They need to power wash in there. It reeks of piss and vomit. I know its the Dirt bar but it didnt always smell like a urinal. A good scrub of the concrete should do it. Im begging you.

Really busy at work, so AI wrote a review for me: Dirt Bar is a hidden gem among Houstons dive rock and roll bars, and its a true testament to the citys bar scene. When it comes to drinks, Dirt Bar truly shines. Their Titos sodas are a work of art, expertly mixed to perfection with just the right balance of Titos Handmade Vodka and soda. Each sip is a revelation, a refreshing concoction that hits all the right notes and keeps you coming back for more. And lets not forget about their Bud Lights - ice-cold and served with a side of rock and roll attitude. These beers are the perfect accompaniment to a night of music and revelry, and the bartenders at Dirt Bar know just how to pour them for maximum enjoyment. Despite its dark and grungy ambiance, Dirt Bars staff is the shining star of the show. Friendly, engaging, and always up for a chat, the team behind the bar exudes a warmth that belies the bars rough exterior. They are knowledgeable about their drinks, quick with a recommendation, and always ready to make your night a memorable one. Plus they are very good looking. In conclusion, Dirt Bar is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience a dive rock and roll bar like no other. With the best Titos sodas, ice-cold Bud Lights, and a staff that goes above and beyond, Dirt Bar is a true hidden treasure waiting to be discovered.

i came in here before never once I.d served & everything was great. came in there the other day, lady ask for my i.d i did not have it on me, i had a photo of it but she wouldnt accept. I told her to ask the dude who had already served me before without providing my I.d & she said no. i waited 2 hours & watched them not ask ANYBODY for an ID. NO ONE ELSE BUT ME. so i asked the dude why they are only i.ding me & he didnt i.d me last time he said its because he knows everybody else that was there which he did not. i asked him why he didnt i.d me last time he said he trusted that i had an i.d on me okay so why you didnt trust i have an i.d this time. It was very rude, i felt it was because i was african american.

The girls, bartenders were great until I needed my phone charged. The bar needs to have charging ports for customers or charging stations behind the bar. This is a nessessity for your patrons to stay longer and spend more money. What will it cost you. Its minuscule. Get with it Houston.

Cool little dive in downtown Houston, right across from House of Blues. Good spot to pop in for drinks before or after a concert. They don t serve food and are generally not very busy so the atmosphere isn t great. Good service and reasonably priced drinks. Not a place I d go out of my way to visit though.

Best Rock bar in town... nothing clever or extraordinary about it, just a room with an oval concrete bar in the middle but yet something about it keeps you coming back. Great staff from the regulars to the guest bartenders always quick and friendly. Atmosphere is a rock vibe! The place to go after a downtown concert. Get the jack and coke from one of the Veronicas and take a picture with Ace costume Jack himself. Just a cool and chill hangout and a must visit during their halfway to Halloween yearly event.

Interesting bar for downtown. Very comfortable atmosphere but pretty dead for 8:00 on a friday. I would imagine it gets busier when there are concerts and things going on downtown. Service was quick and we were able to sit at the bar. Gothic style atmosphere and decent metal Style music. I would go again.

Absolutely had an incredible time tonight! Taylor was great but she should try and smile more. Music was perfect, lighting created a very sinister ambience that I felt was well suited to the dive bar vibe. Definitely will remain a regular here. If you are in the market for THE BEST Long Island ice tea, Taylor is your girl! She makes the best I ve ever had. She was also great with her layered shots that she handcrafted for us! Thanks dirt bar fam, 222 for life. Don t tell your friends.

Careful with your cards here, this place is scummy and scammy. The puffy faced bar tender triple charges for the same drinks. I came in with a group of co-workers and my boss put down a card for our drinks without letting us know. While we were ordering, the puffy face bartender kept charging us for our drinks. Sometimes saying others hadnt paid for their own when they had. We ended up paying for some drinks 3 or 4 times. This place is terrible.

Its very millennial oriented! Im 47 and I couldnt chill here!

So at first stubborn into this bar I got that underground industrial feel. They were playing new wave music and everything. By 10 o clock the music completely changed. It turned into your normal regular night club spot. My music taste is very eclectic however when I m going into a metal bar/industrial bar/new wave etc completely changing the genre of music really throws you off.
