Voodoo Queen Daiquiri Dive

"Open Until: 2am One day, the fine folks behind The Almighty Moon Tower Inn decided that not only did Houston need a totally unhinged eight-frozen-machines-deep daiquiri bar, but it also needed more gut-busting (or, in some cases, alcohol-absorbing) food. Enter Voodoo Queen Daiquiri Dive in the East End. Stuffed with black lights, taxidermy, air hockey tables, and a couple of lifesize skeletons, Voodoo Queen is a frozen drink and chicken tenders lover's paradise. Get a basket of tendies, massive fried shrimp po’boy, or crinkle-cut fries smothered in roast beef and cheese sauce, alongside neon green cocktails or a few jello shots until closing time." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene

"Right off the METRO line in the East End, Voodoo Queen Daiquiri Dive is an eight-frozen-machines deep cocktail bar with a fully-loaded late night menu. Take down a shrimp po’boy or tater tots covered in roast beef and cheddar cheese while double-fisting a neon green frozen drink or playing air hockey. Or split a basket of chicken tenders over a couple jello shots. Voodoo Queen is all about balance. How to get there: Drive (five minutes) or take the METRO green line to the Coffee Plant/Second Ward stop (15 minutes)" - chelsea thomas, gianni greene

"If anyone were to argue Voodoo Queen Daiquiri Dive—an unhinged, eight-frozen-machines-at-the-ready cocktail bar in the East End—isn’t fun, we would just point at the lifesize fake skeletons, neon air hockey tables, and people plunging jello shots into their mouths as proof. Voodoo Queen makes fun even more fun, like fun squared. Plus the late-night rations of loaded fried shrimp po’boys, tater tots smothered in cheese, and giant chicken tender baskets make for ideal drinking food while playing a couple of rounds of pool." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene

"Rambunctious and quirky: that describes this East End watering hole. Besides the crazy frozen machines, this daiquiri bar is reminiscent of the fun-loving bars of New Orleans. The food is just as pleasantly over-the-top. Choose from baskets of fried chicken or seafood, loaded po’boys that don’t skimp on the shrimp, or its famous Shut Up Dogs — sweet corn and jalapeno hushpuppies." - Brittany Britto Garley, Sean Hekmat

"Voodoo Queen Daiquiri Dive in the East End is exactly what it sounds like: a mostly frozen drinks dive bar with a bit of an attitude. There is no shortage of controlled chaos here. With eight frozen drink machines, you can try each drink as they come, or order any number of combinations, like a frozen swirl. We like the Tropical Depression, which is full of “rums” and passionfruit. And the Bikini Season (a swirl of the electric green Pakalolo Pipeline and Mango Larry with extra melon liqueur). What To Order: Anything frozen (or a Caribbean Xanax if you are very brave)" - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
