Revised review: we had a great time here, the music was amazing, and the staff were great. But the lady at the door (who was very nice, by the way) forgot to tell us that there was a difference in price in the cover charge if you pay cash or credit card. When I tried to let the company know, I got an incredibly nasty, petty, immature reply. I tried to let them know what was wrong. The person refused to give me their name even though I asked who I was messaging with. Incredibly unprofessional. I will not be going back. It's such a shame. A simple apology and show of appreciation for my business would have kept me a happy customer. It's a test case in self-sabotage.

Staff is so nice and helpful. As a welcome gesture, they served welcome drinks for special occasion.

Great old-school dive bar and a definite place to visit. Supposed to be the oldest operating bar in Houston.

Awesome bar that I've walked by for years but never tried until the other night. Drinks are great and the bartenders are top of the line! I will be back, soon (maybe tonight)!

We had an AWESOME time here! Atmosphere was great, the people and bartenders were so friendly and attentive, and the entertainment was phenomenal! Scotty B.is an amazing singer and keeps things lively by mixing it up! He was very versatile with his music selections and sounded great! Cool dude!

Really cute place, there was a cover for a live band that wasn't very good. I ordered an old fashioned and it was also pretty bad. Wouldn't go back.

Had a wonderful experience with great atmosphere and drinks. Scotty B playing classic cover songs keeping the guest entertained was amazing. Will come back again!

Place was dead which was weird cause across the street the other bar had a good crowd. Didn't even bother to go inside.

Weird atmosphere but the decor is cool. Perhaps we would have had a different opinion of the place if the bands had already started performing when we were there. Without them, it was just very sterile.
The gentleman behind the bar did buy my graduate niece a celebratory shot, so that was nice.

This place is the oldest lounge in history it smells like it and they charge to watch the band. The best part was the lady singing from France. Nothing else to say. I won't return.

Came here to listen to some jazz. Was a good time overall and really enjoyed the music. The cover charge was somewhat strange for such a bar, more so since no table service and waiting to get a drink took a bit.

Definitely will do again

Leon’s Lounge boasts of being the oldest bar in Houston. I felt like I went back in time when we walked in and had a seat. It was nearly empty at first, but a crowd eventually gathered around the old fashioned bar. The decor gave it a cozy feel that made you feel like you were in an old movie from the 50’s. There is also a stage area and other seating away from the bar if you want your own space. We’ll be back again some time soon.

The bartender is breaking the law. I went there last night for jazz night to meet up with my niece (which is currently 20 but wanted to go see jazz) when I got there she was already intoxicated with her underaged friends! This is unacceptable the young man at the bar never checked the ID at all. Definitely need to call somebody about this. Idk his name but he doesn't need to be serving alcohol.
