Bootlegger's Bar and Grill

Being new in town & after reading the reviews on here & other sites, we attempted to go to Bootleggers this past weekend... Apparently, it's a members only / private club. And women cannot bring in their purses. Glad we didn't travel far to get there, still wish we would've known...

While visiting Houston, skip the Menil Collection head straight to Bootlegger's for all your cultural needs.

I don't think we got 20 bucks' worth of clouded judgement, though. For that much money, three people should walk out of a place of this caliber with wobbly knees.

I'm a bit baffled by Bootleggers still. The drink specials are incredible, but we were here when there should've been something resembling a small crowd but only found four dudes who were so drunk they didn't sound like they were speaking English. Apparently there had been a hair feathering party there earlier in the evening, which would explain the 6-7 feathers hanging from our extremely slow bartendress's hair.

If I ever ended up in that part of Houston on a Free Big Buck Hunter night, you can bet your ass I'd be there and I'd get drunk enough to pretend I knew how to use that completely random stripper pole in the middle of the room. Otherwise, it's kind of a weird place.

Also, you can smoke inside? As a resident of a city that's had a smoking ban for a few years now, that's so weird, foreign, and a bit unpleasant to me.
