What a dork I am.

I'm pretty sure I've worn tennis shoes (type) shoes on a Thur/Fri night before. And a t-shirt. I prolly had a jacket on though.

Yea, that place is a serious joke.

have not been in many, many months.

Two Words: Torso Girl

It's a new thing, they said. What a joke.

The beginning of the end.

i've never a more overrated establishment in my life. its just absolutely nuts. the place isn't that cool but EVERYONE goes.

i don't go. I only went the other night b/c stoney larue was playing. I've been 2 other times ONLY during HH times.

It's a new thing? I haven't been, but to pick my chica up, since maybe last June?

Edit: it was last August.

I think I've discussed this with someone on here before, but I don't know if I've ever been in a space on earth that is quite as generic as Pub Fiction. The appeal is something I don't understand in the least. It really is nothing special and sort of retarded. I went one time and they were playing some house music through the place while some generic Foo Fighters cover-like band was playing at the same time. That about sums up how generic this place really is. Just decide what the hell you are going to do and do it.

When I do go there and have fun it's usually because of the people that I'm with. But, overall, I have to agree with the original poster because there is nothing special about it and the new attire regulation is stupid.

its a good place to get drugged as well......and have your purse stolen, as well.


happened to 2 good friends of mine about a month ago.

translation - we got really f'd up, lost our ****, possibly got our backs blown out by some random, so we'll just say we were drugged.

bingo.



I stopped going to pubfiction when i was there one Saturday and it was the "official" watching location for Aggie football. Have not been back since. nothing worse than hearing people do yells while watching on t.v.

hands down worst bar in houston. I hope Diggity doesn't see this thread he won't be happy with us.

I was there one time when they did yells during the game. It was one of the most embarrasing moments of my life. I think it was the A&M vs. Texas BBall game. The sips (and some Aggies) at the bar were just looking around bewildered that we would validate the reason Aggie jokes are told.

It was a WOW moment.

Oh lord. Knowing that makes me sad and embarrassed.

The exact same thing happened to us about a month ago on a Thursday night. The two with sandals walked right in, but our friend with white tennis shoes was told they are against dress code.

Ridiculous

now, you guys do realize that they are probably enforcing whatever codes b/c they're trying to keep thugs out?

I seriously doubt they're trying to screw over young professionals that want to spend lots of cash there. It has more to do with the houston thuggery than anything else.

and i'm no huge fan of the place, but I can understand where they're coming from.

Please do away with "official" watch locations for Aggie sports.

The place wasn't as bad when it just opened up and you could actually breathe in the place. Now that it is 'the' place to be I would agree with you guys. However, for some reason the girls we're with always want to go up there... so I'm good for at least one night a weekend there.

Side note, I don't remember anyone doing yells during the t.u. bball game but then again I was in the back 'pub' area.

and ducks, I think the 'official' watching parties are great for cities that are far away. but i would agree with you that in Houston, it's not a very good idea.
When I was in NYC for the tech game, it was good to meet a lot of ags up in that area.

i just avoid that place on weekends. during the week it's actually pretty fun....cheap drinks too!

Maybe it was the A&M vs. texas football game where I saw the yells. Either way, I'm pretty sure I've seen it twice and both times the yells were led by mid-40's Ags wearing jean shorts with a maroon polo tucked in.

I've never been eventhough the Howdy Club Game watching parties are normally held there...

its all in the name. its a unique name. i dont understand the appeal so thats my only guess.

place kinda sucks - always been good to me, but very smoky, annoying service (all over you) and slow valet parking. Not a Mat-recommended place for anything but people you don't want to meet later in the evening.

Only thugs wear tennis shoes? I had no idea

Sweet...I've never been called a thug before!!!

I heard about this thread on Saturday when I was in Aggieland and was debating over whether or not to reply once I got to read it, so here we go. I need to get rid of this rookie posting status somehow.

Personally, I think the beer's as good at Pub Fiction as it is anywhere. Service gets slow when it is crowded, so I just order from the bar more often than not. I like the food there. The place works just fine for me, and the crowd is generally pretty clean so I'm not worried about a bar brawl. I don’t have a problem parking on the street because it’s free.

I don't know about the tennis shoes, I've been in before with sandals and shorts on for early game watching parties and stayed late but felt really underdressed. I generally come from work and I'm usually wearing cowboy boots and slacks, so I don't catch any flak for the dress code.

Besides the apparent dress code upgrade, part of the problem could be that there are newer folks working the door. After the last GWP vs. t.u. the place filled up to capacity and I needed to get a buddy in late (who happens to run Houston A&M club). I've been there enough where most of the staff knows me, but there were two new guys at the door and they still wouldn't let him in even when I came and asked. I even pulled rank since it was a Howdy Club event and asked them if they'd like me to go get the manager to come up and let him in, and they didn't budge. We got him in through another way, but that was really beside the point.

We will most likely keep Howdy Club game watching parties there for one simple reason - Pub Fiction treats Howdy Club right. Most other bars give us trouble at one level or another, and we have never had any as an organization with Pub. The location is good for our members. The place has TVs everywhere except the head. The service gets slow, but it doesn’t suck near as bad as other places we’ve had the game watching parties in the past.

There have never been any yells after any game under my charge that I remember, but I was in Austin for the t.u. game last year so maybe I missed that particular episode. Personally, I think the War Hymn after a win is a nice touch since it is the official party location, but yells are a little much or you'd see me go up and lead them myself after a win. If a couple of folks went to the front and led yells, I wouldn’t have stopped them even if I had been there. By my figuring, that’s a lot better than you dirty *******s who don’t wash your hands after you take a piss, and when you do that wearing an A&M shirt some t-sip will just say that all Aggies were raised in a barn because they don’t wash their hands. Whatever.

You don't have to go to the "Official" location to watch the game – I’d like everyone to come out and have a good time, but I won’t lose any sleep if they don’t - but there are people in the world who don't know a lot of folks in town and want to watch the game at a central location. On the one side I hear, "Don't have an official location" and on the other side I hear that Howdy Club doesn't have their stuff together because they didn't make an announcement for where everyone is watching the big game. As they say, you can't please all the people all the time...

Wow, this site thinks a seven letter word for someone who is illegitimate is a potty word.
