Acadia

Very reasonable price on drinks.

Free parking and the best staff ever assembled under a single roof. You know, I've moved away. Yet, any thought of returning to the Space City is rooted around my return to the family I have at Acadia. Seeing Mandy, Jeremy, and Tommy. even if just for a few moments a year, helps keep the world spinning at the prefect angle... the seasons still come as expected... all is right in the world. No. I don't work there. I don't own a share in the company. But, this is still my Cheers, and I'm always glad I came. Update: it's been a year, but a visit to Texas wouldn't be the same without seeing a good live show and the crew running everything at Acadia. Always a good time, good music and a great pour.

The Lunara Viking themed show was amazing. Great sound. Cool venue. However, the female bartender was totally in the weeds. I asked for 3 bottles of water and would’ve tipped her $15 for them. She said “there are jugs of water and cups on the floor” I then said “do yall sell bottled water?” Where she then rudely SCREAMED at me “I SAID THERE IS WATER JUGS AND CUPS ON THE FLOOR” or something to that effect. To where the guy sitting at the bar in front of me looked at my friend and said “they sell bottled water..” …like I don’t want a small cup of water I’m going to spill in a jam packed venue that i also have to get up and refill every time I take a drink. It was a 4oz cup! Not even a 16oz solo cup. Lastly I wanna say the barback Forrest was SO POLITE. Any other time I’ve been there the bartender Mandy is nothing but nice. Wish she would’ve been working that night. Other girl needs a major attitude adjustment. If she kept that attitude up all night I would imagine it negatively affected her tips.

Sound system is loud and meh, usually a fun little crowd, good tacos around the corner. Nice place to see a little show.

I really do want to come back and check out metal bands that come to town but the fact that a music venue that allows smoking inside discourages me. I hate smelling like smoke and don't want any health problems from patron's bad habits I hope you consider changing this, otherwise I'll stick to Concert Pub, BFE, Pub 529, and elsewhere where they play metal bands I'm letting the city know about this since Houston has a city-wide smoking ban

Awesome place

Mandy is the best bartender in Houston, hands down. Mention slayer for a .0000001% discount!
