Description

Located across the street from the main Metro bus station and a few blocks from the Greyhound hub, the Lone Star Saloon is in the heart of Downtown Houston. This means the crowd is made up of aging townies and world-weary road dogs, and tends to be somewhat earthy, though rarely out-and-out unfriendly. Dial up some Bob Seger and George Strait on the jukebox, dip into the cheap buckets of Lone Star beer, and erase the troubles of a long day at the office or on the highways.

  • 2009 | Best Dive Bar

    Whenever we're at Lone Star, we feel the need to pick at least one song from Bob Seger's Night Moves, on the juke. Bob's soulful croon, alternating between tender and downright raunchy, seems like the perfect soundtrack for this downtown watering hole. And we don't mean "dive" in a bad way, mind you. We mean it in a sort of classic, old-school, not-too-many-of-these-around-anymore way. It's small, dark, minimalist -- a few cramped booths, a pool table and a new patio that sort of looks... More »

  • 2008 | Best Bar Atmosphere/Decor

    On the outskirts of Midtown is a time warp to a Vietnam-era dive bar. Okay, so it's actually the Lone Star Saloon, but anyone who has moseyed (purposely or accidentally) into this shotgun-style drunken haven might believe the aforementioned scenario. The clientele ranges from talkative veterans to homeless crazies to two-steppin' transvestites. The bartenders -- who prefer that you pay in cash -- will be happy to help you as soon as they kick out the drunken mental cases. Ladies... More »
