The list of things to do in Houston is long and wonderful. You’ve got great food, the theater district, the Space Center, and loads of cool spaces to grab a drink and enjoy some live music. Curious where to start? Well, here are a few of the first things to do in Houston.
Sawyer Yards
If you’re not sure what activities you’re looking for, Sawyer Yards is the perfect place to start your Houston adventure. Located in the First Ward and Arts District, the creative community has taken old warehouses and industrial spaces and transformed them into galleries, studios, breweries, and more. There’s plenty to do and see here, including a little live music.
Benny Thunders
You know those nights where the bartender is slammed and it takes ages to get a beer? That won’t be a problem at Benny Thunders, a self-pour taproom featuring beer, wine, kombucha, and small bites to pair with your laid back experience. Even pets are allowed—need we say more?
Sable Gate Winery
Interested in globally sourced, locally crafted wine? What about your own personal vintage and custom label? If you’re up for it, Sable Gate Winery is waiting for you. Picture yourself sipping your new favorite vintage while catching a little live music.
Mercantile Montrose
Whether you’re a long-time Houston resident or just passing through, Mercantile Montrose makes you feel like a local. You can grab an espresso at the bar, then wander around the specialty grocery aisles and pick up that perfect something for a snack or a meal later. And, you might even catch a little live performance while you’re there.
City Orchard
It’s the season of apples, so celebrate it with a nice cider. Harvested by Lake Ontario and served up in Houston, City Orchard’s cider is definitely on the list for things to do in Houston.
William Price Distilling
Last up on things to do in Houston? How about you treat yourself to a cocktail before the day is done? Vodka, gin, rum, whiskey, and specialty liqueurs are all made at William Price Distilling, the perfect pairings for the distillery’s bingo nights, free tours, and live events.
