Best Live Music Restaurants in Downtown

Birraporetti's was an excellent choice for us! Its location was perfect for us to eat and then scoot across the street to the Houston Opera to see our show. The food was awesome, very tasty and healthy portions. The service was good - as the restaurant got crowded, we, of course, didn't see our waitress too much. Seemed like they might have been short-staffed, which we understood. Our waitress was friendly and kind and offered good options. All in all, we recommend Birraporetti's to anyone, especially to anyone attended a performance across the street. Kudos to the management and staff at Birraporetti's for offering such amazing food choices in a very nice atmosphere.

An Icon restaurant to the Houston area. I loved the Lobster Bisque and the Lamb Chops I had. Bar service was great and loved the live music

It’s IN the Hotel! We got lost trying to find this restaurant. We came when the main restaurant area was closed but even with the bar experience you could still order dinner. The food and the service was really nice! I imagine the typical restaurant area has an even better atmosphere.

How this only had a 3.9 rating on Open Table when we booked, I'll never know. The restaurant itself was absolutely unique and fantastic. It was unusually inexpensive, especially for that type of restaurant. The food was incredible. The only downside was the small portions- so think 'super fancy restaurant with small portions', but honestly I just ordered a second helping and it was great. Two of us, with drinks, under $100, including tip. We were greeted with Champaign for my wife's birthday. Once caution: the check in process is SLOW because they take you through a metal detector, get your name and ID and then send you up in an elevator two by two. Takes a bit to park in the parking garage across the street too (which is $22- city garage I think, or private). The Foundation Room is on the street level, so don't go to the big House of Blues sign and to the 3rd floor like we did. One other piece- there is NOT live music. There is dinner, then there is a separate show that is booked separately. That wasn't overly clear when I booked. BUT, as a dinner venue, it was a home run. 5.0 all the way.

Restraurant perfect to grab a quick bite before concert. Wish menu offered a wider selection.
