Turkey Leg Hut pop up

November 8 (This weekend) +8

Harold's Chicken & Sports Bar · Washington Avenue Coalition / Memorial Park • $$

Turkey Leg Hut rises again at Harold's Chicken and Sports Bar every Sunday. Load up on their legendary stuffed turkey legs while catching the game, with R&B and hip-hop setting the mood.

Willow's Smokehouse & Tavern

Willow's Smokehouse & Tavern

South Central Houston • $$

Willow Villarreal is back with Central Texas barbecue in a century-old East End building. Expect smoky brisket, a gorgeous custom bar, and vintage charm that feels lived-in, not staged.

The Decoy

The Decoy

Northwest Houston • $$

The Decoy blurs the line between bar and backyard bash with sand volleyball, a sprawling covered patio, and room for the whole crew to spread out. Order from your table, let the kids loose on the turf, and settle in for a lazy afternoon that stretches well past happy hour.

Nickel City

Nickel City

EaDo • $$

This Austin transplant proves imports can be worth the hype. Nickel City pairs a super-chill neighborhood vibe with well-crafted cocktails, a deep whiskey list, and smash burgers that keep the kitchen humming late.

Frequently asked questions

How are these pubs in Houston chosen?

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.

Is everything here still happening?

Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.

How can Outgoing help me find something I’ll actually want to do?

Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Do I need an account to use Outgoing?

You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.

Is Outgoing free?

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
