Third Base
Third Base is a no-frills dive bar in Houston’s gay bar scene, offering a laid-back setting for socializing. It features multiple steel-tip dartboards, three pool tables, and a shuffleboard, catering to those who enjoy classic bar games. The atmosphere leans casual, with a mix of regulars and newcomers, though service quality can be inconsistent.
While the budget-friendly drinks and relaxed vibe make it a frequent stop for some, maintenance and staff reliability have been areas of concern. The outdoor space shows signs of wear, and bartender engagement varies. Despite its charm, potential patrons should weigh the trade-offs between its affordable, low-key appeal and occasional drawbacks before visiting.

Customer Reviews
Third Base has a rating of 4.2 out of 5 based on over 208 reviews on Google
Played some darts here. Plenty of steel tip dart boards to choose from. Good setup for playing pool.
This place is a dump, sticky tables, horrible restrooms. Bar tenders constantly complaining about their personal problems. Stinks like an old dirty rug. Patio floors are falling apart. Many trip hazards out back. Enter at your own risk.
Bartenders on shift have bad customer service, waited while she talked to family member took one sip of drink and realized why the bar was empty need better management
We were really excited to come in here for the first time since we live in the neighborhood right behind it and friends had told us good things. Walking in we had high hopes; it appeared to be just the kind of dive bar we enjoy. Unfortunately the service was so bad and so slow we won't be returning. We waited at the bar trying to get change forpool and order more drinks for a long time while the bartender was gossiping. I finally had to stand up and move near her to get her to help us and decided to just close out at the point. Even that was painfullly slow because she started talking to another patron about not knowing how to open a keg.
I love this bar and am there on average 4 times a week. They have dart boards and 3 pool tables. Things are very clean and I just love Kerrie and Kinsey! Those are my top favorites. Def a homey like atmosphere where a lot of regulars come together and just have fun! No food there but they do popcorn from time and time, and Kerrie usually whips good things up or does a pot luck during big sports events!
Nice place to meet people, friendly, chilled atmosphere, Bartender Shelby was cool, knows everything about star wars. Will go back.
This place is a cool low key no frills bar and it's cheap. They have dart boards pool, a very nice shuffle board table and a wall full of TV screens. No food, but there is a pizza place next door and you can bring food.
