A few doors down from the Continental Club, the Mink sits sharing the corner with Julia's Bistro. The club really has two parts, the front room ? Mink proper ? and the Backroom. Both feature vibrant hues and stark black walls, but the Mink in the front skews toward a dreamy vintage aesthetic with floral patterns and worn leather furnishings. The Backroom mostly hosts smallish indie ? hip-hop and rock ? shows, so you will never be for want of noise. Most every night you can find karaoke, a DJ or a drinking promotion going down, including the ever-popular "Recession Tuesdays," with cheap-ass wells and Jell-O shots going around.

  • 2009 | Best Bar

    While a never-ending parade of Houston's best indie-rockers, punks and DJs, plus out-of-town acts of all shapes and sizes (many on their first-ever tour, or playing Houston for the first time), shuffle through The Mink's aptly-named adjacent... More >

  • 2009 | Best Bar Bathroom

    What we love about the bathrooms at the Backroom at The Mink is that upon our last count, there were about four of them. One for men, one for women, one for "whatever" and another mystery head with no designation. It's fun because when you... More >

  • 2008 | Best Performance Space

    "Performance space" feels a little highfalutin to describe the Mink's Backroom — it's a venue, plain and simple — except for a couple of points. First of all, there's no stage per se; bands just set up at one end of the rectangular upstairs room.... More >

  • 2006 | Best New Bar

    When The Mink and its neighboring Backroom opened last summer, Montrosian hipsters finally had a good reason to hit up the burgeoning Main Street strip in between Wilbern and West Alabama. The Mink is housed in what once was Drink Bar, but... More >

    Basically lived here for a while. I do love this bar. Tuesday nights are crazy with $1 wells. Get there on a Fistful of Soul night - if you love yourself.

    This venue has multiple floors and areas to chill with a couple different bars. Great for DJ's upstairs, art downstairs, courtyard for a smaller dance parties and shoot some pool in the back room. Hipsters are in Houston too and this is the place to go if you're one. Good vibes at The Mink!

    The Mink is just a cool laid back place to have a Lone Star and meet some friends or see a band or a local DJ in The Backroom.
