Visiting

Where are you?

1519 Fulton St, Houston, TX 77009. Just north of downtown in the Hardy Yards part of Near Northside.

Open in Google Maps →

When are you open?

Monday and Tuesday we're closed. Wednesday 3pm–10pm, Thursday and Friday 3pm–midnight, Saturday 11am–midnight, Sunday 11am–10pm.

The bar at the top of every page tells you whether we're open right now, so you never have to work it out.

Where do I park?

Side grass lot to the east of the building. Street parking is free at weekends and after 6pm on weekdays.

The back lot is closed during concerts — so on show nights, aim for the side lot or the street.

Can I bring my dog?

We love dogs. As long as they're cool and on a leash, bring your puppers. There are dog treats and water bowls behind the bar.

Are kids allowed?

Kids are cool, bring 'em. Two things to know:

  • The front taproom is 21+ after 9pm.
  • That doesn't apply to concerts — but children aged 6 and up need their own ticket, and everyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian with them.

Eating & drinking

Is there food?

Food trucks daily. You're also welcome to bring food in with you, including into the showroom.

Can I bring my own drinks?

No outside drinks of any kind. The bar has beer brewed here in the building, plus wine, cider, seltzers, "Hooch" cocktails, water and a pile of sodas.

Do you take cash?

No — we're card only. Physical card or tap to pay both work, at the bar and at the door.

Worth knowing before you set off, especially if you were planning to hit an ATM on the way.

At a show

What can I bring in? (Bag policy)

There's a bag check at the door.

  • No backpacks, and no purses larger than 14″ in any dimension.
  • No weapons of any kind, including mace. As a permitted alcohol establishment, Texas law prohibits firearms on the premises, licensed or not.
  • No outside drinks. No large signs.
  • No video or audio recording beyond your phone.
  • No illegal or illicit substances of any kind.
Do you have a PA and a stage?

Yes — live music and comedy run regularly, on a full PA in a showroom that’s separate from the front taproom.

Inquire for the full spec — email info@badastronautbeer.com and we’ll send it over.

Are tickets refundable?

No refunds, all sales final. Ticketing fees and taxes apply both online and at the door.

Some shows are put on by outside promoters and sold on their own ticketing site — those are marked on the calendar, and their terms are the ones that apply.

What time should I turn up?

Every show on the calendar lists its own doors and start time. They vary a lot — some matinee-ish festivals start at 4:30pm.

Booking & hire

Can I reserve a table?

Tables are generally first come, first served. For bigger groups we can reserve — that's worth an enquiry.

Can I hire the space for a party?

Yes, and you don't have to take the whole building. You can book a section of the front taproom, the whole front taproom, or the showroom — the price steps up with the space.

Do you do weddings, markets, photo shoots?

All of those, plus birthdays, showers, company parties, watch parties, art shows and concerts. If it fits in the room, ask.

Still stuck?

Ask a human. We answer both of these.
