It's hard to stand out among the throng of downtown watering holes, but the Flying Saucer Draught Emporium does it easily. A first-rate staff, classy atmosphere and what might be Houston's biggest selection of beers make the Flying Saucer a premier bar. The Saucer offers more than 200 beers, and almost half of them are on draft. In fact, one of the club's main features is the long, long wall behind the main bar that is lined with dozens and dozens of beer nozzles. The happy-hour crowd includes lots of business types, and beers are available in 16-, 22- or 60-ounce servings. And as if great brews weren't enough, there's a beer drinker's dream menu with quesadillas, a German platter (sausage, salami and cheese, enough for two) and a full selection with oven-baked sandwiches (try the hot Brat on a Bun, with sauerkraut, spicy mustard and Swiss cheese on dark rye). -- Olivia Flores Alvarez
