West Alabama Ice House on West Alabama at Hazard has poured cold beer since 1928. Open-air cinderblock walls, picnic tables on a gravel lot.
TipOpen daily; the front-yard tables fill on cool evenings. Cash works fastest, the beer fridge takes precedence over cocktails, and dogs run free.
Poison Girl on Westheimer is a Montrose dive with a deep whiskey shelf, walls of vintage horror posters and a back patio strung in lights. Open every day.
TipThe pinball gallery in the back room takes quarters. Whiskey list runs three pages; the bartender's pick beats most menu choices on a packed Friday.
HiFi opened May 2025 on the mezzanine of The Finn downtown food hall, modelled on Tokyo's jazz kissas. Vinyl only, rotating selectors, Pan-Asian small plates.
TipClosed Sunday through Tuesday. Wednesday is the quieter session; Thursday through Saturday push to 23:00 with full DJ programming.
Off The Record on Main hides behind a vinyl-shop facade. The listening lounge stocks stacked vintage speakers, framed gold records and hip-hop memorabilia.
TipOpen Thursday through Sunday only, 20:00-02:00. The record-shop entrance is the door; ring the bell and the host opens the back room.
Donna's opened Thanksgiving 2025 on White Oak in the Heights. Bobby Heugel and Jacki Schromm fitted a vintage stereo with reel-to-reel and turntable.
TipOpen daily 14:00-02:00. Album-listening nights run on select Thursdays; quiet conversation is the room's default rather than dance volume.
