Old Tomball Honky Tonk, The Smallest Little Honky Tonk in Texas

The Old Tomball Honky Tonk at 110 North Oak Street is billed as the smallest honky tonk in Texas, tucked inside a little green barn in Old Town Tomball. It was created by local songwriter Michael Dean Pierce Jr., owner of Cloud Chief & Co., who couldn't find a venue for his own music and decided to build one. The tiny room is packed with character: hand-drawn show posters, neon signs, old gas station memorabilia, vintage ads, black leather booths and a famous gold-painted toilet funded by the community. The focus is on original music, a rootsy mix of honky-tonk, blues and storytelling the owner calls the "Tomball Sound." It's not a daily bar; shows are held about once or twice a month, usually on Saturday nights, and are announced on social media. Most shows are free or donation-based and first come, first served, so arrive early. Bluebonnet Tasting Room is across the street.

Main Street Crossing

Main Street Crossing is an intimate, nonprofit live-music venue at 111 West Main Street in Old Town Tomball. Founded and funded by Rick and Terri Davis, it opened in 2004 after about three years of planning, and the Houston Chronicle reported at the time that it was the first live music venue of its kind for the city. The small room brings national touring acts, singer-songwriters and tribute shows to an audience close to the stage, so every seat feels personal. As a nonprofit, Main Street Crossing also hosts small church services and charitable fundraising events, with concerts run through its for-profit subsidiary, Main Street Music. The organization presents some larger shows at other area venues and promotes community events such as Tomball's July Fourth festival. Catching a concert here is one of the best reasons to spend an evening in downtown Tomball; pair it with dinner at a nearby Old Town restaurant. See the website for upcoming shows and tickets.
