El Big Bad

El Big Bad is a point of interest in Downtown, Houston, Texas, located at 419 Travis St, Houston, Houston, TX.

El Big Bad was a 10,000-square-foot gastrocantina and world-renowned infused tequila bar anchored in Houston's Downtown Entertainment District at 419 Travis St., steps from Minute Maid Park and Market Square. Billing itself as the world's largest infused tequila bar, it stocked 70+ house-made infusions crafted from fresh fruits, peppers, and spices, earning multiple 'Best Margarita' honors from local and statewide publications. The whimsical, fairy tale-inspired interior opened onto a second-floor wraparound terrace overlooking the historic Market Square streetscape below. The kitchen offered a creative Latin-Tex-Mex menu — tacos, stacked enchiladas, ceviche, ribs, and torrejas — making it equally popular with cocktail enthusiasts and diners. The venue closed in early 2025 following a rent dispute, with the owner seeking a new home for the concept.
