Not only is Axelrad the best bar in Midtown; it’s arguably the best bar in Houston, period. For starters, there's a hammock garden, which is reason enough to visit and catch a nap on a Sunday afternoon. The venue shares a space with Luigi’s Pizzeria, which is a nice bonus. As for the beer menu, well, it’s pretty stacked; seriously, look at this thing. Most important, Axelrad often plays hosts to special events, from live music to movie nights. That, coupled with one of the best vibes you’ll find in a bar, makes it unquestionably the bright spot of Midtown’s bar scene.
