Looks like you are staying at the one near Greenway plaza. I would check out West University, its just south of where you will be staying. Plenty of bars down there to get trashed at.

West University? Do you know what the hell you're talking about?

If you're talking about Rice Village... that is at University and Morningside Drive. Lots of bars around there. No clubs there... just bars.
