With all the new patio and deck bars opening within a 3 block radius I have grown to appreciate Big Star Bar a lot more. I have been going to Big Star as a last stop when coming back from Downtown or Midtown for over a decade and it never changes. Perfect dive/industry bar with solid cheap drinks and a large outdoor area. A perfect juxtaposition to the new "Patio bar" scene engulfing the area.
Loved goin for hei ma Chinese pop up. Got me a beer and a shot it was great.
Big star bar a local hang out place that hasn’t been infiltrated by all the new heights crowd still offers the divy galore that I have been missing lately. Still has a juke box and a nice size patio the bartender is amazing super friendly beers always cold what more could you ask for … oh that’s right the local tamale lady burrito lady or pizza and wing guy coming in to sell food. Plenty of parking and Dare I say it is one of the last surviving hidden gems in the heights.
It’s a gross dirty dive bar. A/c is 50/50 ok. Cool seating around the room. Ask for easy stuff or beer. Not a complicated drink place. Only real negative for me is the bathroom is disgusting. But it is a dive bar.
Best dive bar in Houston.Ample outdoor seating. Reasonable prices.Great music!
Cool and chill, hole-in-the-wall bar in the Heights. Pool table and large back patio.
Prepare yourself for a mystical experience! Great service, amazing ambiance.You're paying for more for the presentation than the drinks but well worth the experience.
Bartender is supercool patio is nice. Even on a slow night all you need is a conversation or 2 with the kids on the other side of the bar and you're good.
Had a blast with friends here. Easy going crowd of all ages. Laid back and lots of room out back.
Very friendly, nice area in the back with fire pits. Great place to have a drink.
