Guidebook for Houston
Drinks & Nightlife
Axelrad is one of Houston's most notorious hang out spots, during the day it is really relaxing to have a beer on a hammock or just have brunch, on weeknights they have live music, and movie nights, and on weekend nights it becomes more of a bar. Adjacent to the beer garden/bar is a pizzeria called Luigi's which has excellent pizza, chicken wings and gelato!
