Pearl Bar moved into the old Pearl Bar on the Washington Avenue strip in 2013, giving women who love women a place for a laid-back party in Houston. Lesbian-owned, it hosts live music, guest DJs and special events that might include Lesbian Bar Olympics (think beer pong, flip cup, pool, human hungry hippo and dildo toss), pajama parties, steak night-bingo nights or Feminintendo video game nights, almost always accompanied by drink specials. There's a massive patio out back and plenty of TV screens to catch a game. Although largely catering to a female crowd, everyone is welcome, and there's a spotless men's room to prove it.
