Drinks & Nightlife
Even though it's right across the street I rarely went here. Back in my day this was a frat bar, and back then frats were definitely not cool, but my understanding is it was a busy place.

OK, yeah so a dude got murdered here on New Year's day a few years back, but it's the closest pool hall and the vibe is really not scuzzy considering. There's a karaoke night (not my thing, but FYI).

Now this is where it was at! Coffee and various coffee drinks and pastries next door. I really can't recommend one thing because it was all good.

1702 George Bush Dr EGood, cheap Chinese food delivered to your door. I liked the sesame chicken quite a bit.
Their buffet may be small but it's inexpensive and the items are much better quality than the other Chinese food buffets in town (there are a LOT of Chinese food buffets in town).

Need a haircut? Go here and ask for the owners son, Andrew. He's young but he's good at what he does. I wonder if they still have the $8 corps haircut.

Yeah there's a SPEC's right across the street, but don't be a douche by supporting corporate America. JJ's was here before I moved there in '96 and deserves our support. Besides JJ's is cheaper.
