE OUT OF THERE. I SPEND MONEY WHEN I GO OUT AND ITS OBVIOUS THESE PEOPLE DONT CARE ABOUT MAKING MONEY. THEY JUST CARE ABOUT FEELING LIKE THEY ARE A MANHATTAN OR HOLLYWOOD LOUNGE. WHAT ANGERS ME THE MOST IS THAT THE $7.00 HR DOOR MAN IS THE ONE TELLING ME I CANT GET IN. I ALREADY KNOW THAT THESE GUYS RAN ANOTHER CLUB CALLED HUE AND IT'S SHUT DOWN. I SEE WHERE THIS BAR IS HEADING. I ALREADY MADE PHONE CALLS TO THE CITY INSPECTORS. LETS SEE WHAT VIOLATIONS THEY FIND IN THERE. THANKS FOR NOTHING CITIZEN

Fun bar!

by Milo135

I have been to Citizen many times and I have always had a great experience. The atmosphere is very nice and welcoming (hardwood floors, granite var, stone, etc.). I have met the owner on several occasions and he goes out of his way to make sure everyone is well taken care of and enjoying themselves.
