Comparison · checked 2026-09-03
Houston's after-work crowd splits two ways: Montrose, the Westheimer corridor of Cajun-Creole patios and Italian lounges — or EaDo, the east-downtown grid of beer gardens, soccer bars, and $3 rails. Same city, different freeway. Here is how the cited windows compare.
Montrose: the Westheimer corridor
BB's Tex-Orleans Montrose posts Voodoo Happy Hour Mon–Fri 3–6 plus $5 frozen cocktails all day Monday: $5 regular frozens, $5 glass of wine, $2 off draft beer, $3 domestic bottle, $4 import bottle, a half-price oyster dozen, $6 10ct hot 'n' spicy shrimp, $6 chips and queso, $8 boudin nachos, and $6 buffalo bites. Marmo posts Daily 3–6 at the bar, lounge, and patio: $6 La Gioiosa Prosecco, $6 La Fiera Pinot Grigio, $5 Peroni, $8 Absolute Vodka, $8 Beefeater, $8 Four Roses, $8 Olmeca Altos Plata, $2 oysters on the half shell, $5 polpette, $5 rigatoni alla vodka, $5 cacio e pepe, $8 Tuscan fried chicken, and $15 beef tartare. Montrose is the district for food with the pour: two oyster plays, both under one roof each.
EaDo: the east grid
Little Woodrow's EaDo posts Mon–Thu 3–7 and Fri 12–7: $3 select drafts, $3 wells, $5 select liquors, and $5 select shots. Pitch 25 posts Mon–Fri 3–6 plus Tue and Fri Pub Nights: select $5 beers, half off wine by the glass, and a $25 14oz ribeye Pub Night plate. A Rice Village third option sits west of both: Little Woodrow's Rice Village posts Mon–Fri 3–7 with $4 select domestics, $4 wells, and $3 house wines, while Sixty Vines Rice Village posts Mon–Fri 3–6 in the bar and lounge with $3 off 5oz select wines, $3 off specialty cocktails and brews, and $2 off shared plates. EaDo is the district for cheap rails and long Fridays.
