Dive bars occupy a special place in the world. They can be as cozy as a living room, or provide a cool, dimly-lit place to quietly unwind after a long day at work. Never fussy or pretentious, these watering holes provide a welcoming spot to sip a beer or drown out sorrows in a strong cocktail.
Buoyed by a charming cast of regulars and visitors alike, here are 16 of Houston’s most interesting dive bars that promise cold beers, cheap whiskey, and an always laid-back vibe.
This list has been updated to rotate out Catty Corner Ice House, the Blue Lagoon Club, and TA’s Cargo Club, and to include The Cellar Bar, Poison Girl, and Warren’s Inn.
