Moon Tower Inn is your go-to East End joint for gourmet wild game hot dogs, creative burgers, and over 60 craft brews on tap in a laid-back, divey atmosphere.
"Open Until: 12am Sun-Mon, 1am Thurs-Sat The Almighty Moon Tower Inn in the East End is known for three things: hot dogs made from wild game meats, a lot of beer, and a f*ck-you attitude most people admire. It also happens to be open late every night, which kind of goes with the attitude. Moon Tower Inn is mostly a giant patio with a few shipping containers functioning as the tap wall and kitchen. Yet despite the divey, industrial exterior, the hot dogs are pretty gourmet: think duck meat with apple brandy or wild boar ground together with marsala and provolone. So, embrace the drunken outlaw vibe, especially if you need a ridiculous hotdog to get through the evening or a giant cheeseburger after a late-night arrival at Hobby Airport—and make sure to order the potato salad." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"Sandwich: the high jive Often, the filling makes a sandwich incredible, but here, it’s the bread. While the high jive sandwich at Moon Tower might look like it's between two slices of fresh, oil-slick focaccia, that’s not quite correct. This isn’t just focaccia. These are two pillow-top feather-down mattresses carefully cradling delicious sliced turkey, bacon, and swiss cheese dripping in tangy dill mustard. If heaven exists for sandwiches, this one’s at the top of the list." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene, julie takahashi
"The Almighty Moon Tower Inn in the East End is known for three things: hot dogs made from wild game meats, a lot of beer, and a f*ck you attitude most people admire, even if they don’t want to admit it. We also love the ridiculously excessive burgers on the menu. Like the Cheech Burger smeared with nutty chevre and slightly spicy roasted poblanos. Or the Diner Style Harvey Burger done Reznor style that comes with a smushed boudin patty. Every burger is messy and meaty in the best way, usually dripping juice all over the paper basket-boat it arrives in. Embrace the ridiculousness, and the drunken outlaw vibe—and make sure to order the potato salad. " - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"Hot dogs. We're not talking the two hot dogs for a dollar at you local Ikea. Think foie gras, venison, wild board, among others. If that's not your style, they've got burgers and a huge selection of beers for you to enjoy outside during all 2 seasons of Houston's weather. Did we mention Monday Movie Night all summer? That's like all year for Houston." - Primer Grey

There are also excessively ridiculous concoctions, like the Cheesus Crust, which is just two grilled cheese sandwiches welded together with more cheese. You should embrace the stupidity, and the drunken outlaw vibe—and also make sure to order the potato salad. " - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
