Houston, we have a winner!

Things I look for in a bar:

Ambiance? Check
Strong drinks? Check
No Cover / No Line? Check
Douche-bag / Pretentious Free? Check
Nice bartenders? Check
PARKING LOT! CHECK!!!! CHECK!!!! CHECK!!!!!!

I had a great experience at Nouveau Antique Art Bar from the moment we parked the car in its own private lot.

I was curious how this bar would fare on a Tuesday night and was surprised by the amount of cars present outside.

We proceeded to walk in to what I instantly proclaimed "a fantasy wonderland of amazingness" (all while jumping out of excitement). I followed up by saying "I WILL have my next birthday party here." (which is not till December).

Tiffany lampshades in all sorts of shapes, sizes, designs and colors dawned the ceiling and walls of this eclectic drinking establishment. I couldn't pick my favorite if I tried. There were plenty of antique couches and booths, but we chose to sit at one of the several cocktail tables near the bar.

Flat screens lined the walls of the bar area so your man can watch the game while you still feel like you are on an intimate date (this bodes well for my situation).

I was also surprised by the HUGE space. I would love to feel the vibe of this bar on a packed Saturday night. This would make a great space for live music performances (I hope they look into this).

Bonus! They are a supporter of the local arts scene and will give you a drink on the house before or after an event or a performance (that day) when you present your stub. EXCELLENT!

Bravo, Nouveau Antique Art Bar! I look forward to seeing you evolve!
