The Dirt

Description

Houston's favorite dark, hip and nasty rock and roll bar, The Dirt, relocated directly across the street from the Houston Pavilions complex off Caroline about a year ago. It was a smart move, allowing Dirt to capitalize on fans spilling out of House of Blues across the street and Toyota Center two blocks away. The bar's staff is the same, with the tattooed rocker attitude, with pretty girls — um, very — and man-candy for the female patrons slinging drinks behind the granite countertop. The only hitch seems to be finding street parking on downtown's busier nights, leaving you with the options of walking or ponying up for paid parking.
