    Part honky-tonk and part Texas history museum, Goode’s Armadillo Palace gets the mood established right off the bat thanks to the towering armadillo sporting longhorns and breathing smoke right out front.

    Armadillo Palace brings the best of Texas together with one dance hall, two bars, three stages and a state-of-the-art kitchen serving indoors and out. It’s our tribute to the city that’s been so good to us for generations. Since crossing the big pond too long ago to count, the Goode family has dedicated itself to sharing the culinary convergence of our flavorful past: the salt of the Gulf, the soul of the South, the spice of the border and that sweet smoke of Texas. From spit-roasted chicken to grilled redfish on the half shell, our faous venison chili, rich with guajillo chilis from New Mexico, and the green chili pork empanadas.our dishes are steeped in tradition – and just as much flavor.
    Enjoy the sounds of live music 7 days a week. Grab one of the (real) pistol door handles, pass under a thicket of antler horns, and find a huge saloon-style bar with tooled leather barstools under a tin ceiling. One whole wall is lined with antique saddles; there’s a stuffed longhorn, deer head, or cow skull on every wall; and an antler chandelier hangs over the pool table. Display cases with Robert Earl Keen on the PA complete the honky-tonk heaven. It serves a full menu of Texas comfort food and is available for parties of just about every size.

    Since 1978, Numbers Nightclub has been home to Houston’s alternative and underground nightlife, becoming one of the longest-running dance and music venues in the United States.

    By 1980, Numbers transitioned as a more mixed, alternative dance club with the help of former Record Rack owner and DJ extraordinaire, Bruce Godwin, who started the club’s “new wave” nights.

    In a last-minute turn of events in October of 1981, the club showcased its first live band – Siouxsie & The Banshees. After the success of this historic concert, Numbers went on to exhibit an array of national and international live acts such as Ministry, Bjork, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Grace Jones, Nine Inch Nails, The Cure, and many many more.

    It was in 1987 that British video artist and Numbers DJ, Robert Burtenshaw aka “Robot” along with Bruce Godwin, took over Numbers and further built upon the legacy of the club as an accepting, all-inclusive stomping ground while exposing Houston to cutting-edge music on both the dance floor and the stage.

    In 1991, Numbers resident DJ, Wes Wallace, started “Classic Numbers” on Friday nights – a night dedicated to the industrial, goth, post-punk, new wave, and synth-pop bands that were played at Numbers in the ’80s. After a huge initial turnout, “Classic Numbers” has become a Friday night ritual for Houstonians ever since.

    Throughout the ’90s and 2000s, Numbers continued to be a music destination for major touring acts as well as local bands.

    Now in its 4th decade of operation under the ownership of Number’s longtime staff member Rudi Bunch, the club continues to offer weekly dance nights, special events, and occasional concerts in a come-as-you-are environment.

    What is The Secret Group?

    We are a promotional group started by 4 local stand-up comics with our own bar and showroom located in Houston, Texas. We put on local and nationally touring comedy and music acts.

We also have a full bar and a small wine selection. We do not serve food but sometimes have food trucks parked outside.

    Parking?!!!

    Do not park on Polk. They are now enforcing no-parking zones in bike lanes so you will be ticketed or towed if you are parked in a bike lane! There is street parking available on surrounding streets, some of which are metered, but all of which is free after 6 pm! There are a variety of pay lots in the area which are typically priced at $5-10. We recommend paying for a monitored lot over looking for a free spot a couple of blocks away for convenience and safety.
