Bauhaus Houston

You can hear the heavy bass rumbling right through the pavement on Pease Street before you even reach the entrance. Line moves fast past security, and then you are stepping straight into a dark, pulsing room filled with lasers and strobe lights bouncing off concrete walls.

The sound system here is massive. Low frequencies rattle your chest while the crowd packs tight around the DJ booth to catch underground house and techno sets. It's hot, sweaty, and loud in the best way possible. People actually dance here instead of just standing around holding drinks.

Bartenders sling vodka sodas and craft cocktails at a rapid pace, so you won't wait long to grab a drink and get back to the floor. Lasers slice through the fog machine smoke while the rhythm keeps pushing past two in the morning.
