A nightlife landmark in Houston, this hip-hop club's setting may not have much glitz and glamour, but it's indisputably one of the hottest places to get your groove on. College night Thursdays and Sound Factory Saturdays attract young, enthusiastic partiers ready to shake it until sunrise as local, national and international DJs spin hypnotic hip-hop and house mixes. Multiple bars, a balcony overlooking the shimmying masses and a cozy outdoor patio complete the package.
