What People Are Saying About Blanco's

In Short – Live acts grace the stage here, including the magnificent Don Walser--famous Hill Country yodeling god--and local country-rocker Clay Farmer. As Blanco's is an authentic country and western joint, this is where you'll find some of the best-quality country music in Houston. There's a dance floor for two-stepping, but if you're not one for dancing, you can always take your Lone Star longneck to the outside seating on those lovely nights.

Bring Out of Towners
by SquintyEyes at Citysearch
I've been going to Blanco's for lunch for years. Friday's are the best with their seafood special. The waitstaff is super attentive, friendly and accomodating. Karin knows just about everyone there by first name and drink choice. Kids are welcome until the evenings when the live music starts.
Not just local bands - even thought they do have lots of good ones. But some national acts like Dale Watson, Gary P Nunn and others frequent the calendar too. No cover on Thursday's and a small cover on Friday. Even when the place is packed - and the dancefloor IS small - they have waitresses that pay attention and get your drinks quickly.
If you have friends in from out of town, take 'em there for lunch and see who's playing that night. Then bring 'em back. If you're new to Houston make it your after work stop to catch up with friends at the bar and visit with the bartender gail.
Blanco's is the coolest neighborhood bar in town.
- Pros: everything
- Cons: none

Great music, great folks, Good food... I don't live in the city limits but I don't know how many times I've gotten hotel reservations because I knew I was going to Blanco's that weekend... A good change from "country" bars like Firehouse and Wild West, it's not the trendy country crowd, its the good ole boys.
