Halo Bar

This Loop bar's greatest asset is that it's inside the Pageant -- making Halo Bar a guaranteed hot spot for afterparties (and for local DJs, who entertain would-be concertgoers who couldn't get tickets). Performances by some of the city's best local bands immediately following Pageant shows have become a big attraction, and a long, well-stocked bar means that nights here often go strong right up until the 3 a.m. closing time. Halo Bar is only open Wednesday through Saturday nights, plus nights when the Pageant has a show. There's plenty of seating for large groups, so don't hesitate to bring a friend or twelve.
