By Dorothy Olson


One great thing about the south is the variety of cuisine available. Being so close to the gulf, whether resident or visitor, Mexican Food Houston TX is often a popular choice for those wishing to dine out. When looking for some of the best gulf coast seafood and Mexican seafood available, Galveston is only a short drive south of the city.

Whether perusing the historic Houston Heights, attending an art opening in the Warehouse District, going to a local book or magic store in the Montrose or hanging downtown for a free concert, there is no shortage of great restaurants in the area. For example, the Warehouse District is home to Last Concert Cafe, a rather historic Mexican restaurant, building and venue. While having won a number awards for having the best Mexican cuisine in the city, the restaurant also host live music most nights of the week.

The proprietor also produces special events throughout the year. Whether the often comic and festive Halloween celebration and costume contest, New Year's Eve Gala or annual Watermelon Festival, all events include great choices when it comes to food, drink and live entertainment.

Whether that be for an individual in need, or for those recovering from a natural disaster, the restaurant has been a mainstay for those wishing to help others. In addition, a local radio station has also been known to host a number of benefits at the venue.

Whereas, another local band Potroast has just celebrated a 20th year anniversary. While the Hightailers crowd was much more of a hippie crowd, Potroast seems to draw more college age fans. While those playing on other nights tend to change more frequently, the owner and management staff have always been open to those wishing to play a residency given the right opportunity.

Located in the Warehouse District which has recently gone through somewhat of a regeneration, the establishment has quite an interesting history. In the beginning, the building served as a brothel which was often visited by a local judge. To assure discretion, patrons had to knock on the red door to gain entry. As such, the restaurant still ask patrons knock on the red door to gain access by the doorman or other employees before entering the building. Although, there is now a side gate to the large outdoor area which serves as an alternative entry during special events.

While traditional in style, several dishes are named after past and present employees who created the dish by adding a few extra elements. While originally only serving beer and wine, the bar now has a liquor license and offers a full bar with a number of local microbrews and name brand liquors.

When bellying up to the bar, individuals can either try a frozen sangria from a machine or one of the many amazing handmade cocktails by one of the bartenders. While there are a number of restaurants and bars in the area, the food, drink and entertainment at Last Concert is something that should not be overlooked.
