Old Quarter Acoustic Cafe is one of the most memorable live music venues in the Houston area, if not all of Texas. Owner Rex (Wrecks) Bell welcomes patrons to this intimate, non-pretentious corner bar, where the tunes rock and the drinks flow.
Artists like ZZ Top, Secret Agent 8, Grady Lee, JT Van Zandt, Sisters Morales, Richard Dobson & Lady Boyd, Don Sanders, the PC Cowboys, L'Amant, Freddie Krc, Jesse Dayton, Harlem Slim, Paul Sprawl, and Eden Brent are just some of the legendary talents that grace the stage weekly at this nightspot that always wows.
