We stopped by last night knowing this place would be pretty cheesy and it was. If you go with a group of friends, manage to get one of the tables up front (I think you have to come pretty early to do this) and drink a fair amount of alcohol, this place could be really fun. The performers are non-stop high energy entertainment. They belt out songs in Weird Al Yankovic style while the audience sings along. There are a variety of ways for them to relieve you of your money. They have a task wheel, where you get to embarrass one of your friends by paying the performers to spin this thing. You could be asked to pass gas (this site will not let me say what the board said) though the "ladies" who participated said that was the one they would not do. They didn't have a problem performing on their knees on a bottle that was lodged in some guys crotch. You can also pay the performers to have messages written on the mirror behind them. Your message stays until someone outbids you. The last one we saw was a $68 happy bday message. Then they played college fight songs and waved the schools flag around. Again, you can outbid someone to have your fight song played. Everyone there looked to be having a great time. It seemed like the kind of entertainment you would find on a cruise ship. Cheesy, but sometimes that can be fun.

I had so much fun at Howl At The Moon! We went to say bon voyage to my son, who was leaving for a military assignment in China. I had no idea that we were going to be completely amazed and entertained...we only planned to stay for a couple of drinks, but before we knew it, it was last call and we were saying goodbye to the entertainers as if they were part of my own family. Aside from the incredible collection of talent on stage (five piano players play piano, drums, guitar, bass, keytar...), we laughed until our sides hurt and sang old familiar songs as well as new stuff we hadn't ever heard before. Katie, our server was incredibly busy, but always present and attentive...she must have had a couple of clones running around, because, although the place was packed, we felt like she was our own personal server. We ordered a bucket of beer and a gigantic bucket filled with Long Island Iced Tea with enough straws for our party to share. We heard every decade, every genre, every artist and every style imaginable...even when we tried to "stump" the piano players, they were able to meet the challenge and more. I mean really...RAP at a piano bar?!?!! I wouldn't have believed it unless I had seen it myself. DO NOT BE THE LAST PERSON IN HOUSTON TO GET ON THIS TRAIN!
Pros: amazing talent, comedy, interactive experience, great service
Cons: line to get in, parking (valet is available)
