Located just a few blocks past the Montrose and Westheimer intersection, the jazzy Catbirds is a quiet bastion of old-school cool in the neighborhood. It has a unique vibe that can't quite be pinned down. It's ridiculously bright inside, the better to see all your nightly conquests we suppose. The drinks are never mild, the beer is always cold and there are always shenanigans going down on the small wood patio. Some nights bar staff can be seen tending to a barbecue pit on the front sidewalk, for those not down with the fast-food offerings surrounding the bar. Most nights all of your boutique beers and liquors are on special, and the Jagermeister flows like water.

Of the six local bars on Buzztime's official national list of top 100 NTN Trivia hot spots, Catbirds is the only non-sports bar and/or brohalla of the bunch and has the most character by far. What's more, the bar's official name is Catbirds Cocktails & Trivia, and it lives up to both ends of that equation, with some of the strongest, cheapest and tastiest libations in town on hand to aid you in remembering that Monrovia is the capital of Liberia, that Brad Mills was Nolan Ryan's most...

Catbirds doesn't have the town's best parking situation, especially on a busy night, but once you're inside and the vocals by greats such as Ella Fitzgerald and Nat "King" Cole kick in, you forget about the perilous journey you made to get there. The atmosphere is always laid-back, regardless of the head count, and the staff never seems too rushed or too frazzled. It's a great place for a round of beers, a nice martini, a mixed drink or all three. Grab a brew, some popcorn and an NTN console... More »
