Al’s Sports Bar

Like they stole the set pieces from some imagined live action Jetson’s movie and then the packages got mixed in with some of Kubrick’s visions, the Licor Lounge is definitely one of the coolest Houston dance clubs to knock back some booze in, shake your groove thing and find your own personal space jockey or jockeyette. The club itself has raised cubistic areas for dancing or sitting and the Licor Lounge thankfully doesn’t just cater to one type of music—you can hear everything from hip-hop and house to pop classics and rock, basically anything that gets the crowds moving. The atmosphere and décor at this Houston nightclub really defies definition, but we gave it our best and we’ll sit by the phone waiting for the Pulitzer people.
