Voodoo Queen

I’ve never been to such a cool place in H-​town before. I am a huge cocktail drinker and they managed to impress me! What I didn’t actually enjoy was that the place was so crowded, but that’s truly not what would ever stop me from visiting such a cool spot! Their awesome vibe and nice drinks are worth another try!

They have such a crazy selection of drinks, nearly impossible to choose from because you want to drink all of them! They have a really cool tiki bar and fish tank that’s really attracting! The place is very dark and has crazy non-​sense things hanging from all the walls. The crowd is pretty low-​key, and is a ‘looking for a good time’ sort of feel! I would recommend this place to anyone that is looking to branch out and not stick to their regular bar in town!

Great dive bar, if that’s what your looking for! The secret is, however, is actually not so ‘divey’. It is well stocked and has an original array of specialty craft cocktails on the menu along with quality food items and a low key vibe. Perfect for the daily after work get away, or a chill way start to your weekend.

The bartender seemed annoyed the last few times we have come. The place is never packed so you would think they would welcome every single person with a simple hello. Waited at the bar for a good 10 minutes to order a drink. Finished it and left to another establishment. Also, don’t download the TouchTunes app to use their jukebox. That was another waste of money. Clean up your act Voodoo Queen. I’m rooting for you, but if my next experience is like the past few times, I will not return.

First tiki bar I’ve ever been to. Small whole in the wall place, in the middle of nowhere. But may goodness the frozen drinks are good AF so was the food. Had a roast beef sandwich and the Gilligan frozen drink.

Woodoo queen is exceptional!
All you need to know about this spot is that their jukebox is free, crowd seems like being chill and the drinks are reasonably priced! Don’t you still want to visit it? Not only the drinks are cheap, but very solid! I am wondering how the bartenders can even make it so fast?
The bar has also a great location and the neighborhood is charming! I am definitely planning on landing there any time soon to check it out if the spot remains the same cool!

Tiny, gritty, hip place in 2^nd ward. Pool table and free jukebox. Few parking spots out front. Bartender was awesome — super friendly and accommodating. We didnt’t know what to order off of the menu so he asked what my friend and I liked and made us some yummy specialty drinks that were STRONG and not crazy expensive. Cool place.

Dank, grimey, grungy, surly, definitely not for amateurs: Voodoo Queen isn’t a place to take your tinder match, but it’s a great place to get totally plastered with your goons and gnosh on some badass grub, and some people claim the skull in the display case is totally a real human skull, and the real human skull in a bar in all of Texas. I don’t know if it’s true, but the Thomas Theorum states «If men define situations as real, they are real in their consequences,» and life is more fun when it’s a real skull, so it’s a real skull.
For about 11 bucks, you can get an entire coop of chickens brined, battered, and deep fried to perfection, which is good, because you’ve probably ingested enough colorful drinks with little straw hats that you didn’t realize had two whole shots of 151 in them, where you’re gonna need something to head off the alcohol to keep you sober enough to manage the rideshare app of your choice.
It’s a good place to make friends, too, because those colorful drinks with little straw hats that you didn’t realize had two whole shots of 151 in them tend to make people both gregarious and loud. Be warned: It has a tendency to smell like puke.
Come by. Have a drink that comes in a pineapple or a fishbowl. Celebrate one more week that The Man failed to grind you into dust.

So I’m checking in all over the city, and a dude named Shawn S. hits me up saying I should hit up Voodoo Queen. I pull it up on my Tricorder to see where it is. I’m unfamiliar with H-​Town and it seems far from where I am off Westheimer. Several hours later, La Chica and I ended up downtown, so once again, I whip out the Unilocal app and notice that it’s not too far. So we hit up Über and take a ride to a neighborhood that is shitty at best, I believe it was the 2^nd ward. Probably not a place crawling with out-​of-​towners, and that’s exactly why we got excited. This is the kind of place where one meets the real people of Houston. No swank. No pretentiousness. No convention center fist-​pumpers. Just greasy bar food, stiff drinks and low prices.
We plans for more bar hopping, but chilled with the door guy, Big Al, and his sister all damn night and closed the bar down.

This place was great the food the drinks the staff was all A-​1… we will be back… yall gotta try this place

I really wanted to like this place, with the brunch hangover special and all. Unfortunately there was no special to be had (or food), instead charged full price for a few basic drinks. I like the aesthetic and the general feel but I suspect its only good as a bar, and little else. Perhaps I will give them another chance, but at this point I prefer the sister company Moon Tower Inn.

As great as their jukebox is, they’ve run out of chicken and waffles for the last time. Their waffle maker was «broken» for months, then after that worked again they started running out of chicken before 3pm every Sunday for the past couple months. You know you have the demand, order the fucking supply.

