Hipster hotspot The Big Top happens to be in an exclusively rambunctious family of clubs which include neighbors Continental Club, Sig’s Lagoon and the Mink. Posted on a vibrant block of Houston, the venue proudly lives up to its location and name by showcasing colorful circus décor adorned with vintage knick-knacks and dusty old-school signs. The lounge hosts live music (in a large bird cage nonetheless) ranging in sound from garage grunge to cover acts. Additional bonus includes a nearby Tacos-A-Go-Go for a quick bite before getting back to the freak show action.
