Wayside

Wayside sits in Houston's East End, and its 13 listed venues are mostly classic bars and lounges, with a single speakeasy-style spot, The Compound, standing out from the rest. Names like Curvas Y Copas and El Puma's Cantina Grill and Inn reflect the area's strong Latino cultural identity. It's a compact, locally-oriented scene rather than a big night-out destination.
