About this tour
Just south of downtown, Midtown packs more bars per block than almost anywhere in Houston — sports bars, patios, cocktail dens, and beer gardens all crowded into a compact grid of streets served by the light rail. That density makes it the city's most natural bar crawl, and this walking loop links a handful of the neighborhood's favorites into a night on foot. Because the light rail runs right through it, you can get here and home without a car, which is the smart move on a crawl. Keep the pace easy, drink some water between rounds, and let the walk connect one lively patio to the next.
