Description

Any location that is a part of Sherlock's bar chain is a reliable standby in any part of Houston where you are in need of taking less hearty folk out for a few drinks. The decor is clinically British, with sons and daughters of Albion plastered all over the walls to give patrons the feeling of being in a real pub across the pond. You can always expect live music from a number of revolving cover bands dishing out radio rock standards and the stray funky version of "Ice Ice Baby." All in all you can't wrong with Sherlock's. Just expect to hear "Jager bombs!" shouted at interminable levels. This location is also famous for it's open mic comedy nights, run by the Houston Comedy Union, on Sundays and Mondays. Drink specials abound.

Add to this a free buffet, and you're a fat, happy, drunk man or woman. More »

    "Where's Chris?" I ask Neena, whose boyfriend disappeared without warning 20 minutes ago. "He's dropping the Browns off at the Super Bowl," she replies with the attitude that can only come from a woman who shares a bathroom with her live-in boyfri... More »

    What is the ambiance or crowd like? What is the best night to go? Is there a cover charge or door list to get in?
