Description

Dean's is one of the liveliest bars in downtown as well as one of Houston's most welcoming venues for burgeoning local musicians. Before patrons even set foot inside this clothing-store-turned-bar, they're likely to hear the Metro light rail rattling past and the sound of live music. The drinks here are rarely light, with a stiff pour the norm that will make you forget that you may have a racked up a monstrous tab.

  • 2012 | Best People-Watching

    An anarchist punk, a woman in a sexy dress, a musician who plays the guitar strings with pieces of yellow and red chalk, some chess players and a homeless man walk into a bar. That bar is Notsuoh, which is connected to the equally curious Dean's. It's a sleepy Tuesday night -- not even a bustling weekend evening -- and these folks have found themselves inside this gritty downtown hang housed in one of Houston's oldest commercial buildings. On weekends, add in some metal bands,... More »

  • 2010 | Best Place to See a Local Film

    A former-clothing-store-turned-bar might be a strange place to screen newly produced local movies, but Dean's Credit Clothing has found a kindred spirit in the Houston Film Commission, which co-produces the monthly First Thursdays screenings at the bar. Dean's regularly hosts a showcase of just-released films, clips of works in process and chats with filmmakers. And lots of schmoozing by screenwriters, directors, actors and audience members takes place here. More »

    Sure, we were sad to see the well-preserved grit and grime of the old Dean's go. But let's face it: The couches smelled like pee, and the dark, cluttered room was a minefield of opportunities to fall on your ass. Besides, the new yuppified version of Dean's makes a few nods in the direction of its less illustrious past. Vintage clothes still fill the nooks and crannies along the bar's walls, and its bathrooms are papered with pages from the store's old accounting ledgers. But best of all,... More »
