Barbarella will always be the dance club where you could have a great time to dance the night away without a care. Theres always all types of crowd coming to here because theres only so many big dance clubs in Houston where the drink is decent price, the light, the sound, and its moderately air conditioned building that all feels just right. If you get in before 12AM, there will be no door charge! Normally the Saturday night is 80s night so if you feel like some great 80s dancing time, you should make Saturday a Barbarella night. Then theres also New Noise night and sometimes theme nights on other days. The club is spacious as theres an elevated floor for people to dance on. However, you have to be careful because sometimes the floor may be wet due to people spilling drinks and it makes it very slippery especially youre wearing a less traction shoes. Theres also an outside patio where people can get some fresh air and a great view of the Houston skyline. You can always walk back inside as long as you got the black light stamp on your arm. As for water to quench your thirst, theres usually two big water dispensers near the back of the bar for you to self-serve. In the back is also a photo booth and a few lounge chairs along the side to sit down. If you come on other nights there will be different themes so it depends on your mood of dancing but over all I never had a bad time at Barbarella. Parking is always tricky in that part of town but as long as you see street parking that everyone else is parked there, you should be safe to park there as well. I would certainly recommend anyone who wants to dance all night long should go here first or last, depends how your night goes.

Cheap drinks, great dance floor, huge upstairs balcony with views of the city. Why am I not here every weekend? I dont like the music. They need new DJs... its a dance place and they only play songs that are fun to dance to every like 3rd or 4th song. I understand theyre trying to be cool and hipster but honestly its just not fun. Saturdays they play 80s music which I have grown to kind of hate, not sure why 80s music is so trendy. The last few times Ive been here its been pretty empty while Limelight across the street has a huge line so I know its not because of the location. I do want to give props to the bartenders and anyone who cleans up because my ID fell out while I was there and I was able to get it back the next day :) This place seriously has SOO much potential... I just want them to play better music.

July 2015 BY FAR the WORST business i ever owned!!! Most of the customers & employees were great. Problem was the crooks that I bought the business from. They committed MAJOR FRAUD!!!! I bought it in Nov.2010 and terminated the lease in Dec. of 2012. It was losing so much money that it had 0 resale value!!! --- It was losing even more money, before the con artists sold it to me!!! Same crooks still own the building,and land. Tenants and/or business name has changed 2 or more times, since I had it!!! It was called Status, when i was there (see sign on google). Any of you former customers and employees who read this -- THANK YOU Very Much for your patronage and work, etc.,,

I lost my phone here. Good fing luck trying to recover it. I tracked its location back to Barbarella. I went for a straight week every night hoping to recover it. Theyre never open, forget calling the phone number listed (even during business hours to get a hold of someone) NO email to send mgmt a simple request. Waited a whole week to finally catch them when theyre actually open, and the staff were as helpful as dementia patients. If you want to go to a redneck af bar that acts like a posh LA club but as stupid as white ocean at burning man, well folks, you found your place- smokn meth with Houston tweaked behind a dumpster (barbarella) Rant over.

Dance like nobody is watching. This place is filled with interesting people, and you can be one of them! Music videos play on the screens alongside the music. Each night has themed music. Friday nights are New Noise - primarily indie/dance-pop (Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem, MGMT, Crystal Castles, etc.). Saturdays are 80s night, and it gets packed. Cheap drinks. You are sure to see several DFMO (dance floor make outs) on the light up dance floor. $5 Cover starting at midnight. Bar closes at 2, but keep dancing till 3am. This place is a great end to the night.

This is my absolute favorite place to get out and dance in Houston!!!! Hands down! Ive never had a bad night at this place and I love dragging my friends here. Drinks are reasonably priced and music is always good! I wish they would change up their theme nights sometimes but I still always enjoy them. 90s music on Thursdays, indie music on fridays, and 80s on Saturday nights. Also good to know that it doesnt really get busier until midnight if youre wondering why its emptier before then. Love love love this place though!!!!!

Let me first say this: I am NOT a club person. I hate waiting in line at clubs, bottle service and dudes in shirts that theyre about to Hulk out of. Its just not my scene. With that said, I feel like this "club" was built for me. Incredibly laid back atmosphere where everyone is welcome to be themselves. Youll see everything from boat shoes to no shoes and the dance floor is one of the best around. Come out on 80s night or 90s night and you wont be disappointed.

This place is a whole in the wall. They only played 80s music in here the whole night. First time and last night. My cousin and I were over dress. Chicks in here wearing 80s ruffle prom dress with tennis shoes and girls wearing leg warmers and its like 75 degrees outside. This place is a dump dont was your time. Never again will I come to this raffle as dump. And let me not forget the expensive parking 20 dollars. Although the cover is 5. Dont waste your time

Barbarella is probably still my favorite bar to go to even after a couple of years coming here. The fact that there are no pretentiousness and I dont have to dress up to come here is awesome. You combine that with reasonable drink prices, awesome music, lit up dance floor, and dancing; I always have fun at Barbarella. Thursday - 90s night Friday - New Sound Saturday - 80s night Coming to Barbarella on any of this night will almost guarantee you a great time.

Im visiting my family and was brought out by my cousins. The music is great, its a little small but it works somehow. We had a really great time. The reason Im rating this 2 stars is because this past Saturday, after last call, I went to use the ladies room but ended up slipping and falling in the handicap stall of the womens restroom because the floor was soaked. This is a major issue that needs to be resolved before someone gets seriously injured.
