Have the time of your life as you spend the evening at Houston’s happy place, where you can gather around and enjoy all the socializing and good feels at Electric Feelgood, where the décor is a throwback to the 90s style with neon signs, geometric paintings, and signs with smiley faces. Chill under the neon lights, where the experience is what you make it.
