What 2 do in Houston??

Guys, I'm in Houston basically for the next 2 weeks on business, I'll be heading home on weekends but Monday-Thursday, I'm basically here watching TV in my hotel room. Is there a happening place during the weekdays downtown?
Thanks in advance for the tips.

Where are you staying? Galveston is a bit far for an evening trip and not that great in my opinion.

I was in Houston a few years ago, and I thought Galveston was a comparatively nice seaside place that has a certain charm...maybe it changed? Isn't it only a 1/2 hr drive?

Galveston is not too far away. Depending on the time of day, 1\2 hour to 45 minutes is do-able....Phil

Galveston is about 45 min from downtown in the middle of the day. I used to live in the Clear Lake area and trust me.... weekdays after 5:00........... It's prob 1.5-2 hours. Like others mentioned... the Galleria area is nice. There are some really nice bars and dining in downtown as well as mid-town. Ibiza is a great little place on the edge of downtown. As a bit of a spanish flare to the food and great spanish wine selection. Vic & Anthony's is downtown if you want a good steak.
