1204 Caroline St (at Dallas St), Houston, TX
Music Venue · 97 tips and reviews
Jaysyn Longoria: Beautiful entertainment complex. Bar staff was extra friendly and were more than accomodating when correcting a slight error on their part. Get valet, it cost less than the event parking lot!!
Jenn: Great venue! The only issue I have is the valet parking sometimes closes early, and a few times I'd had to leave my car overnight. Which sucks if it's not a weekend.
Megan Maisel: Drinks are overpriced but the sound system is good. Bring lots of cash for parking and drinking. Crowd is one step away from backwards caps.
Linton Wong: Season ticket holders for Broadway Across America has nice perks: free parking vouchers, free drink vouchers (free snacks during intermission), etc,
Paul D 🏈: Free valet parking if you drive a Lexus!
Greta JK: Plenty of parking underground across the street for $7. Exited without delay too!

Theater · 23 tips and reviews
Chris Grum, MCC/CTA/LCS: They really need to hire better/more people to handle parking on two-show nights. Missed the curtain because of inferior parking. Arrived 20 minutes early. What a shame.
Renee C: Get here early - parking takes patience.
Rachel Vacek: Greatest theatre in town. A Christmas Carol: A ghost story of Christmas is the best version I've ever seen. Highly recommended!

Park · 148 tips and reviews
Gary Love: Parking is always a bear. If you can parallel park, head directly north a couple of blocks...there is usually street parking just a short walk away.
Nhan Nguyen: Parking meters on not free on Saturdays! Don't learn the hard way like I did.
Social News Network: This is a very beautiful and exciting park for the whole family. Be sure to check out the flea market on Saturdays, and bring extra cash for parking and vendors that sell summer treats.
Kathy Mckinney: Best crab cake anyplace, lots of crab, minimal breading
Houston Press: 2010 Best of Houston® Winner: Best Steakhouse: Toss in the city's best crab cake, knowledgeable wait staff & a dizzyingly long wine list and you've got yourself a dinner that's well worth the splurge.
Laura Chan: Best expense account restaurant
Cathal Keane: FREE parking in One Park Place garage on McKinney. Also, be adventurous and try different specialty NA beverages from all over the globe: ginger beer, kola, kombucha + spicy mango juice to name a few.
Sherri King: Try the Feta Flatbread With Shrimp And Pesto - Customized from different areas of the deli...so delicious!!
CultureMap Houston: The wine section upstairs is worth a visit.