I really dug this dive bar. The drinks were cheap and really awesome! I had a bad ass rum drink with pineapple that I’ll now have every time I go. Casual attire with multiple things to do for example pool, darts, galega, pac man, music, etc. I think they also had food, we just didn’t see a menu. We came on a Saturday and it was pretty crowded. The bartenders take quite a long time and didn’t have a ton of options of some certain liquors. Loved the atmosphere though and will definitely be back for more.

Based on the vibes of this place I’m sure it’s insane during typical bar hours. We came for the Saturday brunch special though and it was basically nonexistent.
The location: Dope, dark, and divey. This place was pretty rad with door (windows) wide open during the pretty day that we came. Good tunes were also playing.
The crowd: All seemed to know each other and seemed like good people for a bar at 12:30pm on a saturday.
The kitchen: wait… where’s the kitchen? No cook after an hour of being open and then no waffle maker or batter for breakfast.
The bar: didn’t catch the tenders name but she was just chillin around (as expected this early) and playing music from her phone and entertaining the few people there… she tells us that the cook is running late and that there’s no waffles for the special (waffle, eggs, beer, bloody mary, mimosa $ 12.95). So we waited and just order a mimosa and mary. Cook gets there and it seems like not much food will be served. which is fine so we go to close out… 12.95 just for the two… Woaaahhh. I get it, no special so normal price. but for two people to be expecting to spend about $ 30 on 6 drinks 2 waffles and 4 eggs… this price seemed wild since it was the bars fault… sadly we left no tip (sorry bartender you were cool) and vanished down to an uppity place with food serving the same morning cocktails for the same price. Would have even payed for the special with no waffle had we known.
Shouldn’t have to pay so much for a dive bar with no food at lunch time.

I’m so glad my cousin lives near this place or I would have never known about it. I think we came here after ditching Zumba. I’m not too sure, but this place is one of my favorite dirty little dives.
It’s hard not to love this place with a fish tank full of angry-​looking fish, a free jukebox, and a drink menu with names you wouldn’t be able to mention in front of your parents. There’s also food, but I prefer to get full from the alcohol here.
I normally get a whale’s vagina or a painkiller and drink another beverage after that before getting tipsy and trying to play pool.
The only two things I don’t like are the neighborhood and the restrooms. I think I probably check my car around 5 – 6 times while hanging out for a good two hours. Also, the restrooms kinda make you want to get tested for stds after walking in to them, but just try and take care of business before/​after you go there and things will be fine.

Barracuda feeding night (death to the goldfish) and great drinks at this tiki bar situated in second Ward. That’s all you really need to know to get you here. Drinks are price reasonable, crowd is pretty chill and jukebox is free! I played UGK (One Day) and noticed that there’s a diverse list of albums in the selection. Bartenders are fast and makes the drinks pretty solid. I hear that there’s booty bingo night too! I will have to land here one night to check it out. Nice neighborhood bar and I really enjoy coming here. I hope it remains the same, as I can see that they are really trying to gentrify the area. You know how that ish go!

Very eclectic place. Came here with some girlfriends for brunch on a Saturday. When I walked in I was like WHOA! This place automatically gave me that bride of chucky feel– small, dark, and some weird music playing. I had to look around and take it in for a second lol. We were seated and brought menu’s to order. I ordered the chicken and waffle (the chicken comes fried but I got mine grilled to be extra healthy lol). The waffle was good but the chicken lacked flavor. For a drink, some guy we met there ordered us a fish bowl which we shared amongst the 6 of us. It was good but strong! Not sure of their rules but please don’t attempt to drink it solo. The drink menu was LOOOONG so you will have plenty to choose from. The service was cool. Bathrooms clean. Music was on a jukebox. Pool table. I’d return if I was in the area.

Use to be the spot, now its hipster central. :/
Drinks are fantastic but prices are a bit discouraging not to mention on busy nights its hard enough to order a drink from the cliché man behind the counter with a five o’clock shadow or the butter face chick with a terrible attitude (not anyone specific, they’re all the same in my book)
Said it once and I’ll say it again, I have enjoyed Voodoo but never will I again…

Love this spot. Screams «badass»
Good punchy sweet summer drinks. Not for the prissy. Brilliant character

This is *the* place to be on a Tuesday night. All y’all 9−5ers who are like «but that’s when I sleep” — all right, stay home. Fellow odd-​hours folk, come on by for the $ 2 wells (including your choice of three types of rum), half-​priced po’boys (get oyster with pimento cheese!!), and all the free jukeboxing you’d like (seems like biggie plays at least once per hour)
If you’re a tiki enthusiast or just enjoy getting sloshy with overproof rum, you’ll love the selection. Also, the daquiris are the real deal. One and done… or three and glee, your call.
If you see me there on a Tuesday, meow at me and I’ll buy you a rum and pineapple. Real life.
