Boondocks

After five years, Boondocks has earned respect as a premiere music venue in Houston, and rightfully so. This Westheimer dive prides itself on the diverse blend of people and music that flood its vast two-story scene.

The venue’s large stage and captivating sound system are what keep people coming back (not to mention the drinks are easy on the wallet). Had enough standing around? Head upstairs to the dance floor to show off some moves. Afterwards, land a seat on the patio to cool off before heading back inside.

Just be sure to check the schedule before you head out the door or else you may end up at a rave when you thought you were attending a hip-hop showdown.
