Emmit’s Place

After dropping in on a Saturday it was well worth it to hear live music tonight. The band, «O.D. And the House Rules» had it all and was so entertaining. OD makes you feel absolutely divine and the band has such charisma. Wonderful Saxophone and Keyboards!!! They will absolutely make your weekend Rock!!!

I love coming here for the blues on Monday nights. There is so much talent in Houston. And that means a lot since I am from Austin. I will keep returning. The bartender is super friendly and the drinks are cheap!

Emmit’s can be a good place. Problem is a lot of riff-​raff.
A drug pusher attempted to sell and then followed me to the car. I said no, rolled up my window, and he persisted to push the drugs. Really concerned about my safety.
There were other times, when other riff-​raff were harassing. Too loose of an atmosphere that tends to attract criminals. I’ve been to many bars with patrons with shady backgrounds, but they were kept in line – Emmit’s didn’t.
Overall, a good place musically– and otherwise druggy, illegally smokey, and potentially dangerous place.

First time hangin out in Houston. Too bad the rain drove the crowds away. But it enraptured all of what neighborhood bad is. If you’re looking for gimmick, you looking under the wrong rock!!! This is the type of place you can bring your lady, your crew or your parents! Good wholesome grown up fun.
There are jello shots, cheap beer, and varieties of cocktails. Not to mention, there’s a pool table. And an opportunity to drink your cares away while sweating your outfit out to some Zydeco swing!
When I come be k to this town, I have to reserve a table.

Walking into this down home, rustic venue reminds you of rocking on the porch swing of a Victorian style plantation drinking a glass of ice tea. Tucked away behind a shopping center and off the main road, Emmit’s Place is not the easiest to find. Not the friendliest bunch of regulars in the world, but upon entering you’ll realize the curtains don’t really match the drapes: outside is southern country, inside is like a blues speakeasy. You’ll feel a slight air of history when you gaze upon the olé timey posters of classic blues and jazz musicians coupled with the intimacy of the «cozy» stage tucked in the back. Drinks are priced fairly, but the open mic on Monday’s takes you back to those early Ray Charles days when it was about a song telling a story that only a raw, powerful, yet gutteral voice that has been through the blues can relay. Overall, Emmit’s Place is a great place for the experienced, blue collar American to relax, throw back a jack and coke and let the southern sounds of the house band take you back to the days of old

The definition of a neighborhood bar. Pop in for a drink when you are around South Post Oak and 610 or make a night of it with friends. Did i mention the live music! From Blues, Rock to Zydeco this place has the perfect set up for live music. Houston acts and well as regional ones.
Since this is a bar, the drinks are nice and stiff!

My husband and I love this place, we go there fairly often to get a bucket (or two) of Lonestar ($ 10!). Emmit’s is a CLEAN, cute neighborhood bar that is chilled out and fun during the week and has great bands on the weekends.

This is a FUN and casual atmosphere with GREAT LIVE MUSIC and you can dance and visit and the owner is FANTASTIC! She always has great bands and good drink specials and FUN going on! It is tucked away off of S. Post Oak but it is a great lil’ place to have BIG FUN!!!
