Houston’s party central delivers far more than just epic nightlife

Nightlife • Dining • Shopping • Public Transportation • Metrorail • Rail Service • Hip • Trendy • Walkable • Bicycle-Friendly •

Known for years as the nightlife capital of Houston, Midtown has diversified its attractions and caters to far more than just night owls. The restaurant selection is unbeatable, with everything from bohemian coffeehouses to trendy brunch spots to world-class dinner destinations representing every corner of the globe.

The local arts scene is anchored by the renowned Ensemble Theatre, whose repertoire brings live comedies, dramas, and musicals to packed houses; the Midtown Arts and Theater Center Houston is a more recent development that combines visual and performing arts in a single facility. Lovely public parks offer opportunities for low-key leisure time, and the sports arenas of Downtown are only a few blocks away. Catch the Red Line along Main Street for quick access to anywhere in the city, hassle-free.

Of course, the nightlife is still a major draw for the neighborhood – with a bar scene incorporating trendy clubs, music venues, martini bars, corner taverns, and the legendary karaoke joints along Milam Street, Midtown Houston is definitely a great location for folks who like to work hard and play hard.

The main issue with the weather here is that the summers are very hot and humid. Houston also can experience thunder storms accompanied by flooding. On rare occasions the area is affected by hurricanes.
