The Brewery Tap is a full service bar and have a wide range of adult beverages available. We like to keep a good selection of local Houston brews such as; St. Arnold, Karbach or Buffalo Bayou, as well as beers from around the USA and the rest of the world. We have been proudly serving St. Arnold's beer since August 1994, just a couple of months after they opened the brewery! Take note of the glass, a twenty ounce imperial pint. This means we serve you at least 25% (typically 40%) more beer than most bars. There is nothing to equal the ambiance of a British pub. The Brewery Tap has always been known that as a place where people can relax and be themselves, to take pleasure in company and enjoy the art of conversation. Here you will find a good-natured mixture of gossip, wit, conversation, debate and information, proffered with friendly and efficient service from the bar. Walk into any pub in Britain and chances are you will find fans gathered to cheer on their favorite soccer, rugby, or cricket team. In Britain, sport is a religion and the players are huge stars. It is a reason to gather in the pub like no other. That’s why gathering for the big game is something we’re proud to offer at Brewery Tap. So come and join us and watch all of your favorite sports. Or if you are feeling a bit more energetic, why not try your hand at a game of darts with the regulars?
The Alley Theatre is a Tony Award-winning indoor theatre in Downtown Houston, Texas, and hosts two stages. The "Hubbard" is the main stage with seating for 774; the more intimate "Neuhaus" seats 310. Nine towers and open-air terraces give the Alley Theatre a castle-like quality. Inside, a staircase spirals from the entrance vestibule to the second-floor lobby. A truly wide variety of plays have been performed in this theater.HistoryThe Alley Theatre is one of the three oldest resident theatres in the United States. Under the leadership of Nina Eloise Whittington Vance (1914–1980), the Alley Theatre first started in a “former dance studio with an opening on Main Street. A brick corridor led from Main to the back of the studio, hence the name Alley Theatre.” In 1948, early paying members scouted Houston for a new location for the Alley, finally landing on an abandoned fan factory on Berry Avenue. The Alley re-opened on February 8, 1949, with a production of Lillian Helman’s The Children’s Hour. In 1954, Ms. Vance brought in Albert Dekker to ‘guest-star’ in Death of a Salesman. The Alley then became a fully professional/Equity company.The Alley Theatre was invited by the United States State Department to represent the American Regional Theatre at the Brussels World’s Fair in 1958.In 1962, the Houston Endowment gifted land worth $800,000 and grants worth $2.5 million were awarded to the Alley from the Ford Foundation for the new building at 615 Texas Ave. In the summer of 1963, the theatre raised more than $900,000 from Houstonians. These funds helped the theatre grow from its modest beginnings into one of the most prestigious non-profit resident theatres in the United States.
