I just recently moved to Houston from LA and am desperately searching for a cute coffeeshop and speakeasy type bars where the locals roam to. I've discovered Catalina Coffee on Washington Ave. and I love that place, just south of the 10. As for the speakeasy type bars, haven't found any. Any suggestions? |

Nice little bar proximate to the coffee shop...I wont name as it attracts a small mellow crowd compared to the many nightclubbing D-bag places nearby.

Only takes a few frat boys to find out about it and then the whole bar changes. Kind of like an old haunt, the Front Porch Pub. As I get older I kind of like having a few places with a more mature vibe.

I told some folks about my favorite fishin hole once. The next time I went, the place was trashed. Pampers, broken beer bottles, you name it.---My Son told me years ago, when we were walking in the Park. "Dad, ya know how we can tell when we get close to where people have been??---we start seeing trash" From the mouths of babes.
