What People Are Saying About International Ballroom

Featured Review

In Short – Formerly a grocery store, this far Southwest Houston concert venue is well known by local fans of hard rock. Stripped of its former produce aisles, the bare bones space contains a large stage area, a few side bars and vendor areas. There aren't any seats here, so fans can get close to the stage if they're willing to brave the mosh pit. Previous acts at the International Ballroom have included Megadeth, Nine Inch Nails, Sonic Youth, Rage Against the Machine, Sex Pistols and Tool. –

Best Mosh Pits in Town!

by captbrandocommando

This place is grand in size. It has plenty of room to move around and mingle. The restrooms are decent. The bar is easily accessible, being off to the side of the action. Parking is as good as it gets when it comes to concert parking. There is plenty of room for your ride and it is pretty well lit with security present. I recommend attending any concert held at this venue.

  • Pros: room to move
  • Cons: everyone crowds to the stage
4.5 Star Rating: Recommended

Exactly what it should be.

by Tessien3rd

Putting down this place for being a hell-hole is pointless. Just look at the list of groups that have played here. From Manson to Megadeth, they've had some of the hardest and craziest acts around. If you expect polished floors and screwdrivers, then you're in for a suprise. If you're expecting a bad-ass show with plenty of room to run around, then this is the place for you.

  • Pros: Large area, Large parking area, Running Water
  • Cons: Very old building, Expensive drinks, Far away location
