The first thing you'll see when approaching The Usual is its outdoor patio, which is as relaxed as the Heights bar's clean, dimly lit interior. Suds connoisseurs may be a bit surprised at the variety of beers on tap, and the price is right, too - especially during The Usual's weekday happy hours (6-10 p.m. Mondays; 4-10 p.m. the rest of the week). Tuesday is steak night with $1 Lone Stars, adventurous customers take the stage on karaoke Thursdays and DJ Joy de la O opens up the "Joy Factory" Saturdays. Occasional live music and pinball, darts and pool in the back room round out The Usual's attractions.
Here's something maybe you didn't know about karaoke culture: It's considerably more involved and nuanced than most anyone outside of it knows. For example, were you aware that, same as there are ka... More »

Sometimes these things just write themselves...I knew it was karaoke night the moment I got out of my car at The Usual (5519 Allen St., 281-501-1478) on a recent Thursday night. There's nothing quite like the sound of drunk white chicks... More »

Since the demise of Lower Westheimer mainstay Chances, the Usual has been Houston's only lesbian bar, so luckily it's a good one. Not exclusively for ladies who love ladies, the Usual sports an inviting front porch with a sweet view of some nearby train tracks, great deals on wine, and frequent raucous karaoke nights. After an evening so close and yet so far from the Usual, in the vast valet-bedeviled douchatoria of the Washington Avenue strip, the Usual's laid-back neighborhood vibe will... More »
Nice and chill.
Laid back kind of place. Small & cozy. Good live music. Huge outdoor patio. Seems like they have drink specials almost every day. Karaoke. Only bad thing is the parking is limited - small lot, plus side streets parking with no real shoulders, so it's kind of hard parking on the streets.
This place has Saturday night KARAOKE!! Great beer selections and prices that won't break your pocket book. Really good feel to this spot. Nice patio with picnic benches. Washington ave best kept secret!!
