Notsuoh

In the midst of all the hip-hop gals strutting their shimmery stuff down the way and businessmen letting loose over a pint or two over at the Flying Saucer lies the ever-freaky Notsuoh. Yes, all you English majors out there, that is in fact Houston spelled backwards. Owner Jim Pirtle's iconic bar and music venue has the lockdown on the strange and transient downtown vibe. Notsuoh is an oasis of insanity in a part of town still undecided on what it wants to be. Most nights you can find a handful of homeless guys out front preaching their gospel next to a group of hipsters smoking American Spirits and sniffing incessantly about their new noise project. It's a side of Houston that maybe the tourism board doesn't want you to see, but it's Houston nonetheless. Rest assured that no two Notsuoh experiences are ever the same.
