The Mucky Duck is Houston's premier spot for Texas folk, blues, country and Celtic music, and rated one of the Top 20 Acoustic Venues in the U.S. Big-time artists such as Ezra Charles, Guy Clark and even Lyle Lovett have performed here, while local acts and other famous folkies are regular entertainers at this popular Irish pub. The Mucky Duck is comfortable and cozy, despite the lack of space, and the English and Irish interior decorations serve to enhance the ambience. Wooden tables of varying size are spread between the bar and the small music stage, and several booths are available both inside and out on the enclosed back porch. The bar offers international beers on draught or by the bottle, and a large assortment of wines. Most patrons favor the traditional Irish beers such as Guinness and Harp, but domestic brands and other imports are available. The Duck serves free food during the its weekly happy hour, and the pub has a fairly impressive menu from which you can order while enjoying your brew and the live music. Don't miss the open mike on Monday. Stand- up comedians, poets, storytellers and songwriters are all welcome and there's never a cover charge. The Irish jam sessions on Wednesday nights at 8PM (no cover) are also a must. -- Amy Kerr
