    Ima give it to you straight. This is a hole in the wall located in the 3rd ward of Houston. It packed on the weekend with short wait times for entry. No bag checks, no ID checks, free cover charge, free parking and the drinks are strong and cheap compared to other bars in Houston. It’s a good time and chill vibes every time I go. Its also surrounded by other bars so you can bar hop.

    Always a Place to go & enjoy the splendid simple things in LIFE.. In the hood as I should..Red Walls ...Red Floors...In 3rd Ward. It's all Kinds of Lions, Tigers & Bears in the Midst of the Jungle. I always have FUN Here. It's definitely one of my personal Houston Favorite places to ...to hang out & just chill. I just wish it was another bar or possibly more bartenders. The wait for a drink is always long...

    Small club. Bartenders operate on a system of who they know first. May take 30min for them to even acknowledge you. Space is limited but the amount of alcohol given in each drinks makes up for trip. The whole club gets better one drink at a time so order up

    What can I say? They don't call it "The Spot" for nothing. For anyone coming to the Tray, it's the spot. The spot for hookah, strong drinks, shots, and great music! It's hood and packed on the inside, but I've never been there when any drama went down. Always a good time and everybody just having fun being outside. Food trucks are always on the block too, so you can grab something quick to eat, Fried fish, barbecue trucks etc. Parking is bad, so uber if you can. Some side streets have strict towing enforced policies.

    Save yourself the hassle & bring CASH !!! I wouldn’t recommend using your debit card the light skinned bartender younger young man wasn’t too personable, took it upon himself to leave an extra $10 tip after already getting cash. I’ve called multiple times, but unable to reach anyone. No worries he must’ve needed it! Overall a cool literally little establishment with good music & drinks , but could use honest bartenders

    This is my SPOT! I love this ratchett but boouje place. It’s a hole in the wall filled with professional college grads. The drinks are always on point and the DJ never fails.

    A classic hole in the wall spot. Cheap drinks so you know the spot is going to be packed. Go here for those nights you just want to be ratchet and let your hair down without a care in the world. Don’t come thinking you can be stuck up in your own section with no ones uncle bothering you tryna get a dance.

    My friends and I love the stop it's a chill spot to go to with friends to talk, have a few drinks, and vibe to the music. No drama, love it. Have not had no food there so not sure about food.

    We were just driving around looking for a ace to have a drink......stumbled across The Spot and was glad we did....Young Boy behind the bar was cool az hell,, and made great drinks. A Young Lady came in and set up with some Chilli and Rice w/ corn chip and cheese to top it off....yum yum...oh and free of charge. Felt like a BLACK CHEERS up in there, Atmosphere was GREAT, if I'm ever in Houston again.... I will be SURE to stop in again....

    Needs to be bigger. I refused to go in, bc it was too packed but when I do, it's the spot! Drinks go hard and not overpriced.

    I’m from Toronto and got introduced to this bar and honestly I fell in love and really consider moving to Houston. The vibe was amazing and so friendly, I felt like I was at a family reunion. I Would Def recommend that anyone who visits Houston stops by ❤️

    We were in Houston for my husband's birthday. We went with friends. This was a nice hangout spot. They had a food truck outside. The food was delicious. DJ was accommodating.. very nice..

    There are certain places in any city that are central to community. The Spot is to Third Ward and by extension Houston that place. I don't know that just personally, I know that from the people who have been generous to share. It does not have a pool table, dart board, game machines, bogus jukebox or even cash machine. There is a table for chess. If you got the chops some early afternoon, be my guest. Not me. Not a large place, there is open space and a dj booth so when busy, dance to the bar.

    Clearly this isn't it. Wings half cooked, mac and cheese watery, no taste, margaritas no liquor, fish too salty, burgers no taste and this was around 12 pm. Went early to get a good experience. Told manager and didn't offer any substitute or anything. Nick's Beach bar wayyyy better!!!

    Visiting from Cincinnati and "The Spot" was the exact place I was looking for to pregame! My double shot was full. Throwback Thursday DJ played music I hadn't heard in years...I loved it! Going back Friday and Saturday!

    Favorite hangout spot. No frills. Strong drinks+Good DJ=great night. Good times hanging in the trey

    The bartenders are amateurs at best. Poor poor customer service skills. No system of serving and the girl bartender will overcharge your card without authorization which can put the venue in fraud litigation. She thinks that she is being smart but is far from it.

  • 5/5 Davida B. 1 year ago on Google
    You know what I can't lie coming from a place where it's common to have to watch over your shoulder or atleast keep an eye on your surroundings this place made me feel cozy. All beautiful brown ppl around, smiling no mess just vibes...it's been a while since I've been out. This was a vibe and my cousin is visiting so it was perfect setting. Way to go my people!
