Imagine sitting in an intimate music venue with a maximum of 100 seats - all with excellent sight lines to the stage - and seeing the top international/national/regional/local (mostly) acoustic acts perform. Imagine seeing some of the world's best songwriters strip away their bands and play their music so you can actually hear and absorb the words. The Duck is a club that's beyond trendy, snobbish or cultish - it's about the music, the food, and a sense of community. There's not a better food/beer & wine menu at a music venue anywhere, Houston or otherwise. They have an outstanding and knowledgable wait staff and a great deck for after work or afternoon libations. It's no wonder they have so many "regulars." The Duck is not only Houston's most vital venue, it's a treasure.
Pros: best live music, great food, no attitudes
