POST Houston has become a must-see destination in the city. Once the hub of the city's U.S. mail system, the historic Barbara Jordan post office was renovated and reopened in 2021. Now it offers a diverse range of cuisines, fun events, a concert venue, and a stunning view of Houston’s downtown skyline. Plus, a new museum that merges audio and visual art with a nightclub experience.
Bring Your Stretchy Pants
POST Houston’s food court is not your typical mall food court. You’ll find a range of cuisines that reflect the diversity of Houston. So, it’ll take you multiple trips to savor it all. Stop by ChòpnBlọk, a West African restaurant that has gained national recognition. Grab a bite at East Side King, which offers globally influenced Japanese street food and is run by award-winning chef Paul Qui. I’m always savoring the empanadas at Taco Fuego. When all is said and done, grab some dessert at Flower & Cream. Think artisan ice cream with lots of sprinkles that will make your inner child smile 🍦

The Skyline View
You can’t make a trip to POST without visiting the roof to check out the skyline. This five-acre roof isn’t just a place for a nice selfie. It's a great spot to relax and enjoy a range of events. Grab a beer or cocktail at their mobile bar on the weekends. Jam to their live DJ or buy tickets for a concert series. Check out their free classes and performances — from yoga and Zumba to line dancing and poetry, there's something for virtually all tastes. You can also schedule a tour of their one-acre urban food farm.
Art Club
POST's newest attraction merges music, art, and technology. But you won't feel like you're at a classic art gallery. This pulses like a downtown nightclub and promises to add some magic to your life. Just opened in December, Art Club was inspired by Day for Night, the Houston music festival that combined large art installations and immersive light and sound experiences with music. In 2016 and 2017, the festival was staged at Post before it was renovated. Already, the black-box museum with nightclub vibes has some really eye-catching exhibits!
The Music Hall
This year, it’s time to buy tickets for a show at 713 Music Hall! This 5,000-square-foot venue hosts a variety of concerts throughout the year. Some upcoming shows on their calendar include Pakistani-American comedian Kumail Nanjiani; Grammy award-winning blues artist Gary Clark Jr.; and Australian electronic music duo Empire of the Sun.
