UPDATED: Pearl Bar Visited By Comptroller Saturday Night

Wow...

Funny.. all the people calling Washington patrons douchebags, obviously are losers themselves.

Well...If Wsah Ave is really struggling they can blame it on the BLATANT racism on that street...if they treated folks with respect people people will always be there....but...we'll see...

Douchery can be located between Kung Fu and Brixx On Washington

there werent douch bags in Pearl bar, Just a bunch of east side trash with coke problems

Arcade fire and the hives played Maryjanes

All the Douchebags flocked to boheme on Friday and Saturday nights.

In answer to the question...which no one has really... no it's the demise of Pearl Bar and Washington is on it's way to being an Upscale Restaurant and Bar Scene...like it or not!!!

Pay your bills and keep your thrills.

good, I hope the douchebags left the city

Ha. Ha. - Nelson

mary janes's.....that takes me back!

Good!

If they're done with Washington Ave, can we have it back please? I want to go to the Vatican and the Shimmy Shack.

If you guys are done with Washington, can we have it back, please?

I want to go to shows at the Vatican and the Shimmy Shack. 

Keep the douches on Washington so I know where to avoid them.

good riddance. now to get rid of the rest of the asshats and get some rock n roll happening in that area again. i miss the days when washington was shady as opposed to douche-laden. someone please open a sleazy rock n roll bar...the rest will take care of itself.

no, the demise of washington would be terrible! it's a flytrap for the douchebags. if we lose that, they'll move on to other parts of the city

The demise of Washington took place a loooong time ago when it was invaded by all of the douche bags. Looks like they'll have to find a new place to fist pump...

Rulez.

Let's hope.

the demise of "Washington Avenue" would be a very good thing for this city. Too many douches with dragon shirts.

TABC should have their hands slapped for raiding the bar on Saturday night. The money they took will NOT cover the cost of the overtime pay for the officers nor will it improve their image ti the custimers

Austin, I linked to a site with all the cool shows Mary Jane's had there. Did you get to see that link? The Ozone one is rad too.

where are all the HOUSTON DOUCHEBAGS going to be at on weekends?? hopefully not on the Westheimer / Montrose area..... WE DONT WANT THEM THERE !!!

The place used to be Mary Jane's, the site of many a cool show. There was a time when that stretch of Washington had a number of great music venues - not anymore. Don't worry, when the douchebags finally completely abandon that area, those sorts of venues will return.

Wonder what took so long. That part of Washington has been dying since The Lot started slowing down. Sucks, I used to really like the Lot, before all the ghetto people started going in. The staff was freaking great there too. Pearl bar, I always thought it sucked. Was cool when they had the music award's shows up and down those bars though.

You'd think with all the additional tax revenue generated by the Washington Ave businesses the city would encourage improvement.

Now THIS is what comptrolling is really all about. Thumbs up.

And the entertainment district, painintheassment district full of douchebags and suburban tourists. That bone was picked clean long ago.

Washington has grown past the capability of the neighborhood(s) too many bars, not enough anything else.

Yes jimi, if only they had more parking, it wouldn't ended up like every other houston entertanment district ever.

Jessy Bowman Check this out.

Think Washington Avenue has potential to be decent if they get all of the quick $clubs/bars out of there.

Answer: Washington Avenue has been terrible for a while now

Bad area for an entertainment district. Not near enough parking, narrow streets, and not a single hotel.

If there's anything to evolution, three years from now all those nouveau bars will be gone, replaced by taquerias and adult book stores, like Washington used to be.

Same with Salt Bar. I remember our brouhaha with the songsters about that stupid open mike night they had there.

Apparently, one-size-fits-all trendiness is no longer trending upward.

I went in to Pearl one time when it was too flooded to get down my street. That's about it. : )

That bar sucked anyway.

HOnestly, what possible reason was there for EVER going to Pearl Bar?

I helped the owner of that building at my job last week, and she said a restaurant was going to open in that spot.

It's been taken over by hipsters?
