1. Find exactly what you’re looking for by booking a Houston event space through Peerspace

The best way to get instant access to hundreds of curated party spaces is by searching for creative spaces in Houston on Peerspace. It’s kind of like Airbnb, except that it’s hourly rentals of rooftop lounges, elegant mansions, private pools, bars, cafes, and much more! By using advanced filtering tools, you can narrow down your search to find the exact space that fits your needs and budget.
Someone who is looking for an indoor/outdoor party space should check out Houston’s newest rooftop deck with downtown views. This versatile 5,000-square-foot outdoor space has room for eating, drinking, and playing. Like all listings on Peerspace, you’ll find high-quality images of the space uploaded by the host – take a look and go for a virtual tour!
Looking to throw a pool party? This party, pool, and lounge is a rare find and ideal for a pool party. It offers you a barbecue grill, speakers, a game room, and patio seating along with the pool itself. Here’s what one Peerspace user who threw a 1st birthday party here had to say about her experience: “Definitely booking again for another party!!! Booking was easy, the host was laid back and easy going. The property is great and the kids enjoyed the pool. Great experience overall.”
2. Enjoy drinks and games all-in-one at the Cidercade
Have a loved one who loves to play arcade games and have a few drinks? Planning their party at Houston’s Cidercade is a sure winner.
