House of Blues Houston

Downtown shows, Gospel Brunch and folk art

A downtown music hall and restaurant with three rooms for shows, a members' lounge and a Sunday Gospel Brunch.

Directions ↗Official site ↗

House of Blues anchors the GreenStreet block downtown, a short walk from Toyota Center and Discovery Green. The main Music Hall books touring rock, metal, Latin, hip-hop and comedy, while the smaller Bronze Peacock room handles more intimate shows and the Foundation Room serves as a members' lounge. The restaurant is worth a visit on its own, with walls covered in Southern folk art, and the Sunday Gospel Brunch is a Houston tradition for birthdays and out-of-town family. Fall 2026 shows include Rodrigo y Gabriela (Oct 2) and a metal double bill of Arch Enemy and The Black Dahlia Murder (Oct 12). It is easy, central and reliably fun.
