They bring in some of best touring bands. Its possible to get there via METRO rail. The lawn has a real epic, music festival feel. The slow of the lawn is nice for viewing. Despite it being just a few minutes from downtown, it has the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere with the addling feeling of being in the middle of a construction site. I hope the neighborhood picks up. If you are seeing a band Upstairs that draws an audience of more than 20 people, good luck, because you will not be seeing them, unless of course you are very tall. I dont understand why the room/stage were built that way, but it is by far the worst viewing Ive ever had at a music venue. For a brand new venue, it feels like a few corners were cut to open on time and architectural choices were made that dont necessarily benefit the concert-goer.

One of my favorite mid sized venues in town. Compares very favorably with House of Blues, but with noticeably friendlier staff. Its new enough that that bathrooms are still clean, and overall its just a nice venue. There is a couple of small rooms upstairs that are awesome, a ballroom sized room downstairs with an elevated stage and barricade, and an outdoor amphitheater type set up that I havent seen a show at yet. Parking is pretty plentiful unless youre going to a huge show, and its usually free right across the street from the venue. Drinks are reasonable but far from cheap, although they have a full bar and great selection of beer. Go see a show here and judge for yourself, I bet youll enjoy it.

Second show Ive seen here where the sound is absolutely awful. The facilities for the lawn section seemed unfinished. I was here in April for the opening show and nothing has changed. Also, the staff at WOMH putting drink wristbands on patrons were littering everywhere. Who is going to clean up the thousands of little plastic wristband tabs off the ground? As a Houstonian I dont appreciate this behavior (or the sound system). The staff should be trained better than this, and littering should not be tolerated. Its disrespectful to the people who live in this neighborhood, and have to deal with the traffic, noise and now trash.

Nice place to hear good country music. I dont drink alcohol so I dont know about prices. Security was present both inside and out, along with employees who were helpful answering questions. We did park about a block away (secured parking $10) and walked to the venue. Weve been to 2 concerts there, first one was held outside which was very nice (sat on the hillside to watch the show, several food trucks close by, "portapotties" were actually clean). Second concert was inside, good acoustics, clean, maintained restrooms, helpful staff and good security. Well definitely go back for more concerts!

My wife and I went to this venue to experience our first concert VIP. We received no VIP treatment. We received no email saying when the meet and greet was, no pics with the band. What made it worse is when we got there, the staff was extremely unhelpful. We got no explanation, no apology, only received zero fu@&$ given to us. We found out about everything we missed from other VIPs, because the staff was worthless. We had been looking forward to this for months, only to see my wife in tears. Please see your bands in another venue, spare yourselves the disappointment.

A much smaller venue compared to The Woodlands Pavilion and there are no reserved seating area so expect to stand or to sit on the lawn when youre attending a concert here. The last time I was here (still under construction), they didnt have restrooms but they had porta potties. They serve beer but not food. However, there are usually food trucks that do. The worst thing about coming here? Parking. Parking is a nightmare and theres not really going around that. Its best if you Uber if youre not too far from this location.

Im 61 and been there done that all in Houston. We need the outdoor atmosphere to inspire new bands to get back to rock and roll. I mean not just the word, but the experience of mind, body and soul. WOMH can be that, we have to want it. Bring back Saturday in the park,people singing,people dancing, a real celebration. Bet you dont know what a kite is, or a frisbi, a snow cone? Wow wee as Chong would say. Who is that? Its America the free land to rock in. Come on WOMH Im waiting, Ill hold on loosely.

Had a rebelution concert here and they changed the venue,the very day before.They moved it indoors&they expressed on social media that there would be plenty of room (yea right) ppl were crowded and pushing.Some people got into arguments over the amount of space.Ruined my experience.They also deleted comments on their social media because of their disorganization and they didnt want anyone to see their passive aggressive statements/replies they made to customers. The concert was suppose to be outside too.

Great venue. Brand new and still smelled like pine and fresh paint. It was unfinished for several soft openings this summer and I could see how it being unfinished could offset some people. But its finished now and its a great venue with a great location. They could make their drinks a bit stronger though along with cheaper tickets at the door. I didnt want to pay the +$10 online service option so I bought them at the door only to find out they just buy them online for you....

Brett Robinson

Saw a show in the yard and the whole place seemed unfinished. Tents and stage seemed like they jabbed it from FPSF. Landscaping was really muddy and some areas had poor drainage. Hoping they give the place a more permanent vibe. Due to rain they had technical difficulties and the opening acts didnt get a chance to play. Would have been thoughtful if they announced the issues when they occurred so we didnt have to stand around for 2.5 hours without music.

Dan Owen

Tried to watch a show here. What idiot decided to send people yelling BEER! GET YOUR BEER HERE!!!! around a concert? This is a MUSIC show, not a baseball game. Very distracting and annoying. Sound quality was also pretty abysmal. Speakers sounded cheap, there was constantly static, and it practically sounded like the whole thing was configured for mono sound. Do not think Ill be back any time soon.

The lawn area really took advantage of the small quarters. The astro-lawn infront of the main stage is a great idea, as it provides a much better place to sit down and wont create mud pits. Excellent choices in food trucks (the thunder chicken fries and the chicken & waffle were wonderful). My only concern is that the astroturf will not last for many events and maintenance will become a problem.

Came here for Aggie Muster. It was a great venue for the event. Plenty of parking for that area, which is a huge plus, considering that area is sometimes iffy on parking. The building itself is very nice, and has plenty of room for a huge event like Aggie Muster. There are bars on every floor, which is very convenient. I imagine the other events that go on here are just as nice.

Great airconditioned venue inside. Stereo live needs tips on this. Ha. But stereos were great! Venue + bathroom are clean! Only thing I will say is maybe tell your bartenders to be more friendly and smile? All four girls didnt smile once when i came up like 3 times. Also, they charge whatever they want on those drinks. The same drink I got for $6 later it went up to $7. Wtf?
