911 Houston Painters

Catch one of your favorite musicians or bands at the Arena Theater, a legend in Houston's music scene. As one of Houston's oldest concert venues, the Arena Theatre is notable for its arena-in-the-round style and excellent acoustics that have showcased such legendary and notable performers as Willie Nelson, BB King, Tom Jones, Aretha Franklin, Smokey Robinson, Foreigner, REO Speedwagon, Clint Black, and Huey Lewis and the News. The intimate setting feels more like a private event than a concert venue. All seats are less than 60 feet from the stage, giving you the feeling that you are part of the show, not just a spectator. The stage revolves, too, so every seat in the house is an excellent one.

Within every good drink lies a great story that leads you to Dean's, where they offer a new look, a new team, great classic cocktails, and a genuine appreciation for Houston's past, present, and future. They pride themselves in the craft beers, specialty drinks, and classic cocktails made the old-fashioned way, all served in a friendly, comfortable atmosphere. So, join them for happy hour, special events, or to just enjoy classic cocktails in a stylish, cozy lounge among friends.
