Houston comes alive at night, with dives, cocktail bars, and nightclubs dotting the city. In our Houston Nightlife: Best Bars, we’ll cover the best night owl watering holes in each neighborhood.

Located near The Woodlands in southwestern Montgomery County, Magnolia was settled in the 1840s. It has gone by several names, including “Mink’s Prairie” or “Mink,” but today it’s known simply as Magnolia. In addition to being the home of Lone Pint Brewery, the city also hosts a stable of excellent watering holes.
