The debates never stop around The Loop Scoop campus. Since all of us are stubborn, we’ve taken to airing out our fights in the public forum. This is where you come in, dear Loopster. We need your help to figure out who wins. That’s why we created the H-Town Showdown. That’s why we need you to read and vote below. Who wins? Diesel Dive Bar or Shoeshine Charlie’s Big Top? It’s a clash of the faux-dive bars!

You might look below and think to yourself “The Loop Scoop was slacking last week.” Rest assured, the last thing we were doing was slacking.

As we are prone to look forward to the Easter holiday and everything that’s in store, let’s take a second to remember The Week That Was. Oh, so far we’ve come…

Adventure is brewing on this night. After a long week at work and a head full of rebellion, I take to the streets of Houston. With me, a friend who works in the restaurant industry with a rare Friday night away from the bustling kitchen. There’s no time to be wasted being waited on. We have already eaten a quick dinner of hot wings and with our check en route we need a plan.
“What about Diesel Dive Bar?”
“Where is that?” he asks. “The public has to certify you as a ‘dive bar,’ right? You can’t just throw it in your name.”
“There’s only one way to find out…”

Happy Monday to all. Hopefully the weekend treated you well, whether you went out to the Mutt Strut, First Saturday Arts Market or even the opening of The Orange Show. We’ll have a full scoop on the last one of those for you later this week. For now, let’s break down some of the notables of last week. A new bar graces our list this week and we revisit some old friends as well. You gotta remember your roots, right?
