Entry No. 22 — the Houston file — filed under: art

Endless Bummer

A 700-square-foot room next door to Betelgeuse Betelgeuse, built by ten local artists led by Houston muralist Brian Dibala (Neon Thrash) as, in the bar's own words, a 'goth tropical purgatory' — dioramas, hidden occult easter eggs, and lighting that shifts through the night, somewhere between a tiki dive and a haunted diorama museum.

The move: Go Thursday through Saturday (it's only open those three nights, 5pm-midnight), hunt for the hidden details built into the booths and dioramas, and order from the tropical-but-unpretentious cocktail list at the 10-seat bar.
