Houston Medical Center

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.

Challenge your friends and family with a few games at 810 Billiards & Bowling, where you can appreciate a fun and casual atmosphere where everyone feels welcomed and relaxed. As you relax, try your hand at a game of chess, bowling, bocce, billiards, table tennis, foosball, darts, or perhaps shuffleboard is more your speed. Need to re-energize? Try out the varied menu of appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, flatbread pizza, quesadillas, tacos, fries, wings, salads, comfort food, and desserts to keep you refueled to continue having fun.

Grab some cold water, ice cream, and milk and get ready as you boldly go where many have dared to go, the Hops N Hot Sauce Festival, where hot sauces, salsas, peppers, spices, chili mixes, wing sauces, and all things hot and mild are waiting for you to taste. Participate in the Hot Pepper Eating Contest, enjoy the free photo booth, taste samples of spicy foods, drink fresh craft beer, enter the Pickle Eating Contest, and enjoy free giveaways and free face painting fun.
